Edit: who the fuck censors 'cock'?! I'm leaving my original comment below because it highlights how unhelpful censoring words is for discussion. The actual word he said was 'cock', not what I guessed - which makes some of what i said below not make sense, but doesn't actually make his statement less transphobic.


(Apologies in advance to anyone who does not like to read the 'c-word', perhaps skip my comment if this is you)

What does that last part even mean, in context of his clarifying statement, or 'as a joke'? Maybe I am just not getting it.

“I support all human rights and trans rights are human rights. Live your best life. Use your preferred pronoun.”

“But meet me halfway, [trans] ladies. Lose the cunt. That’s all I’m saying.”

If post-OP trans women had surgery to change their body back to not having a 'cunt' they'd be back to having body dysmorphia, which misunderstands their primary malady. Its also said so frivolously - as though trans bottom-surgery is a minor op you can just change your mind on at whim. It completly undercuts his former comments of support.

As far as I can see the joke is that he doesn't really support trans rights and he's just 'saying the things you have to say now' with a wink to his audience, and then clarifying that he's not really an ally, fuck em lol. That's the 'joke', right?

I'm guessing the word is actually cock/cocks.

Either way yikes.

I didn't even consider cock.. What kind of puritan wowser censors 'cock', and do they also write "the c*** crowed in the morning".

TERF island gonna puritan

I'm guessing the writer copied and pasted the quotes from a British article.

and i was confused about the c*** censored version. I thought losing their cock is just what trans women generally want to (or did). Thanks for spelling it out, but now I'm even more confused.

[–] pulsewidth@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

I made the wrong assumption too, because losing a cock is generally the major goal of trans women.. So it made no sense to me and I presumed cunt as it would be more logical to censor.

I looked up the original now and confirmed It is 'cock', so I went off on somewhat of a tangent..
