7. JK Rowling and the Titty Clapping TERF, Part 3: Breasting Boobily // Secret of the Ooze
<p>Westin (they/them) and Easton (she/her), are joined by special guest Ivy (she/her/they) to discuss a buckwild TERF essay that Easton wishes had gone viral. Jean Hatchet, radical feminist and JK Rowling reply guy, wrote in defense of her hero's boobs, and hilarity ensued.</p> <p>In part 3, Hatchet invents a hierarchical system for ranking women and blames trans women for it. She also makes up some hypothetical reasons to shame her own body, and blames trans women for it. Then, she does some breasting boobily, and shames trans women for it.</p> <p>And of course, we reach the long-awaited Clappening. </p> <p>Other threads include: the virtues of self-accountability, the mysteries of British grammar, what is and isn’t sexualization, the ableism of defining people by their body parts, the worst fanfiction of all time, and titty physics.</p> <p>Content warning for transmisogyny and misogyny - specifically, gaslighting and projecting about the ways cis women antagonize the trans community, sexualizing trans women, and accusing trans women of being jealous of cis women. There is also body shaming and scrutiny, of course.</p> <p>We apologize for any feedback or audio strangeness. We had some technical difficulties editing this one, but figured it’s been long enough and that we should go ahead and release as-is. We know this episode took a long time to come out, but we’re really proud of it.

6. JK Rowling and the Titty Clapping TERF, Part 2: The Trans Illuminati is Too Hot for Jean Hatchet
<p>Westin (he/they) and Easton (she/her), are joined by special guest Nikki (she/her/they) to discuss a buckwild TERF essay that Easton wishes had gone viral. Jean Hatchet, radical feminist and JK Rowling reply guy, wrote in defense of her hero's boobs, and hilarity ensued.</p> <p>In part 2, we read Hatchet’s bold response to one (1) mean tweet about JKR. We delve into her TERFy definition of womanhood that not even her idol can live up to, and explore the female hive body. She projects her jealousy over hot trans women, and raves about the shocking secrets of womanhood, never before heard of by anyone outside the club. She also can’t help but reveal her SWERF side too and the ways she deeply misunderstands porn.</p> <p>Other threads include: beauty standards, tryhard half-assed white antiracism, how lifting up the most marginalized benefits all, ableism within the queer community during pride, and real-world violence against the community today.</p> <p>Content warning for transmisogyny and misogyny - specifically, gaslighting and projecting about the ways cis women antagonize the trans community, accusing trans women of being jealous.</p> <p>The original article: <a href="https://thecritic.co.uk/why-are-tras-body-shaming-j-k-rowling/"><u>https://thecritic.co.uk/why-are-tras-body-shaming-j-k-rowling/</u></a></p> <p>My Immortal, the (second) worst fanfiction of all time: <a href="https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6829556/1/My-Immortal"><u>https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6829556/1/My-Immortal</u></a></p> <p>Check our Instagram @WAYMATpod to view all the images we describe!

5. JK Rowling and the Titty Clapping TERF, Part 1: Brunch Selfies are the Real Activism
<p>Westin (he/they) and Easton (she/her), are joined by special guest Nikki (she/her/they) to discuss a buckwild TERF essay that Easton wishes had gone viral. Jean Hatchet, radical feminist and JK Rowling reply guy, wrote in defense of her hero's boobs, and hilarity ensued.</p> <p>In part 1, we lay out the background, briefly defining TERFs, radical feminism, and the history of the (white) feminist sex wars. We look at how The Critic Magazine describes itself vs the content they put out. And, we profile Jean Hatchet, her gatekeeping pseudonym, her activist network’s contradictions, and her fangirling love for JK Rowling.</p> <p>We also see a return of spooky vibes and mind reading, ideology over material reality, crying censorship to claim victimhood when one’s reactionary politics get less popular, the impulse to protect every unbaked thought from critical analysis, and disingenuous free speech activism as a gateway for bigoted violence.</p> <p>Other threads include: brunch selfie feminist activism, body shaming, wRoNgThInK, and attempts to twist statistics when they prove your point wrong, over and over again. We also rant about bad schooling practices, needing dubs to watch anime while playing video games, privileged white organizers making messes for BIPOC and queer folks to clean up, and “respecting” disabled people’s COVID precautions.</p> <p>Content warning for transmisogyny and misogyny - specifically mentions of disproportionate domestic violence and murder, TERFs making light of those, references to misgendering, and scrutinizing bodies and appearances.</p> <p>The original article: <a href="https://thecritic.co.uk/why-are-tras-body-shaming-j-k-rowling/"><u>https://thecritic.co.uk/why-are-tras-body-shaming-j-k-rowling/</u></a></p> <p>The Critic Magazine’s self-description: <a href="https://thecritic.co.uk/about-the-critic-2/"><u>https://thecritic.co.uk/about-the-critic-2/</u></a></p> <p>The Critic Magazine’s Launch Editorial: <a href="https://thecritic.co.uk/issues/november-2019/introducing-the-critic/"><u>https://thecritic.co.uk/issues/november-2019/introducing-the-critic/</u></a></p> <p>Counting Dead Women (CW - The content gets graphic and very transphobic): <a href="https://kareningalasmith.com/counting-dead-women/"><u>https://kareningalasmith.com/counting-dead-women/</u></a></p> <p>Check our Instagram @WAYMATpod to view all the images we describe!
