So, as an amature photographer, I find the most intimate and sensual thing one can do in their work is tease the "forbidden."
Obviously, it's not forbidden but it's the idea of what lies beyond. A good example of this is the upper thigh in shorter skirts and shorts because it doesn't reveal anything, but it rather envokes the idea of the "forbidden" and whatever that entails in the audience's minds.
And it's not just bodies and human sexuality, but anything that can be alluded to, such as a cracked open door. What's behind it? Was it supposed to be open? Is it dangerous? It gives a sense of wonder and mystery to the viewer. It's even more tasteful when there is a sliver of light coming from the door or a mist coming flowing out.
And when it comes to sex in shows and movies, I find it much more erotic when the camera focuses on the movements of certain body parts and has no music, only soft and quiet audio.
Imagine: the shot is focused on a man dragging his lighlty calloused hand up his partner's side as they kiss.; The shot is focused on a woman's right hand as it slowly travels from her chin to her inner thigh.; The shot zooms in on the intertwined hands of two lovers. NOW, imagine all of that but the only sounds are breathing, small gasps and occasional moans. If they're in a bed or car or closet or even against a wall, it is important to add those sounds. I.e Shoes scuffling pavement, the squeaking of springs, the clanging of brooms and shelves, the soft thud of impact, etc. ALL of those things are so much more intimate and sexy than a straight up sex scene.
I want so bad to direct a film adaption of a book, probably Frankenstein because GOD THE DIRECTION I WANT TO GO WITH IT!

Nothing has resonated with me lately as strongly the 'not like other girls' concept. Because I am like others girls, other women, and that's not a bad thing. It's a great sense of solidarity to make peace with that idea. We as females are irrevocably alike, despite the endless variables between us all. I am me, but I am also you. That's why I know I'll never be alone.
ur not describing ur âgenderâ bestie. thats just called an aesthetic
todayâs reminder that human rights donât come from the goodness of people in powerâs hearts. government acquiesces because they are afraid of what the people would do otherwise.
Hello everyone! Iâm a young Michigan-based radical lesbian feminist whoâs been in the process of organizing a local feminist meet-up group. My main goal is to foster community among local womyn while also promoting deep and meaningful discussion of feminist concepts. This blog is mainly just to get the word out within radblr circles, so please share this so any womyn in the area who may be interested can find us!
We currently have a makeshift website that contains radical feminist basics and resources to learn more, which you can find at radicalkzoo.news.blog. Iâm hoping to completely remodel it throughout the coming months into something more original as we gain more members. We also have a discord server.
If youâre in the area, please donât hesitate to send me a dm, an ask, an email, or whatever youâre comfortable with! Iâd love to get connected :)
The key difference between radfems/gc feminists and trans rights activists is that most of us actually have been on the other side. Most of us have tried to align and coddle these menâs feelings. We know exactly what their ideology is about, inside and out. They on the other hand, have never and will never attempt to see the other side. They ignore and immediately react and yell âterf dogwhistleâ without even being able to tell you the first thing about what we actually believe. We are works of fiction to them at this point
the reason why trans activists hate when people question their movement is because their movement falls apart under questioning.
seriously. just try a couple of thought exercises.
-why is that a trans "woman" living and presenting as a woman (which isn't fully possible since most of the time, they're still clockable as men, but i digress) proof that they're a woman, but a trans "man" spending years living as a woman means nothing?
-why is it that trans "women" supposedly experienced childhoods that were closer to girls than boys, but they still want to relive having a "little girl's childhood" when they transition? didn't they already have one?
-why is it that trans "women" fully understand the danger of being around men when they're faced with using the men's bathroom, but are unable to emphasize with women's fear of men using gender ideology to get into their bathrooms? how come their fear matters, but ours doesn't?
-why is it that radical feminists have to apologize and rationalize every single person who uses gender criticism in a slightly harmful or rude way, but trans people go out of their way to avoid acknowledging the pedophiles, predators, and abusers in their community?
-how come trans "women" are fully allowed to talk about their dicks whenever they want, but women aren't allowed to reference their vaginas-- in medical discussion, conversation, or art-- without being accused of being terfy or transphobic?
-how come trans people constantly threaten gender critical women with actual violence, both sexual and physical, yet believe that our words are violent?
-how come trans activists are allowed to actively encourage young children to change their bodies with drugs and surgeries, but radfems talking honestly about sex is "grooming" kids to become radfems?
-and finally. how are trans activists oppressed when any criticism of them is met with the threat of firing at best, and rape and murder at worst?
those new pictures of ellen page are so tragic bc itâs like girl you could have been dressing like this the whole time.
you didnât have to transition to have this style.
havenât you ever heard of butches?
you could have cut your hair and worn band tees and tank tops and not worn makeup and still been a woman.
hell, you could have shown hollywood that thereâs more than one way to be a woman.
you could have been a role model for lesbians and gender non-conforming women.
instead you gave in to internalized misogyny and lesbophobia, and thatâs really fucking tragic.
this is absolutely the right time for all women, especially feminists, to start standing together. no more pointless arguing and language policing. our rights are getting taken away and we have no time to separate ourselves and go against each other

*DONâT REPOST*
Things I support:
dysphoric people (trans or not)
getting dysphoric people access to better healthcare
getting transitioning people access to better healthcare
getting trans people healthcare which presents treatment for dysphoria and transition as options and does not pressure anyone to do anything
scientific research into the health risks and long-term effects of various aspects of transitioning (binding, hormone therapy, psychological patterns, etc.)
