There was a suprise livestream by Karen Davis last night (well I am now a couple of days on). She only went and hosted Exulansic for God's sake!!! GRAZE BE š. Ok it was in the early hours of what fucking time is this in the morning for me, but as Benji Boyce calls us, (his words not mine), Karen's Cunty Army were well chuffed š
I haven't fully processed this yet as it was nearing 3am when it finished, but some very interesting points were raised about:
Women being targeted and losing part of their income;
Some men being able to go on about backhanders and women getting black eyes in retaliation with no consequences;
How you may as well shout out your truth if they are going to cancel you anyway, and;
How when you find yourself in that position, it is crucial that you tell the truth.
When you are being told that it is external appearances, or it is phenotypes, that determine what a woman is, you basically need to scream NO from the roof tops. This is a lesson I learned, as I initially thought CAIS was such a fringe issue it wasn't worth brewing up a storm over. I was wrong. If sex is indeed binary, you need an impenetrable barrier between the categories male and female. A compelling, though not a scientifically complex argument, that I came came across in a thread, (sorry I canāt find it now to acknowledge the author) said the definition of CAIS man as a women is inherently sexist. The argument was, given the reproductive system of females is largely internal, any differences are just ignored when arguing CIAS males have āfemale bodiesā. This could not be done if the genitalia were external.
Whatever the pros and cons of this discussion, and views on whether not it should have been had at all, we see two very different women supporting each other against a hoard of vindictive people, who donāt want to see them flourish. That is the thing that is sublime in my book.
Now that brings me on to the ridculous. For this I am venturing into the universe of cognitive dissonance, commonly known as The Mess Weāre In.
Sub-muse
Before I get into the main topic, I am going to muse on my own internal struggle regarding why the hell I keep watching, when it winds me up so much? I have noticed fewer and fewer people I recognise in the chat, which leads me to believe a number of them have got this one sussed ahead of me.
Excuse number 1.
I used to think Graham and Arty were totally on Gender Critical womenās sideā¦after all Graham lost his career by speaking out! I no longer believe Arty is, especially after seeing his attacks on people such as Joey Brite, Karen Davis and the Trans Widows group. Long and very laborious story, so I will leave it thereā¦just look into his response to Joeyās Four Horsemen of the Gender Critical Apocalypse for a flavour of it. I could see that Graham often didnāt get it, but he was open about not getting it, and said he was working on getting it. His defence of Artyās numerous faux pas and his heart wrenching video about how he had struggled so hard to vindicate Arty, without showing the world he really just doesnāt want to get it, so would throw Karen Davis..and any one who ever invoked her into the Universe of Cognitive Dissonanceā¦to the wolves told me better (a bit of creative paraphrasing there).
Excuse number 2
He manages to hoover up every artical on gender critical matters in the UK, and presents them conveniently in his Substack newsletters and, on a decreasing number of occasions, discusses them in his videos. Much more could be said, but Iāll leave it at that.
Excuse number 3
Sometimes he just gets it:
Despite my reservations, I think Linehan does some useful work. I would still defend him against TRA attacks anyday.
Sub-muse ends
You know it isnāt going to end well when you are watching a video about womenās rights, with 4 male faces and 1 female face staring out at you. For one thing it isnāt good optics and that type of staring out can beā¦well, stirring.
Bottom right, using the bulk of his brain power staring out and smirking at the same time, is one Aaron Rabinowitz. Not being a devotee of what seems to be a first glance, the intellectual mutual mastabation world of The Skeptic, I had to look him up. It was confusing as Convention Athiests 2022 describe him as a PhD student at Rutgers Graduate School:
Aaron Rabinowitz is a PhD student in the Rutgers Graduate School of Education. He specializes in secular moral education and is currently developing a pedagogy focused on the pervasiveness of luck. Aaron hosts two philosophy podcasts: Embrace the Void (@ETVPod) and Philosophers in Space (@0gPhilosophy). The goal of both shows is to make philosophy more accessible for listeners without a philosophy background.
While his own group at The Skeptic describe him as a university lecturer at Rutgers University.
https://www.skeptic.org.uk/author/aaronrabinowitz/
Anyway, he identifies himself (yes, honestly. I am not joking) as a philosopher, and as you see above, hosts a couple of podcasts.
He needs to study the pervasiveness of his own luck, because there he was, a TRA in all his glory, given a platform with four attendent gender critical ānamesā trying, and failing miserably, to debate him. His smirk showed he thought all his Christmases had come at once. What did we find out from this legendā¦sorry, leg-end Aaron? Well:
Like Intersex truther, he likes using the phrase gish-galloping a lot. A lot more than Intersex Trutherā¦but he spared us a gish-galloping song at least.
Jennifer Bilek is anti-semiticā¦ becauseā¦.So is anyone who invokes her into any type of universe, but he is not saying that they are anti-semitic just they are (something about) Jennifer Bilek who isā¦including Helen Joyce
Trans people are victims of a moral panic and have never hurt anyone everā¦.and women are fān stupid (well slightly paraphrasing there)
Liar Thomas should swim on the womenās team because he is a woman and while Aaron had no idea Liar showed his parts in their changing room, he fully considered the matter from all angles for a full 2 seconds and decided that it was OK for him to walk around naked flashing his bits at whoever in likes in there without concent.
Helen uses thought terminating cliches ācos a lot of TRAs on Twitter said so (OK I made that last bit up)
And did I mentionā¦Jennifer Bilek?
To top it off, justifying our community to Brainic here, Graham defiantly told this TRA bloke that we are not against trans people because Blaire White!! and Rose of Dawn !! were on our side šØ. You know your gender critical world is safe and sound with that sort of reasoning. Go hang those pesky women on their purity spirals who donāt call Buck Angel he and see her for the child saving pornographer, and moral leader she is.
Needless to say I thought I had actually been transported to another universe at this point. Then, though not naming me directly, I got told off for commenting we shouldnāt be wasting our time on this insulting crap, and asking when is he going to have some good guests on ??? It was clear that Graham and I donāt share the same sensibilities.
It makes sense that you cannot have a sexual binary without a dividing lineā¦but in the alternate universe, where Blair White is an ally and we justify ourselves to sneering post-grads who donāt give a toss what we say, where a woman can be a he but not a manā¦because she is a friend of Graham and Artyā¦the normal rules donāt apply.
If you take just one thing away from all this, rememberā¦never invoke Jennifer Bilek (or any view that you may share), even 20 times removed, into any type of universe, if you want to keep on the right side of some pretentious TRA student.
And rememberā¦.stay sane ladies š

Scroll down for Artyās responses
It's just got worse. Intersex Truther is now on the latest Mess video comment thread, spouting shite and getting likes yet GC feminists and being told they are on a purity spiral and stfu. Graham giving into Arty has given scrote and his mates a new home
This was great summery of what happened. The constant smirking and his āyāallā were so annoying. Heās not even a southerner, so the āyāallā was forced. Iāve never heard an American with his accent use āyāallā. Not without some kind of put on. So contrived. I found him so smug and just throwing darvo. Jennifer Bilek. Oh no, I wrote her name. I must be an anti semite. Best give him my friendsā numbers and a couple of exes to let them know, Iām actually a hateful bigot.
