ask me what I’m reading <3
I enjoy: sci fi + political theory, collaging, history documentaries, cooking new recipes (I’m just a beginner tho), Anticonsumerism, Star trek, Hiking exploring new cities, smoking weed, my kitty burgercat
I saw this comic,
And wanted to make some corrections and follow ups to it. The comments claimed this is what TERFs are all about and completely ignored the fact that TERFs do not exist.
TERFs aren't real. Radical feminists are real - radical means "root." The "root" cause of why the feminism movement exists is because female people are oppressed by male people on the axis of sex. It's plenty inclusive because it includes all female people.
the good ending
woman makes a joke about her own sexuality and marriage, immediately has to apologise because how she has sex ‘invalidates’ men, and still receives abuse for suggesting that there are women who don’t have sex with penis-havers.
as someone who grew up catholic, the “trans women are women” feels very eerie, like after you confess your sins to a priest and he makes you say ten hail marys to absolve you of your sins. it’s dogmatic. it’s cultish.
I think the level of vitriol displayed here really shows how few TRAs have had to actually go through even the mildest forms of homophobia. I remember as a young girl I would sometimes ask my parents or my religious ed teachers why being gay was immoral, they would always say that it was because people in same-sex relationships couldn't naturally conceive. Always. When you hear that constantly growing up, and when you are taught that a women's purpose is to bear children growing up, you start to feel very very ashamed of the fact you won't ever have a happy opposite relationship because such a thing is impossible for you. Ultimately, jokes like the one made here, I think, are an attempt to take pride in what others despise you for, and to love yourself. But because so few 'queer' people nowadays are actually gay or lesbian, most of them have no empathy for that and immediately turn to vicious hatred.
After all these years, nothing has changed. The idea of a woman who does not want to reproduce is abhorrent to them. They even put TiFs through this, just look at how much they like to talk about trans men getting pregnant, despite how uncomfortable that makes many actual trans men. And look at how they show relationships: whenever it's a 'gay' relationship, one is cis and one is trans, but whenever it's a straight relationship, both are trans. These people find actual same-sex relationships abhorrent.
Fellow left wing women, STOP FUCKING APOLOGISING for shit like this. Left wing assholes gravitate to you for the same reason why right wing assholes dump their bad mood on the cashier who is forced to apologise to them. Stand up.
And it's actually got to the point I had a doctor give me the TRA sermon on my last visit. I was there to get scripts for my epilepsy, one of which is The Pill, but using The Pill in conjunction with other anti-convulsants will negate the birth control effect (which I only learned a decade into using The Pill that way, luckily that lil bit of medical misogyny didn't land me pregnant, bc of the homosexuality).
Anyway, so the doctor says "you know The Pill won't work as birth control if you use it with your epilepsy meds, so what are you using for birth control?" And I give the ol "being a lesbian lolol" and this man is like "ok but you can be a lesbian and still get pregnant".
And I was almost gonna be like 'what, thru rape, bc I know, but generally women don't use birth control on the off chance they'll be raped' but I'd been asked my pronouns (and not my far more medically relevant sexual orientation) enough times I knew what he meant. So I was like "hahah yeah I don't do that" and this guy just went into lecture mode, telling me lesbians can have dicks and do I know how to use a condom and shit. Wouldn't give me my scripts until I agreed with him that I need to consider dick as a lesbian. I would have just walked out but he was the only bulk bill doctor in 1000km radius and I need those scripts to live. Filed a complaint after I left but it didn't go anywhere.
But yeah "lesbians can't get preg is transphobia" is so funny to me when this exact point has and is increasingly causing literal life-threatening lesphobia in my day to day.
sometimes you'll see a post about lesbians and will immediately know that it was not written by a lesbian.
a lesbian would not say that.
We have no way of knowing whether or not phones are bad or good for kids. We just know the literacy rate for teens has fallen off a cliff since 2008 and standardized test performance is at historic lows and they’re all incredibly mentally ill now and there’s been a surge in student violence against teachers post pandemic and 57% of gen z wants to be an influencer when they grow up. We have no way of knowing what any of this means. It could be good i think. I’m a scientist
she’s just like me fr.
sorry women in my phone I haven’t been posting much because I’m going through an OCD spike
i hope you're all eating beans... they're cheap and a good source of fiber.... demystify the bean
i do think the tide is "turning" on gender ideology but i think you're mistaken if you imagine the drop in polled support for trans identified individuals is indicative of some sort of gender abolitionist or feminist awakening in the general population.
when the general population is polled on their views on feminism, the response is shockingly negative. older women tend to be consistently pro-feminist, but young women and all men trend towards the statement that "feminism has done more harm than good."
the drop in support for trans identification is not necessarily correlated with a rise in feminist values. to my view it's correlated more with the revanchist return of traditional, conservative gender ideology. i know that's kind of depressing to acknowledge, but it doesn't serve me as a feminist to blind myself to the fact that most people who are against trans identification are against it due to their disgust for gender non conformity, rather than a feminist analysis of the sex classes. i'm not throwing a party about it.
A kind person whose social justice vocabulary is outdated or inadequate for the concepts they’re trying to communicate is a better person than anyone who’d rip them down as a bigot for not keeping up with the euphemism treadmill. Morality is measured by how you treat people, not how well you’ve memorized a continuously evolving set of shibboleths.
The flipside of this is that just because someone can parrot the correct terminology at you doesn’t mean they are a good or a kind person and believing that someone is ok just because they use the right words leaves you very open to being manipulated.

(idea from @thoughtscout, check her blog out!)
this is so adorable awww, love you women in my phone who do cool art
So. We gonna talk about the trans men & transmascs who were tortured in a Louisiana ICE. facility between 2023 and 2025? About how they were told things like ‘If you wanna be a man, I'll treat you like a man’, or ‘aren't you strong enough? Aren't you a man?’ Or are we just going to keep denying the oppression of trans men & transmascs?
A federal complaint accuses the warden of creating an ad hoc work program used to demean trans detainees.
This video on the YouTube channel How To Cook That has changed a lot of my viewing behaviors, and that was before I even started looking at radfem content on here.
At around 4:39 she starts talking about the AI algorithm kicking in, and female creators suffering. I do think the full video is worth watching, but you can skip to about 11:20 to see her assessment of all the top creators' sexes.
Ever since I saw this video, I noticed it in my own feed. I would keep getting recommended the same boring template commentary-style men, all just talking about the same drama or random subreddits. And they would get pushed to me HARD. Maybe you can say it's unfair of me, but I ignore them now. YouTube still seems to struggle with showing me actual women creators, but I go out of my way to make sure I watch them to get more women on my feed. And also because I'm sick of seeing all these mediocre men lol.
want to play Mario kart
Interesting how, by artists, mastectomy scars were embraced much quicker and with much more enthusiasm than non sexualised bare breasts ever were
