"Gender" is the vehicle for women's oppression, not the reason for it. Militantly Pro-Female.

[servin-terf-haha]

On abortion, rape, and being a woman:

[fedupradfem]

this pretty much sums it up. males trying to silence women, minimizing male violence, and being pro abuse.

[tra-archive]

What’s up with forced birthers saying things like “women who get abortions are running away from responsibility” because tbh getting an abortion IS responsible. I can’t think of anything more irresponsible than having a child you know you aren’t ready for and can’t provide for.

[radfem-alt-clothes]

I feel like gender dysphorias real in the way DID is, where it's undoubtedly a real condition but I doubt that everyone on tiktok who says they have it actually has it.

[anti-willo-two]

wow you really sound like you know a lot about both of these disorders that you're talking about. please do tell me more about this educated opinion you have that you felt the need to put in the tags that sufferers of a very severe and complex disorder frequent.

[disgruntledftm]

so i've been dealing with dysphoria since i was a young teen and was diagnosed with dissociative identity disorder some time after i turned eighteen, and i agree with what radfem-alt-clothes is saying.

these specific things have become trendy to say you have just to feel more special and oppressed on the internet. you practically never heard of people online with DID or any other "multiple personality disorder" until 2020, and then all of a sudden there was a massive boom of chronically online teenagers with dreamsmp alters and typing quirks, and almost all of those also coincidentally identified as FTM. these were and still are teenagers confused about their identity because of minimal socialization, most of these people couldn't even tell you the diagnostic criteria for gender dysphoria or DID beyond "not feeling congruent with your body" and "having childhood trauma". yes these are very complex issues, but most people on the internet do not actually deal with the complexities of these disorders and just say they do for internet brownie points.

most of these people probably wouldn't have felt this way about themselves without the popular people internet suddenly claiming to deal with these things. it's not a shocking phenomenon for people to pretend to suffer from disorders because they think it's cool and want to feel special.

[ruuling]

its hilarious to me that people try to claim this website is anti-trans when as soon as i switch from the following tab to the for you tab, im inundated with pro-trans propaganda.

[eliza1exe]

Maturing is realizing trans men are just women with internalized misogyny. Of course you would want to reject female anatomy and womanhood under a system that oppresses you for precisely that. Internalized misogyny is to be expected atp, but we should fight against it, not with it.

[iceyrukia]

[occasionaltmblrforafreehero]

yeah, that's what happen when you wanna pretend men are women

[tommylikeslemons]

Feminism became toothless when we started pretending a woman was just a feeling in someone’s head, actually.

[evenlesssentimentaltranslator]

This website likes “women can be scientists, teachers, and bodybuilders” but they never wanted to do the scut work of getting rid of bias against women in STEM or stopping harassment against female teachers or challenging the way that most people still think big muscles are something only men should have.

This website only likes “women can be scientists or teachers or body builders” because they can then twist that into “why are banning men from your sports leagues? We thought woman could be ANYTHING?” and “why are you banning men from spaces where you’re vulnerable to violence and harassment? We thought women wanted to be big and strong, not delicate and weak.”

“Woman is a feeling in your head” was at the heart of all of the backlash against feminism that took place on the left.

[radfem-alt-clothes]

I feel like gender dysphorias real in the way DID is, where it's undoubtedly a real condition but I doubt that everyone on tiktok who says they have it actually has it.

[servin-terf-haha]

And even further than that: the few people actually afflicted by it shouldn't get privileges or have their rights supersede others bc of their conditions.

A person with DID, genuine or not, doesn't get an extra vote in elections bc they claim 7 alters of 3 different parties. They don't get to claim their 'littles' as tax dependents. They don't have birth and death certificates to inflate Census numbers. It's a completely internal battle that, while not exactly the same obviously, is dealt with in therapy.

A person with gender dysphoria, similarly, shouldn't have their illness entertained EITHER with self-mutilation and medicalized self-harm NOR with privileges that directly harm others.

Even if an illness exists, it should be treated, not prolonged, used as a political pawn, or entertained at the risk of harm to others. Period.

PEAK thread- people who peaked recently within the last two years- can you share your experience and what sent you over the edge. I’m curious

[our-lady-of-cyber]

i remember being a teenager and thinking "why don't I hear about feminism anymore? where are the women advocating against the pressure to shave, advocating to free the nipple, fighting against the men that beat up their wives? I used to hear about them all the time when I was a kid. Maybe it's because the feminists decided that instead of freeing all women they preferred to exclude the trans women and be mean instead"

And then at some point I realized that the feminists defending trans women are not really fighting for any of that. Abortion was no longer a right in the US and I saw so many trans people saying "they're coming for us next" as if there isn't a big chunk of trans people who just lost their rights to abortion. I saw how they treat trans men among their community. They prefer to fight for their right to include themselves among the victims of misogyny then to dismantle it.

