"you're more likely to be attacked by a cis woman than a trans woman"

no. you're more likely to be attacked by a ADULT HUMAN MALE than an adult human female regardless of your sex.

the amount of obfuscation explains so much about this misogynistic, homophobic movement that is trans rights activism.

the “block op they’re a terf” movement was so thorough that now none of the libfems have any idea what radical feminism is about. I just saw a post saying that we enforce rigid gender roles and most of us are white like…not only are there a LOT of radfems of color (including myself), our whole thing is abolishing gender while acknowledging sex based oppression

[theradicalwitch]

they can’t dismantle radical feminism with legit criticism so they have to rely on silencing/avoiding/misrepresenting our arguments.

[androc1dal]

imagine being so gullible that you can’t even fathom listening to / debunking an argument you disagree with. it’s honestly pathetic.

[fuckcrumpets]

It's a shame your a terf. You'd be so much cooler if you were a cute lil enby like me, you could be spending your time getting kisses and cuddles and headpats from other enbies, and resisting capitalism, and sacrificing to ancient gods, and covering your body in cool tattoos and piercings, and maybe getting top surgery or nullification, and never having what society considers a real job. Instead you're stuck living the miserable life of a conformist, becoming angry at those more free then you are.

“It’s a shame [you’re] a [woman]. You’d be so much [more palatable] if you were [to assume a performative, trend-driven identity] like me, you could be spending your time [seeking validation] from [others], and [prioritising superficial aesthetics over meaningful action], and maybe [undergoing unnecessary, invasive medical procedures to disassociate from the reality of being female], and never having [financial independence]. Instead you’re stuck living the miserable life of [an adult], becoming angry at those [who choose to live in fantasy].”

When one woman puts her experiences into words, another woman who has kept silent, afraid of what others will think, can find validation. And when the second woman says aloud, ‘yes, that was my experience too,’ the first woman loses some of her fear.

And this is exactly why men will do anything to stop us from being able to speak, to silence us, to prevent us from using accurate language, to make sure we're never alone together as women, that we're never talking to another woman unsupervised without a male there to watch over us and make sure we're not 'misbehaving'

[thentheysaidburnher]

We have been saying ME TOO all through our history.

[notable-spinster]

I think it’s important to be adamant about the fact that there’s no such thing as a TERF. There is no terf community, terf ideology, etc. Like “feminazi”, it’s a label you put on someone to discredit them.

[thesinisterspinster]

Terf is yet another derogitory term for feminisim. What exactly has attacking feminist gotten anyone? Oh right the roll back of womens rights.

A woman: So I recently developed ovarian cancer & I could sure use someone to talk to about it

Trancels on Tumblr: Um this is kinda problematic sweetie. Trans women dont have ovaries & ur sure being cissexist when u bring them up. Bringing up the cancer u have in an organ that’s exclusive to females is transphobic & by trying to discuss a womens’ issue youre basically saying you want all trans women to DIE, so uh…

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

And for anyone who thinks this is an exaggeration, there was a woman who made uterus art because she had uterine cancer and TRAs were all calling her a TERF.

Woman gets harassed for saying pussy hats should be allowed at the woman’s march

Post about women complaining about period cramps called transphobic

Woman struggles to find spaces where she can talk about how her ED is related to misogyny/being female because that’s transphobic and exclusionary

25/06/2020

Post about periods is labelled as transphobic

Women’s March is being transphobic/trans exclusive for using misogynistic phrases that Trump said because they shouldn’t mention genitals according to this NB male.

Women finds that lots of feminist groups no longer focus on women’s issues

Woman called bigoted for saying that creeps and predators might abuse self-ID

Libfems attack Project ReSET (the feminists who exposed the Nth Room) because their verification process is transphobic

A TIM hijacked a book reading by a Weinstein victim to ask what people were doing for trans women

TIM says that he will always be worse off compared to women because of misgendering

Women finds that TIMs try to one-up/claim that they’re more oppressed than women

Trafficking victim told that she’s lucky to be a woman and that talking about her vagina is triggering to trans women

Vagina based art labelled ‘sexually explicit’ and banned after a complaint from a TIM

