Puberty blockers used to treat children aged 12 to 15 who have severe and persistent gender dysphoria had no significant effect on their psychological function, thoughts of self-harm, or body image, a study has found.1 However, as expected, the children experienced reduced growth in height and bone strength by the time they finished their treatment at age 16. The findings, from a study of 44 children treated by the Gender Identity Development Service (GIDS) run by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust in London, have emerged as the trust prepares to appeal against a High Court ruling that led NHS England to pause referrals of under 16s for puberty blockers.2 The appeal, expected to be heard on …

the study from tavistock findings that the courts forced tavistock to produce, after hiding it for years. they have irreparably damaged kids for no reason- well, two reasons, for profit and for agenda.

[ms-hells-bells]

an article about a review done at the same time by NICE, commissioned by the NHS itself, which funds tavistock (once again, the subject of this review as well) 

https://www.bbc.com/news/health-56601386

not only did they find the few studies on puberty blockers so biased and poorly done that they were essentially useless, but the case was the same with actual “cross sex” hormones as well, there is basically ZERO evidence that transition is the optimal path, that’s it’s even a good path at all, and trans activists are preventing a proper study because “having a control group would mean those kids don’t get hormones and will kill themselves!!!!”. i have an incredibly strong feeling that when faced with such immense evidence that they’re doing more harm than good AND seeing the writing on the wall that they’re in for a hell of a bunch of lawsuits in the foreseeable future, the nhs is going to soon pull funding from tavistock and recommend other paths.

I’ve just read Yaniv v. Various Waxing Salons (No. 2), 2019 BCHRT 222 where the adjudicator ruled that Yaniv, a white trans woman, used human rights legislation to harass and extort immigrant women (primarily south asian women) for refusing to interact with their male genitals in the small waxing businesses these women operated. I wasn’t expecting to find Yaniv’s behaviour relevant to what I have seen and experienced myself on this website on this site as a brown lesbian, but it was. This case went to a hearing, no doubt causing these women an incredible amount of stress, because someone deemed it in the public interest to have these issues explored so a few points on the case and what I think is part of a spectrum of abusive behavior directed at women of colour:

1. The decision asserts that bodily difference exists and matters, and that an individual’s consent is necessary when engaging with another person’s genitals. The decision also explains how this demand to have someone engage with another person’s genitals differs from past demands by other minority groups: because it is fundamentally about violating another person’s sexual autonomy and integrity.

2. The decision notes how Yaniv purposely targeted vulnerable racialized women.

3. And how Yaniv deliberately tried to provoke these women into saying something that could be used to make them feel they had done something wrong.

Look at this interaction:

While some parts of the internet were quick to castigate these women for their “bigotry”, reading the decision reveals that one woman, pregnant with her fourth child and advertising $25 Brazilian waxes in her home, did not cancel the appointment after Yaniv revealed their gender identity, but instead canceled it because she caught on that Yaniv was playing some kind of game and it made her feel unsafe.

4. However Yaniv continued, contacting her employer, getting her Facebook shut down, and trying to contact her through the internet and through her work till she, afraid for her safety, reported the behaviour to the police. Yaniv acted similarly with the other women, determined to harass, punish, and humiliate them.

With one of the women:

5. Yaniv even deemed these women of colour “neo-nazis” at the hearing, and had their mother called to testify on the same issue. Though Yaniv and Yaniv’s mother were targeting and attacking women of colour explicitly and specifically because they were women of colour, they found it okay to call them neo-nazis before the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.

6. I’ve seen people say that the case was about racism, not about trans rights. This is patently false. People of color being cast by white people as inherently conservative, inherently anti LGBT is nothing new. See Dan Savage and Prop 8. The racist’s credo: “This is proof you’re inferior” where “this” can stand for anything, regardless of where on the political spectrum the racist claims to be. Moreover, there is no difference between saying that when women of colour talk about their bodies, experiences, needs and realities, that our perspective is distorted because we come from a diseased and primitive culture, and saying our perspective is distorted because our minds have been polluted and colonized.

