Hello underachievers!
Before we get into the video...
You know I gotta do it!
I gotta promote my new song.
I have a new song out called "No Point Pretending"
with Bears in Trees.
It's like a collaboration song.
It's a load of fun.
There's also a music video,
which is also a lot of fun, and also--
Last thing, I'm really sorry.
I'm on tour...
Or I'm going on tour.
I don't know when this video is out,
but if it's April, I'm on tour.
If it's before April, I'm going on tour.
I'm playing in America, there's a bunch of shows.
Here are the dates,
tickets are really cheap
and the shows are very gay,
they're very queer.
You may make your best friend at a Noah Finnce show
because I grew up making all my good friends at concerts,
so if you want to do that,
link is in the description.
So, TERFs!
Trans exclusionary radical feminists.
And pretty much what that means is...
You're transphobic, but it's for women's rights,
so it's different, somehow.
I feel like most people clicking on this video will know what a TERF is.
Anyway, as you can imagine,
there are a lot of times where TERFs completely miss the mark
and those are all the times,
but sometimes they miss the mark so far
that it's just hilarious.
Like, it's just an absolute fail.
But when bigots fail, it's funny.
And I'd like to laugh with you today.
This is a tweet from somebody called Maya Forstater.
If you don't know who she is already,
just give a quick Google search.
TERFs look up at her like she is a goddess.
They are just obsessed with her.
And why are they obsessed with her?
She must have something really important to say,
something really insightful.
Something that nobody has ever said before
that could really help out women
protect themselves from trans people.
"In the context of prisons,
"it's the hole that matters".
And I know what you're thinking, like:
"The hole?
"Is that where they send people
"to be in solitary confinement away from other prisoners?"
No!
She's talking about orifices!
"Women have a hole, their vagina,
"which men want to penetrate with their penis,
"either consensually, transactionally or by force.
"Bluntly, the reason we have men and women's prisons
"is to keep the men away from the holes".
Which...
I feel like she may be missing some vital Information,
maybe let's just go through a few things
she may have forgotten about.
I mean, One,
yes, women have a hole.
Men also have holes.
I feel like most people have holes.
If they don't have holes,
that, you know, that could cause issues
and maybe they should be in a hospital and not prison,
but men have holes that could also be penetrated.
Also, number Two,
Maya, gay people are real.
They're real life, they exist.
Men don't always want to penetrate a woman's hole.
I feel like, in most contexts, when men are talking about holes,
they're talking about another man's hole.
I've already heard the language of like "hole"
to be used by gay men.
I see it used so much by gay men, in fact,
that when I think of "hole"
I think of a tweet that I saw from a pawn account on Twitter,
and it was just some guy tweeting "a hole thread",
"let's see them holes".
I think it says a lot about a person
that they put so much value in holes,
like they care so much about hole.
Ladies, do you ever feel that, when you're around men,
you just need to cover your hole?
Just to protect yourself from the hole demons.
I don't really know what else to add to the conversation.
I feel like I've said "hole" way too many times.
I would love to see a hole count.
So, this is from a website called "Mumsnet",
which I assumed, initially,
was set up to help mums help each other,
maybe with tips on child care, like:
"Oh! My childhood Snappy rash!
"Here's a fun thing that helps that".
I don't know what moms do.
But, for some reason, over the years,
it has been a place where TERFism just breathes.
They get together, they talk about hole all the time,
and they complain about trans people.
So, this is under "feminism, sex and gender" discussions.
"The man next door gave us these treats for our cats.
"I couldn't believe the LGBT supportive message on the label,
"so that's another thing for me to boycott".
And it's just a picture of Dreamies,
who proudly support the LGBT Foundation.
TERFs are not a fan of the LGBT Foundation,
they are purely only fans of LGB organizations.
And, to be honest, if you look deep enough--
Sometimes you don't really have to look that deep.
TERFs don't actually care about LGB people,
they don't care about lesbians,
they don't care about gays,
they don't care about bisexuals.
All they care about is hating trans people.
And they also claim to care about women,
but like, honestly,
it is insane the amount of TERFs that will team up
with like, pro-lifers,
purely because the pro-lifers also don't like trans people.
There are prominent people in the TERF movement
that literally team up with white nationalists,
because white nationalists also, you know,
don't like LGBT people.
But, you know, what could the LGBT Foundation be doing so bad
that we should boycott them for being on Dreamy's packets?
