sis i don't understand your mentality.. how can you support women but not trans women?? they are STILL women! if you are born with male reproductive organs that just make you feel so confused and horrible and eventually feel so happy by identifying as female, how can you not accept them? *genuine question*
here's my honest answer.
my beliefs about trans women are only the incidental product of my beliefs about feminism. I fundamentally believe that women are oppressed for their sex, not for their femininity. I believe that the society that fosters this sex-based oppression uses compulsory femininity as a method of oppression. I believe that we need distinct terminology to discuss and try to heal the division between the sexes. As a result of this, I believe that efforts to facilitate confusion of these terms hurt and hinder the progress of feminism. If women are oppressed for their gender and not their sex, then no one except people who wanted to be oppressed would identify as women. I think the root of the reason terfs have the reputation they do is that we just refused to change the terminology, which TRAs took as a denial of their cause.
I want to ask you, what is womanhood? what is the common trait that all women have that identifies them as the ones men oppress? what does it mean for someone to "feel like a woman" cis or not? if sex has no bearing on gender, what causes the desire to transition sex? what is it about "feeling like a woman" causes people to want long hair and makeup?
I didn't start off a terf. I was deeply involved in the TRA movement for a long time, genuinely believing your cause and wholeheartedly agreeing that trans women were women. i encourage you to think critically about what a woman is, about how your definition may be impacted by the sexist culture in which it was formed, about how to effectively protect or even discuss the rights of a group so ill-defined that there is no functional difference in definition between the oppressor class and the oppressed class. I encourage you to think critically about this, even if you don't admit it aloud.
I support biological females because we share an anatomical trait that has been exploited, abused, and cited as both cause and proof of our ‘inherent inferiority’ to males for millennia, and I believe there should be a designated movement just to support, defend, and liberate people affected by this. I believe that movement is called feminism and those people are called women. that is how I don't see the place for trans women in that movement. It is a movement for the protection of sex-based human rights for the human sex which has been oppressed for the sex of our bodies. And that’s without even getting into the issue of gender-based activism.
The idea of an inherent ‘woman-brain’ just reaffirms the idea that there is an ephemeral woman-essence that is innate and inborn and is what makes a woman; this is necessarily in conflict with the core tenets of feminism, which has been arguing for over a century now against the misogynistic doctrine of ‘women are just better at housework and nurturing and obsessing over beauty and their hormones make them baby-crazy the way their periods make them unsuitable for leadership,’ insisting that the social constructs and constraints of womanhood are not baked into our second X chromosome. “Feeling like a woman” is no different from feeling like a man. We are neutral fucking mammals. There is no one way women think, there is no one way men think, we are all individuals and the notion that one’s individuality needs to be labelled as a gender in relation to one’s sex just reinforces the ideas that:
(a) there is an expected gendered brain for your sex (i.e., ‘man-gender-brain’ for males, ‘woman-gender-brain’ for females) and that people are born with these gendered brains. (b) the majority of the population (i.e. the ‘cis’ demographic) does have an innate gender-brain corresponding to their sex; so, claiming the entire population of ‘cis’ women actually do have innate ‘woman-gender-brains’. (c) those who do not feel like their gender-brain matches up to what is expected of their sex are oppressed by the ‘cis,’ on the basis that having the expected gendered brain is a privilege; so, claiming that ‘cis’ women are privileged for their supposedly-innate ‘woman-gender-brains’ because that’s what corresponds to their female sex, while simultaneously claiming that female humans who realise they do not have innate ‘woman-gender-brains’ are not women AND that male humans (whose only notion of what a ‘woman-gender-brain’ feels like compared to a ‘man-gender-brain’ is based in conjecture) who feel that their brain is innately gendered ‘woman’ are women and that they are oppressed by ‘cis’ women because their bodies ‘don’t match’ their supposedly innate woman-gender-brain (again reinforcing the association between ‘innate woman-gender-brain’ and ‘female’ by having this demographic as the vocal exception). (d) that this gender-brain, not the sex with which it is forcibly and artificially associated, is what sexism/misogyny has been based on all along; so, claiming that that supposedly-innate woman-gender-brain (which we can’t detect or coherently define) is the trait for which women were/are paid less, objectified, denied the vote, forcibly married and indentured into housework, genitally mutilated, raped and trafficked and sold en masse, forced to give birth... I could go on.
