"We're just making up for the girlhood we never got to have!!"

My friend who left her Amish order at age 19, who was the eldest daughter to a family of nine, who never had a birthday party, whose days of cooking and cleaning and farm labor and taking care of her younger siblings started at 4:30 am, has never felt the urge to do ageplay

My coworker, who raised her violent younger brother and fended for herself in a filthy double-wide trailer where her parents were either gone or raging drunk at home, who couldn't even dare to invite a friend over because of how horrifying her home life was, has never felt the urge to have a slumber party pillow fight

My neighbor's mother, who grew up as a house girl in southern India, who was born into a life of drugery and hiddenness and abuse, who wasn't allowed to even touch the toilet or dining utensils of the house she was forced to work in for 10 hours a day as a child, has never felt the urge to drink out of a Disney princess sippy cup

MTFs do not want to experience girlhood. Girlhood as we lived it would have made these pampered, whiny, milksop men kill themselves. They want to live in the sexualized schoolgirl anime that was contrived entirely in the minds of men. None of us got to experience that girlhood, and yet none of us are desperately trying to recreate it as adults now.

"Parents usually try to protect girls more and dress them in pretty dresses" — yes, because for centuries, women's lives depended on whether the rich rapist would like them and buy them or not. Woman were literally raised for sale like cattle.

Just remember that "princesses," contrary to the stereotypes about their pampering, were mere bargaining chips. They were artificially pushed out of power, driven back to tea parties and dress fittings, because their primary function was to be sold and then regularly subjected to sexual and reproductive violence.

Your idea of womanhood or girlhood is literally built on the propaganda of misogynists (who don't want to lose the opportunity to rape women so they block women's right movement) and the mockery of femicide. Just think about that twice.

My lived experience is that I am a woman because I was born female, and it has affected the way people have treated me from the moment I was born. The lived experience of 3.5 billion women is that they are women because they were born female. To try and demand that we deny this reality, our own lived reality, because it doesn’t validate the feelings of a small handful of males who have decided (in the absence of any evidence) that the way they feel must be the way women feel, and therefore they are women, and therefore “woman” is a feeling independent of the body? To demand that 3.5 billion women pretend their bodies have nothing to do with their experience of womanhood because it doesn’t include this tiny minority? That’s gotta be Peak Mansplaining. They are literally mansplaining womanhood to women, projecting their own beliefs about womanhood (warped by their own perceptions and experiences as the oppressor class) onto themselves and onto every woman on earth. How has anyone, especially any woman, been convinced to go along with this?

White transwoman in plain English: I'm sexually attracted to misogyny. I think being raped is the epitome of femaleness and if I'm being perfectly honest, it would be extremely validating. Sexual degradation not only affirms my womanhood but my sense of being as a woman. When I get catcalled or disrespected for my feminine appearance I get an erection. To be honest this compulsion of mine to feel small and powerless is what drove me to start identifying as a woman. Libfems using every coping mechanism imaginable to suppress their common sense: TERFs wouldn't get what she's saying, she's a feminist philosopher venting about the complexities of womanhood. When she says the thought of being raped makes her cum the hardest she's saying exactly the same thing Andrea Dworkin and many feminists once said about gender-based violence. What she's saying is SUPERRR DEEEP and complex and is basically the essence of feminism but terfs are too stupid to see. Sad really. She's basically the female Socrates that's why people can't get what she's saying.

Radfem- While I think trans people should get the support they need, it's not acceptable to deprioritize the role biological sex has played in female oppression for thousands of years in every corner of the globe. Validating individual gender identities cannot be the #1 feminist priority. Libfems: See sounds innocent on the surface but what this person really means is they want all trans people dead. They're also implying every woman is just a walking-talking vagina. And if you look closely the subtext of what they're saying is that the only way to be a woman is to be a Christian trad wife who has nine babies and that every woman's name should be Caucasian Uterus.

Calling this a strawman would be an insult to scarecrows everywhere.

