When people are saying that lesbianism is being “gatekept” I picture some very sad, very tired Amazon warriors, leaning on their spears.

“For the last time,” they keep repeating to the puny human males around them, “there is only one requirement to enter the Pussy Palace”.

Date a terf who is sick of white genderists calling her white names bc they think their white savior pronoun games matter on a global stage

exactly. i see way more white genderists than those of color say stuff like “terfs are worse than white supremacist” like who are you to decide that? and most of the time they do it to distance themselves from white people and get ally points without actually doing anything. not to mention it’s incredibly insensitive and trivializing.

new requirement for politicians: if you cannot correctly answer a page of 10 factual questions about a subject, you don’t get a vote. for example, while voting about birth control, if you don’t know anything about the menstrual cycle, you shut up. the vote goes to the people and you get put in the shame chair, which is for babies who make decisions before reading a fucking book.

[rejecting-the-gender-cult-blog]

name the problem

Men are using gender theory to avoid accusations of misogyny when abusing/insulting women online. Having ‘they/them’ on your Tumblr/Twitter is the ultimate get out of jail free card. You can be outed as a literal paedophile, yet the comments will just be ‘erm yeah sweety this person may be a paedophile but they also use they/them pronouns? And you said him? You’re literal trash lol bye.’ Men whose one sop (sic) to feminine appearance is wearing eyeliner or nail varnish are now accusing women of 'trying to kill them’. Yeah, a white suburban teen who borrows his sister’s makeup is truly at a risk of violence (from radical feminists, of course, not men) on a par with that of a trans sex worker in Brazil. How silly of me not to realise this. Women who are all 'Kill all men! Misandry!!!’, yet will defend the most manly looking, misogyny/racism/homophobia-spouting man if he claims to be a woman. 99% of feminist spaces have been taken over by trans debate. Violence has been redefined as 'was a bit mean to me on the internet once’ (and of course, rape threats/death threats to radical feminists aren’t violent at all.) 'Terfs have caused the deaths of over 50,000 trans women’ - what? I’ve seen intelligent grown women reblog this unquestioningly - how on earth can they think that’s true?

A metaphor for men who would be Feminist Allies

Feminism is a house.

A house built by women, all the things in it were made or bought by women, women pay the gas and electricity bills, they stock the fridge, they do the cooking and the cleaning and the washing. If the roof leaks or a tap drips it is fixed by a woman and the people who live there are all women.

As a man and a Feminist or Feminist Ally, you are a guest.

It is not your house, you did not build it or buy it, nothing in it was bought or made by you or for you. You do not pay the bills and you do not run the household.

Sure being there has lots of good things for you, you are enjoying it’s hospitality, using it’s towels and shower, getting fed.

But it isn’t yours.

And as a guest you should behave with respect towards the house and its owners. You don’t critique the decor or complain about the food.

And as a guest, you are there out of the kindness and generosity of your hosts, and you can be asked to leave at any time, even for a reason which you don’t agree with, because it is their house, and you are a guest.

What men in Feminism so often do is treat it like it is their house. You walk in the door and start complaining that none of the post is addressed to you and that none of the shoes left by the door fit you. You insist that everyone watches your TV shows and demand that the owners make space on the shelves for you books and DVD’s. You tell the owners that the kitchen should be painted white instead of yellow, and then get out the paint and brushes and start re-decorating without asking permission. And then you ring up the utilities supplier and try to get them to change the name on the account to yours.

And then women stop you and say “This is our house, treat it and us with respect”.

And then you tell us that we should be grateful that you are here in our house, sleeping in our guest bed, eating our food and sitting on our sofa.

And sometimes you storm off and out of the house, slamming the door on the way, and then stand outside throwing mud at the windows, because how dare we decide what goes on in our own house and who inhabits it?

You are a guest in a house built by and for women. Remember that.

Treat us and our movement with respect, do not demand entry to it, any more than you would demand entry to someone else’s home. 

This house that we have built is the only place that we can be safe.

You have the whole world outside.

