Urgh imagine your dying wish is to donate your body to medicine thinking that maybe you will give a child a new lease on life with a heart transplant or help someone whose liver is failing and then your skin ends up in some fetishistic, misogynistic male’s open wound… disgosteng

[coochiequeens]

@chadradfem those are the words I was looking for

[powerfem]

Wow this makes me so fucking mad. Alloderm is a very expensive material, because it comes from a donor of course, but also because of the process to make it. So expensive that they use a limited amount on burn victims, its intended use, only on very mobile areas or in very grave cases.

Imagine seeing person with the majority of their body burned, who isn't getting alloderm everywhere because it is very expensive, and then reading this 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬 Did you now that many times doctor struggle finding donor skin for burn patients? That can easily mean life or death.

[some-random-radfem]

Considering that I am currently struggling with kidney disease, I can not describe to you the levels of furious that this makes me on behalf of every person requiring any kind of life-saving organ donation at all. There aren't even words. The only real reaction I can think of besides writing this post is to throw every fetishistic TiM into a wood chipper, and then to start screaming and never, ever stop. 🤬🤬🤬

[some-random-radfem]

Sorry not sorry, but I have to share this again because someone posted something in the tags that is just making me RAGE at this TiM all over again.

This is so utterly infuriating to me ("this" referring to the dude's surgery, not the tagger's decision, just to be clear). When these fetishistic males do these things, when they go in for these purely elective surgeries, not only do they take organs away from potentially dying people who really need them for totally redundant and unnecessary purposes, but they also scare people off of becoming organ donors due to the fear of one's organs being used for this purpose once deceased. Yet, requirements for life-saving organ transplants are not going to disappear just because some disgusting male fetishist is pining for his own personal designer "vagina" (translation: open surgical wound). There are still going to be dying people who desperately need them. And now, because of the trans cult and their plastic surgery obsession, there are fewer of them to go around, and what's there may not even be used on them.

These men are so utterly, clinically narcissistic and self-centered that they are willing to let terminally ill or severely injured innocent people suffer and die because these misogynistic AGPs have decided that they want, idk, boob jobs or some shit.

Do you all understand my wood chipper comment now? 🤬🤬🤬

[yenneterf]

As someone who works in the field of tissue/eye donation, this shit absolutely infuriates me. Especially because of how difficult and opportunistic it can feel to speak to families (which I do!! daily!!!) about how life-saving tissue donation can be, and now knowing it can go to some man's fetishistic impulses. it breaks my heart.

these surgeries aren't life-saving. they're for men's sexual gratification. they're a waste of valuable tissue that could save the lives of burn victims. i'm livld.

Obviously the most minor of this shitstain's crimes, but that's not even what cyberpunk means! He's not getting a robotic "vagina". His open wound isn't gonna have wifi. This would be biopunk at best, really more frankensteinian than anything.

Honestly, I'm hoping he's just making things up and not actually going to waste medical resources.

Gender Disparity in Organ Donation: She Gives, He Receives

A detailed look at the gender disparity in organ donation, where women overwhelmingly become organ donors, and men are the primary recipient

The 2021 report from the National Organ and Tissue Transplant Organisation (NOTTO) reveals a troubling gender disparity in organ donation: 80% of organ recipients were men, while 75% of organ donors were women. Although men and women are equally likely to face medical conditions that require organ transplants, very few women actually seek or receive them. From 1995 to 2021, of the 36,640 people who received organ transplants in India, 29,695 were men. Meanwhile, 4 out of 5 living donors are women, and they are often wives and mothers who overwhelmingly take on this role.

Gender disparity in organ donation: Why women outnumber men as living organ donors

The problem is not in India alone.

A Google search will take you into the global scenario of gender disparity in organ donation. A 2021 study in the Journal of the American Heart Association notes that sex disparities in organ donation in the US have persisted for over 25 years. As per this study, women are more willing to donate their own organs to family members or strangers than men.

