This makes me so indescribably happy. I think theyâre now the most famous person out there using gender neutral pronouns. Iâm so okay guys. Iâm so okay Iâm gonna cry.
How does going by âThey/themâ mean youâre embracing who you are âinside and outâ. What does that even mean? What would prevent him from doing so without the pronoun nonsense?
he seems to have been brainwashed by Mermaids into thinking his desire to wear makeup and put on glitter means heâs not a man. He also really disgustingly said that he âhas sex like a womanâ so we know thereâs some intense misogyny/sexism and homophobia involved.Â
and heâs out there hanging out with our favorite enby Alok Vaid-Menon so, you know heâs surrounding himself with bigots and predators.Â
Right-wingers are now jumping in to talk about the "cult mentality" of the people supporting the trans rally in Toronto last night.
Interestingly, the so-called "trans cult" is a common talking point for terfs.
Like... I don't know how much clearer I can be, but: if you have the police, right-wing politicians, right-wing media and Christian fundamentalists on YOUR side, you're not radical.
If you think people should be detained for exercising their right for peaceful assembly, you're not radical.
Second-wave feminists weren't out there advocating for the complete restructuring of society and destruction of the gender binary that perpetuates the patriarchy so that people could co-opt their movement, reinforce the structures they were trying to break down, and call themselves radical feminists.
Terfism is a tool of the patriarchy. Maybe you never intended it to be, but the conservatives spotted it right away and used it to their advantage. So while you sit there and claim that being anti-terf means hating women, maybe think about who you're really helping here and why radical feminists felt the need to coin the term 'terf' in the first place.
you seem really out of touch with what youâre talking about.Â
gender essentialism, which is what queer theory is all about, is patriarchy. pathologizing being GNC and suggesting that women choose our own oppression because we just âare more submissiveâ and whatnot, thatâs patriarchy.Â
the only ârestructuringâ your movement is interested in is taking away the rights that women fought for. putting women at risk. silencing women. advocating violence against women. protesting that women even have a movement for ourselves. and also writing this type of world salad divorced from reality.Â
Sometimes listening to straight girls talk is so wild theyâll be like âit sucks that Iâm tall because I love heels so much but I canât wear them because then Iâll be taller than my boyfriend!!!â and just like what in the goddamn hell are you talking about
As a cis lesbian STOP acting like ones personal feelings can apply to an entire group. Some lesbians are transphobic, some lesbians have a deep trauma w male genitals and thatâs fine. Stop saying that itâs natural as a lesbian to be transphobic, to hate trans women, to be disgusted by them. Stop acting like theyâre just a fetish. Stop pushing your views onto other lesbians. Please. You can live your life but let us live ours, no need to push this rhetoric.
as a lesbian, if youâre attracted to trans women, thatâs not being âless transphobicâ than other lesbians. thatâs being bisexual. i donât think trans women are a âfetish,â i believe that the people attracted to them are simply male-attracted and therefore not lesbians. that is not the same as a fetish.
this is not a âsome lesbians are Xâ situation. this isnât about natural, in-group variation. this is about the very definition of homosexuality. stop trying to warp it to be something else.
anyway itâs natural for lesbians to be incompatible with trans women, because thatâs what lesbian means. itâs not a hate crime to not be attracted to trans women ffs anon.
Why bother attacking trans people. I also took HRT like OP and was fully aware of the risks but it was better to live my life authentically than to live a lie. You're not "helping" us. Look at the person you reblogging from. That's blatant attacking. What do you gain from this? Op was making a stupid joke, you made it about heart attacks. Leave us alone.
how was OP saying a stupid joke--using a slur and misrepresenting radical feminism, but weâre the evil attackers for explaining reality? did you tell her to stop attacking us, or? nah, because thatâs alright, isnât it? letâs promote violence against women, deplatforming because you donât like reality. i donât care to tone police other feminists. weâre angry for a reason, and reality is on our side.
biology matters. and yes, radical feminism which seeks to liberate women from patriarchy does help all females. but if youâre the kind of trans man that wants to be a male to oppress others i can see it wouldnât be seen as a positive huh.
