If you disagree with this, you’re denying that intersex people exist/have a right to exist, just sayin.

[nada-mal]

I disagree with this because my intersex disorder (Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia) is not a different sex. My diagnosis is specific to the presentation and symptoms expressed in a female body. Many intersex diagnoses - including Klinefelter’s, Turner’s, and hypospadias - continue to resemble our birth sex without confusion.

If you disagree with this, you’re denying how variations on human sexual dimorphism cause significant problems to our health and fertility.

Disorders of sex development reveal variation, not deliberate and distinct categories. If you read the archives of intersex advocacy organizations like OII or ISNA, we strongly reject being othered as fake males and females. Your ableist approach to erasing our chromosomal and phenotypic abnormalities to mark us separate but equal is not shared by the intersex community, medical professionals, or intersex activists. 

Dr. Leonard Sax wrote, “This type of extreme social constructionism is confusing and is not helpful to clinicians, to their patients, or to their patients’ families. Diluting the term intersex to include “any deviation from the Platonic ideal of sexual dimorphism” (Blackless et al., 2000, p. 152), deprives the term of any clinically useful meaning. The available data support the conclusion that human sexuality is a dichotomy, not a continuum. More than 99.98% of humans are either male or female. If the term intersex is to retain any clinical meaning, the use of this term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. The birth of an intersex child, far from being ‘a fairly common phenomenon,’ is actually a rare event, occurring in fewer than 2 out of every 10,000 births.”

The Intersex Society of North America rejected raising intersex babies as a third sex with this statement: “Sorry, gender warriors… We believe there are two problems with trying to raise kids in a ‘third gender.’ First, how would we decide who would count in the ‘third gender’? How would we decide where to cut off the category of male and begin the category of intersex, or, on the other side of the spectrum, where to cut off the category of intersex to begin the category of female? Second, and much more importantly, we are trying to make the world a safe place for intersexed kids, and we don’t think labeling them with a gender category that in essence doesn’t exist would help them.”

Your flag is a lie.

[shinhati]

hm how to put this. i think it would be more productive to go after queer theory as a whole instead of just the bits that we group together and name "trans ideology." queer theory is the thing that's actually used to validate trans shit in universities/held up by academics (who governments regard as experts) so like until it goes none of the trans stuff will go either

[girlsmoonsandstars]

if brain sex was real wouldnt gender doctors just require a single simple brain scan to confirm patients are really trans and then let you skip the alleged gatekeeping of medical care or

the fact that John Money actually is called John Money is so fucking funny.. he sounds like a batman villain.. here we have this guy that made up the concept of gender identity, said that pedophilia is alright, mutilated a boy and psychologically abused him until he committed suicide and wrote a bunch of articles about how he did a great job and now 60 years later we have a sexual reassignment surgery industry worth billions of dollars and children put on risky puberty blockers + hormones not to mention it being transphobic not to fuck someone bc of their sex.. he really do be John Money

[hidetothink]

Never getting over how my Christian school psychologist would tell me that my homosexuality was sinful, in part, because it made me view the opposite sex as only their genitals

How, if I would just see them as complete people, I wouldn't be homosexual anymore

Now I have progressive homophobes saying the exact same thing

"If you would stop being so shallow and only seeing trans people as what's in their pants, you wouldn't be such a fucking genital obsessed pervert"

This isn't even being melodramatic

Those are the exact words I've been sent over anon, even told by people I know in real life

Today's trans-activism has become so incredibly drenched in homophobia that it's often indistinguishable from the rhetoric of traditional Christian homophobes

The kind of people who told me I would die of AIDS simply because I was a homosexual

Frankly, fuck you all and your incessant apathy

Fuck your refusal to listen to actual homosexuals and instead assert your own opposite-sex attraction as justification for being "a voice of the queer community"

And if you ever somehow gain enough empathy to realize the literal evil you're working in the world. Know that plenty of us will not forgive you

Remember when trump said “grab them by the pussy” and part of the response in the woman’s march was to make the pussy hats and then people were mad it wasn’t inclusive to wiener havers? A sexual predator was president talking about harassing women and people were mad their dicks weren’t included in the protest 💀

[movedto-transmisogynistic-deact]

You’re… you’re on my post 💀

[shes-unforgettable]

People HATE it when women speak about their lives. They absolutely DESPISE testimonies about our own experiences and when we say what has been done to us. And trying to speak in a way that allows other women to identify with what you've said and connect the dots to realise that it's a systemic problem is an even greater sin.