7. Trans rights were used to sexually harass vulnerable immigrant women and that should have been the headline. But a white lawyer was asked to comment on the case, and that resulted in this headline in Canadian Lawyer Magazine: “B.C. Brazilian waxing case a step backward for trans human rights cases, says lawyer.” From the article: Smith says the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal had a recent record of wins for the trans community. “This case really overturns that process. And I think it does so because the applicant didn't have the benefit of counsel, which highlights the whole problem of Legal Aid funding for human rights matters in British Columbia and arguably across the country,” they say.

Yaniv, who was found to have knowingly used human rights legislation to harass and extort vulnerable immigrant women (asking for $2500-5000 from each woman in damages, and $500,000 in costs to pressure them to settle) so as to enact their racial animus towards south asian women has been made the victim. The women, whose first language was not English, who worked out of their homes, some of whom needed their husband’s consent to work, who were widely vilified for accepting free legal services from a law group with an admittedly conservative slant in the face of continued harassment are forgotten. Who cares about them and why they were forced to accept such representation against a sophisticated and manipulative predator like Yaniv. Who cares that Yaniv’s complaints went to a hearing because someone decided it was in the public interest to settle this issue instead of being dismissed as it should have been given that it was not only absurd but obviously raised in bad faith, as Suzanne Anton, former Attorney General of British Columbia said. The issue is that Yaniv specifically should have been given legal representation and so maybe won and so been empowered by the Human Rights Commission to continue harassing and extorting immigrant women and inspiring others to do so as well.

8. Truly, no one gives a single shit about women of colour.

[outofspace43]

Yaniv continues to be a disgusting piece of shit who wastes the time, resources, and money of the government in the province where he lives.

He gets off on forcing people who cannot consent but also cannot say “no” to interact with him in intimate situations - firefighters, EMTs, service professionals, etc, including recently calling firefighters over 20 times for assistance “getting out of the tub” and sexually harassing them.  

Anyone who even looks at him in a way he doesn’t like gets sued.  He’s been known to attack people, send death threats, and harass women and girls.  He showed up in a pageant dress with fake breast forms falling out of it to a city council meeting.  Ask yourself: would a woman of color get away with this behavior?  No, but a white man would - and is, right now, simply because he says he’s trans.

This is a man with a tampon fetish.  But “trans” rules say that as long as he says he’s a woman, he is one, and it’s “discrimination” to treat him any other way.  I’d love to hear the TRAs’ take on why this falls under “trans rights” and not “criminal behavior.”

Statistically, the pattern of violence in trans women more closely resembles male patterns of violence- meaning, it is extremely more likely for a trans woman to be violent compared to women. Statistically, trans women are the victims of violence at about the same rate as other males, which means that while male people do experience overall higher rates of violence (it is worth noting that this happens the overwhelming majority of the time at the hands of other male people), specifically sexual violence against females is astronomically more prevalent.

Statistically, the pattern of violence in trans men more closely resembles female patterns of violence than male ones- meaning, it is extremely less likely for a trans man to be violent compared to men. Statistically, trans men are the victims of violence at about the same rate as other females.

And by statistically, I mean that per capita, trans women commit roughly the same amount of violence/are subjected to violence at the same rate as other men, while trans men commit roughly the same amount of violence/are subjected to violence at the same rate as other women. Violence against trans women/men and trans men/women will increase or decrease proportionately based on other factors such as race, sexuality, class and access to resources, but there is never a case where women/trans men are privileged over men/trans women for their gender. There is never a case where trans women will experience or commit different rates of violence than men of the same race, sexuality and class. There is never a case where trans men will experience or commit different rates of violence than women of the same race, sexuality and class. In most cases, being visibly gender nonconforming- not an invisible “gender identitity” was the cause of hate crimes against trans identified people. It’s important to recognize that according to trans politics, gender nonconformity does not mean that one is trans. A GNC person could be considered “cisgender”- so what does that mean for stats on violence against trans people? I’m inclined to say that most trans hate crimes are actually misogynist and homophobic hate crimes. But I digress.

