Have you seen the discription of transmed on the LGBTA wiki? cause jeez
Ugh I can only imagine. I've seen some really disgusting hate towards transmeds that completely contradicts the whole no transphobia tolerated attitude these people have. Apparently transphobia and even racism are totally okay when you dont agree with the trans person or POC speaking. Smh....
Where your bio says "not a misandrist": there's no point in making that distinction when just speaking of misogyny is enough for men to get offended that they'd ever have privilege, or be capable of something like that. I know you're trying to be nice, but you're supposed to say "this is a HUMAN issue" and then fix men's issues exclusively or a lot of people get angry.
It sucks big time that I even have to put that disclaimer in there, but we cannot afford to alienate any confused young people looking for knowledge in unlikely places. Someone might see my bio and give my page a chance and start reconsidering the brainwashing that is so rife on these platforms.
“I was not born hating myself. Hatred of our female bodies is learned starting in girlhood, driven by the constant messages that we are either too much or not enough (fill in the blank). All too often, the overt and covert messages are that we are unlovable, wrong, and need improvement are financed by the same folks who offer to fix us, the cut–and–paste cosmetic surgeons and the pharmaceutical companies. How can we even begin to separate female self–hatred from the culture that has contempt for you, your mother, grandmother, your daughters and granddaughters? How can we think for one second that there is no connection?”
— ‘Our Holy Book Has Always Been Our Female Flesh and Blood,’ Ruth Barrett (via radical-art-n-inspiration)
Anyone else have clear memories of the adults in your early childhood casting the vulva as "dirty", "bad" or "private" while male brothers or cousins could not only touch, refer to but also whip out their private parts and it was considered normal?
Times when little girls had to "hold it" (to what? Make sure grown men didn't watch them pee?) While they literally told their boys to pick the most visible spots to urinate in public? Or they formed a woman-fence around them and creepily relished in the task?
I want to know if my experiences are the norm because theres no way the results of this behavior can be seen everywhere but not the precursor.
Girls are taught to ignore, show no interest in and hide our anatomy not only from boys but grown men and even ourselves. So when something, anything is wrong down there we have no vocabulary for it.
I remember being in the girls bathroom with other girls and I asked my super smart friend in the next stall over, "what's that thing that sticks out?" (The clitoris). My friend says, "I think that's where the pee comes from!".
And yet somehow despite being sent nothing but negative signals about our bodies we still managed to be curious, rebellious and have our own little girl codes.
The saddest part about this stuff was learning about incest around 8 or 9 years old. Girls being casually raped by older male cousins in the bath and not even knowing what that was all about. Especially in ethnic communities, it is kept under wraps and the male is always protected.
What I never understood growing up was that "girls have to sit with their legs closed". What is between our legs that's so special and from WHOM are we hiding it? Instead of that, why didn't they say, "watch out for bad men who look at you strangely or try to touch you".
It's always something that subconsciously codes our bodies are "wrong".
Or being chided for starting puberty early. Girls get called "fast" (instead of adults looking into whether or not the girl is being molested or groomed) and adults saying "now you have to wear a bra" (when studies show that constant bra wearing especially from an early age actually diminishes breast tissue strength). Who are we hiding our tiny nipple buds from? I don't recall any boys ever noticing them, so who could it be? And why is it the girl's responsibility?
Anywho, you know how hindsight is 2020. Sometimes it's even sharper and maybe I am looking too deeply into innocent or general lack of knowledge among our generally underage/too young mothers. I was born from out of one of the early teen pregnancy booms of the 90s.
In any case, I grew up with a sense that my body was neither truly mine nor good or worth loving.
From being told girls "can't" all the time to internalizing misogyny and meeting it out to other girls around me when I was old enough to criticize other girls for sitting with their legs unlocked on the school bus,
Looking back though, my friends were too strong for their ages. There was incest, abuse, arrests, religious clashes (with me being a protestant bigot towards catholics) and all the usual societally enforced "competition" sewed among females from an early age. We are taught to be better than the next girl so much of the time, and that usually means doing things "right" and "proper".
And those who fail to meet those pure white, perfectly clean standards are somehow nasty, bad, wrong, fast etc etc.
why would you call yourself a radical feminist if you're willingly in a relationship with a man. that's the question we're asking
y’all really act like straight women can just give up a fundamental part of life becayse u ask them to. this is a gross post and just creates more division between women
“fundamental part of life” LMAO
Unpopular opinion but I'm standing by the hetfems on this one. If you are exclusively opposite-sex attracted, being a radical feminist does not mean that you must deny yourself romantic and sexual relationships for the rest of your life.
The fact that I am a lesbian and that all of my future relationships will be with women just coincidentally lines up with my radical feminist beliefs, but above all, that's just my sexuality. My relationships with women are not acts of radical feminism, and I don't think that a straight woman's healthy relationships with men are acts against radical feminism.