"I refuse to listen to women talking about their lived/ observed experiences because they challenge my world view and identity as an 'ally'. also I am literally incapable of not proving the point of the original post."

anyway here you go bozo:

correction, the writer's name is Jacob Tobia and the article has since been removed from Playboy's site, but here is an excerpt:

"Yet, here’s the rub: if sexual objectification is so categorically awful, then why do I want it so badly?In my academic and feminist training, I’ve been told over and over again that sexual objectification is bad. The thinking goes like this: women around the world have been treated as sexual objects instead of people. Women who, in the course of trying to run a board meeting, have been hit on by their colleagues. Or, during a job interview, have been sexually harassed. Women who have had their brilliance diminished by solely placing value on their bodies. Women whose day-to-day experiences have been marred by unwanted sexual attention, catcalls, leering looks and once-overs. This type of sexual objectification is seriously dehumanizing; it reduces women and feminine-of-center people to objects, flattening out who we are and taking away ownership of our own bodies. As such, my feminist training taught me that sexual objectification is categorically undesirable, categorically patriarchal. Therefore, we must fight against sexual objectification in any form and create a world where no one is sexually objectified again. Yet, here’s the rub: if sexual objectification is so categorically awful, then why do I want it so badly? The idea that being seen as a “sex object”–at any time, ever–is universally a bad thing is too simple, like many tenets of straightforward, non-intersectional feminism."

“At a clinic in Anand in northern India, women give birth to Western children. White women’s eggs are inseminated with white men’s sperm, and the embryo is implanted in the wombs of Indian women. The children will show no traces of the women who bore them. They will neither bear her name nor get to know her. After giving birth to the children, the Indian women surrender them. They sign a contract and receive between 2,500 and 6,500 USD the moment they give up their responsibility for the child they just gave birth to. For the women, most of whom are poor and from nearby villages, the payment can be up to the equivalent of ten years’ salary. The buyers are typically American, European, Australian, Japanese, or wealthy Indians; they are childless heterosexual couples, homosexual men, and single men… With traditional surrogacy, the industry had been limited to the Western world. An Indian mother would have meant a child with Indian features. But suddenly, through the miracle of modern technology, it became possible for an Indian woman to give birth to a white child. Thus, Americans could pay two-thirds less than for surrogacy in the USA and still come home with their “own” child, even though it had spent nine months in an Indian woman’s body. Embryo transplantation also impacted on American courts’ judgments in the child custody cases. In one case from 1993, almost identical to “Baby M”—the mother had second thoughts after the birth and wanted to keep the child—the judgment was that she was not the child’s mother. She “was not exercising procreative choice, but was providing a service.” Because the egg wasn’t hers, the pregnancy wasn’t motherhood but a “service”; therefore, she had no rights to the child she gave birth to. This has now become standard practice in the USA, and even when the egg belongs to a third woman—a so-called egg donor—custody is granted to those who paid for the child.”

and for anyone who wants to say that “these aren’t real” or these “aren’t actually used” they are. They truly are.

there’s even a wiki detailing some of the symbols here

these child love symbols (girl and boy) have been recognized by the FBI and there is a video about its origins

I have a question, if you don’t want to/can’t answer maybe one of your followers can. I keep seeing that men who claim to be women are ultimate misogynists or are displaying misogyny. Can you help me understand how or why? It makes sense to me and I believe it but something is not clicking for me.

The foundational principle of patriarchal ideology is that 'man' and 'woman' are not merely neutral biological realities but rather representations of pseudo-spiritual categories; this is, of course, retroactive justification for the oppression of women. It is claimed that 'woman' is a type of person who not only has a vagina, uterus etc. but also is more caring, frivolous, emotional etc. - very useful beliefs to have if you want to force women into continuous pregnancies and out of wider society. If you want to combat the oppression of women, you have to deconstruct patriarchal beliefs, and it's impossible to do this without recognising the class of people being oppressed and why they're being oppressed. Trans activism ostensibly wants to acknowledge misogyny but doesn't want to put the work in to dissect that fundamental patriarchal belief in the origin of sex stereotypes; instead, they find themselves agreeing with the patriarchy that the body is lesser than the spiritual self, and so sex stereotypes exist but not even associated with sex.

