A Man Attacks Other Men Over Alleged ‘Transphobia’ At A Furry Convention
Yet another elephant in the room



Tweeted on October 5, 2022, a clip begins with a white male in a wheelchair yelling “FAGGOT,” followed by “And you know what? I SUCK DICK FOR COCK.” Of course, the man yelling “faggot” at other men declares himself a “woman,” in case there may be any surprise. There are furries standing around him, including one man dressed as an elephant, whom I hear is his partner—go figure. To the onlookers, the long-haired man in a dress repeats himself: “I SUCK DICK FOR COCK.” When he initiates a physical altercation, like the male monkey dance, and he falls down with his wheelchair, he says: “PRESSING CHARGES! PRESSING CHARGES! PRESSING CHARGES! PRESSING CHARGES!”
Although indeed he “started it,” to him, he must always be the primary victim of violence, either real or imagined—but, of course, mostly fantasy. He invokes being “trans” and “disabled” for leverage: “You attack disabled trans people—person—you piece of shit.” Then he continues screaming. “YOU SHOULD GET BANNED!” he yells. “COME AND GET ME, BITCH!” to another man. Scooting his ass around on the ground, like a dog with worms, he calls the other man he pursues a “faggot.”
Mr. Elephant does a facepalm, clearly embarrassed by such “ladylike” behavior from his partner going bananas.
A clip taken earlier, preceding him saying “I SUCK DICK FOR COCK,” shows the man yelling slurs and obscenities in a public space. In the video, this white male in a wheelchair says:
They don’t give a shit about marginalized people or disabled people here, because they’re BIGOTED. I’m a Title IX minority. You have a fucking problem? YOU DON’T SAY SHIT TO ME. Yeah, well… FUCK THEM! FUCK FC, YOU ABLEIST PIECES OF SHIT, YOU BIGOTED, TRANSPHOBIC PIECES OF SHIT! FUCK YOU! BRING IT HOME, SCARED BITCHES! TAKE THE VEIL DOWN! THIS IS YOUR FANDOM, YOU PIECES OF SHIT! SHUT UP, BITCH! YEAH, FUCK YOU, YOU WHITE CISGENDER PIECE OF SHIT! FUCK YOU! YOU’RE WHAT MAKES THE FANDOM MISERABLE. YEAH, THAT’S BECAUSE YOU’RE NOTHING BUT PIECES OF SHIT! Yeah. FILM ME ALL YOU WANT, MOTHERFUCKER! Come here, come here. I pay taxes. My name is Ripley [unintelligible]. Come and get me, motherfucker. Fuck you. Come and get me! Come and get me, bitch! Come and get me, bitch! Come and get me, bitch! This is a public park. None of you have the right to throw me out. AND YOU HATEFUL—YEAH, FOUR PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME TO GO HOME! YOU HATE TRANS PEOPLE! YOU HATE DISABLED PEOPLE! Film me on TikTok, motherfucker! You’re a FAGGOT—and you know what? I SUCK DICK FOR COCK.
Now, I know what you may be thinking: “What a strong woman!” I am just kidding. Clearly, we have a man whose purported “transition” has done nothing positive for his mental health—least of all make him a woman. I do not know any other minority that consists of as many entitled, largely white, if not also heterosexual—or even pseudobisexual—men who fetishize oppression and use it as leverage to manipulate others. Nor do I know of another modern “social justice” movement that habitually weaponizes sexuality to harass and batter other people, especially women, into submission. It may be telling as well that this man does not know what Title IX even is—and that, in reality, it has nothing to do with his rant.
We see, too, that “inclusion” becomes imperative, even when the man—and it often is a man—has become extremely belligerent. He can yell “faggot” at crowds of people, among other fighting words, and still proclaim his victim status. Thus, the man intruding upon others, dominating public space as his, has weaponized public sympathies for his alleged “plight.”
Feminists have long remarked on the dynamic of inclusion as intrusion. As Genevieve Gluck puts it: “What is called ‘inclusive’ for men is intrusive for women.” It may be additionally considered how the man, despite “transition,” clearly has not unlearned aggressive, dominant, and violent otherwise distinctively male patterns of behavior. One needs to only consider his persisting masculine socialization with his physiological build and strength over any unfortunate woman who objects to his dominion.
Watching the above videos, one brief moment may be overlooked: a woman saying “I’m so sorry this happened to you.” She has just heard this man, a kind of minstrel as a way of life, yelling “bitch” and “faggot” at other men—and still feels she must have sympathy for him. Women have been peculiarly indoctrinated to believe men like this one have it far worse than women. Part of this narrative has been due to the myth of the wrong body, which has been helpful in manipulating others’ emotions. Additionally, these men have exploited women as perceived “caregivers”—“the second sex” as “the support-human sex.”
So, yes, the above case may be quite bizarre, with furries and a man screaming “I suck dick for cock” while yelling “faggot” at other men. Nevertheless, I think it connects to important problems in the dogma of “trans women are women.” Cases of men who declare themselves “women” committing violence occur—and such men’s criminality overwhelmingly follows a distinctly male pattern. However, this reality has been consistently denied by trans activists. But we need to question why it makes sense to give these men an unquestioned right to women’s spaces. Are women regarded as that expendable, only existing for some men’s greater comfort and pleasure? I wish it were not this way. Moreover, cases like the one above may lead us to ask whether or not people with underlying mental health problems have been best served by social and medical “transition.” There seems to be a strong possibility that, as other issues remain untreated, “transition” and its accompanying health problems could intensify mental distress and exaggerate harmful behaviors.