Iâm genuinely unsure why radblr seems to have a problem with asexuals? Like I get mad when asexuals say they are somehow as or more oppressed then the lgbt community or make everything about them or call other people perverts but I see radfems getting angry for even insinuating asexuals exist. How does it somehow go against radical feminist or gender critical principles to believe people who donât feel sexual attraction exist?
i donât get it either tbhâŚ. i also donât get the insistence that gay ppl canât also be asexual, like⌠obviously most of us are not but there are a few of us that are????
Literally the only way you can know youâre gay/lesbian is if youâre exclusively attracted to the same-sex. You cannot call yourself asexual if you experience that sexual attraction.
an asexual is just someone who does not desire sex. what do you call a person whoâs strictly attracted to the same sex but does not desire sex if not gay?
what do you mean? so someone who only wants to be friends with the same sex??? Iâd personally just call them normal or maybe picky but you do you.
bc attraction is inherently based in sexual desire so to my knowledge and understanding of the entire concept of how sexual attraction works you can not be asexual and attracted to someone bc thatâs contradictory.
I donât think having a low libido is the same as being asexual, bc your libido constantly changes based on your mood, cycle, age, medication etc. no one is constantly horny 24/7 down to fuck. while asexuality, if it is a real sexuality, should be fixed and unchanging, which means you never want to have sex, never did, and you were and are never attracted to anyone. choice of platonic friends has nothing to do with sexuality.
for me attraction is basically âoh, that person is hot, Iâd like to get to know themâ whether sex actually happens doesnât matter, but your interest in that person in the first place was sparked by your sex drive
while âoh this person looks cool/intersting Iâd like to get to know themâ is not based in sexual attraction, but in curiosity and desire to socialize. talking someone up bc youâd like to be their friend and enjoy their company is not attraction.
Asexuality is not concrete like that for everyone. For the majority of people it comes in phases. Sexuality is based of biological sex aka, who youâre attracted to, not how often you have sex or how often you want it. Itâs a descriptor. As someone who considered themselves asexual for years I still knew I was bisexual. Iâm capable of being romantically attracted to men and women, and romantic attraction is a form of sexual attraction. Gay people who arenât interested in sexual acts still desire a relationship with the same sex, aka what being gay means.
Also being on the spectrum can effect how you express your sexuality, and lots of us would describe ourselves as asexual in a way. Not all people in the asexual category are completely indifferent to either sex and still have an innate orientation.
if itâs not concrete then itâs not a sexuality and I donât believe in the split attraction model with romantic vs sexual attraction
homosexuality is the exclusive attraction to the same sex
heterosexuality is the exclusive attraction to the opposite sex
and bisexuality is the attraction to either sex
asexuality, as I (and most people) understand it, is the complete lack of attraction to either sex
these are definitions of the sexualities, all concrete and precise. whether you actually act on these sexualities and which sex practices you (donât) perform with your partner is another thing entirely and has nothing to do with sexual attraction.
someone who hasnât dated in years but still feels attraction towards people is not asexual, same as someone who has been in a long term relationship with someone else but they donât have sex at the moment bc drop of libido due to old age or other reasons etc.
Iâm not interested in post modern, individualistic âeverybody defines it differentlyâ non-definitions
if it comes in phases, itâs literally not a sexuality but just fluctuations in your libido, which are perfectly normal and heavily dependant on outside factors like stress, trauma, medication, hormonal cycle, physical activity, diet, illnesses, the proximity of potential partners (developmental disroders like autism also seem a reasonable factor) etc. as said no one is constantly horny 24/7 (I literally copy pasted that, you people are killing me) and a medical condition (or totally normal fluctuation in your cycle) that surpresses your libido, which would be perfectly normal otherwise, doesnât make you asexual
if you mean to use it as a descriptor, an addition to your actual sexuality, then maybe Iâd use a different word than âasexualityâ bc the â-sexualityâ part makes it that people apply the same definition as to the other sexualities, which are unchanging and concrete. I mean I also like to be upfront with potential partners abt my expectations towards relationships and sex so no one gets disappointed and wastes their time, but I donât claim that my preferences and and hangups are a distinct sexuality.
âŚâŚyeah I said itâs not a sexuality but a descriptor and Iâm only using the word asexual because the majority of people know what it means. Iâm not arguing with anything else cause I agree with you lol.
