[feminist-female-blog]

the fact that this shit has so many notes is sad

[rebel-female]

This is what they see women as

[yassss-black-diaspora]

Also why they think wearing heels and putting on lipstick makes them more woman than us

[toppdyke]

This linebacker wearing a mop wig will never be any kind of woman.

[radladytron]

This shit is so frustrating. I don’t wear “amazing outfits” or “perfect makeup” either. I wear what’s comfortable and practical for my field. Yet, I still have high confidence. Why? Because I simply choose not to give a shit about my appearance, and instead focus more on my brain, working hard, and learning.

[femalepersistence]

Women without amazing outfits and perfect makeup don’t have anywhere else to draw confidence from.

[feministbyanyothername-deactiva]

ugh

Attaching your self-worth to clothes and makeup is detrimental, you won’t ever feel comfortable in your natural state. It makes you also constantly shilling out money to exploitative companies

This also reinforces beauty culture and that all women have to be beautiful and for consumption instead of just being okay in their own bodies. It’s objectification!

[lesbian-top-memes]

I feel like I should also clarify that part of the reason I'm much less active now is because lots of people on here are.. So homophobic. I'm serious. Like, its really upsetting. I come on tumblr to get away from homophobia irl but when I log on I have to go through the same shit all over again, only this time it's repackaged as 'woke' or 'queer'.

Some of you need to wake up and actually think about what you say. Why are you so obsessed with making lesbians uncomfortable but not gay men? Why do you think gay sex should include opposite sex couples? Why does a woman being confident in herself upset you?

No one wants to be told they're homophobic or sexist. No one wants to believe it either, I get that. This is more just an explanation more than anything. I dont expect anyone to listen to me. But I'm really fucking tired of Tumblr Brand homophobia, and thinly veiled sexism.

Rose and I have been joking recently that we almost wish we were born during the time of Stonewall and shit because even though it obviously sucked to be gay (cough, and a woman, or a POC, cough), there was a sense of community and solidarity that you don't find anymore. Back then lesbians had their own spaces and culture, we had sisterhood. Nowadays when a lesbian meets another lesbian she's obliged to have a Mexican standoff and sniff her all around first to make sure her opinions are palatable and she subscribes to the kind of Queer theory that the community has prescribed.

Hell! You guys even have lists of words and a whole ass chrome extension that when you see them, you immediately write the person off! (E.g female, same sex, vulva, etc) pride is a discourse fuckfest nowadays full of straights, kinksters, and literal fucking pedophiles/r*pists. So yeah. Idk what to do.

[wwaterytart-deactivated20230704]

everyone breaks their damn necks to respect pronouns and not call tr*ns people dude/sis/etc. if they say they’re uncomfortable but nobody fixes their behavior when gay men and lesbians say they’re uncomfortable with queer.

The Natural History Museum is calling animals ‘queer’ 😩😩😩

And also claiming that they have ‘genders’:

[kittiesatemypronouns]

“People have often imposed their own social norms onto animal behaviour” holy fucking hell do they not see it’s a problem that they just called homosexual animals QUEER? There are animals that subscribe to qu**r theory, really??

[appropriately-inappropriate]

Which is weird, because animals don’t have “genders”. They do demonstrate “same sex attraction”, though, also known as homosexuality.

[benyw]

What even is a gender when discussed in relation to a species of fish??? Wtf? Do they mean different mating strategies? Like the little males who pretend to be female in order to sneak past the big males to fertilize the eggs of the actual females in the big male’s harem? Because that comparison doesn’t exactly present a good argument in favour of TIMs (not the ones who claim to be lesbians, at least!) 😂

[appropriately-inappropriate]

Right? Talk about an own-goal.

“We’re the market rejects so we’re going to BE the girlfriend…”

I mean, we all joke about it but jeez, they weren’t supposed to actually prove us right.

Now I get that the good folks on their social media team might be a little squeamish about saying the word “sex”, but you’d think the Museum of Natural Historg would be made of sterner — and more scientific — stuff.

But you just know some woke little intern did this without their boss’ knowledge.

[catlogicdefiesall]

God , I hope it was some little lackey. I also hope they lose their job over it. Fucking  genderist liars. 

[kittiesatemypronouns]

I definitely have the feeling that some dumbbell who knows nothing about natural history is behind this. Would a real scientist say something so stupid?

[blackgoatofthewoodz-deactivated]

HRT makes the skin softer, makes it harder to maintain an erection, and makes it harder to ejaculate. Many trans lesbians don't even want to use their penis during sex but there's nothing wrong with the ones that do. Having sex with a transwoman is nothing like having sex with a cis man and brushing off my first ask shows that you have ignorant and reductive ideas about trans lesbian's bodies.

