@haunted-uterus
Alright, my lovelies. I’m switching to my newer blog now, mostly permanently. I created a new one because I’m shadow banned for saying that gross-ass nazi seeger is not a lesbian, so it has been a pain in the ass to interact with all the amazing radfems and radfem allies on this hellsite. The new blog is @the-haunted-uterus .
came across a reddit thread in which a bunch of men discussed a video game where the player can punish or reward little nonhuman creatures in order to train them, and someone said it disturbed him to learn that some players punish the creatures more than is needed, because they (the players) just seem to enjoy it. this triggered a debate on whether it’s unethical or no big deal to hurt virtual creatures who don’t feel pain and aren’t sentient, and the consensus was that it’s wrong, because it’s not about whether the creature feels pain or minds being punished, it’s about the fact that the player enjoys doing this to them and that means something is wrong with him
what are the odds that this random sample of men on reddit are anti-prostitution activists and tell their male friends there’s something wrong with them if they watch porn? lol their thread literally sounded like a radfem post about how it doesn’t matter if a woman in porn / prostitution / bdsm consents to what’s being done to her or claims to enjoy being degraded, it’s about men’s enjoyment of practices that degrade and hurt women, and what it means. turns out men perfectly understand the concept, they just don’t think it applies to these topics because they feel more empathy towards nonsentient nonhuman video game creatures than towards women

The brutal murder of a prostituted woman in Argentina is no longer being reported as a “femicide” after it was discovered that her killers did not identify as male.
And THIS is why sex-based identification is important. So that femicide can be labelled as what it is, and so that violence against women doesn't get swept under the rug.
why is it so hard for people to respect others identities? like i don't understand what misgendering someone does for you as opposed to using the correct terminology? like seriously whats the point?
like why are we in 2022 invlidating people for stupid reasons?
QUEER PEOPLE DON'T NEED TO PROVE THEIR IDENTITIES. LET THEM BE.
The stuff ive been seeing online lately is genuinely disgusting and it makes me feel like shit because I dont identity with any labels.
I just exist, can't that be enough?
Why should I use terminology that reinforces beliefs I don't share?
Just because you want to be seen a certain way doesn't mean you will be, especially if there's no evidence you are what you say you are.
Does ANY identity that is professed require other people to "validate" it?
There are evangelical Christians who identify as warriors of their god and believe they possess special powers. Do I need to play along and agree that they are and do?
My work as a prostitute led me to oppose decriminalisation

Prostitution is Violence Against Women
What is the Nordic Model? The Nordic Model approach to #prostitution decriminalises all those who are prostituted, provides support services to help them exit, and makes buying people for sex a criminal offence.

It's so funny how terfs will literally just make up teenagers who are getting top/bottom surgery & going on hormones so that they can get mad about it
jazz jennings got bottom surgery at 17. we aren't making anyone up.
Kim Petras - Wikipedia
it takes very little effort to refute “nobody is doing surgeries on trans children”
so now what, @anarchist-mariner ? let me guess…. it’s perfectly ok to cut healthy body parts off of children with knives, because they weren’t planning on using them anyway. protect trans kids!!!
here, have another one
TRAs put little hearts all over the poster decrying male violence against women. When will people wake up that this is nothing but a hate movement against women?
Literally sooo telling of what their movement really stands for: blocking out the voices of battered women.
It’s just men’s rights activism in shitty makeup and ugly dresses

