This is not my main blog. Because of that, when I follow you, another blog's name will appear. I do this so my real identity is not easily found.
If I reblogged or liked lots of your posts / you followed me, and then a blog with a black and white profile picture, and whose name begins with an "i" and ends with an "s", follows you, that's me :)
So many political posts I hate boil down to "I don't want to organize and work with people I hate and fight for small, incremental victories, I just want to start a revolution where everyone magically becomes an automaton who acts exactly the way I think they should act"
Like damn man, I want that too. Unfortunately I live in reality though so we're stuck with the first thing.
I will say one of the reasons why some radfems on tumblr feel isolated is because they don't know how to use tumblr.
There's a post going around with about 1k radfems who are looking for women in their area. There are many issues with it I've found when following up on it.
Some women will add their location and that's it! They'll yell into the void and hope the void yells back.
A very large portion of these women have their messages set so no one can contact them or so no one can contact them unless they are already following that user. Hint: if you're following them, you probably don't need to reach out right?
Other than a few women running regional blogs (blessed angels) no one is checking the notes! Someone will say "well there's probably no radfems in [wherever city]" and there will be like 10 women in the notes saying the same thing! (Not that it would make much of a difference given the last bullet but yeah)
Don't even get me started on the women who reblog it and put the location in the tags instead of just adding a comment/reply (only you, and maybe me, will see the tag. Not everyone has the version of tumblr that shows tags. Meaning few women will know you added a location)
Tumblr, like other social media, and like space lol, is a bunch of orbits. You have to reblog posts to get them into other orbits. Say a woman adds her location to that post, it will only be seen by a fraction of her followers. Me and some of those regional blogs and some other dope women do reblog it sometimes, boosting it into our orbits. But it would help if others did to.
And this applies to all kinds of radfem posts on tumblr. Likes are cool I guess but reblogging is where things start moving. Libfems and anti feminists seem to have figured it out. I see so many great radfem posts and discussion die out because they have little interaction. More exposure will increase the interaction and that leads to women connecting.
I hope this will inspire you to change your settings, reblog radfem posts, and interact with each other.
Hola!! Sigo buscando radfems por España!!!! :'))
I know I say this all the time but seriously if you’re a radfem you need to gather with other radical women. It’s vital for you and them. Maybe you can only make it to one gathering, a festival, maybe start a meetup. Maybe it’ll only be 3 of you there, but it’s something and it really changes everything. You’re not alone and you don’t have to be. Connect. Gather.
Edit to add:
Add your location in a reblog/reply (not the tags, not everyone can see tags) and then scroll through the notes to find women to message in your area. (And then message them)

I find it very telling that there’s a trans and gay flag emoji but there’s no lesbian flag emoji. or even a bisexual flag
Who GAF
me that’s why I posted it
i cannot stress this enough. if you are a radfem, you should be volunteering at your local women’s shelter if you have the time and resources. posting online is cool and all because it gives younger women or women who haven’t peaked yet an opportunity to discover and resonate with radical feminism, but if we want to see actual change in real life we’re gonna have to start it. go to a women’s rehab center, donate clothing to a rape shelter, protest if you can. nothing is hopeless if we become the hope in this world
I'm not a radfem but I agree with this.
If male/female socialization doesn't exist, you are arguing one of two things
Men and women don't behave in different ways (observably untrue, if this was the case sexism would not exist)
Men and women behave in different ways due to biology (age-old sexist talking point, doesn't explain how behavior is heavily impacted by time period and culture)
If all trans women are female socialized, I can't understand how this would be the case unless you believe in a special female soul that is so present in a person AMAB that it deflects any and all absorbing of lessons and treatment from being perceived as male by others for an entire childhood. (Even if the individual thought they were male their entire childhood, had no female friends, and displayed clearly male-patterned socialization their whole life until transition)
If trans women become female socialized as soon as they transition, this implies childhood is not a critical development period that sticks with you for your whole life, which is untrue. This also implies most trans women are perceived as women and live the same as cis women as soon as they transition which is untrue.
the online identity and gimmick-ifying of autism is so odd. I'm diagnosed with autism and yet I barely identify with any stuff I see about it anymore. It feels like autism is being rebranded as the Silly Guy Disorder that gives you smart and beautiful hyperspecific interests. it's not that I mind silly jokes or being lighthearted about being autistic- but when the entire social movement is based around marketing us this way, I just can't help but feel isolated from it. it feels like I'm not the right kind of autistic. I'm not marketable and digestible to common audiences, and therefore I am discarded by the movement in the name of progress and acceptance. it feels foul.
Basic radical feminism: Women are not objects
Liberal "feminists":
But what if women could be objects?
But what about women choosing to be objects?
But what about women who enjoy being objects?
But what about the complex cultural, personal, intersectional and political landscape around being an object?
It's like they hate when anything has any meaning.
notice the trans GIRL vs cis WOMAN
“her tits bouncing in your face”
but it’s not a fetish guys we swear!!
I never understood why the "kink at pride" thing was ever a huge debate. like if you really wanna walk around wearing fetish gear there are plenty of clubs out there that are specifically for that sort of activity and are for adults only.
why do you wanna do it at an outdoor event where random bystanders who do not consent to seeing that are around that may include families with their children so badly? I mean, I know the reason but I just wanna hear you say it lol
being white and making a black character the mouthpiece for your "these white hags are so MANNISH I thought they were just someone who can't pass. you know, one of us" comic...
does the body ALWAYS have to keep the score? maybe we could just have a friendly game this time. maybe we can just have fun without putting numbers on it
i think people are starting to confuse class analysis with bioessentialism. like... no not all men do this, but Men as a constructed social class do do this. that's still okay to say. that is regular material analysis of the world around us.
apparently youre supposed to perform. they love it when you perform. but it has to be authentic. they hate it when it's not authentic. but you have to perform.
