i think there are a lot of straight women out there who have pavloved themselves into thinking they're attracted to women. it's classical conditioning meets pornbrain. like the female body is seen as a sexual object, it's inherently sexual, it's often used as a shorthand FOR sex itself and i think some wires get crossed in their brains. and that's why we've got so many "sapphics" out there who won't ever date or fuck women. bc they're not actually attracted to women
The notion that straight people who approach sex unconventionally are comparable to gay people is predicated on a conception of gayness as sexual deviance. Itâs homophobic.
the chain of events in this minute and a half clip is so extremely delightful and funny
I'm sorry, but I have a hard time believing that being trans isn't some form of mental disorder when I constantly hear that their healthy natural body causes so much distress. And that the only supposed way to get rid of that distress is to go on hormones and undergo cosmetic surgery - otherwise, they'll kill themselves.
itâs a language game. itâs actually brilliant in structure specifically because it is designed to exhaust anyone trying to make sense of it.
being trans is the urgent state of belief that ones healthy sexed body (or characteristics) is actually the wrong sex. this places it firmly in psychological distress/mental illness category by definition. however, socially speaking, mental illness comes with safety precautions and treatment standards that do not serve the dominant trans-centric social narrative. to be mentally ill means that, on a social safeguarding level, you cannot be fully trusted with your own bodily safety, autonomy, and depending on the level of clinically significant dysfunction, even your ability to make out reality from fiction, or consent to cosmetic procedures, financial management, treatment plans, and keeping your own med schedule/appointments. from a medical standpoint, this would make gender affirmative hormone replacement and surgical interventions ethically disastrous and high-risk for the patientâs long term well being when compared to the significant risks of the treatments. enter: essence theory.
essence theory is a pseudoscientific/theoretical belief that claims that any noun (a person, place, or thing) has a distinct, distilled selfhood that transcends language and function in causing the noun to be what it is. put simply: âessenceâ refers to a metaphysical âcoreâ of oneself that goes further than language or description can accurately measure or label. using this framework, the dominant trans advocacy narrative uses the psychological distress at healthy body parts as evident âproofâ that the dysphoric personâs core âessenceâ is most correspondent with that of the opposite biological sex.
this explanation (though making no sense and implying that the sexes have fundamentally different âessencesâ, thus reinforcing rigid gender stereotypes) provides a strategic workaround for the trans advocacy narratives to avoid the clinical and ethical implications of treating a mental illness using invasive surgeries and high-risk hormonal therapies, while also providing a socially strong defense against anyone trying to make meaning of this very rough and incomprehensible personal and social narrative. by tying the psychological distress to innate personal âessenceâ and core identity rather than taking the distress as a neurodevelopmental complication, it fundamentally ensures three things at once:
1. that any dysphoric person will see no other valid treatment of their distress other than invasive hormonal and surgical interventions â which converts normal logical questioning from others into an existential denial of oneâs true self, triggering the person to project their desperation, frustration, and psychological torment onto the questioning party
2. that the assertion of gender dysphoria and/or trans identity as a mechanistic mental disorder that should be treated on the level of error (the psychological level) rather than the physical level is taken as an expression of bigotry, rather than an attempt at finding a logical throughline
3. that anyone denying a trans identified person something they feel existentially owed will be instantly dehumanized, vilified, and face the wrath of an extremely volatile, untreated, unstable mentally ill crowd of people who believe their distress is the very essence of who they are
itâs convenient. it gets to be a mental illness, a plane of existence, a transcendental soul-like concept, and a âget out of jail freeâ card all at once. on a systemic level, itâs one of the most elegant systems of dogmatic takeover iâve ever seen. on a societal level, it is arguably more disastrous than forced sterilization or even lobotomy.

Just a sample of some of the insanity in the notes:
Otto Warmbier's family blame his death on the "torturous mistreatment" he received in North Korea.
Hopefully they'll get the Otto Warmbier treatment.
You are all such fuckin dorks and idiots god damn...
dude i used to identify as nonbinary and shit and when people ask me âwhy did you become a terfâ itâs genuinely because i took anatomy as an elective. once you get away from social media and sit down and actually learn what the human body does you realize a bunch of shit tras say either makes no sense or is contradictory to what we understand about the human body
How does advocates saying wrong things disprove the existence of trans people?
What about being trans contradicts our understanding of the human body?
1. Sexual dimorphism is prominent enough that it can be identified in skeletons even after all other cells have rotted away.
2. Every cell in the body has DNA and a sex chromosome. This is necessary because the 2 sexes code for very different endocrine systems (your hormonal systems), which are crucial regulators of all other organ systems. Your skin, heart, lungs, muscles, digestive system, and (of course) reproductive system are all regulated by your endocrine system.