And then I went to see what is it about these women they hate so much. Why do they hate terfs and why should I hate them too? "because they hate trans people therefore they are bigots" well I don't really see trans people fighting for women like me. And it was when I found the terfs and radfems that I found the feminists that I had been looking for. They had been here all along, but their voices were hidden behind the voices of men. As always.

[accelorata-jengold]

i realised that gender critical feminism is what i thought nonbinary gender framework was. there were always things that bothered me and got me accused of being a terf on my old blog, but i thought this was just normal disagreement and that it would be crazy to think i'd agree with every individual on every aspect just because we label our beliefs the same way. but it kept happening, so i looked into what gc feminism really is, and felt more than a little stupid. this is why they tell you not to read or "platform" radfem blogs at all.

[zombiifem]

i had been curious previously and checked out spaces about half a year ago, but this new age baeddelism “tma/tme” shit sent me over.

[ftmtf-confessions]

Reading Whipping Girl, realizing that the basis of trans feminism was “femininity always punished” and “masculinity always celebrated” regardless of sex. Thinking of Leslie Feinberg and all the other butches and trans mascs who have been demonized and marginalized for simply being masculine. Got me thinking what other aspects of this could be bs?

[bestmenarefemale]

no matter how much i tried, and looked, and humored, and waited, the transwomen around me even who i had considered 'good ones' and was insisted by others were, chose male solidarity every time, they chose to harbor sexists and keep them in their spaces, they chose to center maleness and males, they saw female opinions and lives as secondary, and would never, ever care even half the way i tried and genuinely did. it was all of them. it wasnt a matter of 'who' like i was told it was a matter of 'when'. when i had bad experiences, i was blamed for not talking to 'the right ones'.

even in the community, all the most loved and credibility having FTM advocates were... male. they were transwomen who were valued for regurgitating the posts females made on our own bodies more than we were. it takes males to make females worth listening to. it pissed me off to no end. and those rare males who did this? they laced between posts softcore porn, erotica, and out of place discussions on the subject of all the people they want to have sex with. and then all the other transwomen who hated them for giving females any time of day would call them in return, clearly females for caring about us, and thus uncreditable.

i wouldnt have cared if it was a minority case. i wouldnt have cared if it was just some. i didnt even care when it seemed like it was half or more. but it started to get to the point where every blog i visited hated females. it wasnt the crazies anymore. it was the mutual in law, it was the funny post of the week's op, it was the commentor, the reblogger, the asker. if you looked, you would find it.

i peaked because whenever i looked and found the truth i was blamed for not talking to the right people. but it was never a problem of who. it was a problem of when. and i was being blamed for looking. i was the "wrong person".

[atlasdrugged82]

Yeah you probably SHOULD have "cared if it was half or more..." 🙄

[atlasdrugged82]

Moral of the story is that a MALE (any male) may kill you.

[doe-eyed-tara]

I wish there were studies on the actual damage men's torment does. The constant hyperawareness to prevent assault and the background noise of low-level stress from men "just teasing" or "just messing with" us cannot be healthy for our hearts. It hurts so much that they just LIKE to see us stressed and upset.

The other day I had a man openly admit to me that when I said I would not like a dick pic, it made him want to do it more. When I asked why, he responded "idk, just made me want to pick on you".

I don't care if it's nature or nurture anymore. I want to focus on the damage this constant awareness of danger does to women. I want to focus on how their constant need to fuck with us even in basic conversation leads to long term stress and damages women's confidence.

[oceanmirage]

I hate to refer to a man on this and if anyone has other sources from female psychologists I would love them, but Dr. Gabor Maté, who is a very widely known psychologist believes that the reason why women get some diseases more often is because of the constant stress we're under, and how much we have to repress ourselves just to exist in this society. He's no feminist scholar, but even he can see the toll this takes on our bodies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=taYVjQ0_ldA https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12535582/

[loserdogma]

To add to this: while men and women have similar or comparable rates of PTSD/CPTSD, the way that it is “developed” vary wildly.

Research has shown that men are far more likely to develop PTSD due to a standalone traumatic event compared to women who — as stated — are more likely to develop CPTSD due to prolonged traumatic events.

While different studies or papers will report slightly different numbers, all agree that women are more “tormented” by daily life than men and thus develop worse mental illness due to it. This study in particular even states that “cisgender women are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop PTSD and CPTSD than men, even when exposed to similar trauma types.”

TLDR; being a cis woman in the world is so traumatic we are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop PTSD than a man by simply living in the world with them.

[apportioned-abortion]

Also why is there not more research done on male cruelty? Why do they do this shit? Why do groups of boys form together to do horrible things to women? Why is my local Target being tormented by a group of teenage boys yelling about sexual assault and rape in the children's section to the point that moms are afraid to go there with their kids? Why do they see innocent people and get glee out of tormenting them? I have never seen the sadistic glee of hurting other random people out of a fellow women like I frequently see in boys and men. Why are they like that?

objectification diminishes brain capacity

self-silencing is making women sick

This is why I get so mad when lefties try to pretend it’s caused by something else.
