About this blog

Hi ! Luma's here !

Just so you know, I mostly queue other's posts, but if I say something, I'll add the tag "LumaSaid" or "LumaAsk" so it can be found back in my sea of reblogs.

I like to design french LGB / Radfem stickers like this ones and I'm very open to suggestions of slogans and designs <3

The legend says that somewhere in the abyss of tumblr, lies a blog full of only my art...

I may or may not add an "about me" under a cut. Will decide later.

Thank you Derek, menswear guide, for reminding me why paying more to be free advertising for brands is dumb.

The trans community talks a lot about how "dangerous terf rhetoric" supposedly leads to violence against the trans community even when what is being said is just "sex is real"

So my question to you is what type of violence does "kill all terfs" summon?

Trans activism has a murderous streak

A crazed misogynist threatened to carry out massacres at all-girls schools as an act of revenge against TERFs.

People are so indoctrinated by patriarchy that mentioning something neutral like "men on average are physically stronger than women" will get you accused of saying women are inferior to men. Like, nobody said that, you are the one who believes physical strength equals worthiness and value as a human being and is projecting it on completely neutral assumptions.

"So yeah, for well over a decade, the discourse  around low birth rates and demographic crisis has  treated as a major issue in the media. But in  the Korean press, this population crisis usually framed through issues like extreme competition  among young people, economic insecurity,  shigh private education costs, and long working hours. They are all right, but in other words, the domino narrative is that young people cannot  afford to have children even if they want to, because they cannot find stable jobs or earn  enough money, but in fact, that is a very male-centered perspective. And under patriarchy,  men are still expected to be breadwinners who earn enough to have a household and provide financial  stability.

So this narrative is really expressing male anxiety, that it has become harder for them  to fulfill that role and build a family. For women though, the more fundamental issue is often not  just money, it is the fear that marriage and childbirth will derail their lives and destroy the  work and stability they have built for themselves. But that side of the story is often overlooked in  both media coverage and political discussion. In fact, as more women have entered higher education  and the workforce, there has also been a growing  resentment toward women's economic independence  with some people suggesting that women's social advancement has made it harder for men to find jobs and become household heads.  

And when the media covers women who do not  give birth, it almost always portrays them as women who just desperately want children, but are  unable to have them for various reasons. And the idea that some women simply do not want children  in the first place is rarely acknowledged. And that is one reason the 4B movement is almost never  taken up as a serious agenda in mainstream media, especially in the major outlet. And a woman  who does not want marriage, childbirth, or even a male partner is treated in a Korean society almost like an alien or a herotic. And the media seems to think that even giving  such women visibility might influence other women who are still seen as so-called desirable  or normal by Korean society.

So the favored choice is to deny them a platform altogether.  And this is not dramatically different even in media that are considered progressive, and  that's another interesting part. Some people even argue that because Korea as a whole remains  so conservative, what passes as progressive here is still far less progressive than what that  word would imply in many Western contexts. So even progressive media and progressive political  parties do not take a particularly critical stance towards patriarchy itself.

So issues like the 4B  movement are simply never adopted as part of the agenda. And one last thing I want to say is there is a thing that the real power of the media lies not only in what it covers, but in what it chooses  not to cover, I think that explains very well how political that silence can be. And to me, this  deliberate and thorough indifference toward 4B women is one of the clearest expressions  of the mood of mainstream Korean society."

the most annoying thing abt the whole queer being reclaimed thing is like. yeah lots of fuckin slurs have been reclaimed. they still don't call women's studies bitch studies in college. they don't have n word theory 101. the fuck is anybody acting like it's cool for straight ppl and institutions to be throwing this word around like it's no big deal bc a couple of swingers with blue hair decided it was cool? wtf?

[bookstolookat]

Exactly! to copy what I said privately on the topic:

For most slurs, reclamation is considered an individual process. What one person may be comfortable with is not safe to presume everyone will be comfortable with. Additionally, reclamation is normally done within a community, not outside of it.

Yet for sexual minorities, we're meant to suddenly be okay with straight news anchormen calling all of us the "Queer Community," who gave him the right? Lesbian authors are suddenly listed under "queer authors" by articles even when the woman herself has only called herself "lesbian."

There is a pervasive and constant pushing of boundaries by TRAs, and if you push back even a little bit, you're the one seen as intolerant. Why couldn't you just roll over and let us label you as strange?

I’ve said this before but why it it always “queer and trans”? Why does trans get to be named specifically but lesbian, gay, and bisexual have to be lumped under a slur that calls us weird? It can’t be for simplicity’s sake, nobody’s ever cared about that when creating alphabet soup acronyms, 70+ gender identities, the ace/aro spectrum, etc. So why is it that trans gets special recognition and the dignity of being called by name, but LGBs are denied that recognition and dignity and referred to as “queer”?

estén atentas a la situación en colombia con el tema de la mutilación genital femenina. estamos hablando de una práctica que está afectando niñas menores a 5 años. ya basta de esta barbaridad y de mirar al otro lado.