Let’s isolate and compare statistics only within trans identified people. Trans men are still more likely than trans women to be the victims of a violent crime- in fact, according to that study, trans men, female nonbinary people and “cis” women are all more likely to be assaulted than trans women or male nonbinary people (i.e., “transfemmes”). Unfortunately there have not been any studies on trans intracommunal violence which explicitly names both the perpetrator and the victim; however, simply going off of aforementioned statistics with regards to trans women’s rate of violence versus trans men’s, I would venture to say that trans women are more likely to commit violence against trans men (rather than vice versa). Even isolated within trans spaces, trans women follow male patterns of violence while trans men experience female patterns of victimization. The reality of this is obscured through studies that either conflate the experiences of trans women and trans men, or that neglect to inspect patterns of violence between the two.

I have tried to be as clear and concise in all of this thus far, because no one told me these things when I was trans identified. I wish someone had. None of this is hate speech. None of this is cherry picking. These are the statistics that have been backed up time and again. I have not misgendered anyone- however, I would pose a question at the end of all of this that some would consider hateful. If trans men, female nonbinary people and women share an axis of oppression- being female- then wouldn’t it be more helpful to articulate our experiences in common terms? Not in dehumanizing or inaccessible jargon (i.e., “people with cervixes”), not in terms that strip us of our ability to name our own bodies (“frontal holes”), but as women. Women who experience the material reality of our biology in vastly different ways, women who have varied and unique feelings toward our bodies and how we are treated for them, women who dress and act in myriad of ways. Women who are women, not because of how we feel, act, dress, or live, but because we are adult human females. I would also pose another question: is it helpful to call a male a woman who behaves like a male, is treated as a male and who oppresses women like all other males? If you hate read this whole post, I’d encourage you to really consider this before blocking me or replying with the calming mantra “Trans women are women”: who benefits from allowing men to call themselves something they are not? Who benefits from allowing men to redefine the words that describe women’s lived experiences; our reality?

Hey y’all

So the reason I’ve been MIA from tumblr forever now (aside from school starting again) is I’ve been busy making a…

Radical Feminist Online Academic Library!

It’s basically a collection of 900+ up-to-date, quality, peer-reviewed academic journal articles and books (updated as of August 2016) on a whole bunch of subjects relevant to radical feminism. A lot of the articles are libfem/genderist/post-modernist too; the reason I’ve included those also is so readers know their arguments (and the flawed science behind them) and respond appropriately. I’ve attached it here as a 325 MB ZIP file for now until I can find a suitable host for all of them, but there’s a READ ME pdf I’ve created that gives an abstract of each article along with tags/keywords so you can easily search for what subjects you’re looking for (plus a link in the pdf to open each file instead of searching for it in the folder!).

Feel free to signal boost and reblog this as much as possible, and send to your friends! This way we can improve the library for future versions :)

Male-to-Female transgenders are 18 times more likely than women to be convicted of violent crime

Regarding any crime, male-to-females had a significantly increased risk for crime compared to female controls (aHR 6.6; 95% CI 4.1–10.8) but not compared to males (aHR 0.8; 95% CI 0.5–1.2). This indicates that they retained a male pattern regarding criminality. The same was true regarding violent crime.

In other words, MtF’s were seven times more likely to be convicted of violent crimes than women, and just as likely as “cis” males to be convicted of a violent crime.

Duchesne County prosecutors have charged Susan Elizabeth Rye, 60, with three counts of aggravated sexual abuse of a child, a second-degree felony. Rye is accused of sexually abusing a 5-year-old girl on three occasions in 1989 and 1990. Born Randall Donald Rye, court records show Rye had his name legally changed in January 2009.

Janet Mock celebrated a man who decapitated his wife getting getting approved for a “sex change” while imprisoned for life as a victory for trans rights.

A TRANSVESTITE was banned from a shopping centre over claims he sexually assaulted several women while seeking “fashion tips”.

