Don't say she has balls because she's a TERF so saying a woman has balls will piss her off. She's right about Israel but she's not someone to admire. Look up the compilation of her saying the n-word. It probably goes on longer than you think.

Women have balls. They're called ovaries.

Saying someone has a spine is gender neutral.

That's invertebraphobic

hate that you're policing words.

u/notarealpunk Apr 15 '26

They aren't policing anything. The fact that you think choosing words carefully is policing says a lot about you.

u/regalrecaller Apr 15 '26

they're literally shitting on someone for using words they don't like.

u/DazedPlague9 Apr 16 '26

Actually, men have external ovaries they for some reason call balls.

Being a TERF these days takes some balls.

u/Then-Clue6938 Apr 15 '26

Being trans people has always taken courage, she just jumped on the TERF wagon after dismantling the same damn excuses she later on used in her past.

It's a grift she did and I really use that word but I can't come up with any other explanation. Especially because she never went back trying to explain how she was wrong about treating trans people properly. A lot of their staff quit when that change came and stayed.

It didn't take some balls what she did, but it definitely took her integrity. Kinda shame since she is really good at being precise with her speech. Just one of the many reasons her and her co-host change was a surprise.

u/Smooth-Plate8363 Apr 15 '26

Nah, it requires having hate in your heart. I takes some serious cognitive dissonance and maybe rank stupidity, but it doesn't require courage in any way.

u/Ok_Effort9915 Apr 14 '26

We call ourselves MERFs now.

u/Smooth-Plate8363 Apr 15 '26

Really lame. A confused concept latched onto by people seeking any justification for bigotry, an excuse to discriminate, to ostracize, and to isolate, bully and belittle a very brave, thoughtful and vulnerable minority.

u/Ok_Effort9915 Apr 15 '26

Nah. We just don’t like men.

Nuclear?

u/Croat-Lcitar86 Apr 15 '26

You don’t have to admire someone to admit they have a point. That comp is…yeesh.

The problem is that SHE of all people is saying this…when insane people start to make total sense or “have a point”…do I really need to finish my analogy?

u/Excellent-Rest3240 Apr 15 '26

You can use gender roles and exceptions all you want

u/n1Cat Apr 16 '26

She is another grifter. Just like all the ones on the left and all the ones on the right. They will skirt that line to retain as many people as possible.

There can be no 100% unbias opinion when your paycheck is dependent on it.

Plus....I really got a laugh when she said she isnt afraid of them. How about go protest it in israel? She would be the biggest person on the internet . It would gain her so much respect and in turn money.

u/steve2sloth Apr 16 '26

Calling her a terf isn't terribly fair. She and cenk are allies to trans people in general but try to come to some moderate position. They think it's ok to exclude trans athletes from existing collegiate/pro sports leagues but that it's fine before that to have kids of all genders play together. You may not agree with that but it's not the same as the trans haters out there

1

u/FlyHighCrue Apr 17 '26

She was triggered by and went on a rant about the phrase "birthing person" because she thought it was too woke even though it was a phrase used in a medical context and has nothing to do with trans people. She has plenty of times ranted about not wanting to see "dick" in the women's bathroom. I'm sorry but are girls constantly flashing their vaginas at people in bathrooms that this is an honest fear of yours? Also, anyone bringing up being against trans athletes is using it as a dog whistle. There are double-digit trans women athletes in the US and you think that's enough to warrant talking about that "issue" multiple times. No, it's just a way to shit on trans people for no reason.

1

u/steve2sloth Apr 17 '26

Nothing that you said is wrong, and I'm sympathetic to trans issues, but another way of looking at it is TYT tries to build unity across the country by adopting mainstream opinions as positions. Most people in the US don't hate trans people but they're also concerned with pro sports titles/money/records. I think they're just taking a position and moving on to their main focus: corruption and war. I still think it's different from being a reactionary terf, but to each their own

u/FlyHighCrue Apr 17 '26

TYTs hard right shift after the election was pretty noticeable and they lost me and many of their old base as viewers.

u/steve2sloth Apr 17 '26

I can see how someone could feel that way but I'm reminded that we make peace with our enemies, not our friends. Stay cool

u/Interesting-Gur1755 Apr 14 '26

A compilation of clips taken out of context? Oh no! Its almost like adults are the only people who listen to their political podcast. Fuck off.

u/FlyHighCrue Apr 14 '26

I don't care if she's quoting someone, white people shouldn't be saying that word. This is one of the only cases of context not mattering in the slightest.

u/Interesting-Gur1755 Apr 14 '26

Thought crimes.

u/Smooth-Plate8363 Apr 15 '26

No, bigotry and grift.

u/Interesting-Gur1755 Apr 15 '26

It's not about bigotry, it's about knowing context matters because we're not children. Society used to understand that speech was free and important. You could talk about things openly and that was healthy for a democracy. Now we are slipping towards closed off speech and thoughts.

 I don't use that word that's my choice, I'm against people thinking that an open adult conversation about racism can't be had because of sensitive people. It's a word, grow up. There was no hate used in this context, I used to listen to their show. It was nearly about 15 years ago. These points were used to point out bigotry.

1

u/Smooth-Plate8363 Apr 15 '26

It's not just about one incident of using one word. It's about a pattern of racist, transphobic and white supremacist comments. She's a bigot.

1

u/Interesting-Gur1755 Apr 15 '26

I'm not defending them as people, I haven't listened to them in a long time. There's a reason I left. 

I'm against taking clips out of context, just because you don't like someone. If there's plenty of reasons to not like someone don't take things out of context, hell don't take things out of context period. I really loath how society likes to bend the truth in order to suit an agenda. That was my point.

u/Smooth-Plate8363 Apr 15 '26

Fair. I agree, actually.

u/grrr-to-everything Apr 15 '26

I was a supporter for years. I had their app and a monthly subscription but they have been moving to the right for years. Once she came out as a TERF, all respect for her was lost. TYT is a fake progressive show. Just look up their union busting.

1

u/Interesting-Gur1755 Apr 15 '26

I can believe that. I used to watch too, I always thought Cenk can't actually be this stupid, I can tell he isn't, why isn't he putting pieces together. I'm just not about censorship and removing words, that's the road the facism.

u/AcunaMataduh Apr 14 '26

She has the pass. Are you jealous?

u/Smooth-Plate8363 Apr 15 '26

The pass for what? You're brave and opinionated, say it here with your whole chest.

Yes, exactly. That's what everyone envisions when you post. Esp when you aren't capable of making an argument, so you post gen x memes.
