#yes there are XY cis women

[existennialmemes]

If you're visiting family for Easter, and they won't respect your gender, remind them that Jesus's chromosomes are canonically XX, as he inherited all of his human DNA from Mary.

Unless of course they think that Mary was actually a child-bearing XY cis woman, which is also a delightful and realistic possibility. So either Jesus is Trans or Mary is Intersex.

Or it could also be both!

Happy Easter Day of Trans Visibility!

u do know cis women can be born with xy chromosomes. and yes, they will be assigned female at birth. also cis men can have xxy(yes, xxy) chromosomes and assigned male at birth? anyways, trans women are women,and u just want an excuse to hate minorities.

XXY males are just fully male. They don’t even have ambiguous genitals. From a cursory internet search

As for XY women, that is CAIS or Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome. Wherein the cells don’t respond to masculinizing hormones during fetal development. Babies born with CAIS have a female phenotype but a male karyotype. CAIS is therefore typically discovered during puberty when the body doesn’t begin to menstruate or go through other expected stages of sexual development. This is because there is no uterus, a shallow vaginal canal, and undescended testes rather than ovaries. They are of course infertile.

Because women with CAIS have a female phenotype body they are usually raised as girls. It is phenotype that determines how we are classed as male or female and therefore I would posit that people with CAIS are female. Some may disagree and indeed as far as science is concerned this is a male disorder of sexual development.

Now here’s the part that really matters:

99.99% of all human beings have a phenotype that matches their karyotype. The vast VAST majority of trans people have an unambiguous sex.

CAIS cases result in a vulva and vagina, not some third thing.

There is no third gamete in human beings. Genitals that are ambiguous at birth still belong to either a male or female body.

Intersex conditions are not evidence of a third sex, nor do they disprove the gender binary. For the same reason a baby born without kidneys doesn’t “disprove” that humans are meant to have two. Because inevitably intersex conditions do not result in a fully functional body. Besides infertility, many intersex conditions come with other health issues ranging from things like endocrine disorders to intellectual disabilities.

Stop using people’s medical conditions as gotchas when 99.9% of trans people are perrisex.

Edited because I was unaware of XX men (caused by a very interesting case of the X chromosome inherited from the father absorbing enough of the Y to transfer the SRY gene)

Hi there, hope all’s well! 🌷

I just came across your post about the emotional starvation of (cis) boys (excellent visualization of what the majority of boys/men go through from the get go).

In my day to day life I offer services and rituals to celebrate and honor women in ways that the world often has not; and I work to be all inclusive (nb, trans, and whatever might fall in between or outside of that). This work uses, showcases, AND teaches this feeling of sorority/sisterhood/community safety.

In order to balance out towards the other side—because I have been saying this same thing about boys and men missing this vital bit of living, and therefor perpetuating the rift between men and women whether they want to or not— I’ve started apprenticing as a barber. This seems to me to be one of the “softest” self care rituals men indulge in.

Would you say, in your experience, that this type of self care and perhaps the celebration/ritualization of milestones could help boys and men interact in healthier ways with their own masculinity, and the world at large?

I mean…yes and no.

Yes, because rituals and rites are nourishment for the soul, and no, because the kind of approach you're suggesting is designed to address systemic marginalization rather than systemic isolation. The reason why you don't already see cis men seek empowerment in relation to their gender because they don't need to be.

Instead, what they covet is to belong in despite of it.

See, the way we raise boys—and the experiences boys have growing into men—teach and reinforce this specific narrative:

"It doesn't matter who I am as a person, what my personality is like, or how strong of a bond someone forms with me; the moment I'm [too girly / too manly / not manly enough / the wrong kind of man / etc] my belonging is revoked and I'm disowned."

This is a trauma so ubiquitous within our Western society that many of us write it off as a feature of the XY chromosomes as opposed to conditioning. It's as omnipresent to men as objectification is to women, and equally as despised.

The origin of male isolation comes from the same place as everyone else's disenfranchisement: Western Imperialism. Western imperialism teaches us that the way we get anything good in this world is through acts of conquest:

"We become happy by conquering sadness." "We become healthy by conquering our bodies." "We become good people by conquering the parts of us that are bad." "We become good adults by conquering our behavior as children." "We become masculine by conquering effeminacy." "We become cherished and loved by conquering the parts of ourselves that are problematic and detested." Etc.

The only way I was every able to really truly heal my lifelong traumas was by ending the reign of conquest in myself. Conquest is what traumatized me to begin with, so ending conquest is what allowed me to heal.

My guess is that the same logic can be applied on a societal scale. But it would mean changing the way we go about achieving results.

