why are you still yapping about insignificant things instead of protecting actual breathing woman haley beck?
Haley Beck seems to be a henious predator. While I prioritize female people in my life and politics, I will never condone an adult woman in a postion of authority leveraging her power to take advantage of a minor. I don't care about the sex of a sexual abuse survivor, as one, I am on the victim's side. Sex based oppression of women affects more than 4 billion people. Get a fucking grip.
Something cannot be both a social construct and an innate element of an individual. Gender cannot be innate, internal, and entirely subjective, while simultaneously being an external social construct generated by the culture to determine the social roles individuals must perform within society.
Kids make it make sense.
i wholeheartedly believe in this to be honest, especially when people say “a woman’s biggest enemy is another woman.” i hate that they make it seem as if women only spacea aren’t good for us, that we somehow hate each other.
"The oppressor would not be so strong if he did not have accomplices among the oppressed."
— Simone de Beauvoir, The Ethics of Ambiguity.
If women weren't socialized to hate each other, patriarchy would crumble. Women hating each other and siding with men to enforce misogyny on each other is crucial to keep the system up
If you have been involved or observed the discourse around gender over the last decade you will have encountered the phrase "sex and gender are different." Two other phrases will often immediately follow "gender is a social construct," and "sex is how you're born and gender is how you feel and want to be."
First issue, how can you innately be a social contruct? You can't. By definition a social construct is external to one's self. You also could be considered different genders based upon the culture one is living amongst. You gender would fluctuate in relation to how each culture constructed gendered traits. You would change gender without being different in any way.
Second issue, if sex and gender are inherently different why can there not be parallel discourse about sex based oppression of female humans and a separate discourse regarding discrimination against gender non-conforming individuals? Human females have had their individual liberties withheld for five millenia so males could "own the means of (re)production of human beings." Transwomen are still of the sex that requires far less investment and risk for progeny. Transmen are still of the sex that (literally) carries the majority of burdens related to human reproduction. I don't see a reason why the basic inequity females experience because of assumed fertility can't be addressed as a different and separate issue from ways in which society needs to change so that gender nonconforming males, be they trans, nonbinary, drag queens, gay, or simply effeminate are no longer threatened by other men in male spaces.
Third issue, If you understand there to be a difference between sex and gender, why is gender the battering ram on the provisions in society for females? Accommodations most often campaigned for, created and administered by females who saw inequality in how opportunities and resources are allocated between male and female people. It wasn't until 2012 that women's boxing became an Olympic sport. It was just 12 years later when biologically male athletes, with functioning testes were dominating the landscape of Women's Olympic Boxing.
The thing is...
I'd rather have womanhood "reduced" to biology, than to have womanhood reduced to an aesthetic.
See guys, terfs are literally the conservative men they say they hate. New enemies to lovers idea
How did you arrive at the idea that evaluating whether someone is a man or a woman based upon a person's adherence to concretized regressive, sexist stereotypes is at all progressive? Why would you aggregate the view that man and woman are determined by reproductive anatomy not personality, aesthetic, or interests into conservative political orthodoxy? Last time I checked progressives believed that an individual's biological functions exist independently from their personality.

I'm a Colorado voter. I'll sign that petition. I also want to apologize to Antoinette for the abuse she will receive in Denver and Boulder. At lot of the abuse will come from parents who did what they were told. They affirmed, encouraged, and ultimately signed for medical abuse of their children. If they accept what detransitioned people say it will mean they did a horrible, perhaps unforgivable, thing to someone they were meant to protect above all else.
If gender identity is an innate part of everyone's psychological make up, why is femininity performed differently in Milwaukee and Myanmar? If gender really was innate wouldn't femininity be performed the same across time and cultures?
Gender =/= gender expression
Actually do some research on the topic instead of making up these stupid ‘arguments’
Why do you think I'm talking about gender expression? Forget about the aesthetics specific to a given culture's idea of femininity or expression of femininity, different cultures associate different personality traits and affinities with masculinity and femininity. That is just gender, not gender expression. Both of which are just cultural constructs independent of biological basis.
Take your own advice in the new year.