As a lesbian, I agree
Better a het-partnered straight/bi woman helping all of us out with all the issues that misogyny is causing in the world, than a single straight/bi woman who calls herself gay for brownie points and/or lets the problems continue on without doing anything to stop it.
Like nah, I’ll have the former, thanks.
Apparently, if you’re straight, you have to choose to be romantically alone for the rest of your life in order to be a REAL radfem. Everything else you do/support/believe doesn’t matter!
No one can choose their sexuality and putting down other women for theirs is not okay.
sex is not supposed to be about what you can tolerate!!!!! sex is supposed to be about what you genuinely want and enjoy!!!!! and if you’re traumatized and/or not straight, believe me, I know it’s not that simple to figure out what it is that you actually want and enjoy.
you’re not a bad person if you do something that you don’t particularly enjoy because, for example, it makes your partner happy, but always remember: you have no obligation to engage in sexual activities that you don’t fully like and enjoy.
and you don’t ever, ever need to justify that - if your partner has an issue with “It makes me kind of uncomfortable” or “I don’t really like it”, then that person does not deserve a moment of your time, in or outside of the bedroom. you don’t have to prove yourself to anyone; you don’t have to meet anyone’s standards of acceptable vs. unacceptable activity (or lack thereof); you don’t have to force yourself to be comfortable with something because of any perceived political connotations of performing or refusing that act.
saying yes because you feel guilty about saying no is not consent. saying yes because you’re scared of what will happen if you say no is not consent. saying yes because you figure you might as well just endure it is not consent. sex ed on here and elsewhere doesn’t give a single shit about traumatized people and I wish someone had told me all of this a lot sooner.
also sex should never be part of any transaction. i’ve seen posts talking about asexuality that say, “i have sex with him and he does laundry, like any other division of chores.” sex should never be a chore or some kind of necessary labor you grit your teeth through. doing dishes is necessary, sex is not
A Glasgow nightclub has installed a two-way mirror which allows male revellers in private booths to spy on unsuspecting women as they visit the toilet! With no notification or signage anywhere in the venue many female club goers have been left feeling embarrassed and used. Although they do briefly show the mirrors in a promo video, the club has been quickly deleting comments and posts on their social media from club goers trying to alert others to the situation. This is pretty much illegal and hugley violates privacy. Thank you The Shimmy Club for giving us a shiny, new, creative and cool take on objectification. article here
i’m never leaving my house again, this world is just too fucked up.
gross gross gross gross gross
Good morning disgusting. Remember ladies:
“No space, leave the place” (fingernail test)
A two way mirror must be set INTO the wall, not placed on top of it.
If you rap/knock against the mirror, one installed onto a wall (a normal mirror) will make a dull sound, because there’s something behind it. A two-way will have more reverberation.
Use the flashlight on your phone to shine on the mirror, if it’s a two-way, you’ll be able to see into the other room.
You can also shield your eyes and see in if you lean up against the glass.
The room being viewed will have to be brightly lit (10x brighter than the room looking in), so if you’re in a typical dimly lit club bathroom, you’re ok.
Often, when someone (mainly men) in a minority group does something bad (like rape), people in that minority group will blindly defend them.
I mean, I get it! You want to protect your own, and you want to combat stereotypes about the group that you belong to. As a bisexual woman, I sometimes struggle with acknowledging that there are in fact evil women out there (mostly because there are so few of them). But think about the people you could possibly hurt by supporting a particular member of your group. Lots of black people have supported OJ Simpson or Bill Cosby, which hurts their victims. Lots of Jewish actors and actresses support Woody Allen, which hurts his victims. Lots of trans activists will support various trans women who have committed heinous, violent acts. People are so quick to abandon critical thinking and just support anyone in their group, regardless of that person’s hypothetical actions, and many of them are ready to say that anyone who calls that person out is prejudiced. This benefits abusers and rapists greatly, and it needs to stop.
seeing women even jokingly saying they’d donate their uterus really shows how little information there is about women’s reproductive systems. The uterus is not just a baby machine. Even if you never have children, your uterus has other functions like hormone regulation and just keeping your other organs in place.
I didn’t know this… Here I was wanting to get my uterus removed so I never get pregnant.
Think I’ll leave it alone and just get Essure in the future.
if u want to never get pregnant u could get ur tubes tied, it doesnt have the harms that removing ur uterus would afaik!
Holy shit I didn’t know this
Having your tubes tied is also a gigantic question mark. Some people get it done and are fine. Others get it and their reproductive systems get set on fire. Cancer, hormonal issues, bladder issues, menstruation issues, etc.