[quinntheestallion]

I peaked maybe 2 or 3 years ago because I searched Blaire White on tumblr. I saw a post by sapphsorrows that referred to him with male pronouns, got very interested because Blaire is so "passing". I thought, huh, why would someone go out of their way to use a non intuitive pronoun? Then in a 3 day span I read that entire blog top to bottom. I'd been IDing as trans for 13+ years, had never thought that deeply about it because to me my masculinity meant I was "male brained" (jerking it to big boob oil massage videos was all the proof of maleness that I needed i guess lmao). I was detransitioned in a span of 4 hours. It was very jarring. Everything just suddenly made complete sense. I had never encountered these ideas before, and the moment I did, I was deprogrammed. I got accused of being radicalised by my trans social network at the time: all I can say to that is, you don't get radicalised in 4 hours. All it took was just... reading and the mindset "ok, how does the world look if I assume I believe this argument, for the sake of intellectual honesty. What if trans women are men?" And bam. Suddenly it all clicks. The whole movement makes sense if they're men. Because they are. All I had to do was encounter and entertain the idea for an hour or two.

All I had to do was encounter and entertain the idea for an hour or two.

And that’s why demonizing TERFs and telling people to not read, think or reflect is critical for them tbh. It really only takes a few mins of intelligent thought for the seams to unravel

[gendiebrainrotreceipts]

I'm as much of a scientist as the transgender blogger telling people that "there have been dozens of studies showing the positive impact of gender-affirming care for transgender youth" and I can immediately tell why all of those studies were ignored or tossed out from the NHS review: They only cover a window of about 12-24 months after HRT and GAC were administered to patients.

That's the honeymoon period. Long-term studies show minimal, if any, permanent mental health improvements. After the initial excitement wears off and the love-bombing and overwhelming support from strangers and randos online tapers off, the suicidal thoughts return and the underlying mental health issues that were not addressed by hormones and surgery at all continue to prove that the real issue was a complex combo of trauma, depression, anxiety conditions, and other mental illness, misguided by social contagion and external, cult-like behavior that makes promises it can't keep.

Surveying and following up on people during the peak of their honeymoon euphoria, where they are most preoccupied and distracted from their own mental health, when there are the fewest complications and the lowest chance for bad side-effects, when people are least likely to desist, and when the trans healthcare system is the most supportive and encouraging, is just inherently dishonest. It's like doing a survey on how often certain cars break down by only interviewing people who just drove their new car off the dealership lot. Blatant data fudging.

Once you know that gender care clinics report that they have been taking in thousands of patients, but "lose contact" with most of them, and then turn up with a couple hundred people for their sample size, it becomes far more obvious why so many of these studies would be tossed out. They are not attempts to track the efficacy and legitimate side-effects of transitioning. They're just propaganda that only wants the force conclusion that gender affirming care, of any kind, is flawless, perfect, has a 100% satisfaction rate, NO ONE EVER DESISTS, DETRANSITIONERS ARE NOT REAL, and that anyone who says otherwise is a bigot and a monster who wants kids to kill themselves.

[learn-2-love-deactivated2026011]

I think it's really telling that we pretty much all say that we wanted trans ideology to be correct but no one could explain or prove it, no books, no other trans people, no activist material. I felt this same way, pretty much all my detrans mutuals or the people I follow say the same thing.

If I could find something that proves that I am wrong, that gender is definable, provable, real, and that I was simply wrong about mine, that would be very soothing. I have trans people in my life who mean a lot to me, my transition has taken up a large chunk of my life (if you start the clock at my "coming out", it literally went on longer than my previous stage of life from 0-11 years old... being from 11-23), and the progressive wing of US politics, and most pro-gay organizations, have hitched their wagon to the transgender movement.

I have no idea what people think the benefits to becoming a radical feminist are that would make us abandon the supposed truth. Feminism, like, actual "we need to liberate women" feminism, has never been popular. I suppose they just think I'm foaming at the mouth with hatred l every time I imagine a trans woman, despite the fact that I've spent months of my time and thousands of dollars emotionally and financially supporting MTFs in my life, who I thought were intensely vulnerable, because they told me they were and I believed them and loved them and wanted to protect them.

