no terfs allowed in the... radical feminism subreddit??
Tumblr is like
“Radfems are so evil and stupid because of (insert complete misunderstanding of radical feminism here)”-20,000 notes
A radfem actually explaining what we believe and why - almost never more than 1000 notes
you don’t need porn to express your sexuality there are a lot of other ways to do that. also porn affects everyone and im not surprised that someone who calls himself “doggygirl” doesn’t want porn to be banned cuz he’s obviously a porn addict.
"OP is a terf" is a thought-terminating cliche meant to keep you from questioning the status quo and keep you afraid of being labeled a heretic should you come to your own conclusions about anything.
It's so crazy to me when people r like "lets spam terf tags for pride month!!!" and their go-to method is spamming porn??? Or they r like "if a TERF ever tells me to get out of the women's bathroom I'll pee on her!!! Suck my dick TERFs!" because its like ok so ur response to women disagreeing with you is.... sexual harassment?
Like you realize that's what that is right? Forcing people to see porn? Or threatening them with sexual activity? You know what that's called, right? And then you wanna say "they are fake feminists, we are REAL feminist!" The 'real' feminists go-to method for people they don't like is sexually harassing them. Okay. How!! Unique!
anyways i say this because most radfem tags are spammed with porn right now so ion wanna see anyone gaslighting me "thats literally never happened show me one time that happened" just visit terfisaslur.com
Things typically made for women (ex. high heels, bikinis, mini skirts) are designed to be impractical and humiliating btw. I don't think most people realize how demeaning they look, because we are so used to seeing them on women. We are so used to seeing women in the tiny micro thongs at the beach, having to be careful not to move around too much so that they don't accidentally flash everyone. All while men get to wear the comfortable, covering shorts, that allow them to move as much as they want, climb up rocks, and run without having to double-check whether their fucking balls are hanging out. The comparison looks ridiculous. Just another example of women having to perform in every aspect of their life, even when doing activities as innocent as swimming.
Being strangled for just 15 seconds can lead to an increased risk of strokes, seizures, loss of bodily functions, and potential death days after the incident.
Normalizing strangulation as a kink is harmful. It's putting men's pleasure above women's safety.
Italy outlaws international surrogacy and its spun as a loss for gay rights. I hate this. Surrogacy isn’t illegal for just gay couples, it’s illegal for everyone under this law. It’s just that gay couples may have a harder time breaking this law.
No one has a right to a baby. No one has a right to use a woman’s body.
This is not about “targeting gay fathers”. It’s about protecting the rights of the women surrogacy exploits.
gender is a conservative made social construct btw. It has no purpose besides keeping women subordinate and dependant and making sure men join the military. It s not an identity, it s a method of oppression, and you are falling for it head over heels. Don't make it harder on yourself to leave one day. There's a good chance you'll need to. Radical feminists often criticize the liberal feminist approach to sex work for not addressing the root causes of exploitation. While criminalizing sex work without further support systems can harm workers, radical feminists argue for a broader restructuring of society to provide alternatives. By focusing on creating safe exits from the sex industry, they emphasize the importance of long-term solutions that protect women from exploitation while challenging the economic systems that perpetuate it. On one hand, we are told to express ourselves, to open up, yet the moment we do, our feelings are met with skepticism, even ridicule. "Who hurt you?" they ask, not out of care but as if our pain is something to be dismissed. Men, in particular, seem almost repelled by the vulnerability they claim to want. There s an underlying reason for this pattern, but the question remains: why? Men 's attempts to undermine women 's safety measures are often rooted in a desire to maintain control. When women take steps to protect themselves, men may belittle these efforts, suggesting that they are ineffective or unnecessary. This behavior reflects a deeper discomfort with women asserting their autonomy and independence in a world where male dominance often depends on women 's vulnerability.

I remember arguing with this trans-identified female before I was full-on gender-critical. I had asked her why it wasn’t enough for her to just express herself however she wanted. As in, why wasn’t it enough for her to cut off her hair, wear masculine clothing, go by a masculine name, etc. Why did she have to go one step further and misogynistically claim that the aforementioned characteristics meant she was no longer a woman? Because as she had described it, gender dysphoria was indeed an issue of self-expression first and foremost—not an issue of linguistics.
