Well, it's never actually happened to me, personally, but that's because I heeded well the warnings I was given during the presentation that was mandatory for all those assigned to the male gender at birth to attend during university orientation. Attendance for womyn-born-womyn was optional.

For example, I was specifically warned to not ever be seen within 20 feet of any womyn-born-womyn after dark.

That worked out pretty well for me. I was also told that if I even thought about using the restroom of the gender I look like (female), I'd be expelled for attempted rape, and my transcript would be permanently sealed. I hadn't even asked if I'd be able to use the womyn-born-womyn bathroom! It was merely what the feminist club on campus assumed. I've never felt a compelling need to use a specific restroom, since I have no idea what the fuck is in the women's room that isn't in the men's room.

Rather than waste more money on a university that was obviously run by transphobic feminists, I dropped out. I only realized later that I probably had a pretty good Title IX lawsuit (focusing on the sexist orientation policy--far be it from me to attempt to press the bathroom issue these days), but only recently have I had the resources to even think about starting a lawsuit with a university. Oh well.

BUT! Why the fuck did I just try to communicate something to you? Am I fucking stupid? Yes, I must be fucking stupid. Let me FTFY!

And you'd know, wouldn't you, seeing as how it's ALWAYS one of you gaslighting asshole managers or a fucker in a CxO position who is DOING the sexual harassment!

Scrolling through the comments. Just wow.

Looks like we've got a bunch of boys over here giving feminism and the misogynerd narrative plenty of ammo by freely admitting that they're unable to control their own urges.

Additionally, the little boys over here seem to be more than willing to allow feminism and the media to frame the narrative such that these sexual harassers are technologists in technical careers.

Fail.

Ah yeah. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to those things, so I didn't mean to give the impression I thought the electoral college was a bad idea. Besides being in a demographic that's supposed to make me beholden to the D team, Hillary was the first time I voted for either an R or a D for POTUS. I usually go Libertarian.

What I'd meant to express was that all this whinging about the electoral college is bullcrap. I don't think Hillary even showed up once to campaign in my state, which went to Sanders in the primary.

Well, the DNC sure didn't help Sanders. Locking his campaign out of fundraising data it should have had access to for a few days there was lovely. What other internal politics didn't we hear about that contributed to the Coronation? I also wonder who decided to sick #BLM on Sanders?

Also, this bullcrap about the electoral college. Seems to me that states where Sanders won flopped and went for Trump. I don't think the DNC or Hillary's campaign were correctly playing the electoral college game.

In the end, I voted for Hillary as well.

<sarcasm>
I think that problem is that America just isn't ready for a Lizard Person-American as president yet. There are a lot of things that people don't understand very well about the lizard people, and I initially had some of the same misapprehensions when I voted for Sanders in the primary. For example, Hillary is a natural born citizen just like you or me, even if she's of Thubani heritage. That's one of the things that makes America great, imo. Whether one's ancestors are from thousands of miles away across an ocean or hundreds of light years away across a star ocean, we're all Americans together.

To paraphrase Chancellor Gorkon, I see that our two species have a long way to go.
</sarcasm>

That makes it make sense.

It also demonstrates how the misogynerd narrative works.

Nobody wants to actually address the problems of sexual harassment, if there are any. What it's about is dragging an entire gender caste in a certain profession through the mud in the press repeatedly.

Feminism is at best a group of trolls, and the misogynerd narrative is trolling. At worst, feminism is a hate group based on its behavior towards trans women, but as concerns the general charge of sexual harassment against an entire gender caste, it's trolling.

(Why gender caste? Because feminism believes that we live in a caste system like in India, where one's station in life is determined at birth according to the letter they put on one's birth certificate. At its core, it's artificial and has really nothing to do with gender or body parts in a physiological sense at all. I suppose I might as well just call it the feminist caste system. I should also mention it's predicated on the idea that gender is merely a social construct, which is demonstrably false.)

Of course, the end goal of all that is to drive down wages and cement the impression in the mind of the general public that anybody can code the same as anybody can flip burgers.

Then why don't you do something about SV, jackass? SV isn't the whole tech sector.

You know that I have been specifically denied opportunities because of my assigned gender at birth? Let me guess, that's not sexism because it's impossible to be sexist against assigned males. I've been sexually harassed. Let me guess, not sexism because it's impossible to sexually harass an assigned male?

What about molestation? I've been molested by a womyn-born-womyn. Let me guess, my own feelings of being violated don't count because you're a horny cisgendered heterosexual dipshit who thinks that all assigned males are as shitty of a person as you are.