The truth is that I think that gender abolition benefits everyone, but it benefits females the most, because we are the ones meant to be oppressed by gender. If "womanhood" no longer existing means that "trans womanhood" no longer has any meaning, I see that as necessary. It's not oppression or repression to say your penis and Y chromosome make you male, especially since being male doesn't mean anything inherent about your personality or goals or feelings. It is oppression to say that female people need to sit down and shut up about gender because it makes some male people feel better about their bodies. For every woman killed, disfigured, disabled, maimed, beaten, raped, belittled, barred from education or work, forced to be pregnant or forced to abort: I HAVE to be a feminist, I HAVE to understand that being female is what makes you the target of misogyny, and for that I must know what female is.

[vintage-bentley]

I find it very upsetting that GNC people, mainly lesbians and gay men, spent so long teaching everyone that women can be “masculine” and men can be “feminine”…only for gender havers to swoop in and undo all that progress with their sexist “actually if a woman isn’t perfectly performing femininity or if a man isn’t perfectly performing masculinity you need to ask THEIR pronouns!! Clothes = gender!!!” Bullshit and throwing fits whenever people recognise their sex instead of stereotyping them based on their clothes. They’ve set us back so far and they’re so giddy about it.

[river-grunfeld]

What do you think about trans people with dysphoria about their genitals? There is some research that trans men have phantom pensies at similar rates to post penectomy cis men, and that trans women have phantom penises at lower rates than post penectomy cis men.

https://psycnet.apa.org/record/2008-15313-001

Would this not imply something neurological causes trans identity?

Dysphoria can be about anything both social or physical, it's just a general word that tends to mean extreme discomfort. Dysphoria in the trans sense seems to be created by societal and personal trauma surrounding sex. That doesn't make it neccesarily false or fake, only that it is learned and can therefore be unlearned instead of naturally accuring or innate.

The thing about this study in particular like many trans studies, is it suffers from low participant count, anecdotal accounts, and framed questions which means it's hard to get an objective scientific answer.

How do you say someone is experiencing a phantom penis when they have never experienced having a real one. Unlike someone who has had a body part removed, they don't know what it is like in the first place so it's hard to say what feelings they are attributing to that. Same with the inverse.

Could you create the feeling of a phantom body part without having experienced one? Maybe, would it be the same as the feeling someone who has lost that part experiences, doubtful.

The mind is a really powerful and not very well understood thing. I don't think this is evidence that these people were somehow meant to be born in the other body, more that it shows how far the mind can go when it is struggling with something.

[butterflyfault]

I can create the sensation of phantom wings, tail, ears if I imagine them hard enough for long enough. I did this constantly when I was younger. I don't find any of that to be particularly meaningful. Humans evolved to embody tools - that is, to literally treat tools as part of our bodies. We treat phones as an extension of our bodies. Do I have identity-relevant phone dysphoria? No. That's silly. Yet I get very distressed when my phone is not on my person. I imagine it being there when it is not. Phantom phone. Does that indicate that I neurologically need a phone? Would that not imply that something neurological causes a phone identity? No. Do you ever get the feeling that someone is watching you, but when you turn around, no one is there? Even if you very strongly felt that they were? Does that prove a neurological cognition of ghosts? No. Look into embodied cognition, if you'd like, anon. It covers a lot of territory regarding the perception of things outside of ourselves and might be of interest to you. It's not a bad question. These are just some additional things to think about. Try not to fall into the trap of assuming transgenderism is a neurological phenomenon and then working backward to find proof for it. That'll make it really easy to miss problems with the research.

World's strongest woman: Britain's Andrea Thompson crowned champion after transgender athlete disqualified

Britain's Andrea Thompson wins world's strongest woman as the initial champion was a transgender woman who was not eligible to compete.

Andrea Thompson first won world's strongest woman in 2018

Published25 November 2025

Britain's Andrea Thompson has been crowned world's strongest woman after it transpired the original winner was a transgender woman who was not eligible to compete.

Thompson, 43, was awarded the title by event organisers Strongman two days after the event was held in Arlington, Texas from 20-23 November.

Strongman only permits competitors to take part in a category which matches their biological sex recorded at birth.

