oh my god remember in the early 1800s when anne lister realised she was attracted to women and only women and she decided that it was her god given right and that she was not wrong for acting on it, it was everyone else who was wrong for thinking it was wrong, even though literally EVERYONE thought it was wrong and then she MARRIED A WOMAN in EIGHTEEN THIRTY FOUR. like honestly what the FUCK???? she just DID THAT??? seriously WHAT???
I have really tried not to be angry at libfem women but at this point I’ve just about lost it.
“You’re transphobic if you talk about your vagina!”
“Trans women are dying and you wanna talk about the very thing in which you are being oppressed for?? In your own movement??”
the women’s march was a great example of why males cannot be involved in feminism and how they will always try to control women and redirect the conversation to center themselves- never mind the context of the march or the scale of female suffering globally
“pussy grabs back” is a slogan that was created when the then-presidential candidate donald trump (and now the president of the united states) made comments about how he can sexually assault women and get away with it.
these people are really watering down the point of that phrase. they’re purposely misrepresenting it as a stupid white feminist™ phrase instead of a rallying cry to call out how a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE was exposed for saying that he can, and does, grab women by their genitalia.
it was a slogan created to call out sexual assault against women.
and these freaks are acting like it’s a useless slogan deliberately created with the sole intention of excluding trans women from feminism. as if any mention of the female body only exists to deliberately destroy these men’s fantasies of being women.
More women die in the us alone than transwomen in the whole world.
Notice they’re using our language. Now we’re the ones invading feminist spaces.
Oh the whole thing is darvo. 2500 women in the last two years just in the us. Compaired to what 60 maybe transwomen in the whole world in the same time period. But those hats that we knitted invalidated their gender. Its ridiculous especally the prevalence of transvestites who are actively useing the trans movement specifically to harm women and girls.
I think part of the reason so many het womyn are opposed to separatism and think it's unfair is that they assume we want them to condemn themselves to lonely lives of emotional isolation and never know intimacy or close bonds with another person.
But imo one of the goals of separatism is to teach womyn how to have close, meaningful, intimate relationships with other womyn--even if those relationships aren't romantic or sexual! That it is possible to form fulfilling bonds with others, even if you're not married to or having sex with that person. It is possible. But it's part of the agenda of patriarchy to convince womyn that relationships that can end in marriage and procreation are the only truly meaningful ones, that the only intimacy we can have can only come from men. Separatism challenges this.
str8white radfems will really be like “solidarity is working with homophobic white supremacist anti-abortion women bc despite all our differences we can all shit on trans and gnc people together” and then turn around and be like “hey why do lesbians and woc hate me that’s not very solidarity of them.”
“being female means having the urge to be a vessel for someone else’s desire”: book deal with trendy leftist press
“being female means experiencing inescapable misogyny”: need security guards when speaking in public
lemme put it this way: I’d rather the entire human race die out than any woman be forced to bear a child against her will
#최종범_처벌 or “Punish Choi Jongbum” is currently trending on Twitter. Choi Jongbum is the ex boyfriend of Korean singer Goo Hara, who died just today. She was suing him for revenge porn shortly before her death. On top of the revenge porn, he also violently assaulted her to the extent of causing injury to her organs and putting her in the hospital. The trial is ongoing and currently, he walks free. There is not much we can do, except make sure his name and face are out there so that he can feel the kind of shame he no doubt made her suffer. Tweet it, share it, anything you can do - make it known that this man is all but a murderer. There is also a petition to increase penalties for sex crimes that is gaining attention in light of her death - you can sign it here (and here is a guide on how for those that don’t speak Korean). It’s too late, but maybe we can strive for some tiny shred of justice so that Goo Hara did not die in vain. Please consider signing the petition even if you do not know who Goo Hara was.

Yesterday a group of lesbians went to Bradford Pride to celebrate their sexuality and challenge the erasure of lesbians by transactivists.
We had decided to meet in a coffee shop before going into the square. Whilst sat drinking coffee we were approached by two police officers from West Yorkshire Police. They explained that someone had come to them and said that they’d seen some placards and so they wanted to make sure that there was nothing derogatory and that we were not a hate group. We assured them that we were just lesbians going to Pride. That WYP felt it necessary to question a group of lesbians sat in a public place should concern everyone. The state has no business intimidating or policing the peaceful behaviour of its citizens just in case they offend someone.
