I think my blog is fl*gged. My comments don’t appear when I comment other people’s posts. I’m sorry to my followers if I’m not active anymore, I’m depressed and also busy, I don’t have energy anymore for this blog. I’ll still answer questions or private messages if I ever get one, but it may take a few days or weeks.

We also have a discord for vegan radfems, if interested, pm me.

from what i’ve seen, there seems to be a higher proportion of vegan radfems than the general population. can you like this if you’re a vegan radfem (or nearly or vegetarian i guess, but you’re on THIN ICE lol).

Ok this was my main goal coming here. I created this blog to find more people like me but I just didn’t get any reach haha. Plus, I’m autistic and lesbian, just to feel ever more like a minority...

all the wonderful infographics that the lovely Sarah Digby and her other account, endographics created to spread more info about endometriosis in an easy and accessible way. she also has a website, and her infographics and site also comes in spanish. she has said that all the images are welcome for anyone to use and share for free, and she has her credit down at the bottom, but it’s small and in the corner, and the first infographic actually went viral on various platforms, with not much notice or idea that she was the creator of it, particularly because these are dense text graphics, some of which get shared so low quality that you cannot read her credits. her original post of it only has 249 likes. please give her love.

Thousands of lions are killed each year because of trophy hunters.

Woke™ : OMG that's horrendous, we should do something about it!

Millions of male calves are killed every year so you can drink his mother's milk. Moreover, animal agriculture is one of the main causes of habitat loss and human-wildlife conflicts.

Woke™ : And?

Let me describe to you what kind of world gender abolitionists actually dream about:

When a child would be born it’s biological sex, being an actual physical reality, would be noticed but not a single assumption regarding the child’s personality would be made based on it.

Growing up, children would be free to chose what toys and clothes they prefer. If they want to play with toy trucks or dolls, it would be fine either way. If they want to dress comfortably or in frilly colorful dresses, it would be fine.

Certain personality traits would not be encouraged in members of one sex and discouraged in the other. Females would be free to be strong, brave and assertive and males would not be shamed for being shy and soft spoken.

No female child would be called a tomboy and no male child would be called a sissy. No kid would ever be bullied for what we in our gendered world call “gender expression”.

When children would reach puberty they would still be free to dress how they want. Females would not be pressured to wear clothes that reveal their bodies and males would not be shamed if they chose to. Everybody would have a free choice of accessories, which would not be categorized as “men’s” or “women’s” but people could should whichever they liked. Or chose to not wear accessories at all if that’s what they are more comfortable with.

Females would not be pressured to keep their bodies slim, soft and hairless. Males would not be pressured to be athletic and muscular. Expectations of femininity and masculinity upon the body would not exist and affect negatively people’s relationship with their own body.

Everyone could choose a career without fearing stigmatization within that particular field because of their biological sex. The most important thing would be competence and not what someone has between their legs.

Domestic work would not be considered “women’s work” and would be shared equally between the sexes.

Biological sex would only be thought about when relevant. And everyone would be free to be themselves without ever having to worry about gender expectations. Nobody would feel the need to repress certain parts of their personality and exaggerate others in order to fit into some gender role that is being forced on them.

Gender abolitionism is not about restricting people’s choices but about giving them greater freedom.

looking for a friend

I need to find better friends. I’m tired of misogyny and homophobia. Are there any lez/bi radfem who wanna talk regularly about hot women and kpop (mostly mamamoo) and other fun subjects?

The hatred I have for people who parrot the “Genital fetishists/genital preference/hearts not parts” rhetoric is literally ineffable. The bare minimum that gay people ask for is the recognition that they are same sex attracted, that’s literally the bare minimum. The bar is on the fucking floor and yet these self identified q*eer progressives couldn’t even do that. You’re all homophobes, and dressing it up in flowery language doesn’t hide that you find same sex attraction disgusting.
