let the contemporary record show mr beast was pretty ignorable for his whole career if you were just like, busy.

[servin-terf-haha]

or just had like...any interests, personality, or things to fill your mind.

like I had free time a plenty when he was 'big,' still never watched a full video of his and had 0 interest in any of the drama. it's actually so easy to ignore mediocre men, lmao

[florellia]

the thing is even if you send hate and harass a radfem it's not going to change her opinion. ive been a radfem for years and while ive left social media to get away from harassment many times, nobody had actually ever tried to change my mind. nobody tries to have a productive debate or conversation if they disagree, it's always just rape and death threats, harassment, slurs, ad hominem, etc. nobody is convinced to believe your side when you send "ky$ terf." all you're doing is further convincing us that we've understood things correctly and are on the right "side."

[servin-terf-haha]

If anything, your resorting to threats, insults, or non-arguments just makes my point for me. You can't disprove me so you'd rather silence me? Hm, sounds like you can't say I'm wrong so...my point still stands.

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)

DMV area, we’ve got a Facebook group going and we’ve met up occasionally, a good mix of women of different ages which definitely is insightful

@h34t-rises, that’s awesome! I’m also part of a radical feminists’ DMV group. DM me and I can tell you more about it.

#IStandWithJKR is #MeToo2.0

#IStandwithJKR is the new #MeToo. It is the continuation of women speaking up about our distinctly biological female experiences.

I could NOT have said it better. This was so eloquently written.

"When speaking of sex bodies in a practical scientific way, the terms woman/man are biological descriptors. They are NEUTRAL terms that describe the developmental pathway that one’s body has taken ... These terms DESCRIBE. They should not PRESCRIBE."

i know people talk a lot about peaking moments but for me nothing's gonna top multiple instances of men throwing entitlement tantrums because rape crisis centers wouldn't hire them to be around vulnerable women

HRT and porn. It does parallel addiction. Though I can't speak to the specific reference to crack and the black population in the 80s, I do agree that the influence and behaviors surrounding HRT and gender ideology is similar to drug behavior. My disclaimer is that I currently have a sister who fell into prescription addiction (like, heavily, and with over 11 different ones), and I've also done work in prisons. "Euphoria" (such as gender euphoria) has origins in people describing how drugs effected them. People are currently chasing gender euphoria like what similarly happens with drugs. They're chasing the obtaining of external validation through fashion and beauty norms ("gender expression") and pronouns. To me, this type of behavior basically enables the addiction. It's similar to other drug behaviors, in which people who struggle with addiction will unconsciously attempt to seek validation and enablement for their usage or sometimes outright demand it from others.

"Gender euphoria" in male people who identify as trans mimics many sex addictions in that first it begins as a small thing like getting a sexual thrill from wearing women's skirts in private. Eventually this loses it's effect and there's an escalation of behavior, such as now they obtain "gender euphoria" from wearing women's skirts in public or posting images of oneself in them. This loses its effect over time, and then it becomes using bathrooms. Then going on estrogen. And so on.

In other cases though people describe "gender dysphoria" and HRT addiction comes from simply attempting to cope with feelings of distress through altering one's body and obtaining certain "affirming" remarks from people. Similar to people leaning too hard on the benzos to deal with anxiety or a person cutting to alleviate feelings of distress. It should be noted that many people in trans communities grew up as "emo kids" and experienced a wave of self-harm and eating disorder behaviors in middle school.

Finally, both drugs and gender ideology/HRT provide people with a sense of community. Establishing a sense of community in my opinion has become so hard for millenials and younger, partially due to spending more time online (which also impacts social skills and increases anxiety and body image issues) and partially because we were very targeted by media that placed emphasis on individualism and individual expression and much less on family and community. Especially by the fashion industry—most of the commercials intertwine "be you" with clothing and having style. Gender ideology and HRT is an interest shared by the status quo left, and a culture and feeling of community has been created around it.