The placard in question read ‘Lesbian = Female HomoSEXual’. That this was worthy of attention from the police illustrates our point. Our belief is that lesbians have the right to chose their partners based on sex and not gender identity. This position does not conflict with the right of individuals to express themselves or to live their lives in the gender they choose- we are not anti-transgender or transphobic.
When we entered the event and held our banners up we were approached by people asking why we were there and by some young lesbians that wanted a photo with the banner. We spoke to one person who said we had no place at Pride — we disagreed but it was a civil discussion. Then came a transgender woman who wanted to stand in front of our banner and shout at us, before leaving to speak from the stage. The crowd were told that we were bigoted and showing intolerance and not welcome at Pride. This had the desired effect, almost no-one approached us after this except to try to make us leave. It is a tactic that is becoming very familiar — to stop people questioning the narrative put forward by transactivists, stifle discussion and cast lesbians and women trying to stand up for their rights as hateful bigots.
After Pride’s opening speeches, some men came over to try to get us to leave, when we refused they attempted to cover our banners with transgender flags. A gay man came over to explain that lesbians have no right to oppress transgender women by refusing to have relationships with them. A video of that exchange was recorded and even watching it back I can see a man looming over a woman on a mobility scooter trying to intimidate her. Gay men telling lesbians that they are bigoted to want same-sex relationships. A group of large men telling women to be quiet and capitulate to what men believe is right. Who is oppressing who here?
Lesbians ON CHAIRS in a coffee shop
Lesbians are peacefully protesting LGBT prides because they have been excluded from their own communities. Lesbians must either accept that male bodies and attitudes are female or be shunned. I asked one of the angry men where he thought homosexual women should go, he walked off and came back with a group of large men and some flags to try to cover our banners. That he couldn’t answer me was revealing. He accepts that being a homosexual is now transphobic and that my right to a relationship with a woman I love must be sacrificed to gender ideology, but presumably either lacks the empathy to see the issue with that or perhaps the courage to stand up for the rights of homosexuals at a Pride event.
Pride was historically about civil rights, somewhere down the line it became fluff, a party, and an opportunity for corporate entities to show off how inclusive they are. Lesbians cannot join in with this party while even LGBT organisations deem female homosexuality transphobic. Pride marches should be a catalyst for lesbians to draw attention to the prejudice and discrimination they face, even when it comes from within the LGBT community.
LGBT organisations do not advocate for or represent the L. This is typified by their stance on gender identity (see Stonewall’s revamped definition of the word ‘homosexual’) but it by no means ends there. Where is the funding for lesbian-only spaces and groups? Lesbians face additional challenges when coming out or being openly homosexual because they are women; this is rarely acknowledged and women are not supported. We are concerned that young women who are lesbian and gender non-conforming are instead being encouraged to become straight transmen. This is modern conversion therapy. LGBT organisations are not listening to the concerns of lesbians, instead choosing to support coercion, gaslighting and deception of lesbians into unwanted sex. Unwanted sex is a synonym for rape. Lesbians need to form an independent movement for the benefit of our community.
Yesterday, Bradford Pride chose to try to intimidate and silence a group of lesbians defending their rights. I was nervous before we went out, but found that events unfolded in exactly the same way they have every time men have tried to make me be quiet throughout my life. I am not nervous now, I’m angry. Women are used to men trying to dominate, we also have a proud tradition of standing together for our rights. We will not be quiet.

This male trans person is currently staying in a woman’s emergency shelter. (source)
The situation in women's shelters is so much worse than this suggests. Yes, a male predator is staying in a homeless women's shelter, displaying erections to the women there, making misogynistic remarks on social media, posting full-body nudes featuring erections, and talking about masturbating in shelter spaces. What's really important is the shelter's response.
When alerted to the situation, the shelter said they were "familiar" with Tyler, and that as a trans woman, Tyler was held to the same standards as women in maintaining the shelter as a safe space. I'm sure Tyler is held to the same standards, but that's why it doesn't work to treat male people and female people as equivalent. It's not about the gender identity. It's about the male anatomy, the male socialization, and the paraphilic disorders exhibited by some male people.
