A fair few people are talking about Murphs role in titan takedown and I wanted to highlight the section of the article talking about Danielle Radford for anyone looking to get into wrestling. Having a Danielle is crucial. It’s so hard to navigate the insane history and language and stars of wrestling by yourself, talk to your friends and find people who will sit down with you and help you out as you learn about this whole world of entertainment
Anti-asexual discourse has always been a canary in the mine when it comes to anti-LGBTQ stances. First it’s trans people, than ace people, then gender non-conforming people, then bi people… it will just keep going until it’s every queer person.
I looked up the tweet to confirm it was real (because even now it was shocking), and she doubles down (as she always does) in follow up tweets.
It’s always felt like the way TERFs hate Asexuals is related to the fact that we kinda fuck with their narrative by existing.
They can’t spread transphobia on the back of gender essentialism that says people with penises are animals with no impulse control, if simultaneously it’s generally understood that some people (which includes some people with penises) just don’t have that sexual impulse.
If asexuality is real then a lot of Radfem rhetoric starts falling apart.