Well, this person says:
"Perhaps I'm missing something,
"but why would you boycott a company that sponsors
"a charity offering the support detailed in this screenshot?
"What negative impact does it have on you personally?"
This says:
"Over the past year, we have:
"Delivered 1,035 LGBT-affirmative and inclusive
"talking therapy sessions to 276 people".
So, number One bad thing
that TERFs don't like about the LGBT Foundation,
they give people therapy.
Number Two,
they've also ensured that over 2,000 people with nowhere else to turn to
had access to immediate advice
and support through their helpline email and pop-in service.
Absolutely raging the TERFs are!
They've also done a bunch of other great things,
but we know that.
But, there's actually a solution to this problem?
As this person says:
"If you look carefully,
"you can find some packets without the rainbow.
"I buy those ones, regardless of the flavor.
"Sorry cats!"
Imagine your cat just really loves salmon Dreamies.
They want nothing more than to crunch
on some crispy crunchy salmon Dreamies--
They sound real good.
You are denying your cat a salmon Dreamy
because it has a flag on it?
You're insane!
"I've had three kids.
"I can't bounce on a trampoline without [ ] myself.
"Does that trigger trans women?"
I think this one is my favorite.
TERFs for real [ ] themselves to trigger trans women.
"I wear a fanny pad going out with my friends
"because I know I'm gonna [ ] myself laughing
"for four hours straight.
"Literally, [ ] myself laughing.
"Actual [ ].
"Not PMSL, actual [ ].
"I should wear those fancy paper pants,
"but I refuse to do that till I'm over 60.
"Am I triggering trans women?"
So, believe it or not,
this is not the first time I've seen this kind of thing.
And I feel like, if you genuinely went up to a trans woman in real life,
where real life people live and not just in these TERF forums,
and we're just like,
"hey, by the way, I [ ] myself.
"I've had biological kids.
"I delivered babies and I [ ] myself,
"what do you think about that?"
I genuinely just think that
the trans woman would think you're insane!
I can kind of understand, you know, like,
when women give birth, they go through a lot.
They go through a lot during labor,
they go through a lot during pregnancy.
And, for some reason,
they feel like trans women are taking that away from them
just by calling themselves "women".
They think that trans women calling themselves "women"
means that trans women think
that they're exactly the same as every woman ever
and that they've gone through every single thing
that every woman ever will go through.
But like, not all woman have kids.
Not all woman go through childbirth.
Not all woman go through pregnancy...
Not all woman are able to, and not all women want to.
And like, if I give them like, the biggest benefit of the doubt,
literally ever,
I've seen like, one or two trans women complain about period pain
and how they have period pain.
I like, look...
I had the worst periods.
I would pass out.
I would I would not be able to leave my bed.
I would throw up, I would just--
I would just faint, it just wasn't good.
And, you know, it does feel kind of strange
when a trans woman is comparing cramps that she gets
to like, menstruation cramps.
I get that!
It makes you feel a bit like,
"oh, you know, like, I pass out and poo myself from this".
But is it that deep?
And even so--
How does any of this make you think that you [ ] yourself
is gonna upset a trans woman?
So, here's one of the classic left wing and right wing memes
that right wingers love to make.
So, trans women in sport.
You've heard about it,
against your will, probably,
and it's gotten to the point where these crazy TERFs
will look to demonize trans people in literally any situation.
Here is one of those situations.
Here is a video of two women wrestling.
They're just doing their thing that--
They're doing the wrestle.
And, you know what happens?
People see two women wrestling
and they think, "women can't wrestle,
"there's no possible way that women could be strong.
"One of these women has to be a man".
"Cannot think of a better image
"of the fight of women against the crazy trans lobby".
They love to do that, by the way.
They're not just pitting trans people against cis people,
they're pitting trans women against women,
who we know experience misogyny,
we know they experience sexism...
So TERFs do this insidious thing
where they disguise their bigotry as, you know, a fight for women's rights,
but anyway, this wrestling video that this guy is using to,
you know, stir up hatred for trans people,
it is not actually including a trans woman!
"The people in the video are Mackenzie Dern and Gabby Garcia,
"neither of which are transgender".
TERFs will do this!
They will look for any slightly masculine feature in any woman
and just assume that, if there's any masculinity to a woman,
that that means she's trans.
They'll see a woman with big hands, says she's trans.
They'll see a womançwith like slight facial stubble
and say she's trans.
