female separatism isn't necessarily possible for every woman to do immediately, but I think steps towards it are.

if you can't control if men come on your property, restrict where they go- have your room off-limits if you're in an apartment. if your social circle has men in it, organize a "girl's night" where you can congregate without men around. read books only written by women for a few months. refuse to sit through songs or movies with misogynistic themes. if you can't shop at women-owned businesses, due to cost or availability, start leaving good reviews for female staff and encouraging management to promote them. recommend other women for jobs if your employer is hiring. talk to your female coworkers about sexual harassment laws. learn landlord-tenant laws and tell your friends to do the same- some US states allow you to break a lease w no penalty if fleeing domestic violence in some cases. know where you can get free menstrual products, where women's shelters and clinics are, and let other women know.

none of this is full separatism, and a lot of it isn't separatism at all, but they're all steps that can be taken.

I don't think it's talked about enough how the knowledge of women's millennia-long subjugation under patriarchy feels so incredibly demeaning and what it does to young girls self esteem when when they learn about it in school. I remember being 12 or 13 in history class learning about the Romans and how women were considered property to be passed from their father to their husband and for the first time feeling this awful and disheartening sense of humiliation and embarrassment, especially sitting there among my male pupils, being told by the male history teacher over and over throughout every single historical period that we were second-class citizens. What it must do to a girl's self esteem on a subconscious level, how it then might affect everything you say and do, not even mentioning how the misogyny in their daily lives affects them. My heart kind of broke when I realised that

The experiences of gays and lesbians are significantly different from those of bisexual people, especially bisexuals who primarily go through the world in opposite-sex relationships. We should be able to talk about life as exclusively same-sex attracted people without being pressured to modify our language for the sake of “inclusivity”

Unpopular opinion: if you are on your phone, you are not resting. Human brains literally need complete downtime to function properly. This means time spent not reading, not scrolling, not listening to music or podcasts, not tidying up, not having TV on in the background. I'm not good at implementing this either but that doesn't make it less true

This is so hard because I’ve definitely trained my brain to crave constant input but I’m working on what I like to call “cultivating boredom.” I find it makes me more creative to be completely idle sometimes. And interestingly it’s also easier to be completely idle when I’m outside. Ape brain shit.

"I don't object to them on other women, mind you..."

the "...I simply prefer them /off/ other women ;)" is palpable 💖😈

#Gluck is such an all time babe

"Anything other than medical and surgical transition on demand is conversion therapy" does not make sense if you're understanding gender dysphoria/GID as a disorder.

If it's a disorder, then you should want people to try less expensive, less invasive, less dangerous treatments. You should want those to be the first line of treatment. You should want more research into those kinds of interventions. Because that would actually be better for people who suffer from the disorder.

If it's not a disorder, then your transition is entirely elective and you have no standing to demand healthcare coverage or public and social accommodations for gender affirmation.

It can't be both.
