Posted by in Civil Rights

Views: 322I’ve noticed that TERFs tend to lie. Like, a lot. As in, metric tons of BS. TERFs far and wide are currently gnashing their collective teeth over the reality that their hate-fest conference (#RadFem2013) was booted from its venue for the second year in a row.

Posted by in Civil Rights

Views: 3180A RadFem has been trying to troll me for about a week. She not only asserted that I’m male, but that I’m emotionally unstable, that by boobs aren’t perky and that I need to get surgery for that. Has anyone else noticed that some RadFems seem to morph into an amalgam of Ralph Kramden and Archie Bunker...
