| Why should anyone affirm womanface? |
But does affirming their preferred pronouns really help? To go along with this belief that they actually inhabit the incorrect body? Maybe Riley's anxiety is not being helped by affirming this non-binary status? Ugh, and Jen just announced, of all the things in the world, a parenting course. Who called it on here? |

It’s not hard to be respectful. Just use the pronoun! Yes, it may change constantly, be grammatically incorrect or completely made up (what’s a zer?). Don’t be a bigot.
And if there’s a young girl in your life that feels awkward with her changing body, NEVER tell her that’s completely normal and that she’s perfect exactly as she is. Support the people telling her to take dangerous pharmaceuticals that will probably make her infertile. If she’s worried about it, assure her they are totally reversible *wink*. If you feel uncomfortable that a man is in your locker room at the Y, DON’T. Just change your clothes and let him watch everything. It’s what Jesus would want. If your daughter has spent years perfecting her sport and a boy suddenly decides he’s a girl and takes her medals, scholarships, and recognition, you shouldn’t be mad. His feelings and mental health are far more important than hers. Biological sex (that proves males are stronger and faster) has nothing to do with sports! Gender is a social construct, Transphobe! If you’re a female inmate just trying to serve your time and return to society, it shouldn’t matter that a man is now housed with you. He says he’s a woman now! So what if he was a serial rapist and now has complete access and opportunity to assault more women? Be accepting! But if you hear a detransitioner shout their regret from the rooftops and demand accountability from the industry that has left them infertile and mutilated…. Say they are lying, disregard their stories, and call them hateful names. It’s the only loving thing to do. Y’all need to do better. |
BOOM! |
| Don’t bite, people. Keep on topic. Is Jen skipping mecamp this summer, you think? She has two cruises coming up after summer, and is empty nesting now so her life is a mecamp. |
| Any day now Jen will post a long post about how dear and precious and magical her upcoming MeCamp will be. It’ll be some perfect, picturesque village with the dearest and sweetest locals with the dearest and sweetest little shoppes and eateries. The local budding art scene will be just so dear and just so sweet. Jen will go there to put the final touches on her latest “manifesto”, the one that goes there and “leaves nothing for the return home”. Also, Jen will be visited throughout the MeCamp by the dearest and sweeter friends. Oh, and also Tyler, of course. |
Yes. Don’t take the bait. Stay silent. It doesn’t really affect you anyway. When your granddaughters grow up and ask why they don’t have sports or female only safe spaces, you can tell them you thought it was “just a pronoun”. |

“My grandmother was a self-righteous bigot” is what your grandchildren will most likely be saying.
What’s next? You’re going to refuse to use someone’s nickname because it offends your childish views of science. |
They're not the one being childish here. |
Nor are they the one being self-righteous. You should really hear yourself. |
This a terrible counter example. Using a nickname does not involve affirming someone who's pretending to be what they can never be, which is to say affirming a lie. |
Yes, let’s keep pretending this is just about innocuous language and not the list of ways women are actually being harmed (see above). Believing a man can become a woman by simply speaking it, is the childish view of science. I believe women are more than a “social construct” and we deserve better. |
Womanhood is so easy even a man can do it. These people are elective idiots. |
Exactly! The locals will LOVE her and befriend her. There will be no dining alone for her because wherever she goes, strangers will ask her to join them! Let’s not forget that when she goes to nowhereville, USA, the residents will immediately swoon because a real life celebrity will be in their midst! And then when Tyler joins her, you would think it’s JLo and Ben that have landed in this town! She’ll know to ask for recommendations to boost engagement on her social media. She’ll show a pic of her feet propped up and a book cover of a book she’ll never read because that’ll be an opportunity to plug that lame book club. She’ll screenshot some HILARIOUS texts from the kid who has been asked to water the plant. HILARIOUS!! She’ll pack her shirt that says Tylers and wear it. It’s also been a hot minute since she’s posted a pic of that chubby baby and talked about his delicious rolls, so that could also be coming soon. |
So spot on. Jen is beyond parody these days. |
