I didn’t transition to wear a dress.

Like, you’d think this would be obvious but recently I’ve had some people tell me that “see? You can wear a dress/heels/makeup and still be a man!”

Which is true. But I don’t like any of those things. I don’t want them. I didn’t transition for them, or for a fetish, or to infiltrate female spaces or hang out with lesbians. I transitioned ‘cause I looked at my options, looked at the research and said “this is, probably, the best option for me.” Everyone’s experience will be different but that’s mine.

Like yes, clothes, or grooming habits don’t have a gender. You are absolutely right about that. But please don’t say that I, or any other trans woman, can be “a man in a dress.” Because it’s missing the point. And also, personally, because it reminds me way too much of my parents saying “you can be a man and still be empathetic and gentle.”

I would like to think I am both of those two things. After all, I do work in mental health. But two things I am not are A) a man, and B) in a dress.

I don’t see what was wrong with what your parents said.

when a woman is faster, stronger, better at sports - it’s because “she’s on enhancement drugs” “she’s manly” “the sport is easier when it’s played by girls.” 

when a woman is smarter, classier, makes more money - it’s because “she studies something easy” “slept her way to the top” “used affirmative action to get what she needs”

“overwhelmingly, men are perpetrators of mass violence” i say. this is a fact. i am reminded not to be too generalizing, because that isn’t fair. not all men, after all.

women are used to this. when we hold up serena williams, laverne cox, mae c. jemison to prove: we can do the same as you. we are told: no, those are the exception. there’s something wrong in the system or in them that makes it so they rose above their station. they’re not like other women. but every woman who is bitter, bitchy, cruel: they’re proof all women have personalities that follow the stereotype rules. it doesn’t matter that women are better surgeons, girls do better than boys in school, women are better leaders, better lawyers, are better at investing and finances, better drivers. but all women are stupid, hysterical, emotional messes that can’t drive and would nuke the country if someone called them a mean name.

but it’s not all men. not all police officers. not all frat boys. not all, just some bad apples, just some, don’t i know to judge people on the content of their character and not on who they are.

from the time they’re young, boys are given the benefit of the doubt. from the time girls are young, they’re told the majority of them will drown.

people are scrambling to figure out what is wrong with american schools that girls are doing so much better. maybe it’s because girls are suddenly now more likely to be morning people? is it unfair grading? is it some type of learning-style difference? is it all the exposure to female teachers? after all, if girls are doing so much better, there’s something wrong, right? there’s something wrong with the system?

men overwhelmingly are to blame for mass violence. just last night i watched a reporter ask the camera: “is this because of the women in his life?”

[poppyreblogs]

I just realized something depressingly sad

Men don’t get any decision on whether or not a baby should be aborted. I Understand the baby is inside the woman’s body, and it’s her body and she should get to decide what to do with it argument

Why does the father get stripped of the right to be a dad if the mother doesn’t want the child

Why is the stranger forced to pay for the child if they don’t want it

It takes two to create life Why does only one get to decide to end it

[godsofmoonandseaipraisethee]

Because of a concept called “female bodily autonomy” which you should Google. Women should be the ones to choose the abortion because they have to deal with the risks of pregnancy which include depression and incontinence all the way to death in childbirth. It’s true that the mum and dad both give 50 percent DNA but the mother does 100 percent of the reproductive labour and risk AND usually the majority of the childrearing too. Letting the male choose whether a woman is allowed to have an abortion is totally male supremacist. It reminds me of in Ancient Rome when the father got to decided whether the baby would be allowed to live and given a name or euthanized.

Who is involved in the assisted suicide debate?

Who is involved in the assisted suicide debate? 1. Secular opposition: mostly low income disabled people on a fixed income, advocates against elder abuse, people deeply involved in the disability rights movement.

2. Religious opposition: Catholics, fundie and conservative Christians ranting and raving about how they supposedly care about the lives of elderly and disabled people. Yet these same people hypocritically support austerity measures which cull the disabled and elderly like cattle.

3. Secular proponents: Middle class and above people who fear incontinence as a fate worse than death which is ableist AF. Saw a relative or friend die without proper pain relief once and now thinks that death is inherently pure agony and endless suffering.