They'll see a tall woman,
they'll see a woman with a big head,
they'll see a strong woman
and use it as an opportunity to hate on trans people.
But anyway, this guy has got himself so worked up about nothing!
Absolute fail!
And even some of the responses to this tweet, like:
"Apart from the obvious strength difference,
"at one point he had his face between her legs.
"Absolutely vile".
I know I say this all the time,
but I think it's insane that they think we're the crazy ones.
Have you ever seen wrestling?
People literally make wrestling [ ] because it's so homoerotic!
And it's just wild that if this person thought
that both these women were cis,
they wouldn't have a a problem.
But they just create a problem!
That's the whole thing!
People just create problems out of absolutely nothing!
And that's why TERFism is so dangerous!
Because they are so delusional
that they genuinely think that they're doing a good thing
by being bigoted towards trans people.
They will come up with like, "rational points"
that actually aren't rational or true in any way
and argue them and push this narrative
that trans people are insane and dangerous and it's just...
"Imagine the training this girl has put in most of her life,
"the social sacrifices she's made
"to be the best she can and win medals.
"Only to be confronted by a MAN.
"Dress it up however you like,
"this is disgusting
"and all women should stop competing if anymore enter".
They must know,
or maybe they don't,
or maybe they're ignoring it,
but like, there are regulations for trans women entering sports.
So, here's another example of this.
Maybe with a very familiar face.
"And you're a man to every normal person
"and there's nothing you can do about it, LOL",
This trans person responds with this picture
of beloved children's author,
massive TERF, kind of terrible person, J.K. Rowling,
and she says:
"Do I look like a man to you?"
I'll give you a few seconds to guess what the response is.
"Yes!"
"My friends on Snapchat will disagree with you
"and they say I have a feminine nose".
And Pink Toad responds:
"You can look like a girl,
"but under that clothes and make up you're a grown ass man".
There are thousands of examples of this kind of thing
that I could show you,
but this is a delusion that people are living in.
I'm not gonna be like:
"Oh, this is what a girl looks like,
"this is what a man looks like",
but come on!
J.K. Rowling does not look like a man!
And this kind of stuff it's weird to see,
and it's kind of scary that there are people that will do stuff like this,
but it's also kind of reassuring,
because just think about it:
If a TERF is gonna look at J.K. Rowling
and say that she looks like a man
purely because they think she's a trans woman,
can you really be that upset when a TERF misgenders you?
Or tells you that you don't look like your gender?
Like, they'll look at a picture of J.K. Rowling
and say that she looks like a man
because they think she's trans!
So, trans women in sport.
Let's just bring it up real quick, this is actually a short one.
So here's a fun cartoon of a jacked woman saying:
"Why do you care?
"It has no effect on your life".
Obviously about trans women in sport.
This may not immediately [ ]
But when you really think about it,
if someone is built like a [ ] house,
they can't run that fast!
If anyone can animate,
I would love to see something like this animated,
just showing the buff woman losing the race.
That would just make me really happy.
So, we're actually gonna finish on some videos.
We're gonna start off with this one video of Posey Parker.
Also goes by Kellie-Jay Keen.
She is probably one of the worst TERFs ever-
She's the leader of a big TERF movement.
She does these rallies or protests or whatever
where she gets a bunch of losers to stand around and be like:
"Women won't be silent
"in the face of trans women
"attacking our rights somehow.
"They are the problem,
"we're not just a little bit delusional".
She's currently touring the world embarrassing herself.
She made a video about me where she said that
I was trans because I have autism,
and I'm trans because my parents hate me
and send me to boarding school.
And she said my body was revolting.
General, just all-around sucky person,
but there are some very funny videos that come out
of the stuff she does, so...
- You're a man!
You're a big scary man.
"Fascist" is the new word for "Legend".
- So, when you're called a fascist,
maybe the solution is to just shout
at a general group of people and insult them by saying:
"You're a man".
Imagine being called a fascist because you team up with white nationalists,
white supremacists and also general right-wing losers,
and your only response is "you're a man!"
because that is genuinely the only thing she cares about.
She lives her entire life in face of trans people.
I've never seen somebody dedicate their life to something so pathetic,
but this is just a fat fail for me,
because her response doesn't even make sense.
So, this video that I'm about to show you
is genuinely the video that made me want to make this video.
It just really inspired me.
So, what you're about to see is a trans woman,
just sat, having a meal, probably in Cheesecake Factory.
