@sun_eater@Tony@PeachySummer@mk@teratology There have been known trannies on Spinster, too. Again, not a radfem instance. No one vets users, there is no investigative team. People are banned for posting behavior; I have no idea what behaviors are banned.
@teratology@Tony@PeachySummer@mk Well, talking about resumes and political bonafides is fun and all, but I am not in the business of herding cats or making all women agree to the same terms.
It seems some have resentment at MK for not being the figurehead they seem to need. That position must be currently open, though, so maybe you could fill it?

Nobody is saying that, but as a co-founder and someone who calls herself a radical feminist running a fediverse instance called spinster, I would think there is irony in the fact that her boyfriend who panders to white supremacists is the real sysadmin and moderator.
Tell me, when is the last time you saw M.K active, because my spinster friends haven’t in a long time. And when they asked for a someone who exploited a spinster to be de-federated they refused. When the pleroma exploit was made public Alex denied that it would effect Spinster but I bet that he patched it (as he should have). It doesn’t mean he was transparent with his gullible (majority) female userbase though.

Why would I want to admin an instance full of blatant racists, Zionists, and gender crit conservatives? Cat fights and petty blocking aside. No thanks.
@teratology@Tony@PeachySummer@mk I would guess that quite a few Spinsters are not separatists or radical feminists, and I am not sure MK calls herself either of those.
@HoolaHoolaNope@Tony@PeachySummer@mk I am certain that MK calls herself a radical feminist last time I saw her resume and website, but you are right many spinsters don’t and leading gender crit figures are openly anti-feminist themselves. The lack of ideological unity is why they are not taken seriously. I could respect it more if spinster was called a gender critical instance instead of a feminist one.
@HoolaHoolaNope@Tony@PeachySummer@mk lmao that’s clearly a site using Ghost CMS. Alex Gleason calls himself a feminist which is contradictory to radical feminism. That’s why many spinsters have left.
I will never take these people seriously when they view patriarchy as an entirely separate entity from the primary contradiction. Acting like trans people and gender ideology is the biggest issue women face is ridiculous and reactionary. Choice feminism accomplishes nothing either.
@PeachySummer@Tony@HoolaHoolaNope you realize that Alex Gleason is the admin/owner and that his gf is just a puppeted figure who has been inactive for months or a year?
He's going to get shanked. People hate cops in prison as it is, and now the cop who started like a year of riots is in there. The blacks have to kill him at this point lol. Like as a black man in jail, he is everything you are supposed to hate.
Yes, it is current year. But I hate to tell you sweetie 💅 progressivism is a lie. The idea that things will always go in one direction is a lie. Politics are a two way street and shit is being walked back.
Especially so when people like you keep ignoring elephants in the room. Like when I mentioned "degenerate hoes" because acknowledging that maybe I ran into a lot of bad girl friends and got sick of that noise is entirely too hard for you. But having to spell this shit out is lame especially when I know you won't listen and I am kind of wasting my time.
@Silverwolf@Tony@sun_eater how does that make me a slut? I don’t believe you can be “converted”, and I have no idea what “recovering” from lesbianism entails but it sounds like a miserable existence. It’s 2023, I thought we were past this regressive shit.
@Silverwolf@Tony@sun_eater girl are you trying to convert me to be str8 rn? Your religious beliefs have nothing to do with the existence of homosexuality.
Good luck being miserable and enduring mediocre sex with men.
You may have gotten this weird shit in your head too early.
My culture is extremely homophobic so no nothing has gotten into my head, it’s just who I always was. Not everyone wants to grow up with government propaganda insisting Zac Efferon is cute. Fuck off.
@sun_eater@Tony@Silverwolf true, I just feel pity as someone who was made to hate myself growing up within the Church myself. I lived with pastors for half of my lifetime.
@Tony@sun_eater@Silverwolf it means it’s either a self hating lesbian trying to convert herself to be st8 or it’s a self hating bisexual trying to repress their homosexuality
Out of all the gender orientation flags, the transgender flag is probably one of my favorites as well. It's use of pink and baby blue colours which often associated with male and female genders respectivefully. Commonly used as the colours of choice for baby products reberberates with strong symbolism.
Just that it has become cringe to use as the majority of people have ruined it for everyone else. You'll end up running the risk of inviting identify politics as a result.
I would always get tagged along with the group for my individual actions too, very annoying
If i did something problematic i would get a "ofc the tranny is a bad person" from one side and a "i expected more of a trans person" from the other one
@Silverwolf@eris@Tony@Maholmire@teratology it is usually the more sensitive twitter-brained cancel cultured that is always posting stuff about gender that dislikes me Usually
Got tagged a while back and was told to never stop being the Ally that I am. Glad that my no-nonsense approach to identifty politics are being recognized by someone at least.
It can prove difficult to actively advocate for the rights of those that are quick to turn on people the same way others have to themselves.
@Maholmire@eris@Tony@Silverwolf@winter@teratology yeah, i have got quite the few trans people turn on me despite being trans too. But in the end, if you don't generalize everyone as a group, you're good