Thompson had finished second to the American athlete after the six weightlifting events in the Woman's Open category.

Strongman said in a statement, external its officials were "unaware" the original winner was "biologically male and now identifies as female" and had now "disqualified the athlete in question".

"Had we been aware, or had this been declared at any point before or during the competition, this athlete would not have been permitted to compete in the Woman's Open category," the statement added.

"It is our responsibility to ensure fairness and ensure athletes are assigned to men or women's categories based on whether they are recorded as male or female at birth."

Thompson, first crowned world's strongest woman in 2018, said the manner she had won the title had taken the gloss off it, but praised Strongman for "investigating and rectifying the situation so quickly".

"What should be a momentous occasion has sadly been overshadowed by scandal and dishonesty from someone who was welcomed into our crazy sport," she said in a post on her Instagram, external account.

"I am not only frustrated with not being able to celebrate a win, but also for the ladies who had their time to shine on the podium or reach the final day, taken away from them."

Thompson, from Suffolk, said she and fellow competitors were "mentally drained" having "received backlash and insults" since the decision, which "needs to stop".

"This has been the most exhausting experience of my career," she added.

"We, as a community are taking a stand. Protecting women's sport as we have fought so hard for."

[emeritusprofessorofnothing]

Why did they leave the name of the cheater out of the article? Also, apparently he got outed by someone sending the porn videos he has made to the strongman organizers.

Jammie Booker is his name btw and it looks like he has cheated in some other competitions.

[inky-scrolls]

I'm very crampy suddenly (yay for estrogen and getting periods now) and I was watching the Rhapsody in Blue Fantasia and burst into tears at how beautiful it is

Definitely a woman now 🤍🧡🩷

[river-grunfeld]

No, no you don't. Males on estrogen do not get a period, it is physically impossible.

[inky-scrolls]

Hehe, I'm afraid you're wrong! I don't bleed, of course, but I do have a cycle, which is what I'm referring to. I'm also not a 'male', but I know what you mean.

You detransitioned, and are a gender abolitionist - that's completely fine! Laudable, even. But as I understand myself, I'm transgender, and that's going to be true for the rest of my life.

🍄

[river-grunfeld]

If you are taking estrogen correctly you don't even have a "cycle" non the less one that causes cramps.

[inky-scrolls]

You're wrong again! It depends how you take E but a lot of trans women do, in fact, have a regular cycle. You can Google this, come on, it's not hard to do your own research.

[river-grunfeld]

"Do your own research" and it's just phudoscience. Like you're literally just scientifically wrong.

As I said emphasis on the word "correctly". As recommended by medical professionals artificial estrogen taken for male to female transition does not cause a period/cycle.

[inky-scrolls]

Ee I'm sorry but you're just wrong! 💚💚💚 No shade but if you're not prepared to accept the science and lived experience of trans women we can't really have a sensible conversation, can we?

[river-grunfeld]

"Accept the science" and you have yet to provide any actual science on the matter.

[inky-scrolls]

Hardly my job to, is it? It's widely available, and you evidently have access to the internet...

[river-grunfeld]

Access to the internet and yet zero scientific documentation of how artificial estrogen on a male causes period cramps, weird huh.

[inky-scrolls]

Hmm... You've not actually looked, have you? Look, it's fine you've detransitioned, but that doesn't devalue the experiences of trans people, okay? We're all different.

[river-grunfeld]

I've been in the community and on hrt for over a decade. I have never seen any scientifically documented evidence that artificial estrogen causes period like cramps, especially since you are missing the organ that causes those.

So yeah. If you want to make a wild claim, go ahead and back it up, I'll wait.

[inky-scrolls]

Oh I see, you've missed something. It's not only the uterus that cramps, it's the muscles surrounding it too. So even though I don't have a uterus, I *do* still have cramps (albeit comparatively mild ones).

[river-grunfeld]

Feel free to post litterally any scientific article to back up your point.

