once again men cant decide what they want from women. one minutes its "women are nothing without makeup" and the next theyre finally willing to admit how damaging the beauty industry is to women.

[virtualcremefem]

The trick is that it doesn't matter, the woman is always at fault. Men's preferences are most important.

[a-griffin-in-the-clouds]

I’ve seen the light. After much reflection, I’ve realized I am always have been, truly a

Cistranswoman

That is, someone who was born a woman, identifies as a woman, but who should have been born a man... so that I could have transitioned into being a woman, as was my destiny all along.

My truth is complex and my journey is unique. But that doesn’t make it any less valid.

This revelation came to me while pondering the ever-expanding galaxy of gender identities and the mantra that “anyone can identify as a woman.”

So I asked myself why not me, but twice? Why should I only be a woman once, when I identify as someone who should have had to transition to be what I already am?

The beauty of identity is that it’s freeform now. So I am claiming the sacred trans narrative as my own, I am trans in spirit.

I am a trans soul trapped in a cisgender experience trapped in a postmodern performance art piece.

Call me brave. Call me visionary. Call me cistranswoman, and get it right.

If you’re trans and think this is mockery, imagine how women feel watching the definition of “woman” get rewritten without our input. -_-

CISTRANSWOMEN ARE WOMEN 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[imdiafs]

«Curiously, I am not aware of any word in the English language for a particular emotion that every woman to whom I’ve spoken has experienced at least once, but that the men to whom I’ve spoken don’t seem to recognise at all. It is a combination of both sexual disgust and fear – the bone-deep, nauseating feeling of being trapped in proximity to a horny man who repulses you. Being groped in a crowd, or leered at while travelling alone, or propositioned a little too forcefully in a bar – all of these situations can provoke this horrible emotion. It is an emotion that women in the sex industry are forced to repress. In fact, as the prostitution survivor Rachel Moran has written, the ability not to cry or vomit in response to sexual fear and disgust is one of the essential ‘skills’ demanded by the industry.»

“Not all females menstruate!” -True, but only females menstruate

“Not all females have breasts and curves!” -True, but this body fat distribution is most common in females

“Not all females have XX chromosomes!” -True, but no female has a SRY gene.

“Not all females dress feminine, are nurturing, or want children!” -True, and they shouldn’t have to do any of those things

“Some females have penises!” -Wrong, that is a male-specific trait

[0ffbeatqueer]

This is my new favourite headline I've seen all year lmaooo

[river-grunfeld]

100+ females signed up for a female competition, okay?

The largest problem with the pagent system is pushing sexism and furthering gender/gender roles.

It's a no brainer that a male who thinks being female is just the way you talk/act/dress would try and enter this.

[lemonynesser]

holy transphobia, batman

[river-grunfeld]

Transphobia is just the word the trans community uses for things they don't like.

You could try writing an original response if you had thoughts.

[lemonynesser]

transphobia is a word used when a trans individual and/or collective is not recognized as their gender, and/or given the same amount of respect as a cisgendered person

you could try writing a non-ad-hominem response if you had an argument

[river-grunfeld]

You mean an ad hominem response. I was directly attacking your position not you as a person.

Also you just explained essentually what I said. Because any response other than what is deemed affirming by the trans community is considered transphobia IE, every other possible response.

The trans community doesn't have any objective other than its obsession with affirming gender based on feeling. So anything the trans community doesn't like is automatically transphobia.

[clytemnestradidnothingwrong]

A man can’t compete, so a bunch of women signed up as a protest”? How the hell is that to help them achieve their goal of letting the man compete?

[benyw]

Women will go to the ends of the earth for men who wouldn't even piss on them if they were on fire. Those roided out women are a fucking embarrassment.

[unsentimentaltranslator]

TIFs are to feminism as poor right wingers are to class struggle

[grrungewolf]

yall heard it here first folks, lesbians arent even allowed to have boundaries at all now without being called a terf

[notable-spinster]

whenever I see someone pissed about a woman’s “boundaries” I assume that person is a rapist

Newsflash to terfs:

Nobody hates you because you’re a lesbian. They hate you because you spout hate and reduce women down to their genitalia, cis or not, and it’s g r o s s.

I hope one day you’ll realize the negative impact on people and change your views.

May Aphrodite and Sappho pop you on your damn forehead for spouting hate in their names.

[girlsmoonsandstars]

This is so dishonest. You can keep repeating that people don’t hate me for being a lesbian until hell freezes over but at the end of the day the only “hate” I’m “spouting” is “I’m a homosexual”.

