I had a truly bizarre interaction on
Twitter today wherein somebody called
me a terf, and I was very like cavalier about it. like, okay. whatever.
and then, um... this started because of.. I
was talking about the use of preferred
pronouns and how it's silly, and so then
they called me a terf and I said "yeah,
okay, whatever. who cares?" and then somebody tried to
come at me with, like my not capitulating
to preferred pronouns is the same thing
as if she insists that I'm heterosexual
even though I am a lesbian. and it was
the silliest, it's the silliest argument
ever because... you really can say what you
want about me, like I believe in free
speech for everyone, so you can go ahead
and say that. I'm a lesbian anyway. and I
think her argument was gonna be that
like, well, "even if you don't use
preferred pronouns that's still what their
pronouns are". and it's like, so silly
because my being a lesbian is based in
material and biological reality. I am a
homosexual female person, so whatever you
want to say about me doesn't change the
reality, in the same way that having
these insane neo pronouns doesn't change
the material reality of what these
idiots are. so it was like, a really
bizarre attempt at a  "gotcha!"
but it didn't work clearly.
I don't know. I don't really know where
I'm going with other than that
was so frankly... it was just silly. like...
and a thing that always drives me nuts
too is like um... she's like "what do you
think about that?" and I'm just like... "you
you can say what you want, I believe in
free speech, so you go ahead and say it,
like, okay..." and then whenever you mention
that you believe in free speech
inevitably one of these fucking morons
will come back with something about
Nazis. almost always/ and it's like, yeah... I
believe in free speech for Nazis too.
like it's free speech for all or free
speech for none. so I have to choose all,
because if the scum of the earth Nazis
can be censored so can i and so can you.
and I can hate, very much, the things that
Nazi say, and I can think it's vile and
scummy and the, like, no better than dirt
on the ground... but the right to free
speech is the most important right that
any of us could have. and the right to
free speech is the reason why women are
able to have these discussions about who
is a woman. so yeah, it has to... free speech
has to be... no matter how much you hate or
think what someone might say or
verbalize is vile... free speech has to
apply to them top. I am like, I don't even
know what the word is... about...uh..
what is the word? hmm ,I don't know what I
did Meghan Murphy said it in a recent
podcast I think... she called herself a
"free-speech something or other". fuck, I
can't remember what it is and I can't
remember what podcast it was on either,
so I can't even go find it. but yeah it
was... basically boiled down to like, you're...
ugh! I'm really having a hard time here! it
basically boiled down to the idea that
like, yeah free speech is the most
important thing that any of us can have,
so bottom line it has to apply to every
single personm no matter what. because if
someone else can be censored so can you.
so yeah.
this recording is a mess, I go into all
of them with no plan, and I just start
talking. this one is all over the place
so I'm going now. goodbye.