(I also want to point out that cis men actually have tons of rituals and rites of passage in relation to healthy masculinity. They're just covert, and rather than speak to one's sense of agency—which is something cis women and trans* folks desire in relation to their genders—they speak to one's sense of belonging, which is, again, what cis men desire in relation to theirs.)

It's a huge topic. It's taken days for me to even write this reply because there's so much about it I could say. Let me know if you want me to address something specific.

fuck it, im saying it

[pt: fuck it, im saying it /end pt]

okay. i absolutely LOVE the fact that there are a bunch of queer youtubers/ally youtubers talking about queer problems.

its super great, im not against it or anything.

but just the amount of intersex erasure and ignorance just makes me want to stop watching them.

because yes, children ARE getting non consensual genital mutilation. because yes, there ARE cis men with xx chromosomes and cis women with xy chromosomes. because no, intersex people arent just an argument for when trans issues come into play.

and yes, i know they dont mean to be intersexist or anything, but come on. stop ignoring intersex people and their issues.

[originalitysquared]

hey whats up im just gonna ask outright because i dont particularly have the capacity to dance around things.

simply, why is it that you believe that trans women are not women? can you give a reasonable explanation as to why you think sex isnt a biological cluster of properties that includes cis and trans women? if, for example, you think that gender is dictated solely by genitalia, or social conditioning, or chromosomal sex, why is it reasonable to assume the other properties must align as they would with many (but not all) cis people? would you exclude intersex people from the gender binary (specifically, in a way that would deem them as socially inferior for being neither)?

im not asking for a dissertation on this matter; i merely think that trans people are valid and you clearly do not to some extent and i want to understand why you seem so adamant on something that, scientifically speaking, is inaccurate

Hey so this took me like ... weeks because I wanted to actually be serious and write something thoughtful and it took me this long to actually focus so hi.

"why is it that you believe that trans women are not women?" because they are born men. Does that mean they can't act in a feminine manner? no. Gender is a social construct and you can look or act however you want. All born women act differently and dress differently. Some women don't wear makeup or dress femininely at all, does that mean they must not be women? no. The only thing that all born women can say we have in common is that we are born women. I say "born women" because some will ask "does this mean women who are born without the ability to conceive or without all of her reproductive organs are not women?" No. Women without the ability to conceive are still born women.

"give a reasonable explanation as to why you think sex isn't a biological cluster of properties that includes cis and trans women?"

What do you mean by biological cluster? Like, taking that word by word, it sounds like a weird tumor somewhere in your body. Sex is a biological reality. it is XX and XY and all the DSDs in-between. (we will continue the intersex convo in a sec). some Cis and Trans women may have properties in common like long hair or makeup or clothes or hobbies. But these traits do not encompass all women nor all trans women nor all people at all. Your sex is a biological classification. Human bodies are either male or female. People with Disordered Sex Development (DSDs, aka Intersex people) are female or male bodied people with medical conditions. They are not excluded or othered from sex, they literally have a medical condition that makes their experience different. Depending on their chromosomes they can have any number of symptoms and side effects. I am not intersex but can probably find some resources if you were interested in learning more about intersex people. They are not just some gotcha to an argument. They are people that are often genitally mutilated at birth and lied to. "But they are assumed a gender at birth!" yes. and not their sex. which was hard to determine because they had a sexual development disorder. Their sex never changed despite the genital mutilation. They are not suddenly able to have children and often still have symptoms associated with the abnormal development. DSDs prove how immutable sex is.

I think trans people exist. But not to the degree that we are seeing so many people claim to be trans. Transgenderism is severe body and genital dysphoria that can only be remedied by medical intervention. Furthermore, I am not denying these people's existence by saying they are born a specific sex and are transitioning. That is literally what "trans" means. If they were born a woman and said they were a woman, they would just be cis.

Also the audacity to come over, demand an answer from me but also "You aren't looking for a dissertation". Lmfaoooo, what a stuck up loser.

[happysadyoyo]

Radfems don't want trans people to die...they just want to keep biological males out of female spaces. And for there to be more awareness, treatment options, and support for women and girls who are dysphoric/detransitioned. Body mutilation and cross sex hormones are not the only ways to treat gender dysphoria. Women are not your enemy. But, I think you know that because deep down you are still one.

Bold to come to me on a day where I'm already in a sour mood.

First and foremost what is a biological male? How can you just look at someone and know "oh yes, that person has XY chromosomes, secondary sex characteristics consistent with higher androgen levels, small gametes, "male" external genitalia, etc?"

I'll give you a clue: you can't. Because cis women have been attacked in their own bathrooms. Because a trans dude got attacked in the bathroom that matches his "biological sex". Or, what's funniest to me, when people post pictures of cis women actors as bait to make radfems look the fool.