Can you see now how this is reinforcing the same sexist ideas about gender it claims to be overturning? The very idea of innate gender is sexist. the idea that women either identify with the misogynistic societal notions of what womanhood is or they shed the title ‘woman’ is not progressive or feminist at all. There are three potential definitions of ‘woman’ at this point:
1. anyone who feels like a woman (tautological, meaningless, and functionally useless for feminism; indestinguishable from ‘man’ when likewise defined as ‘anyone who feels like a man’. How can one oppress the other and on what basis? for what trait? how can we legislate when we can’t define whom we’re protecting and from whom?) 2. anyone who identifies with the social associations with womanhood, (e.g., femininity, nurturing, or any of the ever-fluctuating social tropes or expectations of women, any conception of ‘womanhood’ which is opposed to parallel conceptions of ‘manhood’; a definition fundamentally based in misogyny for its assumption that these traits are not only innate, but innately tied to womanhood. it’s bioessentialism without the bio-; it’s just gender essentialism. it’s sexism.) 3. human of the female sex. (womanhood denotes nothing inherent other than sex; no inborn traits, no natural femininity, no innate woman-gender-brain. we are neutral humans the same as men, with the same internal range of individuality, and the only inherent difference between us is our physical sex. useful for activism because it includes everyone oppressed for their sex by--again--simply denoting our sex.)
None of this means I hate/oppose/wish violence on males who engage in "feminine" behaviour or dress. I honestly don’t care what people wear. Some have argued that they are helping to break down the gender barriers assigned to the sexes by engaging in activities that men consider "womanly" and simultaneously "weak" (which, to be clear, are considered weak not because of men’s hatred of femininity, but because of a disdain for the roles they’ve forced us into to uphold the charade of their superiority). however, engaging in activities that men historically limited women to does not make you a woman. The men who claim that enjoying or being intrigued by femininity makes them women are misogynists. The insinuation that being drawn to ‘girly’ ‘feminine’ behaviours/things (the products of a culture bent on keeping girls pretty and vacant) makes them women is misogynistic in itself.
its almost time for my next dose of candy
naked wearing shoes and socks like a huge freak. You feel crazy right ? I feel sick. I feel like a deviant.
if winston 1984 was fantasizing about being a child molester instead of an adult rapist (raper?) within the first 40 pages would people still be quite so gungho about how you’re stupid or flashy or whatever for not having a lick of sympathy for him at the end of the book. i wonder lol
growing up slightly gender-non-conforming and being perceived as less mature compared to my female peers as a result probably had a bigger effect on me than I thought
it definitely ended up worsening my self esteem, no matter what impressive things I achieved, i felt like I was still lagging behind my peers because of my lack of interest in make-up, clothes, relationships, as well as my lack of interest in caring for kids
it’s no wonder teenage girls feel so much pressure to start performing beauty rituals earlier and earlier these days. its not surprising that they begin conforming to made-up stereotypes of things that “makes someone a woman” because otherwise the social stigma would be too much to deal with in an already demanding and uncomfortable part of their lives.
if I was a young teen today I would most likely see trans and nonbinary ideologies as a convenient solution to the issue of not feeling like a woman/not wanting to exist as a woman. because what’s the alternative when society is obsessed with gender and enforcing gender stereotypes? where else are your supposed to turn when there is so much pressure to neatly identify yourself with a label?
Not confirming to performances of gender doesn't fucking make you an "egg", it just makes you a normal person that wants to enjoy life
“Don’t make me think critically about why i get sexually aroused at restricting my girlfriend’s movements and ability to consent! Don’t make me think critically about why i enjoy putting my hands on my girlfriend!”
“Don’t make me think critically about why i want to be physically abused during sex! don’t question why i want my boyfriend to restrict my ability to say no!”
hatred of men is surging 📈
peasant doing standup with hands in his pockets slightly hunched : so I was toiling right
If a man wearing stereotypically “feminine” clothes and makeup is degrading, then the fact that he’s a man isn’t what makes it degrading. The problem is the clothes. You’re just used to women being degraded.
If you put the female animations and poses in a video game onto a male character and it suddenly looks “funny”, that’s because the male characters move normally and the female characters don’t. You’re just used to seeing the female characters portrayed as objects.
Something cannot be degrading, stupid, or comedic when one sex does it and normal and “sexy” when the other does it. If something humiliates a man, then it humiliates a woman, too.
Spot fucking on
This is why I make such a big deal about female character designs compared to male ones. If high heels is humiliating on men, it is for women. If skirts that expose underwear is unthinkable on men why are female characters designed like this over and over.
People need to admit they’re used to women’s degradation
Also “if being a woman is so miserable then you’re probably not a woman” is an insulting thing to tell random women who are deeply unhappy with misogynistic oppression
Hey haha
hey haga
Lol Wats up
waiting for something that's not coming
Don't say "narcissist" when you mean "controlling", "asshole", or "selfish"
Calling any of those traits and others "narcissistic" is harmful to those with NPD, btw.
Same goes for "psycho" when you just mean "asshole" as this hurts people with ASPD.
