Radical Feminist Identification Tools

Why did you analyze my post?

Yazminx, D-Diamond, or one of our friends or followers saw your post on their dash, recognized it as a series of dogwhistles for radical feminist politics, and wanted to make a public statement explaining the dogwhistles, how we recognized them, and why they’re dangerous. 🐶

What’s with all the receipts, is this some kind of callout?

Nah, callout culture is a waste of everyone’s time. The links to posts on the OP and/or commenter’s blog exist to show that the poster either is openly a radical feminist, or is a radical feminist operating under a limited guise of deniability. 🆗🆒

What’s a dogwhistle? What’s radical feminism? How is it different from other kinds of feminism?

A dogwhistle is a seemingly harmless phrase or concept that is used to make bigotry more palatable, and easier to spread through people who would normally not spread a bigotted message. More information here.

Radical feminism is a modern mutation on the second wave of feminism (1960-1985, approximately). More information here.

It differentiates itself from other forms of feminism based on both its goals and the methodology it uses to achieve them. More information here.

Am I a bad person for not recognizing the dogwhistles?

Of course not. 🐩

The entire point of the fuckers is to be subtle enough to bypass your conscious recognition. Without extensive training in identifying the fallacies and coded language used by radical feminists- and other reactionary groups of course- you cannot possibly be expected to catch them. That’s on purpose. 

But shit, we wouldn’t exactly be revolutionaries if we didn’t offer the training to anyone who wants it. 🕵

Who the fuck are you?

Some trans sex workers who got really tired of the unchecked spread of radical feminist ideology in plausibly deniable formats. ⛔🚫

And no, obviously, our mod names are neither our real names or our stage names.  

Who can follow you? Do you have any DNIs or BYFs?

If you aren’t welcome here, we’ll block you. If you’re not blocked, then presumably you’re welcome. It’s a public website, after all. 👍🏽

Where can I find a list of all the dogwhistle ID posts?

In the “RFID Scanning” tag.

Why do you post your hatemail? / Why do you treat valid criticisms as hatemail?

Because without the ability to make light of the deep seated hatred that feeds people’s ignorance about our lives and the lives of people like us, we would probably all be dead. 🎊🎉

Why did you treat my question like hatemail? It was genuine!

We get a lot of hatemail. In the order of dozens a day. If your question was sent alongside unrelated hatemail, this can make your question look like it is “bait,” or a bad faith question asked to try to egg a mod into saying something you can use as “proof” that we’re “bad people.”

Simply resend your question with something like, “I meant it,” or, “I’m not trolling.” 🙈

Unblock me!

No.

Who the fuck do y'all think you are?

Yazminx: Anarcho-whore; Polychromatic glitter entity; Changes passwords every 3 months. Any pronouns.

D-Diamond: Raised by lesbians in the woods; Has physically transcended the need for pronouns; All natural but not by choice. Any pronouns.

Asstral Projection: Maybe it’s dissociation, maybe it’s Maybelline; Certified midnight madgic; Why are there no good stereotypes about Sagittariuses? They/them.

Domminia: As tall as she is loquacious (very); Has better hair than you; Didn’t ask for your opinion and is better at explaining it than you were anyway. They/she.

What’s your opinion on __________?

Does ________ necessitate harming others? If yes, we don’t like it. If no, we’re either positive or neutral about it. For example, does capitalism necessitate harming others? Yes. Therefore, we disapprove of capitalism. Does being trans necessitate harming others? No. Therefore, we approve of transness.

I have followup questions?

Send ‘em in. We’re pretty good at separating the bait from the requests, and we’ll do our best to follow through for you. 💋