My point is that I donât believe asexuality is its own orientation, I donât believe that the majority of people who identify as ace are completely indifferent to either sex. Thereâs a difference between being uninterested and having no attraction to anyone romantic or sexual feelings whatsoever. Maybe I believe this because almost every self described ace doesnât even fit their own definition of what itâs supposed to be. I never even heard of people referring to it as itâs own orientation until Tumblr tbh. Its possible Iâm just misinformed đ¤ˇ
Looking at someone and wanting to kiss them is not a platonic expression, like kissing your friends and family and cuddling with people who you have pre-established relationships with is not the same as seeing an attractive stranger and internally thinking âwow I want to kiss and cuddle themâ. I just donât believe thatâs how platonic relationships start, I donât believe that itâs a cultural thing either. European people kiss each other on the cheek as a way to say hello but a full mouth to mouth kiss (that isnât just a peck) is not something you do with with people you only see as friends lol
Sorry if Iâm misinterpreting what your intent is Iâm just confused as to how that would make sense
look, Iâm an ace radfem who is well over the age of thirty so I think Iâm qualified to respond to this, but asexuality is an actual orientation, itâs just very rare.
asexuality is certainly used as a descriptor by a lot of people who have no idea what it means to be asexual. for example, itâs not a dry spell, itâs not romantic attraction with no sexual desire (which isnât a thing at all imo), itâs not a phase, itâs not a lack of libido (yes actual asexuals do wank off sometimes, just not to other people!)
âIf you donât desire sex then youâre asexual.â or youâre a trauma victim. or your hormones are out of whack. or you are sick. or thereâs no one who actually turns you on. people other than asexuals often donât desire sex. asexuals NEVER desire it. âif you donât desire sexâ is not the full definition of asexuality.Â
âSo what do you call someone exclusively attracted to the same sex.. who doesnât desire sex? â A homosexual who either needs to get some medical or psychological attention, or, if you are fine with that state of affairs, needs to live your best life as-is, but quit calling yourself ace because youâre still a lesbian and youâre confusing the already confused haters.
âNot all people in the asexual category are completely indifferent to either sex and still have an innate orientation.â  um no, by definition this means youâre not in the asexual category, which is exactly as concrete as being lesbian, or bi, or straight. if you are not completely indifferent to sex, you are not asexual. if you are completely indifferent to sex and that is your innate orientation, you are ace.Â
as an actual asexual person, itâs annoying to listen to a bunch of allosexuals claim to be ace because they donât want to knock the boots but still want to kiss and cuddle.  asexuals do not want to kiss and cuddle.  thatâs sexual.  if you want that, you are not asexual. itâs also annoying to read something like âAs someone who considered themselves asexual for years I still knew I was bisexualâ because that has nothing to do with being asexual, it has to do with you not being honest with yourself and other people, and somehow that dishonesty is now my problem as an actual asexual person, and is part of the reason tumblr âradâ fems hate me and assume Iâm lying.
itâs simply unusual for someone who is healthy, relatively untraumatized, has a libido, has no hormonal imbalance, and has no inhibitions or hangups regarding other humans to have no sexual interest in anyone. in fact, I think if youâre actually ace, you have less need for other people overall. and yeah, itâs pretty weird, but donât worryâ everything in human society makes the few of us who are out there feel weird ALL THE TIME!
but itâs an actual orientation. just because a bunch of allos hijack this orientation all the time doesnât mean itâs not real. just because some probably-not-ace dude founded a support group for asexuals, realized he was only going to attract ten people, and then expanded the definition of asexual so fifteen year-olds could feel terribly oppressed for not being ready for sex yet doesnât mean actual asexuals donât exist.Â
and other radfems who hate on asexuals need to get over yourselves. thereâs only three of us on this entire website, youâre all safe from our gross ace cooties or whatever it is that put a giant stick up your asses.
what if we became a couple đłđłđł while we were both working đď¸âď¸đđźđď¸ to decriminalize homosexuality đ¨ââ¤ď¸âđ¨đŠââ¤ď¸âđŠđ in india đŽđłđŽđłđŽđł and we were both women đłđłđł
you: wow so now i canât joke about wanting to rape lesbians with my friends??? ur a female who doesnât identify with something made up somehow this is relevant
tbh even if trans activism wasnât a threat to womenâs rights i still would be against it because it goes against the truth.
for example, if everyone would adopt something stupidly untrue as the truth, like â1 + 1 = 3â, even if it wouldnât have the consequences it does, i would be against it, simply because itâs not true.
of course consequences make the issue more important, but either way, trans women being female and trans men being male remains a lie however you look at it
My existence is a lie then? Hunny..... I'm sat right here.... Recovering from top surgery.... Guess your ideology is flawed.. because đ¤đ¤đ¤ I exist! Even if you don't want us to!