Tampons should be free :) why arent they free :) why are condoms free at clinics but not tampons :) why is society constructed in a way that degrades women by taxing and capitalising on our bodies and that treats us like 2nd class citizens :) men couldnt handle a DAY of heavy bleeding and crushing pain like we do every month :)

engagement rings ranked by their ability to break someone’s nose

a pretty standard arrangement for engagement rings. a raised stone is better than nothing. 3/10

a lovely, simple, elegant wedding band. a classic anybody would be pleased to get married with. useless in a fight. 0/10

huge. tacky. kinda pretty tho. but look at that raised diamond in the center. you could easily break someone’s tooth with this. 7/10

also huge and tacky. at first glance you’d think the rounded edge might not cause much damage but look at how those rows of diamonds are raised in the second view. you could really rip up someone’s face. 9/10

this one is almost elegant. no sharp edges, but it’s solidly built. you would cause more damage with the ring on than off, which is a solid basis for choosing an engagement ring. 5/10

a lovely design, i enjoy open filigree. however im not sure how said filigree would stand up to the impact of being slammed into someone’s face. 2/10

the twisting design is pretty, but im not entirely sure that socking someone in the jaw wouldnt break off those stones. it looks somewhat reinforced but do you really want to leave the Punching Power of  your engagement ring up to chance? i wouldnt. two raised stones tho. 6/10, pending experimentation

HAHAHAHA holy shit. thats Five raised stones, with reinforced prongs, for maximum damage at any angle. i highly recommend this ring both for its sapphire centerpiece and its capacity for causing pain. 10/10

there’s not even a stone, its just gold which aint exactly the hardest metal in the world. just fucking stay home if you’re not going to take this seriously.

Just a reminder to those on Tumblr who practice witchcraft but also complain that “TERFs” like it: the the reclamation of witchcraft as a feminist act and the witch as a symbol of female strength and independence was started by 2nd wave feminists. The women you so delightfully refer to as TERFs.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - A transgender woman is recovering from serious injuries after she was attacked in a west Charlotte park last week.

Federal authorities confirmed Monday that they are working with Charlotte-Mecklenburg police as the department investigates the attack.

“I really felt like I was dying slow,” said the 24-year-old, who is known as Ralayzia. She spoke with Channel 9 via video call on the condition that her face was not shown.

Ralayzia said she was at Clanton Park, near Clanton Road and West Boulevard, around 10:30 a.m. on Nov. 7 when she saw a group of people walking past.

“They stopped one time, you know, and just looked at me kind of funny, so I already knew maybe I need to move or something,” she said.

[traumatizedchildhood-deactivate]

funny how you pedophile sympathizer freaks arw leaving out the fact he was attacked was because the child victim he raped got revenge and attacked him. fuck you guys

[a0n2-fb93p4zmv365zagdj641]

doesn’t make her a man 0_o

[traumatizedchildhood-deactivate]

im not going to use child rapists preferred pronouns

[theeleanorvance]

I just Googled “ralayzia charlotte hatchet,” and I find it disturbing that out of all of the articles that came up, it wasn’t until the sixth result that the sexual assault charges were mentioned.

When looking up “derrick horton ralayzia” (Derrick Horton is Ralayzia Taylor’s legal name, which was only mentioned in the article that mentioned the sexual assault), the same news sources show up, but with revised articles that came out three days later, clarifying that one of the attackers was a 15-year-old who had been sexually assaulted by Horton.

I don’t know WHY the outdated articles come up first when researching the attack without prior information, but it kind of alarms me. If I hadn’t already seen this post, I don’t think I would have looked past the third or maybe fifth news article that came up on the case. The outdated articles aren’t edited to account for the newer information, nor do they link to the updated articles.

[lesbophobia-receipts]

I really want to thank you for reblogging 'TERF' Content, you made me realise that perhaps I'm a Radical feminist and it's okay not to want to date trans women.

How did you get that impression? Being a terf is disgusting and refusing to date trans women is transphobic and unjustifiable. Nobody on this blog has a different opinion than that.

- mod lacy

[auntiewanda]

Unjustifiable? Unjustifiable. 

You just stated there exists a situation where rejecting someone romantically is unjustifiable. That there exists a situation where a female person rejecting a male person is unjustifiable. Do you hear yourself? 