Women banned from a subreddit for saying that she doesn’t really like the phrase ‘pregnant people’

Women attacked for making claims that a highly misogynistic TIM was a paedophile and sexual harasser

TIM wishes he could have periods when a woman complains about her bad hers are

[ratically]

Imagine if trans men freaked out every time a guy talked about having prostate cancer lmfao

[addictedtocaring]

If I went through the horror of uterine cancer and a hysterectomy, found a women’s cancer group to talk about that pain, and then was told that it was bigoted and offensive to talk about my female sex organs *including those that were removed due to my cancer* because trans women don’t have them, i might actually start a riot. What the fuck did you think was going to be discussed at a Women’s Cancer Group?

And the stories about sex trafficking victims being told that they were lucky to even *have* vaginas were just as bad if not worse. That is a staggering level of selfishness and lack of compassion.

[tribade-worship]

I’ve been told by transwomen that they were envious I at least “got to be seen as a girl growing up”. That while they were sad I went through bad things I should at least understand they didn’t even have the opportunity to be seen as a girl the way I was.

I was talking about being repeatedly raped by my parents starting in infancy.

[rejoyous]

I’m killing everyone who calls a trans woman dude, you can’t stop it, it’s happening

[evenlesssentimentaltranslator]

men killing people. Groundbreaking

[vintage-bentley]

We’re already seeing signs of this, but I believe the trans movement’s downfall will be that it simply became too confusing and too demanding for anyone except hardcore believers to keep up with, and that this happened far too fast. People are exhausted with the endless demands from the trans community, and with how forceful they are about it. People are confused about the whole thing because it’s built on contradictions, individualism, and sexism. It’s just not something that is sustainable long-term unless you’re fully dedicated to the cause and are able to keep up with how rapidly it changes terminology and moves goalposts.

[uvb76fan]

its interesting how the "what if there was a population genetically engineered to be physically stronger than the rest of us and they believed that made them superior" sci fi plot is essentially men having a nightmare about being put in the same position as women

[medusa-strikes-back]

I am so incredibly sick of this attitude that policies that hurt women are okay because, "It's incredibly rare, it's fine." No.

If ONE woman dies, becomes trapped in an abusive relationship, has to postpone her education, or falls into poverty because she couldn't access an abortion, that's too many.

If ONE woman is killed by her male family members in an honor killing, that's too many.

If ONE little girl is raped and is forced to marry her rapist, that's too many.

If ONE woman is raped or hurt by a trans male in prison, that's too many.

If ONE girl is a victim of FGM, that's too many.

I am not willing to accept ANY number of women as collateral damage. None, zero. And I am incredibly suspicious of people who seem willing to sacrifice women for their agendas.

[anticomphet]

your sex is literally just your body. it is a completely neutral biological characteristic. it says nothing about you. nothing about your personality is incompatible with your body. you can act/dress/behave any way you want regardless of your sex! neither your personality or body need to change!!

baffling how this take has become so demonized

[friendlyfreakazoid]

It’s actually funny as hell that you can successfully ragebait like 99% of the human population just by existing as a woman and not altering your natural body. Like people get SO MAD about a woman having leg hair but like… thats a natural part of all human bodies 😭😭😭 it’s a human trait, it’s part of the package of being a mammal…

[themusicdanceexperience]

Queer theory is so funny to me as African because I'll see all these people in the western countries trying to assign meanings to clothes and to pronouns and to parts of their personalities, they'll believe that changing their clothes or their pronouns or their language or their behavior will exempt them from misogyny. And while I understand that it is a condition of the System to keep us all separated, I can't help but bristle at the racism behind this all.

If any of these liberals had bothered to read, they would know that there exists many many communities indigenous to Africa whose languages don't have gendered pronouns, where clothing rules are different. Where men and women dressed the same, where the rules of nudity are different. Where men are effeminate. And in most, if not all of these communities, misogyny will still be rampant.

My community used to allow female to female marriages but all those women were still circumcised. My language does not have "she" or "he" but that did not save any of us from misogyny. My friend's community doesn't even have gendered slurs and she still had to run away when she was 11 so that she wouldn't be circumcised. There is no solution other than uprooting the whole system. Creating more categories does nothing.
