Nancy Mace uses repeated t slurs on house floor

( velvetpaws )
Personally I'm a fan of the trans + goon "t slur", but to each her own!

( Cattitude )
That was my favourite, too.

And none, none, of these supposed slurs carry any real weight. Women expressing contempt for men is not a threat except to their egos.

I think Nancy Mace's supposed "rudeness" is exactly what's needed. The whole trans and gender identity supremacy movement is about men controlling and dominating women, defining us out of out legal existence, stealing our identities, colonizing our spaces, taking away our hard-won rights, denying our experiences, beating the shit out of us in our own category of sports, robbing us of privacy and dignity, pushing us aside, lording it over us, bullying us by making up misogynistic rules, making it verboten for women and girls speak the truth, constantly telling us to STFU and sit down, and shaming us into silence.

BTW, people who considere themselves part of the "trans community" use the T word that rhymes with canny all the time.

TIMs use all sorts of dehumanizing slurs for women - vagina havers, cervix owners, menstuators, non-men, birthing people, birthing bodies, bleeders. They describe us and our bodies in the most demeaning terms imaginable. Yet we're not allowed to say anything that causes them offense or ruffles their feathers. It's just another case of the same-old double standards.

In fact, Mace uttered the naughty words in a House committee room. I believe this happened during a meeting of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Seriously though, adding “-y” to a noun is like the most toothless slur ever. The worst slurs I can think of off the top of my head end in menacing-sounding consonants like “-t”, “-r”, and “-k” (phonetically, I know there is an e at the end of a particular anti-Semitic slur and also a lesbian one.) The “-y” suffix (outside of obligatory adverbs)usually turns a noun into an adjective (ie “bready”, “sandy”, ”cloudy”) or makes a word sound cuter (see “baby”, “mommy”, “girly,” “dressy”, etc.)