In society, the powerless are always made to accept some indignity to survive. Their allies and advocates are often the ones to impose it. So it goes, for women seeking shelter after domestic abuse, during dependency on drugs or alcohol, or because of poverty.
It may be a display of disrespect, even a threat, to expose genitals. When undressing, a male person reaches a state of exhibition before a female person does. Whether erect or flaccid, a penis and testicles are obvious through underwear. Also, the impact of a male person's nakedness on women is different from the impact of female nakedness. Male people can exploit this to show sexual or interpersonal aggression.
It only takes a handful of such people to make every women's shelter a site of degradation and endangerment for women. That's because most women's shelters are complacent with exposing women to these situations. Government policies require them to do so for funding, and they will not fight for women's dignity against dollars.
The shelter is typical of most institutions that have authority over vulnerable women. They've permitted a male person (often staff, but in this case, a resident) to exhibit every sign of predatory motives. The shelter expects women to submit to Tyler's sexualized displays of male genitals, in return for housing. The shelter tolerates male aggression in female spaces.
The shelter clearly makes no effort to screen the male people who request admission. For practical and moral reasons, there's no way a shelter could screen for "bad" and "fake" trans women. In fact, there's no way to ban Tyler from exhibiting daily erections, when as a trans woman, Tyler can claim it's a medical condition.
Women are in danger of physical harm and trauma, now that all male people are allowed to enter women's shelters, regardless of motive (here, we have one of the many paraphilic male people for whom transition is a sexualized act of invading, conquering, and claiming womanhood).
Tyler also has referred to women generally as "sluts," and posted the recipe for Ricin on social media, speculating that Tyler could kill everyone in the city by getting it into the water supply.
The problem isn't that Tyler fantasizes about poisoning people (mental illness can be a factor in homelessness), or that Tyler sees sexual contact with women as a demonstration of power over them (a common aspect of male socialization), or that Tyler holds women in contempt (many people of both sexes do so). These aren't reasons to deny a homeless person shelter.
Tyler is male, in a society in which male violence against women is commonplace. Tyler can invoke violence through displays of male sexuality, and terrorize women in a way that a female person could not. Terrorizing women is not compatible with sheltering them. We have choices to make as a society.
We can endanger Tyler via placement in a men's shelter. Tyler is weaker than the average male, and stigmatized as a trans woman. Where Tyler goes, all trans women go.
We can fund shelters open only to female people, only to male people, and open to every trans person, respectively.
Or we can throw away women. We can empower Tyler to impose on them, teach them they are helpless, and that no one cares, no one will stop the abuse.
We can throw away women.
It's easy.
We are always poised to do so. That's the purpose of our hierarchy of gender. It prepares us to value a hundred female people less than one male person. So we can throw women away.
Some women's shelters haven't hesitated.
By my count, this is the fifth story of an exhibitionist, misogynist trans woman living in a homeless shelter. Sometimes the trans woman has a criminal history of violence against women or children. Often the trans woman is not on hormones, and presents as a man in daily life.
In these stories, the shelter expels women who won't share a room or communal shower with the trans woman. They're not sympathetic if the women have PTSD from rape or domestic violence. They're not troubled if the women report sexual harassment from the trans woman. When a trans woman is present, a trans woman is prioritized. Women are strong-armed into silence or thrown out. These shelters are authoritarian towards female people, and protective of male people.
They reflect our society. They're what we should have expected from a policy of gender-based rights over sex-based rights.
Vancouver Rape Relief is the only one to stand for female people, and that's why trans activists nail rats to their door, and write threats on their windows.
male feminists in a nutshell
Reblogging because I was looking for this the other day.
feminists in a nutshell:
we’ll create a safe space for women, but only people who were born women. also only women who agree with us politically.
Nah it’s more like “You can have a safe space for women but you have to let in men who call themselves women on demand or we’ll kick you out.”
i have become increasingly in favor of using the term queer rape culture which i coined as a replacement/expansion for “cotton ceiling rhetoric”. from wikipedia: Rape culture is a sociological concept for a setting in which rape is pervasive and normalized due to societal attitudes about gender and sexuality. Behaviors commonly associated with rape culture include victim blaming, sexual objectification, trivializing rape, denial of widespread rape, refusing to acknowledge the harm caused by some forms of sexual violence, or some combination of these. replace societal with subcultural and you’re good to go.