The Psychometric Structure of Items Assessing Autogynephilia

Autogynephilia: A Paraphilic Model of Gender Identity Disorder

Already posted above, but I am writing this again:

Male transgenders (MtF) are 18 times more likely than biological females to be convicted of violent crime. In essence, MtF trans are just as likely as biological males to be convicted of violent crimes.

Shout out to Gender Trender and The Truth About Autogynephilia –most of my research was found on these blogs.

[evolution-thru-revolution-deact]

Hello.

A couple of things that I wished to clear up.

The first being that I acknowledge and believe with all of my heart that MOST transwomen are not violent. This post was not made for the intention to paint transwomen as evil, because as a class of people they are not. I do not want people to get the idea here that being transphobic is okay.

I made this post for a couple of reasons.

The first being that it was very exhausting watching all of those notes pile up on posts that claimed absolutely no crimes have been committed by transwomen against ciswomen–more specifically–in restrooms or other female safe-spaces. That is very dangerous misinformation to be reblogging. The second reason I made this post was because I want people to ask questions. Not just about the myth that transwomen have done no harm–but I want you to question why mainstream media does not seem to cover these stories; sometimes even creating propaganda that denies transwomen doing any harm at all. The third reason is because I am gender-dysphoric myself (afab), detransitioning, and am often ostracized by my own community–especially in regards to opposing bathroom bills.

I do plan on a third update on this, soon.

Edit: I do, honestly, encourage all of you to do your own research and come to your own conclusions, especially about mainstream SOCIAL media. What a mass of individuals in an online environent might believe is the dawn of a new age could very well just be…well, wrong.

Bad, Barbie! Man dressed as doll tried to sexually assault woman in San Diego restroom: cops

STAMFORD, Conn. – A dispute early Monday that began when a woman insulted a man who identifies as a woman and ended with his arrest and her headed to the hospital with facial injuries, Stamford police said.

Even more alarming, in 2012, in Olympia, Washington, female high-school students sharing a college campus swimming pool were shocked to see a naked, 45-year-old male student who identifies as “Colleen” sitting in their sauna. (The police report stated that “she” was exposing “her male genitalia.”)The girls were traumatized and the parents outraged, but college officials said they could not do anything because of state policies against gender-identity discrimination: “‘The college has to follow state law,’ Evergreen spokesman Jason Wettstein told ABC News affiliate KOMO. ‘The college cannot discriminate based on the basis of gender identity. Gender identity is one of the protected things in discrimination law in this state.’”Adding to the insanity is the fact that it was subsequently discovered online that Colleen also identifies as a lesbian and is strongly attracted to women, in other words, just like most heterosexual males. Yet it is perfectly legal for Colleen to sit in a sauna with naked teenage girls.

Man Dressed As A Woman Was Busted While Allegedly Trying To Take Pictures In A Female Dorm 

Two men kidnapped an eight-year-old girl and gang raped her for seven days in Pakistan. They later strangled her.Receiving an anonymous tip about the crime, police raided a bus and arrested the two men, one dressed as a woman. He told the police that “he and his accomplice had abducted five minor girls and killed them after subjecting them to rape.”

Edmonds Tennent Brown IV, a man who identifies as a woman named Katheryn Brown, is seeking state-funded hormone therapy and sex reassignment surgery (“SRS”) while serving a life sentence without parole in a South Carolina prison for the rape and murder of Mary Lynn Witherspoon. Although Brown pled guilty, he now claims he did so “under duress during an emotionally difficult time…likened to PMS.”

Major pharmaceutical industries sponsor WPATH diagnosis change for gender-identity disorder:

TransActive Gender Center, the Portland-based transgender children’s lobbying group that bills itself as “the only transgender youth nonprofit in the country with actual office space,” came under fire last week when it was revealed on GenderTrender that the organization had falsified its status as an independent 501©3 non-profit organization. TransActive announced that it is actually sponsored under the purview of another non-profit organization, which it then refused to name. Their spokesperson further admitted that TransActive had never in their 8 year existence made their financials publicly available as required by 501©3 non-profits under federal law.

