“Because I feel that I am a woman, you are obligated to treat me as if I actually am, otherwise, you are transphobic. As I insist on participating as a woman in your groups, gatherings, or spaces, you must also forgo discussing anything about your female socialization, female anatomy, or female functions, because it hurts my feelings. My experience of feeling like a woman, must not be invalidated by your experiences of being a woman, therefore, I will shame you for being female; teach you in university to estrange your body from your mind; make our differences, and your distinct physicality (and oppression that is specific to your sex) irrelevant, until there is only the mind. Now, only how I think about your body is real. Mind over body. Mind over matter. Spirit over matter/mater/mother. My word is now more real than your mitochondrial DNA. Now, accept the fact, that by my word, you do not exist.”

God, I hope y’all realize this, but men aren’t stupid. 

I know we like to say that sometimes, and as much as it feels good to say, it’s just not true. Men have dominated the Earth, created patriarchy, and have managed to sustain it for thousands of years. Men know how trap women in relationships and know how to abuse them in a way that makes them want to stay. They know how to get away with rape; they filled the courts and judges with men who excuse violent men. The police are more likely to intimidate rape victims than help them get justice. They know how to get women to join in with their dirty work, do their dirty work. They’ve brainwashed women into somehow thinking porn, our rape on tape, is acceptable. That liberation has already been achieved. 

Y’all say men are stupid because they don’t know where the clit is, but it’s not because they’re stupid, it’s because they just don’t care. They know exactly how to keep us under their shoe with ease.

The pretence on here that men are wholly parasitic, that they invented nothing, have no talents or abilities or intelligence, serves no good purpose. As you said - they don’t lack intelligence at all. A moral compass that acknowledges women as human beings rather than subsidiaries, sympathy, responsibility  - all those things many of them lack. And of course many are irredeemably stupid, as are many women. But there’s no point in the “men are stupid” line. It’s playing along with them in many ways.

The Craft (1996)

[radcybergoth]

My only real criticism of The Craft is how when Nancy demands actual real power, real revenge on rapist assholes, and shows real rage against a lifetime of misogyny….she’s painted as the villain and idk I don’t like that.

“Suppose, for instance, that men were only represented in literature as the lovers of women, and were never the friends of men, soldiers, thinkers, dreamers; how few parts in the plays of Shakespeare could be allotted to them; how literature would suffer! We might perhaps have most of Othello; and a good deal of Antony; but no Caesar, no Brutus, no Hamlet, no Lear, no Jaques–literature would be incredibly impoverished, as indeed literature is impoverished beyond our counting by the doors that have been shut upon women.”

Highly encourage people to read Vanada Shiva’s work regarding these issues. She discusses this as well as eco feminist theory in an incredibly insightful way, and makes it really accessbile.

[antilla-dean]

Ignoring that truth is, in so many ways, the difference between life and death.

“It was a blind spot,” Clayton says. “There hasn’t been a really scientific understanding of how important sex is—that this is a basic biological variable that affects us down to the cellular level.” The lack of appreciation for sex differences in both education and research is largely to blame for the bias women may face when seeking diagnoses and for the lower-quality care female patients are likely to receive. “Women are not just men with boobs and tubes,” says Dr. Janice Werbinski, a gynecologist and executive director of the Sex and Gender Women’s Health Collaborative. “We can actually harm women by not researching them correctly and knowing the differences.”

Wanting to have a girl to be a surrogate mom is wrong.

I think men overall just don’t understand that we cannot stop the blood. If there’s nothing to collect it, it’s going everywhere. Everyone can hold a shit, can hold a piss, and can hold back sex, until it’s convenient. When we bleed there is just no stopping it. It doesn’t matter if there’s nothing to catch the blood, it will keep coming.

That’s why this free-tampon discussion is over your heads. You don’t get it. You can compare it to toilet paper or condoms all you want but we all have control over those things. When we bleed, we keep bleeding until it’s done. There’s no clenching or muscle training that will keep us from bleeding everywhere.

So stop talking about what you don’t understand. If condoms can be free, so can tampons.