My actual views (or actions) on literally anything related to trans rights are irrelevant because I won’t pretend to be attracted to someone to make them feel better. The only thing that makes me a “terf” in anyone’s view is being afab exclusively attracted to afab.

Y'all can pretend otherwise but I kind of have a lot of experience with homophobia. It’s not any more righteous coming from liberals.

[celtyradfem]

There is no such thing as ‘cisgender’ the concept of ‘cisgender’ is a misogynist ideological imposition created men to define women and control us.

[randompersonsposts]

Trans women constantly accuse us if spouting hate while evocing violent imagery. They constantly try to define for us what a woman is and what female means while claiming that we erase them.

We do not identify as CIS and TERF is a slur.

[kittiesatemypronouns]

Newsflash to transactivists:

Not every woman who rejects your misogynistic and homophobic gender nonsense is a lesbian. I’m not. What does that do to your theory that believing transwomen remain males is based on rejecting penises?

My beliefs in this regard have zero negative impact on you. Where do you get off harassing lesbians like this when the fact that transwomen are still male has nothing to do with whether or not we find you attractive?

Also, wow, such original phrasing, “reducing women down to their genitalia.” Do you even know what you mean by that? And why do you have to overstate everything so much? You could just say “reduce women to their genitals,” but you’re all too addicted to amateur theatrics and aping each other’s slogans to express yourselves thoughtfully.

[spoonful-of-puns]

it is really astounding to me how much power the phrase "OP is a terf" holds. like the post could be "women are being killed so their bodies can be sold to men" and everyone will ignore it if "OP is a terf." it could be "women are more likely to die in car crashes because car safety is only tested on males, and the same goes for medications, which are only tested on males" and if someone comments "OP is a terf" suddenly all those women don't matter. suddenly all the trafficked, murdered, abused, women don't matter because "OP is a terf." it's so transparent that modern liberal "feminists" don't give a flying fuck about actually addressing women's real issues and that their only form of activism is sending rape threats to women who call Jonathan Yaniv a he.

[radicalmomo]

this is all very intentional, btw. they ban interaction with us bc they know that we talk about shit that actually affects women, which they want to avoid at all costs.

[dhakcjshkvjbd]

that sucks but it’s a male experience. you need to stop assuming that suffering is synonymous with being female. your desperation not to be male is something that only a male person can experience. suffering as a GNC male does not make you a girl and it’s deeply disturbing that you assume it does.

it seems like a lot of TIMs find it deeply upsetting to know that their persecutors are the same sex as them. maybe it’s natural to be upset about having anything in common with your bullied, but at times it seems like they just can’t bear the thought of men hurting other men and they need to pretend that the victims are women in order to make sense of it, because they see femaleness and victimhood as synonymous

[glitter-soda]

If trans women were actually our “sisters”, they’d understand that, as males, A) some women are always going to be uncomfortable with their presence and B) some things just aren’t fucking for them. But no, they get single sex spaces forcibly shut down, they threaten lesbians with rape and other violence for not wanting to date them, they eagerly take scholarships and positions meant for women, etc. That’s not ally or “sister” behavior, that’s male entitlement (duh)

You’re right and you should say it

[a-purple-girl]

"it''ll be a statue of a woman, like a beautiful statue of a woman, and it'll be like...she helped lead the way for so many refugees or she was a nurse or she was this and she was that. She was just this pillar of society in her time. She was such an influential and powerful woman.

And they'll zoom in on her face, and they'll zoom in on the plaque, and they'll zoom out and show a full body...and it’ll show that one of her breasts has been basically rubbed off and it’s so shiny because all the tourists and, you know, whoever, has touched her breast and that's her legacy now.

[…] and you walk up to it and it’s just… through all that, through all the effort, through all the care and all the legacy she left behind, the only thing that she is now seen for is her breasts. That's gonna make me actually sick."

Who put the ball and chain on her in the first place? He gets what he deserves.

[hygienequeen]

liberal feminism: getting rid of your ball and chain

radical feminism: getting rid of the system that put the ball and chain on you so that no other women can be chained

[catlogicdefiesall]

Liberal “feminism” isn’t even getting rid of your ball and chain. It’s convincing you that wearing a ball and chain is Sexy and Empowering and btw you should buy the latest model.

[mademoisellemaddox-deactivated2]

midwifery is such an underrated job. literally i've never seen anything more empowering than helping a woman and her baby during her most vulnerable moment and nothing is ever spoken about it.