Menstrual cramps-Menstrual cramps - Symptoms & causes - Mayo Clinic

[antishave]

I see this misconception a lot and as a woman and someone who actually experiences crazy painful cramps I'd like to clear it up. @ex-tgirl is right. The reason we experience cramps during menstruation is because the uterus itself is contracting to expel its own lining.

(source)

As it says, the uterus has thick muscular walls that contract to expel the lining, causing the pain.

Now, @inkyscrolls, you also mentioned the muscles surrounding the uterus. I would just like to point out that those muscles also do not exist in the male anatomy, which is why uterine transplants into MTF patients are viewed as quite risky in current science - they would have to use much more of the donor corpse than has been done in previous transplantations.

(source)

And finally, we come to the issue of the actual cyclical nature of the menstrual cycle. I don't claim to know how @inkyscrolls is taking hormones, so I'll go off of medical guidelines for MTF HRT and it would be kind if you all would let me know how it lines up.

First though, let's look at the female hormonal cycle from menarche to menopause.

As you can see, the hormones change throughout. Specifically, the hormone progesterone begins rising during the middle of the cycle (ovulation) and then goes all the way back down before the beginning of the cycle (menstruation). We can refer back to the first paper I posted to understand the effect on the uterine lining.

So we see that the contractions are caused specifically by the monthly drop in progesterone. Now let's take a look at the MTF HRT dose schedule:

(source)

OD = Once Daily

BID = Twice Daily (bis en die)

1/52 = Weekly

2/52 = Twice A Week

I looked at quite a few charts on this but they all seem to be roughly the same. The essence is that none of these medications are dosed in the monthly pattern that the female body "doses" itself with its hormones. So why would they lead to a monthly cycle? It just doesn't make sense.

So in conclusion @inkyscrolls, nothing points to your specific experience being a female period, and everything appears to point to another explanation (maybe placebo) being the case. And I don't say that lightly, the human mind is a very strong thing and it can convince itself of a lot. So don't get too down about it... and maybe just be glad you don't have to have actual dysmenorrhea (like me lol), which is again, insanely painful.

[gendiebrainrotreceipts]

The absolutely countless trans day of remembrance events and services in the uk seems kinda weird when iirc at most one trans person was killed here this year

[an-awkward-tangerine]

Same in France, at my uni there are events all over with dramatic emphasis on high numbers but there was 1 murder, and it was an immigrant, male prostitute killed by a client. Mind you the trans movement defend clients and pimps but EVERY YEAR the most lethal violence is against vulnerable men in prostitution.

[femsolid]

They say 350 trans people were killed in 2024. Worldwide.

As said above, the numbers are low. It's mostly gay men being killed by other men; the background context is often prostitution. This is why most of those murders happen in latin america (254 out of 350) where there are lots of impoverished gay men who end up as prostituted transvestites. People in prostitution have an in incredibly low life expectency. But hey, keep calling it "empowering" and "sex positive" and us feminists "sex worker exclusionary" or whatever. The countries where trans people have been killed the most are Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and the USA.

8 people in the entire continent of Europe, 9 in Africa, 37 in Asia. 0 in Canada, 0 in Spain, 0 in Portugal, 0 in England, 0 in Sweden... Those are very low numbers.

The 41 of the USA could be linked to the higher population and an easy access to guns. Though I suspect, in the USA as well, prostitution might play a part. And with prostitution often comes drug deals.

The stats confirm that, most commonly, the victim's profession is prostitute, he is a male and the place of the killing is "the street, a field, forest, roadway, under a bridge, construction site, empty lot, abandoned building, car, van, hotel, motel, night club, bar, client's residence, park". And the victim is most likely to be a man of colour because the murders happen mostly in countries where people of colour live. They're killed by other men of colour.

It's pimps and "clients" and drug dealers doing the killings. You can't defend prostitution and then claim to support trans people, it seems to me.