[hymnsofheresy]

even if you are pro-life, you have to understand that legally calling abortion “murder” makes every single miscarriage technically “involuntary manslaughter” and can be subject to prosecution. in making abortion illegal, you are making miscarriage also illegal. this isn’t just hypothetical, this already happens.

People just want abuse victims that are soft and kind and gentle, the kind of victims who validate their beliefs that “everything happens for a reason”. It doesn’t occur to these people that abuse actually damages people, that it could turn victims bitter and resentful rather than into poster-children for resilience and inner-strength. Victims don’t just exist to pay homage to your worldview that “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” as if abuse could ever be a positive or an experience to be grateful for. 

[radmenace]

angry victims are valid as hell

STOP letting mentally ill people opt for extreme cosmetic surgeries! EVERY SINGLE DOCTOR who played along with this is complicit! EVERY SINGLE TRANSACTIVIST who advocates gender “corrective” surgery is a fucking criminal facilitator!

Dysphoria and dysmorphia, as with any mental incongruity, should NEVER be treated with cosmetic surgery! THIS is why I criticize Transactivism! This is reprehensible! There is no reason for this person to suffer like this, and hopefully they don’t die of sepsis.

[ms-hells-bells]

“closing up and narrowing for no reason”? was this poor soul told to dilate every single day? were they told of the consequences of not doing so? and necrosis means that there either was an infection for a very long time, or that the skin grafted up died instead of taking. why were they not being checked up on regularly by the surgeon or doctors familiar with neo-vaginas? even doctors with no clue about them can tell when an infection and tissue death is occurring. did they seriously just do a major invasive surgery and chuck him on his way without any plan for long term check ups?? there is an incredible amount of medical malpractice and extremely poor decisions made by the professionals around him. 

[appropriately-inappropriate]

And that’s the thing, isn’t it?

This just fucking sucks. This is a surgery with a number of significant potential complications. The risk of tissue necrosis, graft rejection and post-surgical infection are astronomical.

The new neovagina often develops infections due to colonies of staph, E. coli, and strep. The skin used is non-mucosal, which means that dilation causes micro-tears in the skin — which can subsequently lead to infection, rejection and necrosis.

Neovaginas often grow hair, frequently produce smegma, and require painful daily dilation — forever.

The fact that I know this, and trans-identified males don’t, tells me that these doctors are failing their patients. Informed consent means informing patients of the potential negative outcomes, in addition to the positive ones.

Honestly, the lawsuits that are going to come out of this…

And if the tissue’s gone necrotic, I hope he’s getting this checked. If the infection hits his bloodstream, he’ll be dead.

[ms-hells-bells]

i have already heard of multiple TIMs dying from necrosis and blood infections after surgeries. for any other procedure on earth, the rate of complications and death would be considered a  travesty and result in the procedures being banned unless the only alternative is death. the fact that surgeons not only perform these knowing that the best case scenario is more surgeries down the line and medical care for the rest of their lives, but they also downplay and hide the results and complications and the fact that so much of this is literally experimental, is disgusting. it certainly affirms my view that plastic surgeons are one of the stand out results of capitalism on the medical industry. no ethics.

[ashermajestywishes]

That man needs a lawyer. Someone needs to go to jail.

[spacemonkeyg78]

Please for the love of god if any TIM reads this post and is experiencing complications with their surgical area do NOT waste valuable time seeking a gyn, these doctors study FEMALE reproductive health, consult with the surgeon or surgical group who did the original procedure.

Risking your life to obtain momentary feelings of external validation you get by going to a gyn is not worth it.

[sillylandblaze]

TRAs, this is the kind of thing radfems are talking about when we’re openly critical of the medical/cosmetic/surgical industries.

PLEASE understand that the whole notion of “corrective surgery” for trans-identified individuals is morally corrupt! It’s all about greedy doctors taking your hard earned cash from you and continuing the perverse capitalist agenda!

Wishbone was a PBS series about a terrier that assumed the role of literary characters like Frankenstein and Odysseus and dressed up.

I’ve found it’s very hard to explain this one to people who weren’t there.