[moodyvegan-deactivated20180705]

This is NOT activism, this is RAPE CULTURE at work.

[auntiewanda]

Yeah, I mean, what choice does this attitude give lesbians? Lie back and have sex you don’t want to have for the sake of someone else’s arbitrary beliefs and morality? Yeah like we haven’t been told that before.

[petterwass]

No it is not. It’s okay to not date someone because you don’t want to, you don’t “click”, don’t find them attractive, whatever.

But if you refuse to date someone just because they’re black, then you might be a tad racist. And if you refuse to date someone simply because they’re Trans, then you might be a bigoted TERF-trash (but I repeat myself) person.

[exclusionaryhomosexual-deactiva]

according to this perversion of logic, a gay man refusing to date someone just because that someone is a woman makes him sexist.

and if a hetero woman refuses to date someone just because that someone is a lesbian makes her homophobic.

what you don’t get is that refusing or wanting to date someone based on their sex is how sexual orientation works and it’s not a matter of debate among civilized, decent people. but trying to explain that to rape activists is like trying to make a hole in the water.

keep on promoting that lesbophobic rape culture that says a woman who refuses to date males is bigoted trash. 

demonization of lesbian sexuality is something you share with conservatives, fascists, and other homophobes.  

[ace-feminist]

No, it doesn’t, because they aren’t attracted to that gender. If you are attracted to men, and you won’t go out with a woman because you aren’t attracted to that gender, that’s fine, because you literally aren’t attracted to that gender. If you are attracted to woman, but you won’t date a trans woman JUST BECAUSE THEY’RE TRANS, you’re a bigot.

[exclusionaryhomosexual-deactiva]

are you disingenuous or do you really think what you are saying is not homophobic and strengthens rape culture?

i know my sexual orientation. how about you don’t invalidate and erase my homosexuality? i literally only like my own sex. that’s how it works. so i wouldn’t date a male person who identifies as a trans woman, exactly because they are male. their trans identity doesn’t play a part on how my sexuality works. 

how about you stop spewing fascist-sounding lesbophobia and stop ignoring the rape culture your rhetoric supports?

shaming people to enter intimate relationships against their sexual orientation and will is coercive and you are playing the part of an accomplice to rape. what you are pushing for is the “correction” of lesbians’ dating choices through coercion to include people that lesbians aren’t attracted to. just like homophobic religious zealots do and fascist propaganda supports. what the fuck is wrong with you? how despicable can you be?

i do hope you get what you deserve for your lesbophobic rape activism.

[ace-feminist]

Let’s get one thing straight: I am not saying rape is ok. Ever. If you refuse to have sex with a trans woman just because they are trans and they have sex with you anyway that is rape and I am not at all ok with it. But saying you won’t have sex with someone ONLY because they are trans does make you a bigot. Trans woman are woman. They just are. And I’m not forcing you to date them I’m just saying if you don’t date them ONLY BECAUSE THEY ARE TRANS you are a bigot. That’s all I’m saying.

[exclusionaryhomosexual-deactiva]

“ But saying you won’t have sex with someone ONLY because they are trans does make you a bigot. ”

see, now i know that you are not ignorant. you are malevolent. i keep saying it’s because of female homosexuality and as a consequence the incompatibility with maleness and you keep trying to change the language to support your rape activism.

“ I am not saying rape is ok. ”

yes, you are since you are actively encouraging it. what you are doing is a manipulation tactic to shame lesbians (repeatedly calling lesbians bigots for saying no to sex and other intimacies) with the purpose of coercing them into having sex against their will and natural inclinations. you say to lesbians very clearly that in order to stop the sexual harassment and negative social consequences they have been suffering, they have to have sex against their will. 

you are just doing your liberal part in the “corrective” rape of lesbians, i get it. 

[ace-feminist]

What the fuck????? I am not encouraging it at all. Please do not have sex against your will. When did I ever say that??? @feminismandmedia @destroy-the-fucking-patriarchy @were-all-queer-here can someone please help me here? I’m at a loss.

