currywhore

From curry + whore, referencing the stereotype of curry as a staple of Indian cuisine.

2019, anonymous, quoted in Stephane J. Baele, Lewys Brace, & Travis G. Coan, "From 'Incel' to 'Saint': Analyzing the violent worldview behind the 2018 Toronto attack", Terrorism and Political Violence

The incels’ discussions of white privilege are based on extreme misogyny, rather than progressive ideas. Incels call women of colour “noodlewhores” (women from Southeast Asia) and “currywhores” (women from South Asia). They argue that women of colour view white men as more desirable and use white men to increase their social standing.

gaycel

One of the most actively repudiated members of Incel forums are Femcels as well as Incels from the LGBTQ community, commonly referred to as “Gaycels” who are actively met with great hostility, shut out, and blocked from Incel forums.

2019, Farshad Labbaf, “United By Rage, Self-Loathing, And Male Supremacy: The Rise of the Incel Community”, in INvoke: Gender, Colonization, and Violence, volume 5, page 19:

He feels depressed, disconnected from the gay community, and ostracised by his fellow incels, who respond to his nihilistic posts with the argument that ‘gaycels’ are always ‘volcels’ (voluntarily celibate), a rationale which stems from the untrue stereotype that gay guys can always get laid.

Jewsel does both in the same comment: “Well, you are severe gaycel, or an extreme mentalcel. Just go to therapy and stop being this loli creepy guy and you would escape inceldom easily.”

2020, "Jewsel", quoted in Joshua A. Segalewitz, "'You Don't Understand... It's Not About Virginity': Sexual Markets, Identity Construction, and Violent Masculinity on an Incel Forum Board", thesis submitted to the University of Dayton, page 25


pinkpill

LL-Q1860 (eng)-Flame, not lame-pinkpill.wav

From pink + pill, after the pattern of red pill, and because of the association of pink with femininity.

Interestingly, other pills, such as the purplepill and pinkpill, hint at some being undecided about whether dating is skewed in favour of one group or another and to femcels or female involuntarily celibates.

2020, Vanja Zdjelar, "Alone together: Exploring community on an incel forum", thesis submitted to Simon Fraser University, page 10

Femcels often refer to "Pink Pill" philosophy, a similarly desolate understanding of human nature in which sexually undesirable women are the victims of society's in-built "lookism," an immovable prejudice based on physical appearance.

2021, Jilly Boyce Kay, “Abject Desires in the Age of Anger: Incels, femcels and the gender politics of unfuckability”, in Suzanne Leonard, Diane Negra, editors, Imagining "We" in the Age of "I": Romance and Social Bonding in Contemporary Culture, unnumbered page:

The former occurs within the context “have you taken the pinkpill yet” and the latter within “amalt what are your thoughts on this”.

2021, anonymous, quoted in Irina Levit, "'Foids have no soul, they are not human': A sociological examination of the language used by an online male supremacy group", thesis submitted to the University of Ontario Institute of Technology, page 52

(incel slang) A notional pill taken by femcels (female incels) who have adopted a nihilistic philosophy that unattractive women will never be sexually or romantically successful.

(incel slang) A notional pill taken by those who have adopted a belief that as unattractive men they would be more attractive as trans women.


moid

Presumably from male + -oid, after the pattern of foid, itself a clipping of femoid.

[…] not to mention foids calling themselves femcels for not getting a Chad and copying many of our viewpoints and perspectives and terms(LOL Pinkpill? Moids?), […]

2019, anonymous, quoted in Julia Rose DeCook, "Curating the Future: The Sustainability Practices of Online Hate Groups", dissertation submitted to Michigan State University, page 162

Does this moid even know the meaning of the term ‘butterface’? If this woman is ugly, there is no hope for most of the female population.

2021, anonymous, quoted in Ella Guest, Bertie Vidgen, Alexandros Mittos, Nishanth Sastry, Gareth Tyson, & Helen Margetts, "An Expert Annotated Dataset for the Detection of Online Misogyny", Proceedings of the 16th Conference of the European Chapter of the Association for Computational Linguistics (2021), page 1343

2018, anonymous, quoted in Rebecca Karlén, "Incels: En kartläggning av diskursen på forumetincels.is", thesis submitted to Uppsala University, page 30

Arguably, the most effective way to prevent an incel from “going ER” is by proactively addressing his suicidal impulses.

2020, Bruce Hoffman, Jacob Ware, Ezra Shapiro, “Assessing the Threat of Incel Violence”, in Studies in Conflict & Terrorism, volume 43, number 7:

Women found advantages in taking on a man's name since it was easier for a man to publish his work than for a woman. However, women did not monopolize transgenderal pseudonymity because, interestingly, men also adopted female pseudonyms.

