"i care about you, asami, more than i've ever cared about anyone"

You know how it feels when you first read that men in Afghanistan aren't allowed to treat women, and there aren't enough female doctors to treat other women, and that endometriosis isn't fully understood even though it's a very common disease among women, and then you go on Tumblr and people are laughing at the author for using "female biology" in a post and calling it dogwhistle

I once was one of the loudest supporters of trans women, the biggest thing that made me change, was realizing how little they actually cared about women. I respected them, just wasn't attracted to them? TERF. I believe there are spaces for women that they should not be allowed in? TERF. Trying to discuss the biological differences from people born xx and xy ? TERF.

I tried so hard to be open and accepting, to see you as women, but time and time again, anything we said that slightly misaligned with how you viewed women, our voices silenced, met with rape/death threats, and often times called misogynystic names. No more will I speak in defense of you guys, when we born as women are not given the same respect.

Gentle reminder loud PSA: don't be a dick <3

gendercriticalbutch

since pride month's coming up just a friendly reminder that the stonewall riots were sparked by biracial butch lesbian/drag king Stormé DeLarverie's resistance to an NYPD raid at the Stonewall Inn.

it was NOT Marsha P. Johnson who "threw the first brick." Marsha arrived to the riots hours after they had already started. he also was not a transwoman, and has described himself as a gay man/drag queen in multiple interviews. (massive credit to twitter user Zombie_Jesus_v3 for finding all these clips. if you have twitter I'd recommend giving that entire thread a read. it puts to bed all the Marsha P. Johnson myths people are still constantly perpetuating for some reason) anyways put some respect on Stormé's name. thanks.

So much of this "Queer" sexually fluid culture is just a repackaged version of hookup culture for modern day progressives.

Since the sexual revolution, women have been been pressured and expected to enjoy casual sex. This has led to the harm of women through the erosion of our sexual boundaries. Women are told that casual sex is "liberating" and "fun" and that all progressive women should enjoy engaging in it. And so women collectively convinced ourselves that it's true.

And now we see the same thing, but with the added layer of gender identities and newly blurry definitions of what sexual orientation even means.

If we don't clearly define what the words "lesbian" or "gay" mean, if young gays and lesbians are taught that being attracted to the same gender (rather than to the same sex) is what makes them gay, we create entire generations of young people who are having relationships and sex with people who they aren't innately attracted to.

Even straight women who acknowledge that they don't enjoy casual sex now define themselves as "demisexual" or even "asexual" and claim that this includes them in the Queer community. As if needing to have an emotional and romantic connection with someone before wanting to have sex with them is a rare trait, instead of a basic biological difference between men and women.

What's considered "normal" for women is being defined based on male norms and male desires, rather than the biology and actual norms and desires of women ourselves.

I knew that I was a lesbian as a teenager. Gender identity theory hadn't become popularized yet – All we knew were the four sexual orientations – straight, bisexual, gay and lesbian. I was pretty sure I felt no attraction to males and knew I was attracted to females, so I figured I was a lesbian.

Then in college I discovered gender identity and decided that due to my masculinity and lifetime of feeling uncomfortable in my body and out of place with women, I was supposed to be a man. I began dating a nonbinary female and identifying as pansexual, because I believed at the time that sexual orientation was based on gender rather than sex.

After starting testosterone, I became interested in men for the first time. Looking back, I don't see what I experienced feeling for men then as real attraction, and it definitely wasn't anything like what I would call love.

But, I was "pansexual" right? I was a sexually fluid, modern, progressive liberal "trans man", and having casual sex is fun!

Right?

I won't go into all the details, or all the reasons for how I got caught in that cycle. I won't go into how I believe testosterone was part of what caused this harmful period of my life. The ways that it affected my mental health, my decision making abilities, my self worth, and my tendency towards risk taking behavior.

The point is – None of it should have happened.

And it wouldn't have happened if not for this modern, queer, sexually fluid hookup culture and gender identity theory.

I'm far from the only woman who has had this kind of experience. I'm far from the only woman who spent some time disconnected from her actual sexual desires. This isn't becoming less common, it's only gotten more common as time goes on.

There are assholes, sex pests, fetishists, and rapists all over the "Queer" community. I know because I was a victim of them. And what do the vast majority of them have in common? They're male.

Sex based oppression is based in biological sex. Sexual orientation is based in biological sex. It's right there in the name.

whatever go my yuri

conversations overheard through the batkid com lines pt 73 (masterpost here)

Damian: was he not- i mean i know he wasn't fatherly, but was he not strict when you two were younger?

Dick: *loud laughing* oh, man, not even close-!

Jason: yeah, he really wasn't- i mean, he tried to be on occasion i guess; but it wasn't really parental strictness more than it was just being harsh and bitter.

Tim: so B really didn't try at all at first, huh?

Jason: he didn't- ok, honestly? my personal theory is that he didn't know he had kids until after i died.

Dick: *laughter turns to wheezes* wHAT?

Jason: no- *wheeze* shut up, hear me out, *cackles*

Tim, audibly amused: what the fuck does that even mean--like you think he forgot he adopted you both?

Jason: no, no- i just think he didn't understand the correlation between adoption and actually being in charge.

Damian: you think that in his mind it was a one time thing? like 'oh, adopting kids? yeah i did that in the past, fun night'.

Tim: *wheeze*

Jason: y-*snort*-yeah, you get it.

Dick: SO WAIT- *deep breath* so you- so you think that for Bruce it was like he had no idea until after you died, at which point he was panicking looking around like 'FUCK A CHILD IS DEAD, SOMEBODY CALL HIS PARENT- ooooh, i get it now,'

Tim: *loud uncontrollable cackling*

Jason, also fighting through wheezes: no i- *choke* no, i mean like- i think he didn't really understand that he was supposed to be a parent in all the senses rather than just the legal. i think you were too happy with every non-parent-like decision he made, and i was too independent, so he thought we were all just chill living in each other's spaces.

Dick: *wheeze* he thought- he thought that Dad was just a title, like Mr or Mrs,

Damian: -like when you buy a two foot square of land online so you can legally be called a lord.

Dick: *cackling* tHAT'S EXACTLY WHAT IT WAS-

Jason: yeah, yeah- and then i died and Tim fuckin' showed up, and i have to imagine he was just white-knuckling it in the Batcave looking at him like 'god, i really need to lock the fuck in with this guy',

Tim and Dick: *start crying*

Damian: you think- *snort* so finding Drake was Father internally sighing and going 'ok, time to grind i guess'?

Jason: exac- *wheeze*

*connecting ping*

Bruce: boys, it's-

*a pause* *breathless laughter*

Bruce: i don't even want to know what's so funny this time. i'm just here to call Robin home; it's almost three, i want you to come back to the cave with me so you can get some sleep before your exam at school tomorrow.

Damian, disgruntled: *sigh* yeah yeah, on my way.

Dick, weeping, tone high-pitched: he's locking in-

Tim and Jason: *fucking lose it again*