Also what is a "biological woman?" Where do we draw that line? Cause we've seen cis black women get taken out of sports due to androgen screening -- you know, to try and keep "biological males" out of women's sports. Which I still call bs cause like. Olympic level athletes have very specific mutations that make them good at their sport, be it producing less lactic acid or lungs that are abnormally big.

Are we gonna judge by one's ability to carry a fetus? Well no, of course not. Because then you're claiming infertile people, people who have had hysterectomies, or people post-menopause aren't women.

And did you know there are as many intersex folks as there are redheads in the world? But a lot of those people don't even realize it because it's to do with their hormones or chromosomes, not something super obvious unless they've been tested specifically for it. So should we start doing chromosome checks to screen for people who aren't "biological women".

But no, we know what you're talking about. It's about looking between a baby's legs and that gender marker on their birth certificate. Well, there are intersex and even cis babies that get forcibly assigned female. David Reimer, I'm so sorry I keep dragging you into this. I swear I'm going to summon him and be haunted at some point. But he's proof the little f on your records is bullshit.

Okay, well what about being socialized as a girl growing up? Putting aside the fact that socialization is ultimately a very individual thing where not all women will experience the same stereotypical "female" experiences (hi it's me. I've never in my life been sexually harassed and I didn't realize I'm trans until I was 19) -- well, how do you argue against trans women who realized and started to transition when they were very young?

So pray tell, what is a "biological male" anon? Genuinely tell me because I don't know. And how do you plan to weed them out without hurting women in the process?

Now for the next bit of bs. God I love to see a radfem hiding behind detransitioned trans folks like it's some sort of gotcha.

First, a link so you know I'm not talking out of my ass:

https://www.gendergp.com/detransition-facts/

Now, let's talk. People who detransition? Are a very, very, very small minority of people in the world. We're talking about a tiny fraction of a sma but not insignificant fraction of the world population. The biggest study done to date said 8% of 28000 people (so less than 2500 folks) experienced some kind of detransition. Important words there: some kind. Maybe it was a total detransition, maybe not. Now, out of those 2500 folks, 62% were only detransitioning due to outside pressures -- family, finances, what have you. They didn't want to detransition. They just didn't have a choice. That leaves about 1000 folks who realized they weren't trans after all. That's such a small amount of people, and without us even going into where they were at in transitioning when they desisted. How many of them were socially transitioning, medically? How many had surgery? I don't know cause I'm not looking that deep atm.

And here's the thing about hormones and surgery. Little kids? They don't get access to it. Young teens? Generally told to wait and work through it, maybe with the help of puberty blockers to give them time to think and process. Puberty blockers that, btw, have been used on cis kids for ages now.

Older teens may get access to hormones if they have super supportive parents, which come on. We know that's a minority. Like, let's be realistic here. Trans people as a whole aren't so accepted to get access to medical transitioning without a ton of hoops to go through. And surgery? Ha, if you think teenage girls are just gonna be able to lop their breasts off with any sort of ease, what Kool aid have you been drinking? Seriously I want some. We are talking about a medical institution that won't let full grown women get their tubes tied until they're married, have kids, and get their husband's permission.

And is there sometimes regret with shit like top surgery? Yeah, there is. Sometimes it has to do with a lack of knowledge, like that a quarterish of top surgeries need some sort of revision to really make someone feel right. I learned that literally yesterday. Sometimes it's just regret.

But by the time most people are old enough to get top surgery they're adults. And I think we can allow adults to make their own decisions. Plus, so what if a woman has no tits? There's plenty of women who lose them due to shit like breast cancer. Insinuating that mastectomy is mutilation without actually talking to someone who calls it that for themselves is gross.

And finally. I'm not a woman. Fuck you and the duck you waddled in on.

[elfowl-42]

Just accidentally reblogged a "Gender critical" "radfem" post about "Why can't pro-trans people define "what is a woman" without being sexist, why it is so hard to say 'adult human female'." Because I genuinely thought it was a pro-trans take, and had to re-read it, to get what they were actually trying to say. Because yes, to me I am female, I am a woman. I would say that I fit the definition "Adult human female." We disagree so fully on the definitions of words that we would say the exact same things and mean something completely different.

I do not understand what is sexist about saying "A woman is someone who identifies as a woman" It is literally treating all biological sexes the same. It's more inclusive since it includes intersex people. Do they think it's sexist because I'm saying "Anyone can be a woman but only biological males can be men"? Because I don't think that. My definition of a man is "Someone who identifies as a man."

There are women born with penises, and I'm not even talking about people with XY chromosomes who transition, I'm talking about people with XX chromosomes, who have both the phenotype and genotype to look perfectly female, but for whatever reason they have a penis instead of a vagina. They grow up being seen as a girl, facing the same misogyny and social pressures as any other AFAB person in our society. Why would anyone tell them that they aren't a woman that their experience is invalid, that they don't belong to this group, because of a few cubic inches of flesh?

