today i just learned that male ballet dancers don't have to stand 'en pointe' or on their toes while dancing. that training is reserved for female ballet dancers only, unless the males are doing comedy or drag roles...that's fucking crazy. why does no one talk about this. have you seen ballerina feet? why are women always tortured in the name of femininity? (ballerina feet under the cut its a bit gross cuz of injury)
radical feminism saved me, i went from a dysphoric, ‘nonbinary’ lesbian who said i didnt ‘feel’ female because of the abuse i faced to a proud lesbian woman who no longer feels shackled by porn and male abuse
my csa doesn’t define me, what my abusers made me do doesn’t define me, and what i did to survive doesn’t define me
i love radfems and have never felt so connected to a group of women
today I saw someone talking about hearing voices in their head, and people suggested they "look into plurality"
Anyway if voices suddenly appear in your head, it could be caused by a schizoaffective disorder, by a mold infestation, by medication, by a BRAIN TUMOR, and without any other information, it may be this thing called "thinking"
hearing voices in your head is a vaguer symptom than coughing
the irony of feminists fighting for the right to wear comfortable, non-sexualized clothing while the trans community fights for the right to wear uncomfortable, sexualized clothing isn't lost on me. women want to be treated as humans. men who cosplay being women want to be treated as dolls.
Sex based oppression is directly correlated to reproduction. The very first distinction of humankind was male and female; who inseminated and who gestated. Women's oppression is based on sexual and reproductive violence. It has evolved to include beauty, fashion, education, self-expression through hobbies, behavior, more. But it is always traced back to men wanting to control women for the sake of sex and reproduction.
it’s truly remarkable when you put it this way. but it also begs the question: what is there, if anything, that could prevent this?
feminism has been around for decades, yet educating men has never worked.
the best thing a woman can do is be educated, have her own career and financial independence. and never partner with a male.
it won’t stop all violence against us, but it’ll save millions of us from male partner violence, which is more common than strangers killing or raping us.
tbh I don’t think I’ll ever really forgive the trans movement for indoctrinating so many people into the belief that women speaking about our sex-based oppression is “terfy” and shouldn’t be allowed and any woman who does it wants to genocide trans people. even if they back off of this stance, the damage is done.
me saying “women are oppressed on basis of sex, not gender identity, and we cannot identify out of that oppression” does not mean I think it’s okay to kill or hurt trans people. it does not mean that I agree with right-wingers when they say gender non-conformity is destroying civilization. It does not mean that I am going to vote for politicians who think all gay people/gender non-conforming people are groomers.
it literally just means you cannot change your biological sex (which was never a controversial statement, even among trans people, up until like 5 years ago) and females should have special protections and spaces since we are constantly being preyed upon by males who see us as subhuman sex objects. that doesn’t mean I think all trans people are predators, it means that enough males are predatory toward women that we deserve to have spaces away from them (especially spaces where we’ll be not fully clothed).
we deserve to be able to talk about female-specific oppression without being told we’re evil genocidal nazis. and the fact that they constantly have to misrepresent what our actual beliefs are tells me they know we’re right and it scares them.
"A Gold Coast pole dancing studio has become the latest front in the battle for women’s rights to single-sex spaces, with an applicant who identifies as a transgender woman suing the owner for $30,000 in damages after being refused membership.
The case has parallels with the Tickle v Giggle case in which the Federal Court found Sall Grover, the founder of the female-only Giggle app, discriminated against transgender woman Roxanne Tickle, as well as with the Lesbian Action Group’s case against Australian Human Rights Commission, which refused to grant a Sex Discrimination Act exemption to allow the group to hold a “lesbians born female only” event.
Nomes Witney, owner of Helensvale and Coomera-based business Queens of Pole says she was holidaying with her family in February when the complainant attended a free trial class, run by another staff member at the studio, which advertises prominently on its website that it provides a “female-only environment”.
It is the first time since Ms Witney established her business nine years ago that she has had a transgender person attend a class or attempt to gain membership, with Queens the only pole dance studio in the area offering classes exclusively for women, and others nearby advertising themselves as open to “all genders”.
The owner of a women-only pole dancing studio in Australia’s Gold Coast is facing litigation from a trans-identified male who claims he was
Cannot write 2 sentences about women without the need to appease the poor men/save yourself from the terf allegations by insisting they deserve TWICE as much 🙄
do not spout the line 'you are not immune to propaganda' if you just unquestionably accepted ideas of gender. gender is a social construct that should be abolished not reinforced. creating more genders does not take away the oppressive nature. queer culture can be incredibly damaging and misogynistic to women.