They say "oh it's because of terfs, and transphobia in the media!" It's got nothing to do with the media, generally, and it certainly has nothing to do with feminists, who, by the way, never kill anyone. Trans people have never been this popular and supported in their entire, and admittedly short, history. Of course it comes with a conservative backlash, but that's not what's driving those killings, most of the time. In fact, in most countries, there are no killings at all. Zero. More disturbingly, in some countries, it's more likely that a "trans woman" will be a murderer than a murder victim. As was the case in Canada, where a man winked at the security camera before getting into the elevator to see his girlfriend or ex, stabbing her 23 times and mutilating her face, and then suffocating their two little girls (5 and 2 years old). He was sent to a women's prison during the trial, during which he showed up with a blond wig and claimed to be an "examplary mother" and a "soccer mom". The jury disagreed, he was convicted and sent back to a men's prison.

So, not to be too cynical about death, but that's a really low number overall. 350 out of an estimated 413 million trans people? That's not even one a day. And if half of it is happening in the same few countries, it means in most of the world, it's not happening. To put things into perspective, men kill a woman or girl every 10 minutes in the world. And they do so in western countries as well, because the murders are not circumstantial. They are part of an oppressive system. And that's not counting the attempted murders.

The thing is, trans people get lumped in "LGBT" stats, but when you look at it, it's gay men who are attacked the most, then lesbians, then bisexuals and then, far below, a tiny number of transvestites. Yet they call it a "holocaust."

If you try to find the statistics of gay people being killed, you'll have to dig, because most of the articles that come up are about trans people, despite being the least likely to be killed.

I type: "how many GAY people killed in 2024" on google and get:

Article 1: LGBTIQ people Article 2: Transgender Day of Remembrance, Transgender people Article 3: Murders of trans people Article 4: 350 transgender people murdered this year Article 5: Hates crimes motivated by gender identity Article 6: Suicide rates for queer and trans people Article 7: LGBTQ hate Article 8: LGBT homicide Article 9: Violence against transgender and gender-expansive people Article 10: 350 transgender people murdered in 2024 Article 11: LGBT victimization in the USA Article 12: LGBTQI+ Article 13: LGBTQ people Article 14: Trans Day of Remembrance

It's ridiculous.

[disillusionedmonster]

I have been thinking about "The Witch Trails of J.K Rowling" and in the podcast Phelps-Roper asks Rowling 'what if you are wrong?'. Rowling basically goes on to explain how she will apologise and then throw herself into activism and fund charities to help trans people etc etc. It just bothers me that Phelps-Roper didn't ask this to any of the trans ideology side, even just to get them thinking. The reality is that if they are wrong this means they have rolled back sex based protections and lgb protections for a lie which supports the oppressor class. It means that they have facilitated one of the biggest forms of medical malpractice that has ever existed. It means that they have misled an entire generation of young people, who were unable to receive the support they should have been getting under the grounds of conversion therapy, all while supporting conversion therapy rhetoric. And this is only the tip of the iceberg. I just really wish that someone would challenge the trans movement with this question and the person who is asked actually considers it and answers honestly.

[harrypotterheretic]

When it comes to this argument, women are always being put in a position where they are asked to consider the other side, the merits of the trans argument, and how trans women feel when they are told "no". The other side is never given the same treatment with regards to women .

This is because not only is this movement misogynistic, but the whole world is. Everyone expects women to "be kind", to put everyone else (men) first and accept that they can only talk about their rights as long as they consider everyone else's as well (ideally first) and have taken time to make sure that those rights are accommodated and met.

The fact that the other side are never asked to do the same shows that everyone interviewing knows who are the women and who are the men. Because men are allowed to put themselves first and centre themselves. As are tras. Because they are the same group and everyone knows it.

Women not so much. If we speak out we are accused of lying. If we provide evidence we are told we are bigoted for noticing and keeping receipts. When we are proved right beyond all doubt, we are told they would have listened to us if only we had been a bit politer, a bit nicer (a bit more lady like) as we asked for our rights to be uphold and fought against our erasure.

Following the supreme court ruling, so many of the women who got interviewed about it were asked to consider how trans people were feeling in the aftermath, and asked if they felt sorry for them (because they could no longer break the law). The trans people interviewed were never asked to consider how the women felt as their rights were trampled and they were sacked, arrested, taken to tribunal, beaten and abused on social media because they spoke about material reality and requested that businesses and services stop acting unlawfully.