You believe that every womyn-born-womyn who has attempted to do my job has failed because I'm part of some crazy conspiracy of half the planet's population to exclude them from programming careers, huh? Do you also buy into the bathroom rape theory? Do you think I'm out there using my advanced infiltrator transsexual capabilities to invade the women's restroom and rape them?

It's never occurred to you that programming is actually difficult. All assigned males in the whole world except for you and you alone (as the One Good Man) are conspiring against womyn-born-womyn, huh?

Bet you don't even realize that trans men exist, do you? Yeah, that's right, one of your "Hunnies" (as you undoubtedly think of them) might undergo gender transition and live as a man. I'll bet you didn't even think of that. What would you even do? Would you finally admit that somebody assigned the female gender at birth who transitions to living as a man doesn't need your help? How does that play out in your world? Does that person become a rapist the second they begin testosterone HRT? Or didn't you even think that was possible?

Womyn-born-womyn are merely sexual objects to you, aren't they? Womyn-born-womyn are all helpless princesses in another castle that need you to ride in on a white horse to save them from evil bathroom invaders like me, huh? They're not individuals with hopes and dreams and challenges to you, are they? And let me guess,

- lesbians exist solely for your sexual pleasure too
- gay men are by definition misogynists because they don't date women
- trans women are metaphysical rapists with woman suits who are lurking in every bathroom just waiting to rape one of your "Hunnies"
- trans men don't exist, amirite? Gender transition is just something for mentally ill assigned males. The pure, virginal womyn-born-womyn princess you worship would never do something like eschew being sex objects for you to live as men. Doesn't even exist in your world, does it?

People like you really, really get under my skin. You do realize that assholes like you are no different from the assholes at Uber? You just wave a different flag.

What, were landlines free for you fuckers?

Aren't you just a little snowflake? I see you're all about getting handouts and participation awards. Your sense of entitlement to other people's hard work is disgusting.

If I can buy a house without needing my hand held, anybody can do it except for pussies like you apparently. Snowflakes like you don't understand the value of hard work and sacrifice. It's all about safe spaces, isn't it? Can't get your pwecious little feelings hurt when the man in the bank says you need a down payment. Gotta run home to mommy and daddy like a pussy.

tl;dr I should have used sarcasm tags. I forget this place is like the big city. I'm more used to the red site now which is like a small town where everybody knows everybody else. And now the part that's too long:

Well, I did miss the MWMF closing down at first I admit, being (basically) a trans woman (with complications thanks to TERFs) who would point to MWMF as proof that all feminism is trans-exclusionary but not giving enough of a shit to actually join Camp Trans (learned about that from a trans woman I met at tech convention). BarbaraHudson did fill me in after MWMF had to shut down when I used to post here more. Mostly I post to the red site these days where some of my posts are even serious! (Though increasingly as AC when I'm not posting about something that'll immediately give me away.)

I forget if that was before or after I scrambled the password to my old UID on both sites. Haha, nearly had a change of heart there about feminism (thank you AmiMoJo, BarbaraHudson, and Azuma Hazuki for at least attempting to get through my thick skull), but then some local TERFeminists (I suspect but cannot prove, events were just too weird to be random chance) gave me a smack down that wound up forcing me to drive a 300 mile round trip to see a doctor over something THAT OBAMACARE DID! Argh!!!eleven!1!

These days I've said essentially "fuck it." I'm not certain that TERFs actually are a minority voice in feminism, and I'm certain they're not a minority in my neck of the woods! I understand that transfeminism is a thing, but... I've just been put through too much shit because of the misogynerd narrative (was interesting because it was before gamers were dead and misogynerd came into usage), because of rape culture, because of you-name-it. You can stitch it together based on my posts on the red site.

If all feminists were like the three that I named in this post that at least proved to me that not all feminists are TERFs (and then... only one has the fucking status to say that as a feminist, sorry to the other two, and even then I don't know that. On the internet, nobody knows you're a T-900 advanced infiltrator from the post-apocalyptic future!), I would probably be a feminist. Unfortunately, they're not. The misogynerd narrative has gotten so ridiculous, especially the personal shit it's caused me, that I'm going to be lucky if I don't find out in a month's time from now that I'm also transphobic and homophobic in addition to being a misogynist.

Yep, I'm a certified misogynist according to one TERF I still see on a daily basis solely because of my assigned gender at birth. Because of a fucking letter on a fucking legal document that may or may not even be the current fucking legal document I'd pull out if you asked me to. It's all my fault (hence the collective and several part of my other post) that there are no womyn-born-womyn programmers, that compilers emit error messages, and fucking Garbage In Garbage Out is all my fault.