As for Joker, after the FBI warned of mass-shooting threats from so-called “Clowncels,” some theaters in the United States banned makeup and costumes during the screening of Phillips’s movie (Margolin and Katersky).

2021 March, Manuel Herrero-Puertas, “Super Whitman 1885”, in Concentric: Literary and Cultural Studies, volume 47, number 1, page 311:

There is a key difference here, however, in that clowncels seem to replace the self-pitying discourse common in incel forums with anger towards the rich and the powerful.

Riggs – who has served as an expert witness in a Queensland court case for a birthing father wanting to be recognised as such […] argues if someone is legally registered as a man, he should be able to claim the title “father”.

2020 October 9, “'Call me dad': Pregnant man takes birth drama to court”, in The Courier Mail:

For instance, compared with a cisgender nonbreastfeeding mother, breast cancer risk may be increased for a birthing father who feeds his infant artificial milk (due to the residual breast tissue and the lack of desire or ability to lactate), or decreased if he is able to partially lactate with the remaining mammary tissue.

2021, Melissa Bartick et al., "Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine Position Statement and Guideline: Infant Feeding and Lactation-Related Language and Gender", Breastfeeding Medicine, Volume 16, Number 8 (link)

From the phrase pick me + boy; possibly arose as a counterpart to pick-me girl.

Except, unlike "pick me girls", "pick me boys" don’t appear on our movie screens. No. These boys make their cameos primarily on Snapchat. And, according to TikTok, they all follow the same script.

2021 March 2, Catie Powers, “TikTok Is Calling Out Toxic "Pick Me Boys" And We're So Here For It”, in Girlfriend:

'Pick me boys' are a completely different story. The aim is similar – trying to make themselves stand out from other men – but their approach varies entirely. 'Pick me boys' self-deprecate and fish for compliments as a form of flirting.

xenofeminism

From xeno- + feminism. Coined by the collective Laboria Cuboniks in their 2015 manifesto The Xenofeminist Manifesto: A Politics for Alienation.

Even if they were to incorporate feminist perspectives, however, tensions remain between the desire to use technology for change, as in feminist posthumanism and xenofeminism, and the recognition of its embeddedness within both militarism and capitalism.

2018, Emily Jones, Sara Kendall, Yoriko Otomo, “Gender, War, and Technology: Peace and Armed Conflict in the Twenty-First Century”, in Australian Law Journal, volume 44, number 1, page 5:

Xenofeminism sees the rising wave of technocracy but instead of searching for a buoy, it wants to catch the surf.

2019, Bogna M. Konior, “Automate the Womb: Ecologies and Technologies of Reproduction”, in Parrhesia, number 31, page 232:

Rejecting the claim that science and technology are inherently masculine or patriarchal, Xenofeminism looks at attempts to repurpose technology to liberate women.

Highlighting how feminist theory and feminist posthumanism in particular has generally taken an antimilitarism stance, Jones notes that the xenofeminist manifesto is silent on the topic of militarism, and argues for reclaiming anti-militarism for the xenofeminist project, illustrating how that approach can be useful for critiquing the uses of autonomous weapons systems.

2018, Emily Jones, Sara Kendall, Yoriko Otomo, “Gender, War, and Technology: Peace and Armed Conflict in the Twenty-First Century”, in Australian Law Journal, volume 44, number 1, page 6:

Nature's waters are subverted to turn against its guests, complementing a xenofeminist commitment to an anti-naturalism that also entails dismantling nuclear domestic spaces.

2020, Jennifer Cooke, “Feminist Manuals and Manifestos in the Twenty-first Century”, in Jennifer Cooke, editor, The New Feminist Literary Studies, page 196:

The alternative, in this case, is the possibility that highly automated and autonomous technologies could be leveraged as the technomaterialist infrastructure of a postcapitalist, xenofeminist world.

gendertrash

From gender + trash. The first known use was as the title of a transgender-interest zine published out of Toronto from 1993-1995. The first attested use as an independent word was in two magazine articles by Riki Wilchins in 1995.

From this viewpoint, transgendered bodies and genders are that outside; and it is precisely by discarding us as “gendertrash” if you will, by stigmatizing us or delegitimating us off the grid as merely “aberrant” or “deviant” or (Virginia Prince here) “defective” or “pathological,” which enables the binary grid to continue to appear as immaculate, uncontaminated, and “natural.”