[mala-santa-radfem]

in english: FGM is about to be outlawed in colombia. i'll keep you updated after june 18th or hopefully sooner.

UPDATE: FGM IS NOW BANNED IN COLOMBIA. GREAT JOB AND CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERY FEMINIST AND ACTIVIST GROUP WHO HAVE BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR YEARS 🥹💜

[doingitatmybirthdaydinner]

also gender-non-conformity is cool and normal and doesn't require hormones or surgery or a pronoun or name change but I didn't really have room to put all that lol

[tubularfem]

Also while I’m at it there’s no such thing as a genital preference for gay men and lesbians. It’s a REQUIREMENT that a partner be the same sex! The END.

A preference would be “oh man I’m out of my favorite fruit, apples. That’s okay though, while I like it the best, I’ll eat oranges too since I have them.”

A preference implies that it can be changed, that it’s only a choice of which you prefer at the time. What has been called “genital preference” is actually so fucking homophobic it’s unreal. We don’t choose this! It’s innate. And it’s sexual orientation, and cannot be changed.

i genuinely can't comprehend how in the recent years the trans bathroom thing started to be a bigger concern to the bleeding heart liberals than the femicide and rape statics

they might be a bit anxious to walk into the public bathroom but what about thousands of women worldwide that are afraid of leaving their houses?

they're not brutally murdered by the stalls, they don't have guns to their heads or have acid pour on them. in the most cases the worst they'll get is a weird glance or two, that's it

i guess that femicide and rape isn't just as fun and fresh to talk about. it reeks of the old world violence, a relic of times past that they prefer to leave behind. it's depressing and bleak, not as colorful to put on a three-color banner on some unrelated protest. it's not an exciting novelty anymore, and you can get called a terf, so why bother?

the actual pride month rundown

- marsha p. johnson repeatedly identified as a gay man and drag queen and survived into an era where the language did already exist if he chose to identify as transsexual. he explicitly stated that he was not transsexual and claimed that all transsexual people were also homosexual.

- sylvia rivera did identify as a transsexual woman (and made disparaging speeches about lesbians). she was not an ally to lesbians. lesbians and transwomen have not always been allies.

- neither of them were there when the stonewall riots began, according to marsha’s own testimony. sylvia was sleeping off a drug trip on a park bench, and by the time marsha arrived at stonewall, the riots were already in full swing.

- storme delarverie, a mixed black gender-nonconforming lesbian and drag king, may have been the one who incited the stonewall riots. she never identified as a transman despite surviving into an an era where the language was made accessible to do so. accounts differ as to who started the riots.

- stonewall was not a special haven for trans people and drag artists, it was just some bar where gay people met up. by all accounts, it wasn’t even a good bar.

- pride as a festival and parade was invented by gay men, lesbians, and bisexual people. fred sergeant is one of those gay men, and he has been beaten (in recent years, as an elderly man) by trans people and their allies due to his views on medical transition. non-homosexual trans people were unheard of in this era.

- this is just united states history, and not even the beginning of gay rights activism in the united states alone. the rest of the world didn’t necessarily base its gay rights activism on stonewall.

Kinda wild how radfems often feel guilty for really basic things like centering women in feminism and not thinking men are women, while tons of TIMs never feel a single ounce of guilt for speaking over female people and for having rape, pedophilia and incest fantasies. In fact, they feel morally superior because of these

[comphet-critical]

it’s that simple

[evilrosamundpike]

Hey, @staff , do we ever plan on banning this psychopath whose blog is dedicated to threatening women, or should we pretend it’s not happening?

[parisrainynight]

Art made by a TIM depicting a butch lesbian with a labrys tattoo, disgusted by the sight of a man and runs away crying, and is secretly thinking about dick. The comments say she must be bisexual, if not for her “bisexual shame”, and wonder if testosterone could save “him”. There is only one dissenting comment, wondering why a lesbian would be depicted as thinking about dick, who is promptly shut down because of then existence of strap-ons. This is such a disgusting, lesbophobic depiction of a lesbian it’s almost unbelievable. Fellow lesbians please let me know your thoughts on this!

[lezzbee-deactivated20251102]

If the dreaded “cishet” man, you know the evil oppressor of all “queers” has said something similar to me as a lesbian in order to coerce me into sex then you might want to consider what you’re advocating for.

[genderresister]

Trans ideologues scream about validating others until it’s lesbians, then suddenly it’s acceptable to spout lesbophobic abuse and it’s always along the lines of “ you can’t know/own your sexuality unless it involves men”.
