đđđđ Oh ffs. How many times have these silly troons made effigyâs of women? Quite a few. They even carried a fake guilitine. Remember the bats in barred wire and the threats of rape and death? Spare me the troon tears.
Now obviously we can't condone the âDiversity Bööggâ đđđđTrans Woman Burned in Effigy in Switzerland

Yeah, because something an individual does is totally the same
Iâm sorry that individual trans women who are sick and tired of listening to your bullshit and fearing for their lives every time they leave the house as themselves reacted in ways that arenât necessarily great. As cis women should fucking know, sometimes when youâre sick a tired of something as totally life-affecting as discrimination, your mind breaks and you do and say things that arenât necessarily helpful. And itâs too bad that hurt your poor little fee-fees. Watch me play this tiny violin for youâŠ
However, when it is a county (or state, or federal) sanctioned event, that brings it to a whole different level. And thatâs what this is. This is the county-level government saying âwe donât care about trans and non-binary people and violence may happen to them if they come here. We either wonât do anything to stop or may perpetrate it ourselves.â Of course, I donât think Ms. Wench will see that as a bad thing. In fact, sheâd likely be one of the people who would sic the cops on a trans person just for walking down the same street as her or being near her house.
They even carried a fake guilitine.
The source of this claim appears to be *one* protest sign in a pro-trans rally in Scotland earlier this year, which depicts a guillotine and the words âdecapitate TERFsâ. There was some hysteria over this by UK TERFs. If there was ever anything involving a fake/model one I couldnât find it.
Remember the bats in barred wire
I found two likely sources for this; one is a Texas drag brunch last year (2022) which had some volunteers (mostly cis ex-military) guarding the place against a possible attack by the Proud Boys; a few of them had barbed-wire bats. (The Proud Boys did show up, a few with AR-15s, but didnât dare to attack.) The other is a 2018 transgender art display in San Francisco; it included a display case with the theme âbash backâ which had several baseball bats painted in trans colors, one of which had barbed wire on it. Again, this was meant as a defensive anti-Nazi message.
and the threats of rape and death?
âThreats of deathâ, as far as Iâm aware, seem to be mostly limited to a handful of individual protest signs like the guillotine one mentioned above and âshut the fuck up, TERFâ style memes, neither of which are remotely common in my experience. âThreats of rapeâ seem to be limited to rare trollish behavior, which, as far as Iâm aware, basically disappeared at some point during the early-to-mid 2010s. I say âas far as Iâm awareâ to these things because Iâm not immersed enough in either trans or TERF culture to say for sure.

Is that an SCP-1173 reference? Because that would be Eastern Samothrace, which doesnât exist, unless thereâs a mind virus which makes it so some people believe it doesnât exist, in which case it does, unless thereâs a mind virus which makes some people believe it *does* exist, in which case it still doesnât. Unless itâs a different reference, in which case it went over my head.
(Note: Samothrace is a real place, itâs one of the Greek Islands.)

(The real fun thing of course is that, in the SCP setting, BOTH options are completely plausibleâŠ)
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