3. All intersex conditions cause variations of male or female sex characteristics. Some people occasionally have both male and female parts, but no one who experiences that is a true hermaphrodite, because the endocrine system only allows one to operate functionally (if either system Does operate, which is not always the case). There is no third type of genitalia or endocrine system associated with intersex disorders. When a person is born with just one chromosome, it is always an x chromosome. It results in atypical female development, not a third sexual state. Thus, transitioning to any nonbinary state is impossible. There is no naturally occurring nonbinary or gender fluid person, the existence of these genders are a social construct made to describe certain personalities.
4. While there are variations in the arrangement of grey matter in the brain, no research has proved that this has to do with sex or self-identified gender. These differences likely has to do with the brains plasticity and responses to environmental stimuli that influence its development. Furthermore, if brain sex was real and could be tested to identify transgender people, ALL people seeking trans healthcare would be required to have brain scans as part of the diagnostic criteria. That does not happen; you can ask your transitioning friends or read interviews of detransitioners.
6. Puberty blockers, HRT, and affirming surgeries all have potentially life-threatening complications associated with them. Despite what the doctors on Ted talk may tell you, puberty blockers like lupron are not safe, they are associated with early onset bone degeneration. Testosterone applied to a female body is associated with an increased risk of post-menopausal health issues like vaginal atrophy. This issue may be mild on its own, but it increases your risk of BV, which is likely what led to Buck Angel nearly dying of sepsis based in his own account of the situation.
These are not healthy reactions to HRT. these are signs of sickness and pain caused by attempting to force incorrect hormone regulations onto cells programmed for a specific set of hormones. I will not describe the complications associated with surgery because when trans surgery goes wrong, it is often very painful and traumatizing for the victims. However, i do think the high rates of complications for all gender affirming surgeries is indicative that it is not actually possible to change your sex. If you wish to learn about how a person's body may reject "gender affirming" surgeries, Please go hear stories of complications directly from trans people because I cannot describe those experiences in a respectful way.
Scientifically, it's just not possible to change your sex. So what about gender? What is gender? It's not your physical body. It's not the structure or function of your brain. When you analyze gender, at the core, it is a feeling. It's an emotion you have. Like any emotion, it is volatile (subject to change -> explains why many people question their identity frequently before and after coming out; explains genderfluid identities; explains detransition). Like any emotion, it is a reaction to your environment.
Many trans people have stressful home environments. Many trans people are victims of CSA or rape. Many young trans people are autistic, and have never been able to fit in with others or correctly follow social rules like gender roles (and if you've ever lived around other people, been to school, been to work, or been outside, then you have been subjected to gender roles, whether you realize it or not). Many trans people are also gay or bi, and may have grown up in an unaccepting community. All of these experiences cause feelings of alienation, feelings of being "wrong" or "abnormal," and detachment from your body. Gender is a way to explain and justify those feelings, because it is easier to change yourself than it is to change an unaccepting community.
reposting this as a summary of all my concerns about trans ideology and a concentrated list of all the contradictions the movement spews. as well as the obvious sociological/psychological explanations of trans dysphoria.
when men try to talk about the physiology of the female body they make it abundantly clear that they think the vagina is just a hole. the vagina is itâs own complex ecosystem but men never bothered to actually learn the intricacies of female physiology because they think their bodies are the default

Iâm so tired of in-fighting feminism discourse. No, every choice another woman makes that you donât agree with is NOT choice feminism. You are just shaming women for doing shit at this point. Pissing me off so bad. I understand that choice feminism does have an actual definition, but the internet has muddied it and turned it into something to berate womenâs regular ass life choices with.
And you are not better than other women for not shaving. Not every woman shaves out of insecurity or to please men. Youâre an arrogant asshole.
You remove your body hair to receive social approval. Thatâs why you cry and whine and throw your toys out of the crib the moment feminists express disapproval of this practice while those of us who donât remove our body hair have been locking in while men call us disgusting and you low key (or high key) agree with them. You do nothing, or worse than nothing, for those of us who disobey men and then you have the bare assed audacity to expect to be centred. Fuck off until youâre ready to behave like an adult.
Choice feminism was originally about the rights to our bodies and our lives. And by our bodies we are talking about birth control, abortion, the right to choose the doctor we want, the right to be celibate, the right to have safe & consensual sex, the right to sue our rapists, the right to talk about our stories, the right to menstrual products, the right to be ourselves naturally, etc.
You know, the choices that men and the patriarchal society shames us for.
I donât feel inherently better than anybody. But I do feel some form of pity when I see women playing catch up. Women that get cosmetic surgeries or procedures, women that walk uncomfortably in high heels, women that basically form their whole personality and interests based on whatâs âinâ right now (which I can go in depth about how a lot of these beauty standards and interests are pushed by menâs own interests in women, but itâs hard to explain), women that spend so much time, money, energy on beauty expenses (nails, lashes, waxing, etc)
Prev blog has a point. Some of us women who donât choose to follow social and beauty standards, *have to* face the brunt of society. By both men and women, specifically women that are strict followers of the patriarchy.