Yep, that's right! Garbage In Garbage Out is the fault of all assigned males (including trans women) EVEN THOUGH LOVELACE HERSELF FIRST PUT FORWARD THE NOTION (in her Notes)!!!!!eleven!1! Argh!!eleven!

They don't even fucking comprehend her Notes, and they have the arrogance to proclaim that command lines and compilers themselves are tools of the patriarchy specifically designed by assigned males to be inaccessible to womyn-born-womyn!! TERFeminists can get fucked. No, they can get raped for all I care. Not just because of the misery they've caused me, not just because of the misery they've caused all trans women, but because they and their fucking misogynerd narrative and their insistence that "coding" is "easy" (did not read the other article on that subject) or would be if not for some grand conspiracy... they are the ones most directly responsible for the lack of women programmers (note the lack of "y"s in that word) by creating unrealistic expectations about the technology itself.

AND IF THEY'D BACK OFF THEIR FUCKING TRANSPHOBIA, THERE WOULD BE MORE WOMEN PROGRAMMERS! They'd just have to fucking accept that some of us were assigned the male gender at birth, back down with their fucking bathroom laws and other bullshit... and yeah.

And just to cover my ass, yes, I've reported sexual harassment at work when I watched it happen to a womyn-born-womyn. Of course I report that shit. Sexual harassment is NOT COOL, and guys who do it are lucky there are policies in place and procedures to follow because otherwise I'd just shove some transgender meds down their sexually harassing throat and chemically castrate the sexual harassers. But guess who's doing all the sexual harassment! Gaslighting asshole managers, not techs!

Anyway, I'm just blowing off steam, so there you go.

Not nearly good enough, you misogynerds! It's all the fault, collectively and severally, of you inferior beings who can't give birth to a child that there are no womyn-born-womyn in tech careers!

Nothing is good enough until the womyn-born-womyn programmers start precipitating out of the æther!

Go feminism!

I'm disappointed, grrls! You can do better than this! I count only 7 mentions of "Bradley" in the comments and 21 mentions of "confuse" in 302 comments.

Show those misogynerds that Bradley is a man with a mental illness no matter how confused he is. He needs psychiatric treatment, not to have his body butchered in an attempt to rape the female form. Drive it home to this rapist that he's an incomplete being and never will be a womyn-born-womyn no matter how delusional he expects the rest of us to be.

Folks on the red site thought I was trolling when I said that feminism considers cannabis flower a date rape drug.

Once again we have the Misogynerd Narrative in full swing, and this time it's working not only to trivialize the skills necessary to program a computer but to demonize cannabis flower.

Feminism: you have blood on your hands if you join forces with Jeff Sessions on this one. But of course you don't care, do you feminism? If it works to oppress black women, that's just fine with you. If it takes medicine out of the hands of people who need it, you've already demonstrated with trans women that's fine with you.

If I may paraphrase Azetbur: "Feminism." Why, the very name is sexist. Feminism is no more than a white upper class cisgendered woman only club.

You're correct. That would be the fruits of 30 years of effort on the part of feminism paying off and making you think that people who are transgendered are guys who want to rape women in the bathroom.

So...

Why then do so many guys get so upset when I need to take a piss and head into the men's room?

I spent the first 20 years of my life as a guy, so I think I know the correct etiquette in the men's room. This is not a problem my actions are causing. This is a problem that is caused because I just simply fucking look like a woman.

Yeah, dude looks like a lady. And I don't mean just long hair. I mean cleavage. I mean my face. I mean body language.

It's no longer about how feminists intimidated and threatened me in college. I refuse to feel bad any more when I make a man uncomfortable when I'm in the men's room.

YOU CAN GO TO HELL WHEN I AM USING THE BATHROOM YOU YOURSELVES DEMAND I USE.

Never judge a book by it's cover
Or who you gonna love by your lover
Sayin' love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus, Lord imagine my surprise.

Slight nitpick before I launch into crazy mode: You jumbled some letters in bowdlerization (redirects to that page).

Just for the peanut gallery:

The puritans have been at this for a while, and they're not going to stop any time soon. The real world is not childproof. etc etc. If anything, I would fault the Abrahamic religions with this. Political Correctness really is just an extension of puritanism, Victorianism, etc. That's how I really feel anyway.

Crazy mode engage!

You're behind the times, you LUDDITE! We freak out about transSEXuals now! They're editing everything so that nobody is allowed to identify within the gender dichotomy! All pronouns are being replaced with zie and zem and zhey! It's the end of the world! Your daughters are being raped in the bathroom by transgendered Illuminati lizard people!