Trans-identified males do not have neutral female sexed bodies, nor do they experience the misogyny that women with such bodies are pushed into - but they do however recognise the sex stereotypes and identify with a romanticised version of them; something they're able to do much more freely in a society where women experience relative freedom. They get to roleplay an aesthetised version of our oppression without actually being oppressed. Women in our society are 'free' to engage in the consumerist practice of buying and wearing clothes and makeup, as well as undergoing plastic surgery (to 'affirm' our identities within a capitalist system that entrenches hierarchy and enforces this patriarchal belief that there is an 'identity' above and beyond our mere biological, material reality); so, then, male people get to indulge in such practices without ever needing to consider why they get to be the default whereas women have to decorate and modify ourselves in order to receive societal respect - male people get respect by default, and they are completely oblivious to that.

Additional, most - if not all, at this stage - trans-identified men are heavily influenced by pornography, which - no matter what conservatives pretend to believe otherwise - is the ultimate expression of what patriarchal ideology believes about women: that we lack souls, that we are inherently corrupted by our needy, consuming, leaking, animalistic bodies, and we need to be 'tamed' by men sexually - that under the surface, no matter how much we play pretend at being fully human, women are fundamentally 'whores'. Men who are both detached from their biological reality and also experience guilt/cognitive dissonance over their dehumanisation of women facilitating a desire to rape, see a certain appeal in the 'freedom' their beliefs ostensibly offer women.

This belief that women are more 'free' in their base, animalistic nature is something share across all systems of oppression: rich people are envious of the 'simple folk', white people believe in the 'noble savage' stereotype, disabled people are subject to being perceived as inherently more 'pure' than the 'able-bodied'. So, then, male people, enchained by having an ego based in their sense of cultural superiority over animalistic women, romanticise the female experience, especially the sexual and romantic ones.

This is also how sexed roles are sold to women under patriarchy: being surface-level creatures incapable of deeper appreciation of life means that women get to experience child-like joy and enjoy aesthetics; being weaker and caring, women get to experience avoiding fighting in wars and men will claim 'chivalry' over not hitting women; engaging in bdsm gives women a 'freedom' to not have to make life decisions or think too much about what they actually want out of life; and, of course, unburdened by supposedly not having a desire to rape/forcibly impregnate, women are 'free' to be animalistic during sex, especially as we lie there and experience pleasure, writhing and screaming with multiple orgasms, and men have to 'perform' in order to 'please' us, which is something they use to contribute to their ego and brag about to other men. Men's belief that they have to sacrifice some sense of lightness and freedom in order to think more deeply and make the 'tough decisions' is the exact same principle as the 'white man's burden' - the belief that the oppressor has to take an adult-like responsibility over the unwashed mashes, the children of the world, imposing restrictions, punishment and order.

This, of course, is all a flimsy pretext in order to commit violence, exert control and extract resources. And men deep down know this, or else they wouldn't go to such lengths to protect each other as a class. And with women in modern western society not submitting to men, there is no 'reward' at the end for a lot of these men. So for many of them, they see how they're 'forced' to construct this male ego without women 'playing along', and as such being a woman is seen as enviable - privileged, even. Trans-identified men are not particularly shy about this; trans spaces are littered with overt misogyny and the belief in 'cis privilege', and the term 'TME' (transmisogyny exempt) is a dogwhistle to 'cis' women, with some TIMs overtly stating they believe cis men to be 'TMA' (transmisogyny affected) because they have the potential to be closeted transwomen. TIMs have appropriated feminist terminology to both gain legitimacy and undermine the legitimacy of actual feminism, and 'transfeminism' is getting increasingly bold with this; their belief is that hatred of trans women as 'failed males' forms the basis of misogyny itself, of course deliberately obfuscating the fact that male people constructed this idea to justify the oppression of women.

I don't know if i would say that transgenderism is the 'ultimate expression of misogyny' because I find that a reductive concept, but I do think it is perhaps the most convert, insidious and insulting expression of misogyny, in its embrace of sex stereotypes as a foundation of defining womanhood, in its denial of sex-based oppression, and its appropriation of feminism.
