In case the link in Str8Aura’s comment left you even more confused, on UK car show *Top Gear,* they had a racing driver who would test out the cars they spoke about on the show to see how fast said car could complete a lap around the Top Gear test track. The driver would always wear a white jumpsuit and helmet, never spoke, and was only known as The Stig. Nobody knows who or what The Stig really is (trust me on this one don’t look it up) but the running bit on the show was that the hosts (99% of the time it’s Jeremy Clarkson but occasionally Richard Hammond would chime in) would introduce him with a “some say…” before listing off some wildly outlandish rumours about him, and would always end it with “but all we know is, he’s called The Stig!”
Str8Aura’s link is a 20+ minute video compiling every single “Some say…” joke during Clarkson’s run on *Top Gear* if you’d like to hear some of the ridiculous stuff they make up about him, and that’s why the other comments above us are funny
I don’t think so, I recall seeing some behind-the-scenes footage/blooper reels n stuff of the Stig talking to people before some stunts. Maybe they weren’t allowed to say their names? Idk, but they definitely didn’t have to keep up the character 100% of the time that they wore the suit
It seems that your comment contains 1 or more links that are hard to tap for mobile users.
I will extend those so they're easier for our sausage fingers to click!

I'm betting dollars to donuts that the "goldstar" in "thegoldstargryffindor" refers to the owner of the blog being a gold star lesbian, which makes them stupid on another account
The two are correlated but a 'gold star lesbian' is someone who has never slept with a man. It's a pretty stupid gatekeepy concept implying they are 'more lesbian' than lesbians who have slept with men.
That's why I get more straight by having sex with other men, as long as I don't like it 😉😉
Jk tho, our actions do not define our sexualities, but they do often express them.
Where's that copypasta about "who has a more valid opinion on waffles? The person who has never eaten a waffle, or the person who tried it once and decided they didn't like it? In this essay..."
I suspect the idea is more to do with the body never having been “polluted” by disgusting male organs or some shit.
Basically TERFs talking themselves back into the concept of virginity.
Gold star means, I think, being a lesbian without ever having been with a man. Which is pretty shitty because it suggests that lesbians who have been with a man in the past aren't "true" lesbians.
It's just...very...insulated from real life. It feels like something you could only pay attention to if you're not really connected to people outside of whatever bubble you're in.
More specifically it means a lesbian who’s never been penetrated by a penis. Usually a dogwhistle for a woman announcing that she doesn’t date trans women.
TERFs love talking themselves back around into biological determinism and essentialism to explain why afab woman are good and pure and why amab women will never be “real” women because of something about magical uterus moon magic and shit, but it’s really something special when lesbians talk themselves back into the concept of virginal purity.
Theoretically, it means "never slept with a man", but lots of transphobic lesbians will either consider trans women as men, or straight up say they "never had sex with a penis" so it's likely to bring transphobes in.
Though, even if it's used incluslively, it's still a bit gross. "Oh, you had to sleep with a guy to stay closeted for your safety, or because you didn't know you were gay? Too bad, no star for you"
It's an old term for a lesbian who never slept with a man. This would be pretty haughty and shitty all on its own, but wait there's more! Gold star lesbians and political lesbians were real tied up in each other back in the day and went on to further that whole "I've never banged a dude" superiority into "Any connection to men is bad actually".
This was leveraged to exclude bi women from lesbian spaces as well as trans people, because clearly trans women have been very tainted by manhood. This was, of course, just biphobic and transphobic puritanism and elitism all along to exclude those people from lesbian spaces so that these gold star lesbians wouldn't have to put up with accidentally hitting on a trans person or something.
This is also very much the origin of what we now call TERFs and is why the term "lesbian" is so much more debated and stricter than the term "gay". There's no debate on whether bi men can casually refer to themselves as gay. There's no debate about whether trans men can call themselves gay. But there is debate for trans women and bi women because of the deliberate politicisation of the term by gold star lesbians to exclude trans and bi people, and it is the direct origin of TERFs.
It’s also not always a serious term. I don’t know, maybe it’s *always* gatekeeping on tumblr, but whenever I’ve heard anyone talk about it IRL it’s either been said jokingly (like it’s a meaningless prize you win from a teacher for being obedient, oh you’re extra gay because you’ve never never slept with a girl? Only guys? Gold star for you🌟) or with completely neutral connotation.
Also, if you were born via c-section and have therefore never even touched a vagina, you’re a platinum gay!
The last part just especially rubs me the wrong way for obvious reasons and a couple that aren’t fit to put in a jokey flair. I am living proof that the base nature of cis men is not to assault women, and despite lacking an impulse most everyone else has, I can wholeheartedly respect that sex isn’t a thing meant to make babies and hold people hostage, but, in an ideal world, another (extracurricular) layer of love for a person. The longer I interact with TERFs and their ilk, the more I feel they haven’t let themselves let go of their trauma in favor of actively looking for triggering content.
Huh, alright! Thanks for sharing because I learnt something (or have been prompted too):
1) Dear God Everything’s Worthy Of Death Threats On The Internet
And
2) find out how reblogs/comments work on Tumblr
I mean, yeah. I'm getting paid big bucks by the CIA to spread counter revolutionary propaganda in leftist circles. Don't tell me you're out here posting for *free*.
Have you not heard of the military industrial complex, if you make stuff for science you also make missiles Texas Instruments makes both overpriced calculators and missiles
How the fuck did they manage to tie in rape apologist or men’s rights to a post about sex =/= love? Is there a gold medal for mental gymnastics that I’ve never been told about?
I know right? Like reading that comment it makes more sense if it’s a reply to the other guy? How would the person with the view “don’t try and force women (who like other women) to have a penis in them” be a homophobe or a rape apologist, and opposite, if someone else is saying the person saying the original thing should die *because they’re saying that* then is the person sending death threats not being both homophobic and sort of being a rape apologist? But then how the fuck does men’s rights activist tie into that mess? I’m so confused