Now who would have predicted that
Wow, diversity win!
I love how @runwaylooks asked us what radical feminist has done and continues to do to this day, and then immediately deletes the post.
Anways…
1. Arab radical feminists liberating women across the Middle East (here, here)
2. African feminists bringing exposure to and addressing issues such as FGM and menstrual stigma. Examples include Laetitia Ky, Hibo Wardere, Sylvia Chioma, Nomcebo Mkhaliphi who you can all read more about here, since they were all under attack by trans activists over their activism.
3. Radical feminism rising all across Latin America, addressing issues such as femicide and abortion rights (here, here, here). Speaking of radical feminism in Latin America, you can watch this discussion with Bruna Santiago, the co-editor of Radical Feminism Magazine QG Feminista (a radical feminist magazine in Brazil) here, including other radical / gender-critical feminists. These are all comprised of women who work to bring awareness to women’s sex-based rights, among other feminist topics in Brazil (femicide, abortion, sexual violence).
4. Radical feminists in South Korea developing the 4B (”4 ‘No’s”) movement to liberate women in the country from centering men, and other patriarchal practices, from their lives. You can read more about it here, here, and here. Speaking of feminism in South Korea, it has actually grown more radical feminist as the country descends more into extreme patriarchy. They also address femicide and abortion rights, among many other topics.
5. French radical feminists fighting against violence against women in their country, as well as street violence and harassment (here)
6. Groups like Radical Women that continue to unite and uphold womens’ activism in various regions (here is the link to their website where you can browse around)
And those are just some, I’m sure we can find much more.
Old school homophobia. Comparing homosexuality to bestiality.
Also, once again the "sex and gender are different crowd" are deliberately obscuring the two.
it’s always always ALWAYS about calling gay people perverts in some way or another, and acting like we can’t actually be in a loving relationship with another human being of the SAME SEX
It doesn't stop being homophobia just because you add in a few new buzzwords.
Each graduating class at my school choses two academically and socially commendable students to represent the year. Their photos are kept in a very long, very pretty line dating back to the schools founding. Up until ~2015, it was required that one boy and one girl was chosen, head boy and head girl. Then, after the school board told them that it was not gender inclusive enough, the positions were changed to two co president positions that could be filled by anyone. Low and behold, since then not a single girl has been chosen, not in seven years. Removing a system that supports women does not make anything more gender inclusive, it makes it more male dominated.
For six years, a Native woman from the White Earth Band fought for custody of her granddaughter. Now, the Brackeen v. Haaland case threatens
A few days ago, I blazed a post about the SCOTUS threat to ICWA. Today I want to share one of the stories at the center of the case.
To recap for anyone unaware of the situation. From America's early years, it kidnapped indigenoua children and forced them into boarding schools where they would be abused and forcily assimilated into Anglo-European culture, and some were even murdered. Some children were kidnapped and then given to White families to adopt. The explicit goal of this, which can be found stated in numerous documents by the people who did this, was to destroy Native American and Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian cultures. This lasted into the 1970s. Therr are survivors of this period alive today.
To combat it, the Indian Child Welfare Act was passed, which gives Native American and Alaska Native tribes control over the foster care placement of the tribes' children.
But now, ICWA is being challenged. Here's an article about one of the cases.
Robyn Bradshaw, a boarding school survivor, helped raise her grandaughter. When her daughter struggled with substance use disorder, Robyn took custody. But due to treatment costs, the family lost their home. They stayed with friends for a while, but Robyn was able to find a new home for them. But she needed to finalize the arrangements, so she left her grandchild with her father.
The father disappeared with her while Robyn was trying to secure a good home for her grandchild. He committed a drug offense, and her grandchild was taken into foster care.
When Robyn tried to pick her grandchild up, the state refused. They moved the child through seven different foster homes over 2 years, despite the fact that she had a grandmother who loved her and wanted her back so badly she attendes every single court hearing.
"The reason for Bradshaw’s disqualification? A 15-year-old felony conviction for receipt of stolen property. No one informed Bradshaw that she could have had the record cleared, court filings show.
"Ultimately, Bradshaw did clear her record. But not before the “error led to considerable and unnecessary trauma,” according to records filed to the Minnesota trial courts."
Ultimately, Bradshaw was able to regain custody, and multiple courts have decided that her grandchild has a deep bond with her grandmother, but the Cliffords (the grandchild's former foster family is fighting for control.
Did Bradshaw make mistakes in her past? Yes. Should she have trusted the father. We don't know. We don't know how much she knew of him. But she has done nothing that should bar her from custody.
The decision should be up to the tribe, not thr SCOTUS. In addition to ICWA, Native American and Alaska Native tribes are sovereign nations. If the government of Scotland came and told a US grandmother to give up her grandchild, the US government would not take that kindly.
Edit: Please boost this. Tumblr refuses to Blaze it, and I find that troubling because they also don't Blaze posts about Mahsa/Jina Amini or abortion. They Blazed my other post about ICWA, so maybe I shouldn't be too suspicious, but I am. @staff
Can't have a single, solitary space for just female people. It's literal violence. Transwomen get murdered because they can't go to this one space.
They're such fucking babies. Everytime they don't get their way, they have to say its akin to genocide to deny them. What a fucking insult to actual victims of genocide.
hey terfs the lgbt community was started by twoc. so like. you wouldnt be proud to call yourself a lesbian if it wasnt for marsha p. johnson and sylvia rivera
I’m proud to call myself a lesbian because I’m not ashamed of being homosexual. Because Stormé DeLarverie is famously considered the catalyst of the Stonewall Riots. Marsha P. Johnson was a drag queen and male transvestite who called himself a man in an interview days before his death and he confirmed that Sylvia Rivera spent the riots on a park bench sleeping off a heroin high. Oh and Rivera never actually identified as transgender, he didn’t like the word.
This homophobic revisionist history started long after their deaths. Gay people were responsible for the riots. Gay people were standing up for their rights even before the riots. Gay people are responsible for our own rights movement. Transvestites and transsexuals were largely understood to be gay people and that’s where the “T” came from two decades after the riots.
The modern trans movement are a bunch of homophobic hangers on who are now trying to shove gay people out of their own movement even as they demand our labor, attention, allegiance and bodies.
Not to mention that other places than the USA exists and we have completely different history when it comes to the LGBT community. So maybe you trans activists should stop living in your America-centric bubble?
Written by and about the founders of the Daughters of Bilitis:
So, even if we remain American-centric - the above happened in the 1940s. 10 years later the women who wrote this founded the DoB. I know this is really really inconvenient for you and the myths you think will become true if you repeat them often enough, but lesbians were forming communities and were proud to call themselves lesbians before Marsha Johnson and Sylvia Rivera were even born.
This is Barbara Gittings. She makes me proud to call myself a lesbian. She fought for our rights before stonewall happened and later played a key role in the American Psychiatric Association removing homosexuality from its list of mental disorders in 1973. “Gay people didn’t have a face until Barbara started demonstrating in 1965,” said Mark Segal, publisher of Philadelphia Gay News. Also Marsha Johnson didn’t get gay people rights all by himself. Hundreds if not thousands were involved in the stonewall riots. Then organizations such as the GLF and the GAA were formed. Also Johnson apparently said that Sylvia Rivera wasn’t even there the first night. Kind of ironic that Rivera actually gets more credit for stonewall than Delarverie, who was there. In any case, giving any one person all the credit for where we are now is short sighted and just.. erases so many people. Barbara Gittings should receive credit for giving the gay movement “a [public] face” in the US, but so many more people came before and after to her. Let’s not forget Harry Hay, either, who started the country’s first successful gay liberation organization, the Mattachine Society, in 1950. And that’s the US. There was an gay rights organization established in Amsterdam called the Cultuur en Ontspanningscentrum that predates even that.
Once again, terf just means lesbian