Harm done by (presumably) cis males disguised as women:

I include this category to illustrate that it is not uncommon for the sexes (and primarily males) to disguise themselves as the other sex in order to commit violent crimes. The passing of gender-identity legislation would make it easier for males (trans or cis) to commit these crimes. I would like to note that these articles imply (but nowhere factually state) whether the persons “disguised as women” are really trans or cis:

WPATH (governing body of WHO) study: Most cases of childhood gender dysphoria do not continue into adulthood

80% of children diagnosed with GID do not continue to have GID of adolescence or adulthood. One presenter suggested moving to a narrative approach for historical preservation and also emphasized the unethical position around reparative therapy. […]  attaching a medical diagnosis to gender diversity in childhood contradicts WHO’s commitment to respecting rather than pathologizing sexual diversity. Specifically, research indicates it is impossible to reliably distinguish between a gender-variant child who will grow up to become trans and a gender-variant child who will grow up to be gay, lesbian, or bisexual, but not trans.12 As such, by conflating gender variance and sexual orientation, the proposed GIC category amounts to a re-pathologization of homosexuality.

Pornography FAQ (http://catwa.org.au/?q=node/67 ):

How is pornography related to prostitution?

Pornography and prostitution are often thought of as completely separate entities. In many parts of the world, this is even reflected in law where pornography and prostitution hold very different positions; pornography is often privileged as a form of ‘representation’. Pornography, however, is filmed prostitution. Both pornography and prostitution involve the sexual use of women in exchange for money. Often, the only difference between the two is the presence of a camera. Pornography can also be seen to increase the legitimacy of prostitution, by depicting the commercial sexual exploitation of women as entertaining, glamorous and acceptable. In addition, pornography is frequently used by pimps to ‘season’ or train women for prostitution and in a rather cyclical relationship, women used in prostitution are often also used in pornography.

Shouldn’t pornography be protected as free speech?

It is important to note that pornography is not speech but rather filmed acts of prostitution. Pornography is not merely the representation of sex acts, but involves the filming of real sex acts, performed by real people. Arguing that pornography is speech, ignores the realities of how pornography is actually produced and also ignores the harm to women that pornography both generates and reinforces.

Read: Only Words, by Catharine MacKinnon Isn’t porn just harmless sex?

There is no such thing as harmless pornography. Many people believe pornography to simply be sex between ‘consenting adults’ rather than understanding pornography as a multi-billion dollar industry. Pornography is not ‘just sex’, it is a particular construction of sex which involves the commercial sexual exploitation of women for the purpose of men’s sexual pleasure. Pornography harms both the women who are directly abused in the making of it, and also women as a group more generally. It promotes a model of sexuality which is incompatible with women’s equality.“[P]ornography plays an important part in contributing to sexual violence against women and to sex discrimination and sex inequality” - Catherine Itzin Pornography: Women violence and civil liberties. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1992 (p. 1).

Isn’t pornography a good sexual outlet for men?

The idea that pornography creates a useful sexual release for men, assumes that men have uncontrollable sexual ‘urges’ which require an outlet. It also assumes that pornography use is acceptable and healthy. Neither is the case. Pornography use is harmful to the women used in creating it, and pornography creates and reinforces harmful ideas about women, sex and sexuality; for example, that women enjoy or welcome unwanted sexual contact and sexual assault. Rather than reducing the likelihood that men will act out, it creates a culture in which women are increasingly objectified and viewed as commodities. Such a culture helps to fuel, rather than prevent, acts of sexual violence.

Doesn’t opposing pornography make you a prude?

Many people assume that the only reason to oppose pornography is because you find it personally ‘offensive’ or are ‘anti-sex’. Opposing pornography means that you oppose abusive sexual practices that harm women, not that you must oppose all sex. Nor does opposing pornography have to be about arguing that its content personally offends you. From a feminist perspective, it is not necessarily explicitness or the depiction of sex which is the problem with pornography. It is not about offence and decency, but about harm. “What is objectionable about pornography…is its abusive and degrading portrayal of females and female sexuality, not its sexual content or explicitness” – Diana Russell Dangerous relationships: Pornography, misogyny, and rape. Thousand Oaks, CA: Sage Publications, 1998 (p. 5).