Our reproductive system really doesn’t like to be messed with.
damn
Wow turns out women’s internal organs have actual purpose for our health and don’t just exist as a baby machine
My grandma had her uterus removed because of cancer that would have otherwise killed her. 20 years later and she has had more organs move out of place or prolapse than I can count. The amount of hospital trips, pain, experimental procedures that have only worsened her life. The uterus isn’t just there to make babies.
i also blame doctors (and laypeople) who respond to women and girls who express a desire to remove these organs solely with pleas about their reproductive capacity
i had a biology professor who told a story about a woman who got tens of thousands of dollars for donating her eggs and i was like “that sounds amazing!” and she was like “not so fast, that woman later in life learned that they took so many eggs that she could no longer have children”
only much later in life did i learn about how the barrage of hormones given to women for this procedure affects the body and how risky any surgery is to one’s life.
i thought of my reproductive organs as something my body was housing that i never needed, that could only cause me discomfort and pain or even force me into pregnancy. no one i spoke to about me disregard for these organs or my wish to not have them ever said a word about my own health. they told me i might change my mind and want children later.
It’s funny i looked all this up to verify it and the whole like oh idk little things like 12% of women who get a hysterectomy experience prolapse and lovely things like their bladder pressing down on their vagina was only mentioned in a sort of perfunctory way and only after the much more important side effect of “emotional distress and a feeling of loss” which is like the first side effect every single website mentions a “sense of loss” over no longer being able to get pregnant and also your bladder might fall into your vagina but mainly a sense of loss
A grown ass adult terf??? Being violent towards a trans minor??? Wow! Shocking,,, /s
I know you’re a minor but I think it’s important for your followers to know this was in response to you calling a black woman the n word and advocating for corrective rape
what the actual fuck
jesus fucking christ
The receipts are never ending
if you insist on pretending that people are oppressed for their "sex", then don't complain when you're rightfully called transphobic
does anyone else remember when women weren’t allowed to vote or is that just me?
Remember when China had a one child policy and almost everyone was aborting female fetuses because men are ‘more valuable’ then women. So now China has 33 million more men then woman. You would think China would be like ‘we should start treating women better’ but no. The men in China have resorted to kidnapping women from neighboring countries and are forced married to the men who kidnapped them.
But since oppression by sex isn’t real….
Remember the fact that it’s estimated that more than 200 million women and girls world wide have undergone fgm and an estimated 3 million more are at risk of it every year? Or that mother’s feel the need to bind their young daughters breast in order to protect them from having to marry men much older than them in Cameroon?
But this happened to such a large number of women because they identified as women. Not because of their sex or anything. This happened to them because brain sex…
Remember how women get fired from their jobs for having children? Or how they’re still not allowed to breastfeed their children in public spaces? That can’t possibly have anything to do with vaginas or uteruses.
Remember how women are girls are put into menstration huts during their periods, and aren’t even allowed to touch food or animals because they’re considered dirty and impure on their periods. But that has nothing to do with vaginas and uteruses though right?
Remember how there exists a penis festival and everything literally surrounds penises but the second women talk about their vaginas people go fucking insane?
Do us all a favour and shut the fuck up.
Remember how women have been told, and are still told, that they shouldn’t hold positions of power because their hormone cycle makes them too sensitive and irrational and ‘hormonal’ and have been told things like ‘what happens when she gets PMS and then blows up the country/destroys the company’?
Remember how women are discrimated against since they have the ability to get pregnant and companies don’t want to have to pay for a woman to go on maternity leave for a year? Or how many people refer to this as ‘paying a woman to do nothing’?
But obviously sex-based oppression doesn’t exist since we identified as being the only sex with a uterus, periods, and the ability to get pregnant 🤦🏼♀️
It has come to my attention that libfems think women talking about their vaginas, reproductive systems, etc. for the purpose of alienating trans women and I’m just
Our bodies are so stigmatized? More women than ever are getting bikini waxes and vaginal plastic surgery. The president of the United States was elected after bragging about “grabbing women by the pussy.” In several states it’s now nearly impossible to get an abortion, because as soon as a woman gets pregnant, her body belongs to the state.
Talking about female anatomy has absolutely nothing to do with you. Our fight against stigma and sexual assault is not about sneakily trying to make trans women uncomfortable. When women made and wore pussy hats, I can guarantee you they were not thinking, “this will show those trans women that they don’t belong.” They were rebelling against the election of a rapist to the highest office in the country.
It’s not about you. It’s just not fucking about you, and I’m honestly astonished that anyone could be so self-absorbed as to think it was.
What’s more likely, all these women talking about their biology are doing so to cuck the tiny minority of trans identifying males, or that they have experienced oppression on the basis of their sex and are fighting for their rights?