I love it, let’s all add some specific instances
Queer Rape Culture
Cotton Ceiling Rhetoric: stating overtly that Lesbian panties are a “barrier” that needs to be broken by Biological Males who identify as Trans Women. Parallels the practice of corrective rape.
Redefining Gay, Lesbian, and homosexuality in general to be inclusive of heterosexual romantic and sexual relationships, which leads to…
Returning the belief that Homosexuality (being exclusively attracted to the same sex, not gender roles) is actually a “preference” that can be “unlearned” to accommodate the beliefs* and relationship goals of heterosexual Trans people. Parallels traditionalist conversion talk-therapy and corrective coerced rape.
Trans Women receiving support, praise, and encouragement from the Trans Community when calling for the rape of women who do not share their beliefs.* Parallels the historic tactic of attacking women who do not submit to patriarchal ideals.
Protection, celebration, support and defense of Trans Women who are known rapists (including placing Trans Women Rapists in Women’s prisons and allowing them to be visible icons or leaders in the community). Parallels the historic and modern practice of absolving men of violent sex crimes while belittling victims.
Trans Men (Biological Females) being disproportionately sexually assaulted and raped within the Trans Community. Doesn’t “parallel” anything; it’s just plain misogyny.
*The core belief that is at issue is that biological sex has nothing to do with intercourse, sexuality, sexist oppression, socialization, AND the belief that a person can “change sex,” the belief that sex is a spectrum, or the belief that biological sex isn’t real at all. None of these are empirically supported. This core belief leads to false claims to identity (itself a slippery concept) and intentionally obscured language: such as males to claiming they are females (not scientifically possible), and often that they are Lesbians (appropriation of language), that they “can’t rape women because they are women” (non sequitur).
Please feel free to add some more Queer-Specific Rape Culture

it's always interesting to see how much nature mimicks itself. how much of what we consider nature's beauty looks like the female body, and yet when shown the female body, you're disgusted?
I love nature, and how even if women don't get much representation in the human world, we get plenty from mother nature.
Apparently eli erlick frequents Hella Gay and Uhaul: bay area events marketed to the queer community, especially females. This rapist targets global majority transmen. This information has been known for well over a year in the community. So far the only consequence he has faced was TSER (trans student education resource) had him do a class on consent. That’s it. He still gets to go around the community in spaces filled with those he targets for sexual abuse. This is what happens when white males abuse black/brown females in the queer community. No justice. Silencing survivors who speak up. The community actively supports rapists and abusers.
The Canadian Cancer Society now defines females as “non-trans women”. Linguistically, if you establish something as “non-_____”, you are positioning it as alternative to a norm. Non-white establishes white as the norm. Non-Christian establishes Christian as the norm. Non-trans establishes trans as the norm. This is linguistically to say, quite literally, that trans woman is the normal state of woman, and non-trans is the deviation. We are being fucking erased from our own class, our own medicine, our own rights and language and knowledge and sisterhood, for the sake of male fucking feelings.
Canada will see the end times first before America, istg.
so this is dangerous
Gotta put men first, even in women’s health.
So this actually comes from a section of their website aimed specifically at trans women.
The general cervical cancer page doesn’t mention trans people at all and simply says, “The cervix is part of a woman’s reproductive system.”
That… makes it even more bizarre. They have a section on the transwoman-specific page that gives a detailed explanation of cervical cancer? When all they had to say is “you don’t have a cervix so you won’t get cervical cancer”? Why?
I guess to get them in for appointments?
They try to be trans inclusive and then say cervix is part of a woman’s reproductive system. No asterisks for trans men or afab nonbinary people who have a cervix. Makes no sense unless it was mentioned in a section not on these screenshots. If they wanted a simple blanket term dfab or even female would have been more accurate because their language ended up not being inclusive of different gender ids anyway and now it doesn’t even include all relevant groups, assuming said organization believes gender id needs to be mentioned and not sex.
They don’t care about TIFs or NIFs because they don’t care about women.