The acronym TERF actually reveals so much about the gender identity movement. Radical feminism does not exclude trans identified females. They may not wish to engage with radical feminism, but radical feminists hold space for those dysphoric women and girls.
The only type of trans person who are not welcomed into radical feminism are the male kind of trans person. So think about that. Trans identified females are not excluded by radical feminists, and yet, radical feminists are called trans exclusionary. It demonstrates that the only trans identified people that matter are the biologically male ones.
It's absolutely ridiculous to me that gender enthusiasts keep appropriating the existence of people with DSD conditions to validate some notion of mutability or wide variety of biological sex when the vast majority of people who identify as trans do not have any condition causing differences of sex development. It's especially bizarre because DSD child advocacy demands an end to medical, particularly surgical interventions on minors. They feel the only acceptable surgical intervention on a child are those for functionality, like to correct an inability to urinate. The aim of trans advocacy is the polar opposite. They want young children medicalized. They want to be allowed to perform genital and breast surgery on minors.
Idiotic infantilising arses imagining themselves to be feminist in my notes again.
Newsflash: Women are adult beings, with their own thoughts, desires, and choices. They may sometimes make decisions or enjoy things you don’t think they should, or find disturbing or distasteful, or that may even occasionally be harmful to themselves or their bodies. People do a million things that can be harmful every single day, so why is it when it’s women making choices about the kind of sex she wants to have, it’s suddenly evil and those of us who actually understand what informed consent is are suddenly abuse enablers for *shock horror* respecting that other people’s lives are none of our business?
There should be better education around true informed consent, how to recognise abuse and attempted coercion from a partner or partners, and people need to also stop pretending that their puritanical need to police other people’s bedrooms is in any way good feminist praxis.
You're still a fucking abuse apologist, Dumbass. A lying one at that. "She asked for it" is never feminist praxis.
Trying to pretend like being cognizant of one of the most common responses to severe trauma is infantilizing to women is a favorite claim of abusers and pedophiles.
You're the failing feminist. Do you go to rape trials just to watch the defense attorneys attack victims?
So many so called progressives obsessed with policing consenting adults sex lives might as well be puritanical Christians.
“It’s problematic.” Just say sinful, you know you want to.
A 25 year old and a 50 year old want to fuck? None of your business. A couple wishes to roleplay different power dynamic scenarios? None of your business. Someone has a rape/dubcon fantasy they wish to play out in a safe, consensual setting? None of your business. Someone wishes to participate in group sex with 20 other people at the same time? None of your business.
Literally none of your fucking business what consenting adults do to each other in the privacy of their own spaces.
Maybe it's because nothing you do happens in a vacuum.
I guess you missed the part where I wrote “CONSENTING ADULTS IN THE PRIVACY OF THEIR OWN SPACES.”
If someone isn’t enthusiastically consenting without being manipulated or exploited, then that is abuse.
If someone isn’t an adult, then that is abuse.
Otherwise, I will say it again, WHAT CONSENTING ADULTS GET UP TO IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. Unclutch those pearls and stop pretending being a puritanical busybody is good praxis.
Dear, you're an idiot. Since when did life-threatening behavior become chill if it's in private? Do you think the problem with Chris Brown beating up Rhianna is that he should have waited until they were home? If he'd just done a Charlie Sheen and shot her at home it'd be good?
The reason people focus on the person doing the strangling, rather than the one being strangled, is that only one person is going to be hurt or killed, and it's not the one doing strangling.
When your mother, sister, daughter, cousin, or best friend dies from strangulation, it affects you! It affects their children, their friends, family, and co-workers. Strangulation is the number 1 indicator of whether IPV will result in death. There is no such thing as consent in coercion, and very few people understand in real time they are being abused, manipulated and coerced by a partner, especially if part of the manipulation is that cutting oxygen and blood from a partner's brain is just freaky fun. And misinformed fucknuts like you are an abuser's best friend, you are part of the grooming that prevades the culture. Shame on you! You're out there validating extreme abuse as normal.
Everyone who is jumping down your throat knows you're wrong and is scared shitless someone experiencing strangulation will read that garbage and stay. And when she or they dies, because it is a near inevitability, her murderer will claim she just liked rough sex. She'll be dead, and he'll do it again. And unfortunately, it won't be you, or your sister, or your mom, or your child. You are more irresponsible than an RFK jr press conference.
Ps we Jews don't want your support. We want our sons to respect women and our daughters to know that sex is not concealer for intimate partner violence.
First of all, I’m not your “dear.” Second of all, if you’ll notice, I never actually mentioned strangulation kink in my original post at all, third of all, comparing consensual kink to domestic violence is just ridiculous. Just because it may come in a form that disturbs you, doesn’t mean anyone is necessarily being coerced, manipulated or abused. If they are, then it’s clearly not consensual, which you’ll notice in my original post, I also place prime importance on. Women sometimes make decisions and enjoy things you’re not going to like and they have the right to, because they’re adults. Stop infantilising them and imagining you’re doing anyone a favour.
Dear, I didn't and never would imply you are mine. I'm not in the habit of claiming abuse and femicide apologists. I assumed that your deplorable stupidity had made you familiar with condescension. I seem to have overestimated.
I sincerely suggest that you shut the fuck up and listen. Listen to survivors, like myself, listen to experts in IPV, sexual violence and trauma you petulant nitwit. I'm not infantilzing anyone, I acknowledge how trauma gets set aside so you can survive the moment. Often, you can't even look at your trauma storage until you're long away from the situation. What you are doing, which is repugnant, is engaging in the same victim blaming, gaslighting bullshit used by abusers and rapists and their advocates. Donald Trump claims E Jean Carroll isn't credible because it took time to process, Evan Rachel Wood needed time to work through and feel safe after years of abuse, much masquerading as kink, before she could report, and when she was able the statute ran.

All were murdered. All of their murderers received lighter charges because they claimed the women consented and liked rough sex. Of course the women were dead so they were neither able to confirm or deny.
If, you like I, think the gay/trans panic defense is unacceptable, though it's use has never been successful, it would logically follow you, like I, condemn the successfully used rough sex defense. But apparently you've gone a different way.
"She asked for it" isn't the enlightened take you seem to think it is.
Btw, I love sex, am a Jewish atheist, believe in sex education, and remind everyone weed is broadly legal and available, gives sustained euphoria and unlike strangulation, blood and knife play, and electricity, having a gummy has little to no chance of serious injury and/or death. While admittedly not my jam, I believe the phrase within the BDSM community is "safe, sane, and consensual." There are no circumstances when strangulation, wrongly called choking, is ever safe. Or are the kink community puritanical, too?

Josh Johnson made a very poignant point while trying to explain Easter eggs in Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl performance to white people. He said, "No one has ever broken their chains by pretending they're not there." Which is true, but that's what is demanded of women. Women are bound, hobbled, weighted, and so tangled in our chains we can barely fucking move and then we have men picking up light weight chain jewelry, sparkly, pink accessories, attached to nothing, telling us it's exactly the same thing. And then they tape our mouths shut so we're not allowed to say differently.