[informative-feminist]

I agree with @for-those-libral-woman. I do also have a question of my own. I know that not wanting to have sex with someone because they’re trans is transphobic. I also know that trans men can have penises, or vaginas, or anything in between. As a cishet woman, let’s say I’m dating a trans man, and he has a vagina. While I’m happy dating him and am attracted to him romantically, because I’m heterosexual, I wouldn’t want to have sex with him because I’m not attracted to vaginas. Is that transphobic?

[exclusionaryhomosexual-deactiva]

“ I know that not wanting to have sex with someone because they’re trans is transphobic. ”

“ because I’m heterosexual, I wouldn’t want to have sex with him because I’m not attracted to vaginas. ”

according to trans activists you are a terf. don’t worry though, no one will come after you because you are not a lesbian. us, we get rape and death threats for saying exactly the same thing about being homosexual and not into dicks.

but it’s great to know that you support this rhetoric since only lesbians face the abusive consequences.

[informative-feminist]

Eww. Absolutely not. Unlike you, I’m willing to change if someone tells me I’m being transphobic. Don’t you think for a single minute that I’m a TERF or that I’m identifying/commiserating with you guys.

TERF ideology is dangerous and disgusting.

[exclusionaryhomosexual-deactiva]

you: because I’m heterosexual, I wouldn’t want to have sex with him because I’m not attracted to vaginas

me: because i’m homosexual, i wouldn’t want to have sex with anyone with a dick because i’m not attracted to dicks

you: eww

a hetero woman saying eww to a lesbian because of how her homosexuality works. but she wants respect and understanding about how her heterosexuality works. you can’t make that stuff up. homophobia going unchecked and even seen as feminist.

what else is new? liberals same as conservatives same as fascists

how are you going to destroy patriarchy while hating lesbians for being lesbians i wonder. you are the supporters of patriarchy, women like you are the backbone. self-reflect and don’t swallow talking points without chewing on them first. 

[informative-feminist]

That’s not what I said.

You don’t have to have sex with a person who has a penis.

But some trans women have vaginas. And refusing to date someone is different from refusing to make sex with them.

You’re using faulty logic and manipulation. I don’t hate lesbians; I hate TERFs. YOU’RE the backbone of the patriarchy, because you seem to want to keep everyone confined into gender roles that define people by their genitals.

[excalibelle]

“I won’t date trans women” = transphobic “I wont date people with vaginas bc only like penises” = not transphobic Refusing to have sex with someone who happens to be trans = OK Refusing to have sex with someone because they aren’t cis but if their identity were otherwise you would = not OK Refusing sex based on the parts they have = OK Refusing sex based on their identity = not OK

the actual refusal of sex is not the transphobic part. Its the REASON.

And as said above, not all trans women gave vaginas. You don’t have to be post op to be valid trans. Not to mention nonbinary people.

I think the idea that refusal of sex based on genetilia is transphobic is dangerous. Especially towards rape victims whose reasons for refusal is because sleeping with someone who (down there) looks like their rapist would be traumatic. Romantic attraction is based on gender, but sexual attraction is a physical, mostly visual thing for most people.

[informative-feminist]

@exclusionaryhomosexual

[exclusionaryhomosexual-deactiva]

“ Refusing sex based on the parts they have = OK ”

“ I think the idea that refusal of sex based on genitalia is transphobic is dangerous. ”

i agree 100%. and yet i see arguments that these things are transphobic a dozen times in a week and i follow like 10 blogs and no tags. i’m not exaggerating. i have been told that girl dick is not the same as boy dick (believing otherwise makes you a transmisogynist) and that you are transphobic if genitalia factor into who you have sex with. i have been told that women like me reduce women to their genitals because we like vulvas and vaginas and they play a big role in our satisfaction during sex. someone called me out as transmisogynistic because i made a post about how much i like the smell of the vagina last week ffs.

there is a terrifying push to normalize this rape activism that targets specifically lesbians and liberal feminists have remained silent or they repeat it themselves.

i just wish more people would stand against anti-lesbian rape activism no matter where it comes from. that they would stand against erasure of female homosexuality wherever it comes from.