She responded by saying that even if she self-expressed in a masculine manner, being called a woman would still give her dysphoria due to the stereotype of women being feminine. Essentially, it bothered her that others would associate the word woman with femininity. So then I asked how we would ever deconstruct those associations if masculine women like herself continued to deny their womanhood, and continued to insist that their masculinity meant they were actually men. She never responded after that.
What was most intriguing to me, is that she had no issue acknowledging that her sex was female. With that in mind, I had attempted to explain that whether she called herself a transgender man or a gender-non-conforming woman, in most people’s minds that simply translated to being a masculine female. And again, if she had no issue acknowledging that she was a masculine female, then why couldn’t she just as easily acknowledge that she was a masculine woman? Round and round the questions went.
We need more teachers to shed light on the trends they’re seeing in young girls, good or bad.
A teacher on here said that in her school, girls as young as eleven are now using anti-aging skincare products. Another teacher said half the girls in her class now identify as trans. And I’ve seen multiple teachers talk about how girls are outperforming boys across the board, to a ridiculous degree.
I’m very curious to know what else teachers are noticing.
The context behind this tweet is that a TIM beat up a woman…
I still find it crazy that before my radfem days, I was told that being a woman meant identifying with the socialised gender of womanhood… like? who the fuck identifies with that?
I never thought ‘oh yeah, the oppressed gender - sounds like something I want!’
Seems like the only people that want that is.. transwomen.. and those tradwives I guess
Trans people always have and always will exist and it doesn’t hurt anyone one bit! Incredible!
If you acknowledge that gender is a social construct, you must also acknowledge that your gender identities are entirely contingent on that social construct.
In other words, your gender identities are also socially constructed—they’re not innate characteristics the way being female, black, homosexual, or disabled are innate characteristics that exist independently of any social customs or theories.
So no, trans-identified people have not always existed and will not always exist. Trans-identified people have only existed and will only exist so long as the social construct of gender exists. This is like claiming Christians have always existed and will always exist, when in reality Christians have only existed and will only exist so long as the concept of Christianity exists.
Furthermore, if you acknowledge that gender is an oppressive social construct that ascribes feminine expectations to female people and masculine expectations to male people, if you acknowledge that gender is the reason female people were confined to the domestic sphere and denied their most fundamental rights, if you acknowledge that gender is a system created to reinforce female subjugation and male domination and not just a fun, quirky little way to express yourself, then it’s not hard to comprehend that any ideology which hinges on the continued existence of this sexist social construct is inherently regressive and harmful.
Something that’s crazy about me becoming a TERF is that I was actually trying to become a better trans rights activist.
My family are transphobic and I was not. Some of their questions I couldn’t answer. In particular, the famous “What is a woman?” I searched twitter posts and tiktoks and every TRA definition just sounded misogynistic as fuck. Until I kept scrolling and found posts by TERFs that just clicked something in my brain.
I had also always had views of a gender abolitionist. Combining this with my TRA past I even considered if that meant I was non-binary, because I didn’t match with this socialised version of ‘woman’. But I never felt comfortable with a non-binary identity because I am perceived as a woman, I suffer from being a woman, AND SOCIALISED STEREOTYPES ARE NOT WHAT MAKES A WOMAN.
I couldn’t continue debating and defending trans people and gender ideology anymore as all I could hear was myself as a misogynist. I knew the world would be a better place with gender abolition rather than gender liberation. I came to the realisation that gender ideology enforces the socialised gender binary that was designed to oppress women.
Great post. I had a very similar experience. I just genuinely cared about trans issues and wanted to better understand the arguments. I also found myself completely stuck at the question of what gender is, or what it means to be a women. The idea of gender as identity just makes no sense. The idea of it as social roles is misogynistic. I realized it that it was obvious that we are referring to sex. I too had already encountered and sympathized with gender abolitionism, and had wondered if I was non-binary (under the TRA model). It is crazy that we have had the answers this whole time, but the mainstream distorts them to the point that we are moving backwards.
gendies yet again discovering that gender is fake and most people's "true selves" don't align with the strict boxes we've created BECAUSE SAID BOXES ARE FAKE