She's just having a general one full-time.
She has her dog with her.
Just general sweet vibes.
Just nice, innocent vibes.
So, this is the thing,
and it kind of proves a general point that I feel like
a lot of trans people have been talking about anyway.
Transphobes love to push the narrative
that trans people are just sensitive,
they're angry, they're violent,
they're mentally unstable,
and what you see in this video is...
A trans woman just minding her business,
while some old ass lady comes up to her and is just like:
"You know I'm a TERF, by the way.
"What do you think about that?"
Also, she doesn't actually know what TERF stands for.
She just heard the word and she thought:
"Oh, those people hate trans people, me too!"
But what she's trying to do is provoke her,
and the lady in this video is doing an incredible job
of not being provoked.
Of just being like, "wow, lady. Okay".
No one, literally--
What's this woman doing?!
Sat, eating her food with her dog, and she's like:
"I hit hard.
"I hit hard, by the way.
"You don't like it--" Why?!
So, these people are so riled up.
Like, they're so heightened emotionally
that they don't even realize that what they're doing is insane.
Their entire ideology, their entire belief set
is based on a mischaracterization of what they think trans people are.
And they feel like they should be in the defense,
because they feel like they're under attack.
So much so that this lady saw a woman asking "which is?"
And was just like: "oh, she called me a witch.
"You called me a witch?
"I'm not a witch".
And as horrible as this is,
like, this is a terrible thing to happen.
It's interesting to see a clear example of this happening
because this happens all the time.
This happens everywhere.
Trans people are always a scapegoat.
Trans people are always the ones being picked on.
We're told that we're attacking other people's rights
when we just sat eating dinner in a Cheesecake Factory with our dog.
We're just minding our own business
and transphobes and TERFs have decided that they don't like us
for whatever reason.
It's just insane.
- What did the dog do?!
She's not in your life.
I've seen this video several times and it still irritates me.
You know what?
It sucks, I hate it, but I'm so glad that
this kind of thing is documented
because people don't realize that this is the kind of stuff that happens.
They'll see one video of a trans woman in GameStop
being repeatedly misgendered and laughed at
and obviously, getting a little bit angry about that
and think, "oh, trans people are insane".
This one trans person was angry because they were mistreated...
Trans people are insane.
People who have power see the advancements of rights
of people that historically haven't had power
and they see that as an attack.
It's the same thing that happened with racism
and it's still happening with racism,
where white people don't like that people that aren't white
have some kind of right
that they don't think that they should have.
Same thing that happened with homophobia
and is still happening with homophobia.
People think that gay people being able to be married
means that they're taking away something from their
"natural heterosexual marriage".
And it's happening with trans people.
Trans people being able to change their names,
trans people having access to Medical Care that they need,
trans women having access to women's bathrooms
because where else would they?
And trans men having access to men's bathrooms.
They feel that we're taking away something from them
because we are trying to have the same rights that they have.
Cis people are afforded gender affirming care
without having to speak to four psychiatrists
to make sure that, you know, you're making the right decision.
Like, if a cis woman wants to get a boob job,
she doesn't have to go through the same process
that a trans woman would have to do.
In which she has to outline her entire life story,
all of her trauma,
reasons that she thinks that
she should be able to have boobs as a woman.
Trans people literally have to convince cis doctors
that they are who they say they are,
and it's happening all around the world.
I mean like, even in the UK, if I wanted to get married right now
I would legally be married as a wife
because I don't have a gender recognition certificate.
If I want to get a gender recognition certificate,
I have to send them-- Jesus Christ, like,
all my medical records, letters from doctors saying,
"yeah, he's a guy, LOL",
and then a panel of complete strangers gets to decide
whether or not I deserve the right to be married as myself.
Trans people are not taking away anybody's rights
and I understand that change is scary,
but Jesus Christ...
Safe to say that was an absolute TERF fail.
I hope that lady got kicked out.
I hope that lady got banned.
I hope that was reported to the police,
but I doubt that it would be,
because, you know when that kind of stuff happens.
The outcome never really helps.
I've literally reported a hate crime myself and nothing happened.
I was attacked on a train by some guy that says
gay people should be shot and trans people too.
Anyway, this was supposed to be a light-hearted video.
I'm sorry it wasn't.
In the comments let me know
what is the most embarrassing thing you have ever seen a TERF say.
That's the end of the video!
Have a good day or don't.
See you later losers.
Goodbye.
