‘Cis people engage in gender affirmation too!!’ Yes those are called gender roles, we used to be able to acknowledge how they’re restrictive and imposed on everyone from birth….

[our-lady-of-cyber]

"gender affirming surgeries are just like cosmetic surgery done by cis people!" Yes and we hate those too

[vintage-bentley]

It’s not actually a good thing that some women feel pressured to get breast implants or that some men feel pressured to get ab implants. It’s not a good thing that gender roles are imposed so heavily and strictly that it leads people to hating their natural bodies for not fitting some standard, and makes them want to surgically alter their bodies. Why are we hand waving this away as “teehee it’s just gender affirming care which is always fine and good and wonderful and completely politically neutral!” Instead of analysing and criticising this?? Why are we being so intellectually lazy and wilfully ignorant?

me trying to be an intellectual: I understand some situations have nuance and it's not all black and white, there are circumstances to study.

me when somebody insults women: hissing, clenching fists, gritting teeth, gaining distance, blocking&reporting them, their friends and family

[gendiebrainrotreceipts]

And what if women and girls were just allowed to exist as they are? Without sexualising themselves or compressing their ribcage to minimise their breasts?

Their backwards breast ironing; our progressive binding

I instinctively dismiss all variations of male experiences because I know they fundamentally experience the world in a way that's unrelatable and irrelevant to me. Taking a male's word for anything is useless when you realize not only how shallow they are, but that they fundamentally live on a different plane of existence.

“Never forget that it only takes one political, economic or religious crisis for women’s rights to be put in jeopardy. Those rights are never to be taken for granted; you must remain vigilant throughout your life.”

Simone de Beauvoir

[star-temeraire]

there are a lot of red names popping up in the notes so I’d like to add another quote from Simone de Beauvoir:

“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”

[enigmatic-insect-deactivated202]

“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman. No biological, psychological, or economic destiny defines the figure that the human female acquires in society; it is civilization as a whole that develops this product”

That’s the full sentence of the quote you chose. She says the role human females (women) are expected to fulfill in society, i.e. femininity, does not arise from differences in psychology, biology, or intellect, but rather, femininity is a result of socialization, of a social construct. 

So in very simple terms: the feminine role is not natural to human females. Women are taught to occupy a specific place in society through socialization, not as a natural result of biology. 

Or do you think Simone De Beauvoir, an existentialist philosopher, was actually saying men can become women?

as women, we should also acknowledge that plenty of us have the autonomy to not shave our body hair (it’s literally a non-action) and to not perpetuate standards which we know are pedophilic and capitalistic.

[cerise-means-cherry]

Lesbianism is not an identity, it's not a label to be claimed, it's not a political choice, it's not a lifestyle. A lesbian isn't "anyone who identifies as one".

It's a descriptor to talk about female homosexuality (exclusive female same-sex attraction). It's not possible to "become a lesbian", because sexual orientation is innate.

Claiming otherwise is conversion therapy rhetoric and homophobia.

[lucydacusgirl]

We literally have to save women from heterosexual marriage omg

[horsebacteria]

trans women say they need to avoid male bathrooms because males are dangerous and they would be assaulted or raped. but when women say the same thing about not wanting males in our bathrooms, we’re bigots.

trans women are male. they retain male criminality patterns. It’s perfectly reasonable for women to not want males in out private spaces.

women’s comfort and safety shouldn’t be sidelined for any male.

Traditional gender fandom: if you're a girl you like pink

Progressive gender fandom: if you like pink you're a girl

the most Child Emperor urge i have is to shout "BOOORRIINGGG!!!" when i have to witness something i dont like for too long

[prodigalwitch]

this should be common sense, but the whole "well, I never had a bad experience with them" thing does not fucking matter when it comes to sexual assault

Rapists don’t rape everyone they meet.

[niiwa-angel]

And they have a vested interest in making sure YOU don't think they're capable of rape. One of the most famous examples (In Canada) is Paul Bernardo. He was the Scarborough Rapist for years before he moved up to killing. He'd even had DNA collected, among hundreds of other men, but the police didn't think it could be him so they didn't check it right away. His friends all laughed at the notion that he could be the Scarborough Rapist. But he'd still raped so many women and moved on to kill teenagers and young women.