4. Religious proponents: Liberal, left-leaning spiritualists, Pagans and practitioners of minority religions who have to be contrarian. If Christians oppose it, it MUST be good and progressive. Alt right, fascists and NeoNazis who openly say what society really feels, that the disabled and elderly are a waste and burden on society and should be euthanasia. References to Nazi gas chambers such as “gas the crips” similar to “gas the k#kes which they love saying.

a man: “I want the law to force this woman to let me see the child she gave birth to, because I orgasmed once.”

a woman: “I want to be free from this man and live my life with the child I gave birth to without him.”

male supremacists: “Wow, it would be so unfair to hurt that man’s feelings. Also the woman’s perspective doesn’t exist and isn’t worth considering! It’s only fair that we force her to conform her life to his wishes.”

OP never fails to amaze me with her stupidity 

[madnessendsbutwhen]

Oh look is this asshole again. I would like to remind everyone she is not talking exclusively about abusive men here. She thinks men should have no right to be fathers to their children if the mother doesn’t feel like it. No man should have a right to see his children, she has even advocated for the abolition of fatherhood. Children would be considered as only having a mother.

So yeah, she is a worthless piece of shit.

[emeraldmercury]

I would love to hear what OP has to say about abusive mothers. And if she’s the sort to think that mother’s abuse can never compare to father’s abuse because of incest… well… tell her that sexually abusive mothers exist too and almost never get caught. 

[respectthefemalebody]

You never pay attention when I talk about abusive mothers, though, which I have. I even made a post on Mother’s Day about it.

So like, what do you think about the actual topic of conversation now that you’re done derailing?

Are you actually capable of talking about abusive fathers, and how our legal system enables them?

[godsofmoonandseaipraisethee]

fatherhood is a patriarchal concept. it will never be equal to motherhood. this is an example of how the concept of equality can be used to attack women and their rights. for example, legal protections protecting against sexism for both genders when protection for females as a class of people would make more sense.

[godsofmoonandseaipraisethee]

First view: Universalism is an important part of polytheism because humanity unites us Second view: Universalism has no use whatsoever in polytheism because we are all distinct in ethnicity and tra…

At the same time, it would be impossible to forget that we polytheists have something in common with one another as well as with other non-polytheists. I don’t think this point needs much emphasis because it ought to be obvious to us all, but reminding ourselves of it from time to time can help us avoid unnecessary misunderstanding or unwarranted hostility. Although we don’t believe in the story of Adam and Eve, we acknowledge gladly the common qualities of humankind, and at the same time, we are also proud of what distinguishes us in our separate traditions and groups. The verb “distinguish” is perfect within this context since its noun “distinction” means both “difference” and “excellence”. This sense is exactly what I hope to convey here: the way for any group (ethnic or otherwise) to advance and rise to greatness is to understand how they differ from others (i.e. what makes them unique) and by that means achieve excellence by their spirit and effort. Universalism, on the other hand, tells everyone “you can be anything” which is a kind of insividualization that removes people from their natural groups and identities, i.e. weakens them. It is sometimes no better than a variation of the rule of “divide and conquer”, as employed by the empire or nation-state to mold the populace into a uniform cast for its own benefit and for the ease of controlling them. Whenever I hear the words “humanity”, “human progress”,  “we are all alike” and such like expressions, I can’t help but think of it in terms of imperialism. The imperialism of “humanity” is its cruel dominance over Earth’s plantkind and animalkind (I am sorry that there are no such words in our monotheistic language), a  dominance maintained by a euphemism called “human progress”. The notion of “we are all alike” (similar to quotes above), although partly correct, can also be used to trick people into following the dominant imperial system. We are bound to compete and wrestle for power, just like the Gods, but let us do so with art, tradition and justice, rather than with superficial tricks. May polytheism, in all its manifold hues and indigenous glories, rise to end all imperialism one day!

Trans-exclusionary radical feminism is a cult.

It’s ironic how they say the trans movement is a cult, but have little to no self awareness of their own cultish behavior.