What is pornification?

Pornification, sometimes referred to as pornographication or ‘raunch culture’ is the increasing distribution and acceptance of pornography as well as the fragmenting and blurring of pornography and pornographic imagery into popular culture. Pornography and pornographic imagery are infiltrating popular music videos, outdoor advertising, fashion and art to name but a few. While pornographication is sometimes viewed as simply the increasing acceptance of sexual themes in media, it is actually the promotion of a particular model of sex which is harmful to women. The mainstreaming of this type of pornographic sexuality which fundamentally objectifies women, is already harming the development of young women and girls. The American Psychological Association, for example, has linked the rise of this unhealthy model of sexuality to increases in mental health problems such as eating disorders, low self-esteem, and depression.

Pornography and Pornification  

The global industry of pornography is growing rapidly. The business of pornography is now worth in excess of $57 billion worldwide. More than $10 billion is generated in the United States alone. Pornography is an industry which, like prostitution, makes its ever increasing profits from the sexual exploitation of women and girls. Women in both the pornography and prostitution industries suffer abuse and violence. Despite this grim reality, tolerance for pornography is increasing in Australia and many other Western nations. Through the ‘mainstreaming of pornography’ or ‘pornification,’ pornographic imagery and even pornography itself are gaining legitimacy and a degree of glamour and cultural chic. Porn stars are becoming household names, advertising mimics pornographic conventions and poses, and Playboy is not just a magazine but a global brand that markets everything from clothing to stationery. The mainstreaming of pornography is also changing our conceptions of sexuality. Women are increasingly becoming required to perform sex acts straight from pornography in their everyday heterosexual relationships, and the pornographic model of sexuality is harming girls’ and women’s concepts of self. As pornography continues to become more prominent and pornographic imagery becomes more ‘mainstreamed’ we become accustomed to living in a pornified world in which it is acceptable that women and girls can be bought and sold.

Ever wanted to read a feminist text that you’ve heard about online but not known where to find a copy? I know I have! I obviously don’t agree with everything here or endorse the positions of every woman here, but this is a great masterpost imo because of how many links to free PDFs it has! Read and form your own opinions! Access to women’s education for all women!

[carpathxanridge]

i don’t know how anyone can watch as all the girls and full-grown women around them claim nb identities, can read all these comments and the thousands like them on the thousands of tiktok videos exactly like this, and not realize that the answer is that womanhood is in fact... not an identity. it was never something you need to “feel like” in order to be.

some of my favorite (aka the most depressing) comments are “you know it [feeling like a woman] when you feel it. you are comfortable with your assigned gender and sex. you like everything about your gender and sex.” and “for me i think it’s because womanhood is portrayed as docile fragility and i don’t vibe with that” and “yes. it’s like i don’t think about my gender until someone makes expectations of me based upon it.”

"A woman must keep her intelligence small and timid to survive. Or she must hide it altogether or hide it through style. Or she must go mad like clockwork to pay for it. She will try to find the nice way to exercise intelligence. But intelligence is not ladylike. Intelligence is full of excesses. Rigorous intelligence abhors sentimentality, and women must be sentimental to value the dreadful silliness of the men around them. Morbid intelligence abhors the cheery sunlight of positive thinking and eternal sweetness; and women bust be sunlight and cheery and sweet, or the woman could not bribe her way with smiles through a day. Wild intelligence abhors any narrow world; and the world of women must stay narrow, or woman is an outlaw. No woman could be Nietzsche or Rimbaud without ending up in a whorehouse or lobotomized. Any vital intelligence has passionate questions, aggressive answers: but women cannot be explorers; there can be no Lewis and Clark of the female mind. Even restrained intelligence is restrained not because it is timid, as women must be, but because it is cautiously weighing impressions and facts that come to it from an outside that the timid dare not face. A woman must please, and restrained intelligence does not seek to please; it seeks to know through discernment. Intelligence is also ambitious: it always wants more: not more being fucked, not more pregnancy; but more of a bigger world. A woman cannot be ambitious in her own right without also being damned."