Janelle Monáe came out as nonbinary...the singer of Pynk....

"I just don’t see myself as a woman solely. I feel all of my energy. I feel like God is so much bigger than the ‘he’ or the ‘she,’ she said. “And if I am from God, I am everything. But I will always, always stand with women. I will always stand with Black women. But I just see everything that I am, beyond the binary.”

The misogyny present....."I will stand with women but I'm just more complex and beyond other women." #NotLikeOtherGirls

Christ....disappointing is an understatement.

[awoman-is-alive]

what do you have that women do not have? what do women lack in your eyes? women are everything to me. are they not to you?

[rigidlyflexible]

@awomanisalive I literally can't stop thinking about what you said, holy shit

like how are you so drastically different from all other women??

besides being openly misogynistic, identifying as non-binary is so narcissistic; y'all think you're so unique that the label of woman holds YOU back?

[awoman-is-alive]

at this point it is the number one question in my mind when i speak to any nonbinary woman. because thats the main thing it comes down to....what makes you so different from me (or ‘so much more’ than me)?  ive sort of gone around in circles with tifs before when they try to describe their vague gender feelings or claim “its something you just know!!” and normally they try to use “i dont know what a woman is because im not a woman!!” as a cop out. but then i ask “if you dont know what a woman is, but know you are NOT a woman, when you look at a woman and hear her speak, what makes you think ‘i am not that’?” they always fumble in their answers or just ignore the question. because the answer is misogynistic and they know that

[gh6stly]

do terfs consider infertile women, intersex women, cis women w/o uteruses/vaginas for any reason, cis women seen as men, cis women with pcos, cis women with facial hair, cis women without breasts, etc. not to be women either?

[appropriately-inappropriate]

You have no idea what radical feminism espouses or you wouldn’t have posted this.

But to answer: the definition of woman is “adult human female”.

Adult: of or above the age of physical, legal, or psychological maturity.

Human: a member of the species Homo Sapiens Sapiens.

Female: a member of the species with sessile reproductive gametes and, in mammals. the potentiality to give birth

So now that we have the definitions, let’s examine your examples.

Infertile women — still women. The are still adults (fertility being a feature of adulthood), humans (obviously) and female (because their inability to produce functional ovum does not negate their ability to ovulate, menstruate or achieve menopause).

Intersex women — if they’re XX, are still women. They are adults (many women don’t know they’re intersex until they fail to menstruate in adulthood), they’re humans, and provided that their chromosomes are XX — their disorder of sexual development is nevertheless predicated on the presence of that second X.

(Also, the Intersex community has spent the last decade requesting that their medical issue not be used as a transgender argumentative point. When are you going to learn to respect their wishes?)

Cis women born without vaginas/uteruses, or those who have had them removed — still women. They’re adults, they’re human, and they’re female. After all, someone born without a leg is still a member of a bipedal species; a woman born without a uterus suffers from lifelong medical concerns. A woman who’s lost her ovaries and uterus to cancer, like my aunt so tread carefully here, are still women because they had their female reproductive organs and had to remove them in a medical procedure. Amputating a leg doesn’t make you a flamingo.

Cis women seen as men — still women. Public perception doesn’t change reality. Rachel Dolezal spent her adult life being seen as black. Doesn’t mean she is.

Cis women with PCOS — still female. Having ovarian cysts is extremely common in women, and requires an ovary to become cystic. A malfunctioning female organ is still a female organ. Duh.

Cis women with facial hair — still women, because every woman has facial hair. Do you really think that every chick who signs up for laser hair removal on her chin and upper lip are secretly dudes? God bless your heart, honey.

Cis women without breasts — still women. They’re adult. They’re human. They’re female.

Seriously, were these your best examples? Christ.

[researchgate]

women with VSDs aren't always XX, but are still female. SRY and androgen receptors have important role in fetuses becoming male.

[sapphos-catpanions]

i love when post-op trans women try to cope by saying “remember that there is soo much variation even in cis vulvas, and no vulva is perfect” because excuse me, my vulva actually is perfect. she is flawless. so speak for yourself, sir.