Even as women win more and more ground, and sanity starts to return to discussion, women still have to abase themselves and apologise for existing if it inconveniences the tras. the trans "rights" are always considered more important than the women's ones. It's always anti-trans, and never pro women. But trans rights and arguments are never framed as "anti-women" even when they are taking our words and spaces and insulting us for being unhappy about it.

And when it is over (and women will have won) it will still be framed as if those who fought the battle were being hysterical, making a mountain out of a molehill. Being too shrill. Pearl clutching.

There will be talk (as we are seeing now) of "both sides" and "we need more light and less heat") and "if people just listen to each other, there must be a reasonable compromise..."

It will never be recognised that this entire gender war started out with women trying to reasonably discuss the conflict of rights, and looking for compromise. But that intransigence and extremism from the other side meant that women had to get firmer, and start fighting legal battles, and drawing lines in the sand.

A woman's place is forever in the wrong.

And even though JKRs interventions have been so instrumental in the fight back in the destruction of women's rights, and even though she will be vindiated, I worry that history will still remember that she was a big ol' meanie who got obsessed with trans people and went too far. They will deplore that she could not have been more level headed and reasonable, as their analysis after the fact will be. That she didn't look for compromise.

She did. And she genuinely considered her opinion. And kept considering it.

But people do not want to listen to women, and - above all else - they want women to be nice and kind and compliant.

JKR has not been, and that won't be forgotten by the misogynist historians.

It's why its so important that we keep receipts - of the death threats, the twisting of the narrative (eg the supreme court ruling removing rights), the agp fetishism, the insane claims (men saying they are biologically female, India Willoughby talking about his cervix), the harm being done to gender confused children and the double standard women are facing when being interviewed about these issues.

Because if people right here right now can STILL be ignorant of what is going on, and take the position that we all need to compromise and keep a level head, then in the future women will get cast as the villains - even when they have been declared the victors.

Women are continually being asked to consider the other side, because women are not considered whole human beings who are allowed to fight for their own interests. And this failure to respect women's rights to centre themselves, and acknowledge they are not mean because they stand up for what they believe and work to protect their own legal entitlements will continue to haunt the narrative of these gender wars for years to come.

"Yes, it turned out women did have rights, but it really wasn't sporting of them to insist on those rights being respected, when it made men sad that they couldn't have women's rights too."

omg your satirical post about the tumblr users crying about getting their blogs reported and terminated cracked me up bc it's soooo true! i've reported probably close to 100 of these blogs recently (i've got a ballpark estimate of a 75% success rate of getting them "nuked". it's all about compiling their nastiest posts and quoting the worst of them in the report. then it's bam, bam, bam, termination, termination, termination- tho it also depends on who's on staff at the time bc the same posts that get one blog nuked can get one blog marked with "mature", but they're fine). the victim complex is crazyyyy, talking about their terminated blogs like they're "corpses" or "they killed my friend! stop KILLING my friends!!!" and the constant baby talk (while being in their late 20s/30s, but they're "transage" so they're actually 5 or w/e). and they're all pointing fingers at the transmascs or the terfs or "evil staff", but not at pics of the fully erect "gocks" in their top posts.

whole time, i'm just being lil ol' me. and they'll never figure out who i am bc i have Thee most basic photography/fandom/music blog like i'm still rocking that 2014-era tumblr vibe, just chilling. i've got nothing in my blog that talks about transwomen or radical feminism (i'm a posuer...), not even anything super political. i'm just a normie in normietumblrlandia who despises rape fetishists, incest fetishists, women haters, and pedophiles (bc they cry and complain about "pedojacketing", but. c'mon. be fr. consider This post: https://archive.ph/ZCSbO. they own that label. ). someone even made a blog called "find-my-mutuals" for all the trans fems who've been personally victimized by staff (and_me.jpf). also, i think it's funny to read them cry type about losing their blogs when these full grown men talk about nothing but raping little girls all day (and i don't respect the "it's a kink!!!" argument, they can eat my ass about it). and the funniest part is when their blog is full of kidnapping/raping/molesting/grooming scenarios...and they're blog name is highlighted green on shinigami eyes. the jokes write themselves!