If choice feminism was valid, then people (in general, like stated both men & women), wouldnât make fun of me for not shaving, for not always dressing up, for not doing my makeup, for not liking certain music or other materialist things, etc.
Thereâs two sides of every coin. Yet, once again, us hairy radfems are so mean and evil because we are critical about the âchoicesâ women make!
Just ask yourself. Is it really a choice, if itâs a societal gender expectation. That if we donât make this choice, we are seen as inferior, incompetent, lack of value?
the oppression of a female child begins the moment a doctor looks at a baby's genitals and places an F on her birth certificate. we literally hold babies we think are female differently. they have a concept of sex differences and of assigned social roles based on those differences before they're old enough to form full sentences. that is more important in my framework of who is a woman than a karotype.
Iâm less of a âhow do we teach boys and men to gain consent from their sexual partnersâ kind of fun feminist and more of a nihilistic party ruining âletâs talk about if women are even able to grant meaningful consent in their current social statusâ bog hag kind of feminist
A French online survey with 100,000 respondents showed that 70% of women had had unwanted sex without coercion from their partners. Women are taught that female sexuality is âpassiveâ and sex is about responding to your partnerâs desires while ignoring yours.
âConsentingâ means âagreeing to do somethingâ. It says nothing about whether or not you want to do said thing. The women surveyed did consent. Sex shouldnât be âconsensualâ, it should be wanted/desired.
HALT!âđ
did you remember to express gratitude for not having to subsistence farm today?
Returning to subsistence farming as a society would be better than the capitalist hellscape we live under now. So no.
imma be real with you, thats a dumb as shit thing to say and you dont really believe that
yes it is so much better for us now that we get to subsistence drive for doordash and subsistence amazon warehouse. what could be worse than growing plants that you can eat
profound misunderstanding of all concepts mentioned but i understand your desire to share thoughts on the computer
*likes your post* a great interaction, we are truly bonding
i watch a lot of youtube and something that happens relatively frequently that i find really funny is that somebody will record a video about a pronouned person and they will use the wrong pronouns for whatever reason and instead of going back and refilming, they'll just do a disclaimer about how they messed up and they're not trying to be disrespectful. like even normies left-leaning types think it's goofy. if it really were so offensive and dehumanizing and pronouns were truly so important, wouldn't they want to go back and refilm the video? but no, it's too much work. it really proves just how much people just go along with tra nonsense because it's the easiest path forward.
Women and our interests have always been associated with conservatism, it seems. The concept of 'pearl clutching' is an allusion to women being offended over modern and liberal sensibilities.
I suspect this is because whenever men want to reduce the damage of their rape and violence, they don't know how to do it outside of highly restrictive societal construction. As they are incentivised to ignore the root of the problem, they will always 1. project it onto women, 2. deflect with scapegoats, and 3. create strict social rules in the hope that they can at least make the violence happen elsewhere, or have it hidden from view, so they don't have to look bad, or feel bad, about what they are doing to women en masse.
Conservatives, for example, oppose pornography because they, like the pornographers, believe that sex 'corrupts' women, and they don't want their own female relatives to be corrupted. Meanwhile, feminists oppose pornography because of the material violence committed by men against women within it. But men cannot percieve that women have our own reasoning, so they assume we must align with the male 'conservative' viewpoint. They do the same thing the conservatives do and deflect a male problem - belief that sex, interchangeable with rape, is sinful - onto women, who recognise that there is a difference between consent and rape and simply wish to not be raped.
Women's recognition of moral horrors and our desire to minimise them/be shielded from them is considered 'pearl clutching' because men do not take our claims or morality seriously. They have decided that the violence is a necessary evil, and that morality is not simply a recognition of material harm, but some ethereal and symbolic 'greater good'. The horrific damage caused by men is a nuisance that must be stratified and organised. When this damage is criticised by women, it is understood to be a roundabout way of addressing the same concerns that the conservative man has - and the very fact that women care about actual harm, and therefore we have an emotional investment in the topic, is used as further proof that we are frivolous, unserious, and incapable of making the hard decisions required for leadership. Men, you see, already know that their violence is a problem, and conservativism has its ideological solutions, so everything women say and get upset about is not only redundant but either hysterical or manipulative. The idea that women simply care is never taken into account - because we're all raised to conceptualise the world from a male point of view.
Men have said that prostitution is bad because it corrupts women, so 'swerfs' must secretly agree. Men have said that maleness and femaleness are inherent essences and that the 'feminisation' of society will cause its downful, so 'terfs' must secretly agree. Women are denied a voice at every turn, always assumed to be parroting a much more emotional, manipulative and hysterical version of what men have always said.