I’ve never met a radical feminist who cared about transgenderism beyond its implications for women and girls. Radical feminism simply is not concerned with gender non-conformity. It’s about making a better, safer world for females and trans-identifying men are at times an obstacle to this goal.
It's just that simple!
Why does the Tumblr libcult not see that?
On this blog I post receipts and proof of TRA abuse aimed at random women who believe in fighting for female safety, liberation and accommodation, so I can show the often denied fact that it's TRAs who enter conversations that have nothing to do with them in order to create hostility because they are misogynists.
However, some of these Tumblr radfems fall into the reactionary trap and say hateful things about trans people or misgender trans people who are NOT enemies of the cause.
So, I try to stay away from posts that go out of the way to clown trans people. And I do not misgender dysphoric people because that's ableist.
just an fyi there’s a community on reddit that’s dedicated to real lesbians - it has great moderators that are prompt to kick out straight or queer homophobes. Check it out! It’s one of the only lesbian centric places on the internet right now and it’s been growing steadily the past year.
reddit.com/r/truelesbians/
NOT TO BE MISTAKEN FOR r/actuallesbians!
Easy mistake to make. Don’t do that to yourselves.
God forbid a group for lesbians be so militant and exclusive as to only include lesbians.
Bumping up this resource for my lesbian followers
anterfa activism is like:
centering men with a lesbian fetish (60%)
memes (25%)
nazi comparisons/violent threats towards feminists (10%)
circular pomo theory/word salad that doesn’t make sense or help women (5%)
How could you forget their favourite “stealing radfem posts verbatim and adding TERFS DON’T INTERACT at the bottom”
Cis women… you’re truly lucky y’all…. your genitals just sit still their whole lives… no involuntary movements… stationary as genitals should be…
Why didn’t you direct this at “cis women and trans men” tho????? Why only “cis women”?
Seems like you’re equating womanhood with vaginas……………. seems like you know deep down that it’s women and only women who have vaginas………. seems terfy……
@seraphlesbian
Oh yeah, if I know anything about my vagina it’s that it… doesn’t move? I mean, it’s the basis of my oppression and it’s used coercively against me through sexual assault and restriction of reproductive rights but at least it just sits there. And yeah, maybe there are painful monthly cycles where it causes severe cramping, lethargy, and bleeding which has been heavily stigmatized and *maybe* doctors attribute my medical concerns overwhelmingly to these “lady parts”, but by God, it never got up and walked away on me.
This is fucking terrifying. Men hate feminists, MEN HATE WOMEN.
Ppl in the comments just… Proving you right.
SEATTLE — In the epicenter of America’s coronavirus outbreak, sex workers are one of the first groups making adjustments.
AAAAAAAAAAAAH how can they write this and not realise how fucked up the prostitution industry is??? Some choice quotes: “We’re telling people to wash as much as they can, but some sex workers don’t have access to hot water and soap between sessions.” “Many cannot afford to stop working for weeks to self-quarantine.” “Since 2015, the city has experienced an unprecedented spike in homelessness and drug addiction — two factors that have increased the number of people selling sex.” “When there’s more girls outside and less demand, people start doing things they wouldn’t normally do and end up in situations that are very unsafe.” “HuffPost spoke with two sex workers on North Aurora Avenue, Seattle’s red-light district, who said the recent wave of new street workers has already forced them to reduce their prices (other sex workers estimated that the going rate for oral sex had fallen from around $60 to around $30 even before the virus struck). They have also mostly stopped screening clients and no longer have the luxury of declining men who give them a bad feeling.” “Men are using the virus as leverage: ‘I’m already taking a risk seeing you. So why should I use a condom?” “They’re waiting for new girls to show up and be terrible to them. If someone comes (onto the street) after spending the winter inside or they’re desperate to make up their lost income, we don’t have ways of warning them.” “High-priced escorts, who tend to see fewer clients and work with a roster of regular customers, are more likely to have savings and secondary sources of income.” “While its long-term impacts remain unclear, the virus’ most immediate effect is the exacerbation of existing inequalities within the sex industry.” “Sex workers at the lower end of the market don’t have the same options.” “On North Aurora, a significant percentage of sex workers sleep in the hotel rooms paid for by their clients every night.” “In reality, few massage parlor workers are trafficked; most are undocumented women in their 40s and 50s unable to find other forms of employment.” “Strippers have to pay a ‘house fee’ of $140 to $160 per night to work in the clubs. They make most of their money from individual dances and tips.” “…ultimately nothing stands in the way of people wanting sex.”
Genitals are a result of biological sex, not the sex itself.
Insisting that homosexuals have a “genital preference/obsession” for only being attracted to the same sex is homophobia.
Yes! They’re not a pasted-on afterthought to sexless bodies, as homophobic TRAs would have you think.