I DID NOT FUCKING ASK. FUCK OFF.

[jezi-baba]

Anon what you described sounds uncanny and even worse then a regular dick.

[deputy-shayy]

THERE IS NO FUCKING DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A MAN AND A TRANSWOMAN

NONE

THEY ARE EXACTLY THE FUCKING SAME IN BODY AND IN MIND

This insistence that HRT is some kind of magical sex changing drug is fucking CREEPY

[informative-feminist]

Unpopular opinion: terfs are WORSE than bigoted cishet white dudes because they actually KNOW what it’s like to be oppressed (for gender, race, or sexuality) and they turn around and do it to someone else.

[fckyourconversiontherapyrhetoric]

So let me get this straight… radical feminists “oppress” transwomen, by… doing what, exactly? Refusing to date them? Relationships are not a human right. Men, on the other hand, they’re the ones who commit the murders of transwomen your lot likes to blame radfems for. They’re the ones actually beating them up and killing them in the streets, they’re the ones committing hate crimes.

So - in your mind, not dating a transwoman is worse than murdering her. If that’s not incel logic, I don’t know what is. 

[www-wlw]

I get what anon was saying but it is transphobic to not date trans people because they’re trans. Not all trans people have “masculine” features or a dick. It’s fine to say that you don’t wanna date someone based on their genitalia but to say “I don’t want to date trans people” is transphobic.

I was trying to say that, but I’m kinda a ding dong and words don’t commute well to my brain to come up with proper sentences! But, yes I agree with you on that one!- mod eim ✨

[fckyourconversiontherapyrhetoric]

Anyway, relationships are not a human right, and not dating someone is not discrimination or oppression or a phobia of any kind, and this kind of rhetoric isn’t woke or new, it’s the same kind of rapey bullshit homophobes and incels have been spewing forever.

[cishits]

How would you define male and female?

To me? They are meaningless. I cannot for the life of me fathom what they are and what they mean. 

[apparentlyevil-deactivated20150]

“Black women wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and see black women. White women wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and see women. White men wake up in the morning, look in the mirror, and see human beings.” — Michelle Haimoff.

The meaninglessness of biology in a world where female biology is overwhelmingly the target of anti-choice legislation, slavery, the withholding of education, forced/mandatory pregnancy, rape, murder, incest, paedophilia and mutilation, is a privilege that very few female human beings on this planet have access to. If you are able to say to biology, “you are meaningless” then you have no idea what it is like to be oppressed on the axis of biology, and ignoring it is a violent slap in the face of the women and girls all over the world who are oppressed on the basis of being born female. This cavalier attitude towards human biology and the behaviours that exist in response to it is dishonest, it is in denial, it is oppressive, and it is above all, misogynistic. It is also anti-intersectional, as it completely ignores how women of colour are further violated on the grounds of their biology. Saying that sexual biology is meaningless is on the same level of delusion as, “skin colour is meaningless” or “disability is meaningless” or “race is meaningless, I cannot for the life of me fathom it or what it means”. It is not meaningless. It is a biological reality, it is a group that people are born into and on this basis are subjected to horrific treatment that is specific to that particular group.

[marxist-peach]

the "socialized as male" thing always gets me in the first half 'cause as a trans woman one huge struggle was essentially having to learn being a woman from the ground up with no support network or teachers or anything but terfs always use it to mean "they act like men which means they are men and they're dangerous"

Finally, a good fucking ask

[anothercriticalblog]

Get this: real women dont have to “learn” being a woman. They just are women. What women are Taught is to be submissive and quiet and small and chaste and pretty, and that teaching is against our will.

[kittiesatemypronouns]

O.K. If you have to “learn being a woman from the ground up” with SO much hard work and without a teacher even!, tell me:

How is it that you are able to “identify” yourself as a woman? What makes you a woman if you have neither a female body nor female socialization?

What you’re describing is An Actor Prepares Stanislavski-method LARP-ing, with or without medical treatments to approximate a feminine appearance. What about that supports in any way the contention that you’re an actual woman?

[bitter-badfem-harpy]

They’re literally out here talking about how they have to learn how to woman and don’t realize they’re describing performing femininity and using that as the criteria that makes them women…

[phalloid-destroyer-deactivated2]

and people have the nerve to ask me why am i critical of the trans ideology especially of this kind…

[spring-sent]

Correction: learn how to perform a misogynistic and stereotypical portrayal of womanhood based on gender roles*

[an-angry-lesbian]

Transwomen are far more misogynistic than the average male I swear to god

[hello-homophobes]

that’s a straight white male who sexually harasses lesbians, why the fuck does anyone expect anything different from them
