Please be kind to other women

If your belief system is right, reading some blogs won't change your mind. If nothing else please at least be kind to fellow women.

You can’t change your gender because gender is the social expectations placed on you by virtue of your sex e.g. femininity is the gender assigned to females.

You can’t change your sex because sex is an immutable part of your biology that extends down to the cellular level e.g. female is the term for a member of the sex that produces large gametes.

What you *can* do is wear whatever you want and act however you want and like whoever you want regardless of what anybody says and regardless of your gender and sex. That is truly radical.

Maybe you've noticed, maybe you haven't, but this blog runs on a queue. I haven't been on this account for a while now.

I've developed a bad habit which is probably a certain kind of self harm. I've been viewing male supremacist blogs, not the sort of explicit MRAs, but instead a more vicious and disgusting type of misogynist, the MtF or as they like to call themselves the trans "women". I know you don't wanna hear about them either, but it's the truth. Being a feminist is crazymaking, when the left wing that was ment to give you freedom from your oppression works to hide its reality and crush your social justice movements. Especially when they keep telling you that you're wrong and that you will come around, but then they can't change your mind. Instead they call you evil again and again, until you yourself start internalizing it, believing it.

(And I'm not joking about how deep their chauvinism goes. If you look deep enough into theories of "transmisogyny" you will see males saying they were oppressed from birth by all women due to their "transwomanhood" which through basically magical means permiated them and caused them to experience misogyny, but also worse, because misogyny isn't that bad. Everything that women had but worse. Much much worse. The ultimate victim.)

But you are not evil, dear reader. Even if you've made mistakes and hurt people, you are not evil. You are right to want justice. You are right to hate your oppressor. You are right to be angry.

It's not like I haven't learned anything, I've learned to be a better ally for transmasculine people. I've mellowed out, I suppose, but I didn't loose my principles. I still wish for the liberation for all of womankind.

I wish to live in a world where I'm not afaraid to speak freely. Where feminists can be proud. I think we can work on it.

I intend to keep studying feminism and talking on it. Hopefully I can be "normie" enough about it so that leftist male supremacists can't attack me, at least not in a socially valid way.

Either way, it's time to cut the habit. I wish to make a life for myself that is happier and healthier. And I hope you will too. Focus on other women, focus on love and on support. I wish you the best. I love you sister! Good luck!

if you’re butch in public you’re showing kids what kind of woman they can be. you’re a marvel and an open door. you are something they might have thought was impossible. you are the proof little butch girls need that they can exist grown up and happy and handsome without changing a single thing

An underclass of women reserved specifically for sex/rape is a necessity in patriarchy. There has never been a society that was so religious+ traditional that it was completely devoid of prostitution/sex slavery. Prostitution IS the tradition. Sex work expansionists aligning themselves with "progressive" ideologies is so backwards because sex work is actually a part of traditional, religious and conservative cultural norms.

"The male Left abandoned abortion rights for genuinely awful reasons: the boys were not getting laid; there was bitterness and anger against feminists for ending a movement (by withdrawing from it) that was both power and sex for the men; there was also the familiar callous indifference of the sexual exploiter--if he couldn't screw her she wasn't real.

The hope of the male Left is that the loss of abortion rights will drive women back into the ranks--even fear of losing might do that; and the male Left has done what it can to assure the loss. The Left has created a vacuum that the Right has expanded to fill--this the Left did by abandoning a just cause, by its decade of quietism, by its decade of sulking. But the Left has not just been an absence; it has been a presence, outraged at women's controlling their own bodies, outraged at women's organizing against sexual exploitation, which by definition means women also organizing against the sexual values of the Left. When feminist women have lost legal abortion altogether, leftist men expect them back--begging for help, properly chastened, ready to make a deal, ready to spread their legs again. On the Left, women will have abortion on male terms, as part of sexual liberation, or women will not have abortion except at risk of death."

[remnantglow]

well anyway. my discovery of the day is the art of Jeffrey Catherine Jones! she was a trans woman who painted a huge amount of fantasy & scifi cover art for books and magazines, among other things :)

Girls when their periods sync

I'll delete this later and I know the post caption is probably just a cute joke thingie, but I love this piece so much, not only because the art is beautiful but because this is exactly what I'm trying to do with my artwork too, make women into little creatures! This makes me feel so represented because women almost never get representation like this. Again I know this caption was more of a "meme" than a serious thing but it still made me happy! I know this wasn't the artist's intention and these are my own personal thoughts - this might sound stupid but it took me so long to figure out I was a woman because I never even realised that women can be like this. I don't mean literal werewolves obviously, but it's hard to explain - the fact that you can point at a picture of hairy werewolves dancing and say "girls on their period" instead of "little guys/bro's night". Yknow how everyone looks at a creature/animal and goes "he/him/little guy" assuming that everything is male by default, because people usually only recognise women when they are pink/girly - because womanhood is mostly a performance. Men can exist as they are, they don't have to shave, have eyelashes, etc. and everyone will recognise them as "men", while women have to do this whole performance. You would have to glue long eyelashes, boobs and pink paint on a an animal to make people recognise it as a "she". This is not every case ofc but it's just mostly what I've experienced.

And for the longest time I thought in order to be a woman I had to do this "performance" as well, because that's just what womanhood is. And it never felt right, I could never do it (especially as an autistic person), which made me believe I wasn't a woman at all. I just subconsciously associated women with pink/feminine/babies/girly stuff... because I never had representation like this. Women existing in their natural state - again, I don't mean literal werewolves - but, hairy, fat, "ugly". I had to LEARN that women can look/be neutral, and even masculine (please don't judge too hard, I was raised in as a hardcore Christian in the worst country in the EU so I had a lot of internalised misogyny to undo).

I only realised it later that women can be so much more. That I can be free. Women can even be hairy werewolves dancing around fire.

This is why I call lots of my creature-characters and clay figurines "she", because to me, it feels so gender-affirming and makes me so happy to have this kind of representation, as weird as it might sound.

Being a gender-noncomforming hairy, stinky woman-creature is absolutely my gender and I'm so happy when I see art like this

[ink-the-artist]

No ur completely spot on lol I have a very similar mindset for a lot of my art including the part about calling your clay creatures “she” I do the same for my creature sculptures. Some of my arts captions/titles are more genuine than others that are more meant for a joke (often it’s somewhere in between) this one’s a joke in the implication this is what happens to girls when their periods sync (and it being about periods at all really) but the werewolves were absolutely meant to be women and I set out intending to draw weird monstrous-looking women having fun.

assuming that everything is male by default, because people usually only recognise women when they are pink/girly - because womanhood is mostly a performance. Men can exist as they are, they don't have to shave, have eyelashes, etc. and everyone will recognise them as "men", while women have to do this whole performance. You would have to glue long eyelashes, boobs and pink paint on a an animal to make people recognise it as a "she"

This part especially I have a whole post talking about this sort of thing with my art