1995, Riki Wilchins, "What's In A Name: The Politics of Gender Speak", Transgender Tapestry, Winter 1995, page 47

This not only serves no purpose and makes *you* look like an ugly person, it also […] lends legitimacy to the kind of thinking that leads the bigots to insist that we're *all* gendertrash.

1998 November 10, Dale Elizabeth, “Re: What Changing One's Sex Really Means....”, in soc.support.transgendered (Usenet):

In the most straightforward way, [Dorothy] Allison was responding to the typical question by a horrified liberal to gendertrash who likes rough trade: Honey, I got nothin' to hide.

genderspeak

'Man' when used of the human race is the primary use, which the Shorter Oxford Dictionary still upholds, and so what we are seeing is not a change of inclusive language so much as a kind of 'genderspeak'.

1994, Mark Turnham Elvins, Towards a People's Liturgy: The Importance of Language, page 56:

The result is a slightly odd hybrid of '90s genderspeak and the cornball phrasing in Preston Sturges movies. One of my favorite passages, on sex in sobriety, substitutes human beings for man and now reads: […]

1996, Utne Reader, November-December 1996, page 96:

I've also strayed from the politically correct in many ways, not the least of which is genderspeak. I use he, him, his and so on throughout the book (unless I am writing about a woman), […]

Specifically, nonbinary and autigender people were more likely to use gender-neutral terms like “kid” or “person” instead of gendered terms like “boy” or “man.”

2021, Kelly L. Coburn, "Spoken Narratives by Autistic Adults of Under-Represented Genders", dissertation submitted to Pennsylvania State University, pages 123-124

Yeah...I'm autistic and my experience of my gender is linked to my experience of autism, and so I identify as autigender.

2021, Sabrina Symington, Coming Out, Again: Transition Stories, unnumbered page:

Neurogender and autigender people are often met with anger and prejudice, even by some T/GE people who view such new forms of gender identification as threatening to trans respectability.

2022, Sarah Cavar, Alexandre Baril, “Disability”, in Laura Erickson-Schroth, editor, Trans Bodies, Trans Selves: A Resource by and for Transgender Communities, page 85:

I have only the one body, in which I feel comfortable, but by rights, I should be a hermafrodite.

> Did you know that males of C. elegans masturbate?
Do these little perverts know what they are doing or they are just responding to hormonal stimulus when they become sexually mature? Some C. elegans are hermafrodites and capable of self-fertilization. Perhaps the males don't "know" they are not hermafrodites and are simply trying to fertilize themselves.

But, definetly,^([sic]) a man is one force and woman the other one. When they are in the sexual intercouse,^([sic]) right in that moment they form, one more time , the primitive hermafrodite, with the power of creation a new life (a baby) and also the power of regenerating themselves through Sexual Magic.

Some twenty years ago I read a SF book about 4 people (2 men, 2 women) who were abducted and dropped on another planet. After several adventures they discover that their kidnappers (hermafrodites, with faces that look like the Sphinx) again offer them a new garden of eden. The book made quite an impression on me and I would like to read it again, however I lost the book and also cannot remember the title. The dutch title was (translated in english) "Cosmic Experiment".

fetucide

First of all, many who hold that combination of views (that is, regarding the death penalty: abolitionist; regarding abortion: libertarian) do so because they don't think fetucide is homicide, so that it is perfectly consistent to hold both views. (Think of someone who is opposed to murder but doesn't mind killing innocent turkeys, or even killing innocent great apes).

I concur that homosexuality is contrasurvival in that members who don't reproduce go extinct. I concur that fetucide is still a crime, while "abortion" has been concocted as a means to deal with "supercargo" under admiralty/maritime jurisdiction of the State.

Absolutist anti-capitalism and negative/zero population. Treating of humans as lower than animals as a kind of "reparations" to the world. The attempt to use bloody means like fetucide and even seek what some might think is a mere slippery slope, but is actually promoted in our colleges and that is the wonderful practices of infanticide by the Spartans and some Amerindian cultures. Promotion of euthanasia and eugenecis while giving lip service. Seeking to control anti-eugenecist movements like ours.

I request your opinions about matching bi-sexual orientation and bi-genderable expression. One, from the subject being bi-bi (experiencies?) and from the bi-bi-friend (testimonies?).
Since x-gender is addmitedly independent of sexual orientation, I just wonder if us/they can find more openness into the bi-community.

I said X usually represents the unknown,key word usually- not always.example Malcom X. Also the most basic algebra-middle school level- starts representing unknown with x. In the case of xmitter, it is short for trans, that is another common use of X, replacing trans, cross or across. example RR Xing, Xatlantic flight, Xgender, I have seen all of these used and more.
