[rainymeadows]

hi this is really unfair to trans women

[appropriately-inappropriate]

Luckily, my consent doesn’t operate on what’s fair. It’s unfair to me to expect me to perform activism on my back and with my cunt.

But I’m just a silly cis lesbian so what do you care, right?

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common female endocrine disorders that is affecting women in numbers as high as one out of ten, although many cases remain undiagnosed because symptoms differ from one woman to another. While one woman may experience a range of symptoms, another may have little to none. PCOS is a condition in which the sex hormones in a female’s body are imbalanced, which can cause cysts on the ovaries, weight gain, changes in menstrual cycle, trouble getting pregnant, and other problems. If left untreated, it can lead to heart disease and endometrial cancer. At this time PCOS is not curable but with medication, exercise, and healthy eating, the symptoms can be treated.

We are the voice of PCOS. Raise awareness.

You cannot reform something to be feminist when it's very core and/or reason for creation is misogynistic.

This applies to: femininity, capitalism, pornography and abrahamic religions and many more.

Transgender actress decries fallout of Louis C.K.’s behavior

Transgender actress Jen Richards is upset with the fallout of Louis C.K.'s actions after she lost a role on one of his planned TV shows.

“Transgender actress Jen Richards is upset with the fallout of Louis C.K.’s actions after they caused her to lose a groundbreaking role on one of his planned TV shows.

Richards, who was set to voice a transgender character on the TBS series “The Cops,” said “the consequences of these actions go far” after C.K. admitted to masturbating in front of women or over the phone.

"I guess I can say this now: I was one of the stars of ‘The Cops’. There was going to be an animated trans character, voiced by a trans actress, on network television. The consequences of these actions go far,” she wrote.

“That announcement kinda took the 'look at all these amazing women’ wind out of my sails. I know this isn’t about me, but I was really excited to voice a cartoon character. To have a bada–, openly trans character on network t.v. would have been awesome. Oh well."” Women have been sexually assaulted and humiliated. But aw. What about the twanz? Oh well!

I wish teenagers/children with mental illnesses would be taken more seriously like I’ve attempted suicide three times and I am fourteen fucking years old! And everyone acts like all teenagers are sad and whatever but there’s a difference between sadness and wanting to die. My best friend was thirteen when she killed herself because no one would take her seriously even when she was covered in scars from head to toe. Everyone seems to have the idea that if you’re under 18 and suffering from a mental illness then you’re either a typical student or an attention seeker and it’s making it so hard for kids my age to reach out for help.

I wish it was more acceptable to question the root cause of dysphoria.

When I was involved in trans spaces I was taught that dysphoria just is, that it’s an innate part of our identities, and at first I thought it was comforting that I was just like this as opposed to being a freak. I thought all the resources on how to minimize the inherent suffering of being “not cis” was fantastic, and then I discovered that my proportions are off and my lungs are too weak for a binder.

I honestly cried over it, I thought I was doomed to suffer forever because of the way I was born. Top surgery would have been too distant and expensive an option, so I was forced to reconcile with my body instead. I wasn’t able to heal until I realized that I was running from not having an “ideal” women’s body and from the sexist expectations of my Hispanic step mother and trying to soothe the ache of losing my biological mother and having such a rocky relationship with my step mother that I never had the opportunity to learn from a female role model.

I learned not to care about those things as much, and I still hate the attention my breasts can get from men but on the whole I feel so much more content with myself. I’m just angry that I had to go through this whole process alone while feeling ashamed to think that my dysphoria could have a cause besides innate transness and therefore be treated without transition. Maybe my way isn’t going to work for everyone, but I can’t be the only person it helps and it’s a tragedy that we aren’t even made aware this is an option.

Trans women are angry because they aren’t treated like real women while real women don’t even want to be treated like real women.

[gothterf]

Maybe they would stop wanting be women if they realized that being a woman is not about being pink and frilly and instead about being systematically oppressed for your reproductive organs

[little-red-clitoral-hood-deacti]

Nah, cuz they think that oppression is “sexy” and “validating” |: |: |:

[queersona]

Yikes

Anyways, not all transwomen want to dress feminine, in fact there are transwomen who are still very masculine!

terfism = cringe

[little-red-clitoral-hood-deacti]

Yes like this totally beautiful transwoman right here

[queersona]

Reminder that some trans women cannot transition due to medical or personal reasons, but this does not mean they less of a woman.

a reminder that mainstream feminism is actually feminism that’s been co-opted by capitalism, and it functions exclusively as a way for corporations to make money off of you in the name of empowerment

sure, not all men, but a lot of men, and we have no way of knowing which ones

“sure, not all black people, but a lot of black people, and we have no way of knowing which ones.”

This is exactly how you sound.

lettuce consult the fbi data:

Of the 1,864 women murdered in 2010, 91% were killed by men. (by contrast, of the 3,872 men murdered, only 9% were killed by women). Of all the women murdered (by either sex), over a third were killed by a husband or boyfriend. women have legitimate reason to fear men, even the ones they know. 

Of the 3,327 white people murdered in 2010, only 13% were killed by black people. 3% were killed by other or unknown races. white people do not have a statistically legitimate reason to fear other races.

women’s fear of men is based in reality, not bigotry. white people’s fear of other races is based in bigotry, not reality.

[queeroranges-deactivated]

if the western world really doesn’t need feminism, and everyone is equal, then where are all the women stabbing and killing men who rejected them? where are all the women throwing acid in men’s faces? where are all the women shooting up their college campuses?
