Because I Said So

"Because I said so" is the lamest fucking reason for pretty much anything; especially for forcing women to define transwomen as women. So until "because I said so" stops being the rationale for transwomen to force women to hand over their autonomy, I will stand up and speak out for the right to fucking think critically and question what I see, read and hear. "If the abolition of gender destroys you, that’s only because your identity is so tightly coiled within and around an oppressive structure."

COME UP WITH A BETTER REASON THAN "I'M A WOMAN BECAUSE I SAID SO".

unpopular opinion: inclusive feminism is bullshit. feminism is for females and the reason this social movement is the only one that requires the oppressed to be inclusive of their oppressors is because of gender roles forced onto women that we must be accommodating to men at all times and take up as little space as possible. Fuck your male inclusive feminism.

[mercy-against-terfs]

Anyway I hate terfs with a burning passion.

You don’t deserve a safe space.

[aristoclit]

Women you don’t like don’t deserve to feel safe? Yikes

[mercy-against-terfs]

Women who perpetuate the hatred and invalidation of a whole demographic based on their genitals? No they don’t deserve a safe space.

[aristoclit]

Pal we don’t do that also you’re gross and misinformed

[mercy-against-terfs]

Hmm yeah you do that’s literally the basis of your “movement”

Anyway you’re gross and misinformed

[aristoclit]

You’re still gross and misinformed. If you’d like to read about radical feminism, then get back to me, that’s great.

[mercy-against-terfs]

Oh I have. I’ve read extensively, which is 100% why I decided to make this blog. I understand where some of your ideas are coming from. I do. But invalidating trans people is a big red flag. I still think it’s gross. And so are you. If you’re ready to admit that trans women are women, then get back to me, that’s great.

[aristoclit]

How do we invalidate them?

Also no, they are not women. If you knew even basic biology, you’d know you cannot change your sex.

[mercy-against-terfs]

“How do we invalidate them??? Anyway, trans identities aren’t valid.”

[aristoclit]

Define valid

[mercy-against-terfs]

TRANS!!! WOMEN!!! ARE!!! WOMEN!!!

If someone says they’re a woman, they’re a woman!

I’m blocking your ass, Jesus Christ. This is ridiculous.

[b3causeisaidso]

Here's the classic argument. In what other subject are we supposed to just accept what someone tells us without explanation and reasoning?

An entire oppressed class is supposed to accept their erasure because someone SAID SO.

"I'm a woman BECAUSE I SAID SO". "You're a bigot BECAUSE I SAID SO".

When is that EVER an acceptable reason for ANYTHING? Much less the entire silencing of any human born with a uterus/fallopian tubes/vagina?

White men have been dominating the planet for centuries and writing history the way they want to BECAUSE THEY SAID SO.

And now women are supposed to just sit down and shut up, again for the billionth time, because MEN who transitioned into women say we have to JUST BECAUSE THEY SAID SO?

Fuck you.

I will never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever stop talking about my vagina and reproductive organs. If you want me to, well you’re just going to have to fuck off.

I have every right to speak on my health, and my physical health and that of other women will forever be more important than the entitled feelings of men.

So I'll just be scared when I go into a public restroom just like I'm scared all the time in public as a wbw every day anyway. Nbd.

One group of people that get a lot of PTSD are soldiers who have been in combat. You know who gets more PTSD, has higher rates of PTSD? Women who have escaped prostitution. That tells me that the war that men wage against women is actually worse than the wars they wage against each other.

things I’ve learned to say to boys: -you’re not funny -don’t talk to me like I’m dumb -I probably know more about this than you do -don’t fucking talk about her like that -I’m not comfortable with this -I don’t owe you anything -you just repeated exactly what I said -no

Still learning but getting there

Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the Natalie Portman movie about her

"Natalie Portman came to talk to me about this, and we had a very good conversation," says the Supreme Court justice.

The project was stalled for the best reason–Portman insisted on the director being female.

You're just a man-hater

There’s an interesting thing about the myth of feminists being “man-haters,” and that’s that men truly can’t imagine anything, not a single thing, not being about them, can they? Nope, they’d rather imagine us coming after their balls and dicks with pliers and machetes, whilst holding burning torches and signs that say, “Kill all men!” than imagine a movement that has zero focus on them whatsoever. Because being invisible to men is worse than being despised. No, they’d rather have a place within feminism, even if it is just the effigy we burn than have no place at all. That’s because they can’t imagine a world or a movement that does not revolve around them. Being hated is preferable to being completely irrelevant, according to men.

Powerful and authentic stories can increase the resilience of women and organizations.

[mcdyke-deactivated20171112]

you all realllllly need to stop using “open-mindedness” as this idolized state of being that we should aspire to, because all it does is guilt people into accepting everything and not having a mind of their own in fear of being a “prude”. i’m not going to accept things that cause harm to others just because you enjoy them. that’s not closed-minded, that’s common fucking sense.

[thesociologicalcinema]

There’s no evidence that men’s libidos render them incapable of moral behavior, but cultures which reinforce the idea that men have irrepressible sexual urges certainly give men permission to act as if their libido renders them incapable of moral behavior.

A lot of people conceptualize their period as their uterus having a tantrum about there being no baby. I used to do that, too.

Then I found this article about why we menstruate and I realized that’s not what’s going on.

It’s actually my uterus saying, “Look, you don’t want a baby this month. I certainly don’t want a damn baby this month. We’re going to make damn sure there’s no baby this month even if I have to nuke the site from orbit.”

And I think that’s beautiful.

It angers me so much that it's acceptable for gay men to talk about how much they love dick and nobody bats an eyelid but as soon as a lesbian even mentions she likes vaginas suddenly she's transphobic and harassed and people say that she must have penis+vagina sex or she's disgusting and hates trans women. honestly people hate lesbians so much and nobody realises how lesbophobic and creepy they sound when they say lesbians must be open to dick. like it genuinely frightens me.

It all comes back to one simple concept:

Men hate women. They especially hate women who refuse to fuck them.