You literally just paid money to a plastic surgery doctor to cincince yourself your not a whole ass delusional and you calling people flawed? Lmao! I have to laugh! This tantrums just lroves that you arent even convinced your ahit shit dont stink.
You wish you could be compared to a logical way of thinking. We know you exist, here yall are demanding people fuck you or otherwise be accused of transphobia. Here is Jonathan Yaniv persecuting immigrant religious brown women for not shaving his dick, here we are having women in canada taking morning after pills but the canadian government keeps saying there is no men in womens prisons, here the fuck yall are comparing black women to men. Here yâall are taking track opportunities and scholarship opportunities from black girls in track and field. Here the fuck yall are demanding access to all girls schools, here you are demanding the blood that you donated be marked as preferred gender versua actual sex, here the fuck yâall are changing laws to kill of title XI.
i feel bad for OP that they felt putting themselves under the knife was a way to feel better, like so many people now that the medical establishment has done away with âdo no harmâ toÂ
but iâm also rolling my eyes at the continued stupidity of saying terfs donât believe trans people exist. no one is denying youâre out there, thinking youâre a man or woman. the point is your thoughts and feelings do not make it so.
OP your DNA is still female. your bones are female. i hope youâre educated on vaginal atrophy and your increased risks of heart attacks on T because these things have been swept under the rug, because female people, even when identifying as men are not a priority to anyone. you attacking women who disagree with you is not going to help you in the long run. itâs not going to protect you or other trans men, and you should be aware that everything radical feminists fight for will ultimately help trans identified females.Â
no terf is using astrology to create laws. no terf is creating genders based on astrology. itâs a fun pastime, itâs not being coded into law to erode womenâs rights. your comparison is, to put it mildly, shit.
I couldnât make this shit up even if I tried. A white man named âDaphne Shaed,â who identifies as a âtranny cyborg Hindu womanâ is on staff at the University of Victoria Womenâs Centre.
I clicked around a bit and discovered this charming stand-up comedy routine where he claims to be âasexualâ and then spends the rest of the skit talking about how much porn he watches and tells the story of when he gave anal sex to someone who continuously said âow.â
It is rather ironic that he claims to be an activist for womenâs rights and anti-racism while actively harming women and appropriating the traditional clothing of Hindu women. This racist, misogynist man is being supported by the University of Victoria Womenâs Centre.
Itâs completely unbelievable that university womenâs centres have become safe spaces for narcissistic MRAs and unsafe spaces for feminists. My only hope is that this guy brings more women to peak trans.
often overlooked feature of niqab/burqa: hides the signs of domestic violence. if a woman is bruised and battered, it's less obvious if you can't see any parts of her body
Which is crazy because just 15-20 years ago it was normal to have thin brows and a lip liner and you were fly. Extra glossed lips made you a bad chick. This era is so draining.
A young woman has come forward with serious allegations of abuse against Jonathan âJessicaâ Yaniv.
BREAKING: Jessica Rumpel, @HyperJesserz, the young woman who J. Yaniv engaged in inappropriate sexual behaviours with when she was between the ages of 14 and 15, has confirmed she has filed a child exploitation report against Yaniv with CyberTip on the incidents.
A young woman has come forward with serious allegations of abuse against Jonathan âJessicaâ Yaniv.
Yaniv, a male-to-female transgender, has recently risen to infamy for the human rights tribunal suits she has taken out against 16 estheticians for declining to perform waxing services on her male genitals. While the suits are ongoing, a publication ban on Yanivâs name and the content of her case and history was lifted during recent hearings, allowing details of her disturbing past behaviour to come to light.
Twenty-year-old Jessica Rumpel of Sammamish, Washington State has disclosed details to the Post Millennial of her encounters with Jessica Yaniv.
Rumpel was just 14 years old at the time of the interactions, turning 15.