They indoctrinate young girls who are just discovering feminism, spread misinformation, spread propaganda! Fuck them, fuck their transphobic bullshit, and fuck their indoctrination!

Don’t fall for their lies. They seek ONLY to hurt transgender people and then falsely say they are protecting women.

Trans women, especially trans women of color, are very fucking likely to be assaulted or even MURDERED just for existing. Cis women are at risk too, sure, but not that badly and not for the same reasons.

Fight against their hate, their bigotry, cruelty, and lies.

Fight to protect trans women! Fight and empower trans women!

Protect trans people. We just want to live our fucking lives and be respected! We are what we say we are!

Fuck TERFs!

“Cis women are at risk too, sure, but not that badly and not for the same reasons.” Dismissing violence against women. Good job troon femenists.

I want to start a new rule

Anyone who wants to try and tell trans women that they aren’t women doesn’t get to decide their own gender either.

pass it on.

[godsofmoonandseaipraisethee]

That is already female reality. We get feminine gender roles forced on us from birth.

[godsofmoonandseaipraisethee]

Intro post: my beliefs

I have a lot of different interests, positions and beliefs. I'm sick of compartmentalizing myself. This blog must be holistic as part of my self care. I realize you might be interested in some things I post about but not all and I respect that. I am a young Canadian woman of French descent.

I'm a radical feminist, libertarian market socialist and eco-futurist. I don't support capitalism but I think a market system is more efficient than central planning. Anything other than democratic workplaces should not exist. I care a lot about many social and political issues.

I am a Pagan and have been interested in it since I was a preteen. I have the great blessing of being raised secular in a country with less Christian fundies than the US. This have given me no shame, fear and guilt baggage to struggle with on my path. I thank the Gods for this.

I am disabled and professionally DXed with CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome), which I prefer by it's newer acronym SEID (Systemic Exertion Intolerance Disease), NVLD (Non-verbal learning disability) which means similar to autistics I have some trouble with social cues and personally my brain has a hard time processing visual information, particularly in mathematical and measured forms like graphs, tables, charts, maps, numbers and math etc. I have OCD too.

I find self-DXing really problematic. There are a lot of people on Tumblr faking illnesses including rare conditions like DID. I have dealt with poverty my whole life so I understand the socioeconomic issues of why someone may have to do that. But it's still problematic - the amount of people speaking for the disabled and chronically ill who really only suffer from Münchhausen Syndrome.

I love to read and learn. I am bisexual but in a committed het relationship and have never had a sexual experience with another female.  

I have lots of controversial opinions which gets me hella flack on the internuts. These include topics like:

Disability Rights: I'm against euthanasia and assisted suicide because I think it's an inherently ableist practice that endangers the lives of people like me.

Environmentalism:

I support environmentalism but I find it is infected with intense ableism. One easy example of this is #OrangeGate and the whole crusade against single use plastics. Single use plastics are frankly an accessible innovation. They keep many of us; who are too fatigued or unable to cook or cut fruit and veggies easily or without assistance, independent.

It's sad recycling has been abandoned by pop-environmentalism. There are companies like TerraCycle that can recycle virtually any kind of waste. If everyone had access to their services, I think it would be a less classist and ableist way to achieve a zero waste future.

Reusable products are expensive and labour intensive. Not everyone can afford the investment in reusables even if it would pay off in the end (not include labour spent on keeping it clean and functional). I think the whole world should recycle every piece of garbage - except for biohazards which must be burned. It is technically possible just not profitable. But it is our human right to not live in a garbage dump and the right of other living beings and ecosystems to have their home and autonomy.

I am hopeful for a carbon-free energy future but I think most current clean sources of power are inefficient. I think it's a waste of money to use them currently most of the time but I believe clean energy is the future. It's just not capable of supporting us all now despite environmentalists who claim it can completely replace conventional forms of energy. I think there is hope in nuclear energy as well despite the troubled past. It is carbon free and has strong output.