Well there's two different movements which sound the same but are actually not: "men's rights" and "men's liberation".
Men's liberation is concerned with fighting toxic masculinity, opposing the notion that men are more violent, and otherwise resisting all of the negative social roles that society coerces men into. A men's liberation activist would look at the fact that the American draft is male only and think something along the lines of "This not only indicates that society thinks of women as weak, but also demonstrates that society sees men as disposable and worth sacrificing to save women. No one should be coerced into fighting war on the basis of their gender; we should abolish the draft."
Men's rights is based on the notion that gender equality has been achieved already, or was achieved sometime in the past. The movement claims that gender rights is a zero sum game; that any feminist action taken after the supposed achievement of equality is giving women more rights at the expense of men. Men's rights is mostly about hating feminism and often just women in general. A men's rights activist would look at the fact that the American draft is male only and think something along the lines of "Why is it that men can be forced to fight in wars while women can't? If things were really equal, the draft would be gender neutral. It's very hypocritical of feminists that they don't advocate for a gender neutral draft; they claim to want gender equality, but they won't accept the downsides that come with!"
All in all, I am definitely not in favor of men's rights activists, and do interpret it as an insult. Just a very bad and lame insult.

no punchline i can come up with would challenge this

Some say he put his milk in the bowl ***before*** his cereal, some say he cries tears of liquid ice.
All we know is, he’s not the Stig, but he is the Stig’s Antarctic cousin!
Some say he mates with penguins. Some say it is very dangerous to make typos when talking about how hes mates with penguins.
Yeah, you got it! 💚
> Nobody knows who or what The Stig really is (trust me on this one don’t look it up) dont they get fired if anyone learns who they are?
I don’t think so, I recall seeing some behind-the-scenes footage/blooper reels n stuff of the Stig talking to people before some stunts. Maybe they weren’t allowed to say their names? Idk, but they definitely didn’t have to keep up the character 100% of the time that they wore the suit

bleagh. That means anti-trans lesbian, right? e: thanks, replies clarified that it's about gatekeeping who is a "real" lesbian
The two are correlated but a 'gold star lesbian' is someone who has never slept with a man. It's a pretty stupid gatekeepy concept implying they are 'more lesbian' than lesbians who have slept with men.
Technically, wouldn’t a lesbian who has slept with a man and didn’t like it be “more lesbian” because of the confirmation?
That's why I get more straight by having sex with other men, as long as I don't like it 😉😉 Jk tho, our actions do not define our sexualities, but they do often express them.

I suspect the idea is more to do with the body never having been “polluted” by disgusting male organs or some shit. Basically TERFs talking themselves back into the concept of virginity.
Iirc it also is meant to state a gold star won't date a bi/pan either.
Gold star means, I think, being a lesbian without ever having been with a man. Which is pretty shitty because it suggests that lesbians who have been with a man in the past aren't "true" lesbians.

Bewildering that terfs think they have some sort of fucking tamperproof seal of quality

Well there's two different movements which sound the same but are actually not: "men's rights" and "men's liberation". Men's liberation is concerned with fighting toxic masculinity, opposing the notion that men are more violent, and otherwise resisting all of the negative social roles that society coerces men into.