âAt first, I thought, you know, this guy seems to have some kind of mental issues of some sort.â She says, âI didnât think he was a predator at first.â
Yaniv made contact with Rumpel through social media site Ask.FM, where people, including those who are anonymous, can ask questions of users and receive answers in short-form.
Rumpel states that Yaniv sent her a series of disturbing questions while anonymous, before adding her to the private messenger application Kik. Kik is known to law enforcement for its notoriously poor protection of children, and its routine usage by pedophiles to message each other and their victims. According to Rumpel, Yaniv allegedly presented himself as a young male in his âlate twenties,â and claims that he used pictures of himself when he was younger in their initial conversation.
Rumpel states it was sympathy that caused her to continue contact with Yaniv initially, âHe liked to make himself be the victim. He actually told me he had folliculitis and depression.â
Pitying who she thought was an emotionally pained young man, Rumpel maintained some regular contact with Yaniv. âI always wanted to be there for anyone who was suffering. Anyone who needed someone to listen to them.â
Just like any other 15-year-old girl, she enjoyed having another friend to talk to, but the conversations often took an uncomfortable turn.
âYaniv always told me he uses pads and wants to go into the ladies bathroom. [Yaniv] asked me how to go into the ladies bathroom without being caught, and then how to be in the bathroom if thereâs a lot of women or girls.â Rumpel recalled, â[Yaniv] even asked me what stall to go in.â
According to Rumpel, Yaniv did not identify as transgender at any point during their interactions. She believed Yaniv simply had a fetish for bathrooms, pads, and girls clothing as Yaniv would also begin sending Rumpel worrying messages, including photos of himself in âgirls jeansâ asking for comments and compliments from the then-15 year old.
â[Yaniv] called me titty queen, even asked me to marry him and I was only 15. He said he couldnât wait until I turned 16.âÂ
Yaniv was born in 1987. He is currently 32. At the time of these messages, he would have been 27.
As has been revealed from previously exposed conversations, Yaniv often directed his comments towards menstrual stuffs, even going so far as to pester Rumpel to take photos of her used feminine hygiene products.Â
Yaniv would send Rumpel disturbing voice messages in an Elmo voice, saying things such as âElmo wants to f***â and âElmo loves pussy.â In the final clip, Yaniv is heard saying âI love you Jess Rumpel. Your boobies go up and down, up and down, up and down!â
Rumpel explains that Yaniv had a Elmo-character profile on Ask.FM, and used it to send her questions. At first, she thought it was âadorable,â but when it became sexual, like with all of Yanivâs other behaviors, she felt uncomfortable and violated. She began responding less and less to Yaniv, and sending him defensive messages in an attempt to force him to go away.
Rumpel claims that what was left of her sympathy finally wore off when other girls approached her and claimed Yaniv had treated them in a similar, or worse, fashion. The girls saw Yanivâs comments to Rumpel on her Ask.FM, and tried to warn her.
â[Yaniv] told these girls he was 17âŚâ Rumpel says, âI started to call [Yaniv] out on my Ask.FM and these other girls messaged me and said [Yaniv] was a liar and broke their hearts.â
Rumpel says she learned of Yanivâs impropriety, and human rights suits, after Yaniv followed her on Twitter.
âLast week I decided to check who follows me, and I found Jessica Yaniv. At first I was like, who the heck is that? And then I recognized the last name and that face.â Rumpel also claims she was scared when she learned that Yaniv changed her name to âJessica.â
âI clicked on the profile and saw the âproud lesbianâ photo and that a lot of people were commenting about Yaniv being a creep. I saw the screenshots they had of Yaniv asking the most disturbing questions.â Rumpel says it was this realization that compelled her to come forward.
âI cannot express my feelings⌠My thoughts are with the other young girls [Yaniv] has done this to.â
The Post Millennial reached out to Jessica Yaniv for comment, who claimed no knowledge of who Rumpel was, stating: âI have no idea who that is.â Yaniv then also claimed the messages Rumpel had received may have been from a fake account, stating âThere has been a lot of fake accounts of me out there, and a lot of people trying to put disparaging content out there. So I have no idea who this person is at all.â
However, The Post Millennial was able to verify that the messages Rumpel received did indeed come from Yanivâs verified trustednerd Facebook account.