Feminism: This shouldn't even need to be stated but many idiots on Tumblr are claiming to be radfem but not x. I am a radfem. I'm against the sex industry. I do not see punters are innocent "clients". I hate terms by third wave feminists like "sex worker" and "client" meant to sanitize the reality of the sex industry being a form of violence against women. Also to some degree is violence against other oppressed groups as well.

I am gender critical. I think gender roles and heterosexuality were ultimately inventions of the patriarchy, not something natural and inherent to women. I'm pro-choice on birth control and abortion. I don't think a male should have any say in that decision.

Paganism and Spirituality: I am a Celtic polytheist, an ethnic polytheist and a hard polytheist which means I don't think the Gods are archetypes or thoughtforms that exist because of humans. I think worshiping Gods not of your own blood and syncretism is wrong most of the time.

I am anti-imperialist; politically but also spiritually. I support a true diversity; that is one of indigenism, where everyone has their own tribe and that tribe is interconnected to a piece of land, with it's own local cults and traditions. I am no supporter of nationalism but I do believe in regionalism as it is part of indigenism.

I see bi and multi-racial people as a negative. They are a symptom of the death of true diversity. The beauty of nature where "races" and peoples have been shaped so strongly by the lands they live with is beautiful. It literally determined many of their features such as hair colour, texture, eye shape, oxygen processing etc.

I don't feel I should need to clarify this but I don't believe in "race realism", the idea that some races are better, smarter etc. than others. I think the diversity of the world is sacred and beautiful as much as ecological biodiversity. The concept of race itself is a colonial construct which I only use when required but do not believe in it ideologically. I am ANTI-monotheism... ALWAYS, even for Dianic Wicca.

Guns and Free Expression:

Something I agree with right wingers with for what  they would consider the absolute wrong reasons. I'm pro-gun because I don't believe in giving the police and military; two racist and corrupt institutions, ultimate power by monopolizing access to guns.

Leftism was traditionally pro-gun and to be a radical leftist even now I believe it is a requirement. Marx said gun control is reactionary. The workers and citizens have a right to be armed and to self defense. Getting more people from marginalized classes gun training is a very positive thing in my view. I love and support groups like the Pink Pistols that shoot back against "fagbashers" and homophobes.

Unlike many people in the modern social justice movement I am not a fan of censorship. It always ends up hurting the marginalized despite claiming to prevent that. Hate speech laws ironically end up empowering those in power like men in the name of transgender rights.

I used to think hate speech was something to feasibly control but I don't think that anymore. I have seen so many brilliant radical feminists silenced in the name of "muh hate speech". Anti-censorship actually empowers radical movements on the left and that is good. Without it Marxists could all be arrested for "bigotry against people of wealth" or some stupid shit like that.

Death: I am interested in the death positive movement. I love the Ask A Mortician Youtube channel. I have wanted to be a mortician since I was in my mid-teens. I don't believe in every single thing promoted as they do though. They have a fetish for the impermanence of the corpse while I appreciate the value of corpse preservation. Being a polytheist, I know mummification and permanent forms of body preservation are part of some polytheist and indigenous societies - which are the only legitimate societies in my view.

Most people think that modern formalin embalming preserves corpses permanently or for a long time but that is actually false. It only delays decay for around a month and a body in a conventional burial will turn to green sludge eventually.

I very much support the #deathpos movement advocating for more natural burials grounds, access to aquamation and home funerals. I think everyone should have as much choice as possible for their dead body that fits with their own personal spiritual path. I hope one day there will be a modern form of corpse preservation that is non-toxic. Researchers have succeeded in making shellac mummies. But it's not a commercial burial option, lol.

Science: I am against pseudoscience and quackery because I think it is exploitative and ableist. It takes advantage of sick people desperate to be cured. The whole anti-vax thing is full of ableism against autistics. Quackery really affected my OCD in a bad way for most of my childhood and teenagehood.

Only when I found the online skeptic movement (not the anti-SJW dummies on Youtube, I mean the ones who debunk quackery) was I liberated from some of my harmful obsessions. I think some supplements and herbs, massage, yoga, meditation and aromatherapy can have benefit but homeopathy, chiropractic, colonics, "detoxing", organic food and anti-GMO, acupuncture and many more are complete bullshit.