Reason #83742 why I hate it when LGBTQ+ are lumped together: I saw a headline a few days ago about doctors in Arkansas refusing to treat “LGBTQ+” patients. But this can mean so many different things! Are doctors refusing to see gay, lesbian, and bisexual patients because of unadulterated homophobia? Are doctors refusing to see gay male patients because of some unfounded fear of HIV - again a form of unadulterated homophobia? Or are pediatricians refusing to prescribe puberty blockers to six-year-olds who play with the “wrong” type of toys? Or are gynecologists refusing to see trans-identified males deluded into thinking that they are female and need those services?

“I cannot help but see the parallels between the religious arguments of the Iranian authorities (soul of a woman in a man’s body) and those of the TRA in the West (feeling like a woman, a feminine brain in a masculine body, being born in the wrong body…) Isn’t this another type of ‘therapy’? I have read some posts by radfems where they explain this theory: when homosexual people who do not fit into the normative gender end up believing that they are trans. Well, as the current Gender Theory is constructed, it does not give rise to the idea of ​​homosexuality, nor does it break with the classic gender stereotypes.

From a distance it gives me the feeling that…in countries where there is a theocracy or a strong religious fundamentalism, they speak of homophobia to your face (as well as misogyny), they do not hide it or try. On the other hand, in the West, they use consumerism: they cover the concept in glitter, they put the stamp of ‘liberation’ on it and everyone buys it. Are we building a new religiosity? Without God but with theories?”

I don’t understand how you can be a grown ass person and not realize how narcissistic, misogynistic, and honestly homophobic it is to identify as “non-binary”

[bad-wombyn]

can I ask why? I’ve come back to this post & I’m genuinely wondering your views on it, like not to be a dick just…haven’t been around the discourse scene for five years so I’m catching up

[gorgonology]

The label “non-binary” suggests that just because you don’t perfectly align with gender stereotypes for your sex, you are suddenly not a man or a woman. It suggests that everyone who acknowledges that they are a woman must perfectly embody stereotyped femininity (or the same with man and stereotyped masculinity). I am a woman who is sat on her couch currently wearing a sweatshirt, pants, and no makeup. Does the absence of a dress, makeup, primped hair, high heels make me suddenly not a woman? If I identify as non-binary, I am essentially suggesting that women are nothing more than the trappings of femininity and anything outside of femininity is not “womanly” and thus if you behave or present in any way that is not feminine, then you must not be a woman (this includes being a female sexually attracted to females - this ties in the homophobia). To suggest that anything other than being female makes someone a woman is misogynistic. It is narcissistic to ID as non-binary because it assumes that your own personal taste and style differentiates you in a super special way from others of your sex. But, for example, my not liking high heels does not differentiate me at all from other women because “liking high heels” is not a defining characteristic of being a woman.

It also implies that women all naturally appreciate and follow these stereotypes but you’re the exception so you musn’t be a real woman. When virtually all women struggle with misogynistic expectations and fight it on some level.

Meanwhile, men use this label to speak over women and pretend they aren’t part of the dominant class (they are actually oppressed by women now! Just call them “cis” women and you’re good.)

As for the homophobia well apparently gay and lesbian people must be open to dating everyone because sex doesn’t actually exist, what exists are nebulous gender identities in your soul, spirit, mind or essence. If you have a sexual orientation you are a bigot and a sex obsessed pervert who doesn’t care about your partner’s personality (since gender is now used as a fancy word for personality).

i love that quote that’s like “gender isn’t a binary, it’s a hierarchy” because it fundamentally changed the way that i approach issues of gender and socialization. men and women are not treated as two opposite-but-equal ends of a spectrum; women are not given some forms of power that men cannot access and vice versa. female socialization is not an arbitrary process that ‘accidentally’ makes women weaker, it has a goal to make women easier to control. which also means that male socialization seeks to empower men in all of the ways that it disenfranchises women.

so how can i ever see gender identity as something…equal or neutral