safety and autonomy of trans people
detransitioned people
Things I do not support:
males in female spaces
female spaces being compromised into free-for-all âgender neutralâ spaces (while male spaces are left untouched)
medically transitioning children
lesbians & gay men have to be âopen toâ dating transwomen/transmen respectively or theyâre transphobic
lesbians & gay men should âre-examineâ their âgenital fetishesâ (i.e. DIY conversion therapy)
presenting medical transition as the only route for dysphoric people
pressuring dysphoric and/or gender-nonconforming people to identify as trans
erasing gender-nonconforming women like joan of arc from womenâs history by claiming they were transmen
erasing gay figures like marsha p. johnson from gay rights history by claiming they were trans
rapists, murderers and predators who hold (or held) positions of influence in the trans movement (biko, rivers, alok, etc etc)
âcenteringâ males in female reproductive rights
silencing female issues to cater to transwomenâs feelings
silencing victims of male trans people in the interest of ânot making transwomen look badâ
violent and/or intimidating protests, no-platforming, other intimidation tactics, as an attempt to ban womenâs writing, silence womenâs dissenting voices, and erase womenâs achievements
people identifying as trans based on gender stereotypes, outdated notions of âbrain sex,â or nebulous feelings rather than sex dysphoria
transwomen being allowed to pretend they were not socialized male
transwomen being allowed to pretend they do not, and have never held male privilege
transmenâs experiences with female socialization and sex-based oppression being silenced and transmen being thrown under the bus in order to make the previous two points appear legitimate
pushing false statistics, lies, and strawman arguments to demonize anyone who questions trans theory
âTERFâ
subsequent TERF witch-hunts, block lists, demanding that no one so much as hear what radical feminists have to say and instead blindly accept a strawman version of what we believe
ostracizing and bullying of anyone who expresses curiosity about radical feminist ideas, reveals that theyâve read radical feminist blogs, or so much as reblogs memes from radical feminists
denial of basic biology
denial of basic sociology
denial of sex-based oppression
Hot take, but I think radblr needs to hear it:
There shouldnât be so much shame in re-identifying your sexuality after you have done some serious questioning.
There have been a few handfuls of women on here who identified as lesbian and later came out as bi, or vice versa.
I understand how, outside of the lesbian and bisexual communities, thatâs harmful, but we are in this together and frankly the women who go through this get too much hate.
Yes, itâs irritating. Yes, it can paint a bad picture of us. But Iâd think female solidarity comes before this.
The women who do this soul searching, who rip themselves apart, go over their past, relive their trauma, only to feel fear at living, speaking, and identifying properly because a bunch of so-called radfems get pissy that, oh no, people change! People sometimes donât know who or what they are! People can have trauma that causes them to identify a certain way!
You accept detransitioned women, acknowledging many transitioned to escape oppression or trauma, but you canât do the same to just... not be a shithead to women who had difficulty with understanding and labeling their sexuality?
In light of the stuff regarding badfem, too, you can say âyeah I figured that much...â and sure thatâs rude but good fucking god yâall went insane. Unhinged. The cruelty towards her was insane. It makes you no better than her at her worst.
The way you all treat women who reidentify their sexuality after coming to a better understanding of themselves is fucking disgusting. How dare you call yourself a feminist only to turn around and be so unimaginably cruel to other women?
Iâm not saying someone who deliberately IDâd as the wrong sexuality go gain access to their spaces is a good person, but for fucks sake itâs not that hard to not be a shitty asshole. Itâs not that hard to say âhey this really could hurt our community so please be aware of that, but I appreciate you being truthful and no longer pretending to be something youâre notâ
You can say you dislike someoneâs actions without throwing away your humanity for a few wokie or rudefem points.
Not to mention the sheer amount of young radfems- those under 25- who donât have a ton of life experience, who have grown up in a neoliberal vs conservative environment, who were often part of the trans cult, who have faced more trauma from male peers, have been groomed by society, forced to adapt to pornified world... itâs not surprising that so many young women mis-identify themselves because the lines have been terribly blurred, women on all sides of the political spectrum are facing oppression and cruelty, that so many women are trying desperately to escape their innate or true sexuality.
Straight women face abuse from radfems on here, called fuck cattle, dick worshipers, and handmaidens. Add to this porns sexualizing effect on bisexuality/lesbianism, and yeah, youâll get a handful of straight women identifying as Bi. The answer is not to make radical feminism more hostile to straight women!
Bi women face shit from literally everyone on here, but most notably lesbians on radblr. The attempt to discard their attraction to men, coupled with the cruelty towards bi women, yeah a lot of them are gonna ID as lesbian to escape that! The answer is not to be more hostile to bisexual women and febfems
There are NGS lesbians, who have often already faced trauma, who have already hated themselves, and felt that disgust, have IDâd as bi or straight, and yet gold star puritans come out of the woodwork to be assholes to them. Yet again, the solution is not to make this community more hostile towards them!
If you want to stop women from falsely identifying as an inaccurate sexuality, the answer is to be accepting and supportive of women taking the time to understand themselves and/or potentially experiment. The answer is NOT to fucking shame and silence women who are struggling to properly identify themselves because of shitholes like you, not to mention the nightmare that is queer and trans politics, AND conservative and right wing bigotry.
Radical feminism is supposed to be a haven for women to find safety and community in a quest for female liberation. Itâs not supposed to be a circle jerk of some women thinking theyâre better than others for something out of their control!
For fucks sake, it is not that hard to grasp!