basically i encourage more people to quietly report a ton of these blogs and go about their day. it's so easy, and they only get deleted if you have a strong case (and these pervs make it soooo easy). maybe it sparks joy for some folks to screenshot and collect callouts and such, but it's just as fulfilling (to me!) to silently get a bunch of these csa rape fetish blogs deleted in what they keep calling "ban waves", when it's just me and they all freak out bc they've got a victim complex as big as the fucking pacific lol

Awesome i love that its happening. Total hall monitor victory!!! I like when they use hall monitor as a slur. My girlfriend has been pointing out that if someone was yelling "Rape me im 4 years old" in the hall at an educational institution, you'd certainly hope a hall monitor would be there to alert the administration :-) Not every social contract is oppressive. Some of them, like "don't post explicit images/gore/bestiality, or promote child abuse/violence on this platform" are actually very reasonable expectations that many of us recognize the benefits of and have no trouble complying with

Their little "thoughts don't hurt people" thing and it's like, these aren't thoughts in your head, i just fucking read them, are you stupid....? It's a blog post. Ruminating on your darkest thoughts, performing reenactments of them, orgasming to them, and encouraging others to do the same is materially different from a glancing, ego dystonic thought that does no harm. They would im sure also genuinely argue that a teen with a "pretend" school shooting planned in his notebook that he tells all his friends about shouldn't be spoken with, but i disagree :)

Theyre so funny saying it's staff and discrimination i dont think staff ever does um, anything at all without reports on posts that clearly violate the rules. And the idea it's targeting transfems like... the blogs going down absolutely include TME people who are posting disgusting shit all day, it's just that for unknown reasons, the proportions seem to dramatically favor TMA individuals 🤔🧐🤓

Also kindaaa seems like some of them after getting termed like 3 times a lot of them do stop breaking the rules for a while ♥️ Obviously its a sisyphean task and can be too upsetting to be worth it but it also is fucking awesome when it's viable for someone

Genuinely having so many of these blogs going down DOES interfere with some people's ability to find illegal porn/network to locate fucking bestiality victims/setting up insane people to consensually beat the fuck out of/etc. Plus, sorry, I don't think it's neutral to publicly roleplay as a raped 4 year old or animal, destigmatize the behavior, and encourage others to join you!!! I don't find it neutral to assault people, regardless of how they feel about it!!

Egging on pedophiles to engage online for many hours a day with their fixation on child rape (and also for many, replicating it as closely as possible irl with adults) actually in every world will result in more people offending and creates communities where child porn is likely distributed between some members. I literally saw a "mostly fantasy" bestiality blogger whining the other day about a bot in their bustling animal rape tags trying to sell them child porn. "Just dont look if it bothers you!!!" Is actually something someone could easily say about any abusive sex practice in real life. The reality is that some people want bad things to stop happening or at least happen less, they don't just want to pretend the world is a better place than it is

The paraphile tumblr insistence that it's actually only parents and schools and churches etc raping kids also makes me insane. How the fuck are you not contributing to the broader culture enabling incest when you say it's beautiful and liberatory to larp as rapist parents/raped children? Many institutions prop up power imbalances, but they often don't explicitly encourage raping people en masse and as a bonding behavior. The actual abuse happens in individual abusive relationships (often propped up in part by a broader context) and esp re: creating and sharing abuse images/porn, it happens in smaller discrete social networks of the exact kind being formed inside the broader extreme power differential rife social context of paraphile tumblr 😍 extremely troubling read but epidemic: america's trade in child rape by lori handrahan is a great explainer on how child porn is distributed, america produces the most (foster children overwhelmingly being the victims) and it's spread most on a small scale through trading abuse images in the context of fairly high trust and intimate social connections

Bestiality, snuff, necrophilia etc work the same way. Disrupting public online networking of people expressing a "pretend" sexual obsession strongly associated with illegal image trades/committing the crimes necessary to create "material" you need for trading/establishing trust with people you want materials from is a legitimate feminist activity