This same person was claiming that the term "Lesbian" is being destroyed by people claiming that lesbians can like people with penises. As far as I know, lesbian is defined as "A woman who is sexually attracted to other women." If the woman from the example above is sexually attracted to women, why would you try to exclude her from the spaces designed to protect and nurture people like her? Do you think she should be forced into male exclusive spaces? Do you really want to throw intersex people under the bus, just to be able to exclude trans women because they haven't been seen as women their whole lives?

I know that I have benefitted from male privilege for most of my life, and still do whenever I decide to go out en masc, since I pass as cis. I mostly likely still benefit from it somewhat when I go out en fem, since I don't pass as female yet. I'm trying my best to stop benefitting from that privilege whenever it is safe to do so. (I'll readily admit to trying to hold onto it when it comes to situations where it's a matter of safety. I hope you won't begrudge me that, I understand if you do, but that does make you an asshole. I wish I could give you that same safety) And it is my responsibility to support the voices of my sisters when I can on issues that don't affect me. To not talk over them, and to raise up their views and voices on abortion, mensuration and mensural products, birth control, the wage gap, and women's rights.

Please don't misconstrue this as me saying "I'm a woman so all lesbians have to be attracted to me." because they don't. Everyone is allowed to not be attracted to other people for any reason. It's not something we can control (or do you say that sexual attraction is a choice now?) If you're not attracted to penises specifically, that's fine, if you're not attracted to me specifically, that's fine. If you're not attracted to trans people specifically, I'd ask you to make sure it's not because of a misconception of us as a threat, or any less of our gender than cis people, but if not, that's perfectly fine. But womanhood is not defined solely by biology. No one is not a lesbian because they're attracted to me, and I'm not not a lesbian because of how I was born. Or do you really want to go back to the misogynistic idea that all a woman is is a vagina, a womb, and a pair of tits?

I really don’t like the terms TME vs TMA because they’re reductive as hell and don’t take into account the complexity of oppression in real life and beyond that it’s a false dichotomy that fails to account for intersex people (because let’s face it, it’s afab and amab as synonyms for sex repackaged).

For example, I have XY chromosomes but was assigned female, raised as a girl and am phenotypically female. I’m not always a woman, but that’s besides the point here. I’m not open about my genderfluidity right now irl. But I’ve been told (online, because of this exact sort of thing I’m not open about being intersex in real life) that because of my intersex condition, because of my Y chromosome, I’ll never be a woman, that Im a deformed, deluded man who will never be a ‘real woman’. Keep in mind: CAIS, my intersex variation, means that my phenotype (my external sex traits) are and have always been unambiguously female. If I identified fully as a woman, I’d be cis. Most people with CAIS are cis women (being cis and being intersex are not mutually exclusive by the way just like being trans and intersex). By shitty transphobic logic, that should matter, right?

But a lot of the insults and the things I’ve faced when being open about being intersex are the same things hurled at trans women, like implying we’re dirty and delusional for being women with a Y chromosome. We’re often equated with trans women, even though many of us are cis. And yes, it is intersexism because I face this because I’m intersex. But how can people say that somehow I’m exempt from transmisogyny when I face discrimination that is directed at trans women because I’ve been grouped with them? Call it misdirected all you want, but if someone, even someone cis, is facing transmisogyny as a result of being grouped with trans women, and as a facet of intersexism, they’re still affected by it. We’re still affected by it. This sort of oppression can be considered as transmisogyny as a facet of intersexism.

And even cis perisex women can be affected by this. There’s so many stories of gender non conforming cis perisex women being harassed on the assumption that they are trans women. Again, call it misdirected all you want, but these women are facing transmisogyny as a result of being grouped in with trans women. It doesn’t matter if they’re actually trans, because they’re being harassed on the assumption that they are. How people could call others who are discriminated against on the assumption that we’re trans women or trans woman equivalent exempt from the discrimination we’re facing is beyond me.

hey, not sure if you’re particularly interested, but as someone with a philosophy degree and a concentration in language i kind of wanted to share my thoughts! language is a social construct, yes. so, that means the language and words we use to that which we refer is a construct (or, as i would often say to the dismay of my classmates, fake). but very often that which we refer to is not a construct. so while the literal labels of male or female might be a construct, the physical traits or characteristics they refer to are not. so like, it would be the case that if at the beginning of the time we settled on what is colloquially known as male and female (not the context of sex not gender) were swapped and male instead referred to those with XX and female as XY, the physical characteristics and all behaviors hormones etc etc of XX/XY dont change, it’s the label that does. this is to say: language is always a social construct, but the same cannot always be said about the things language refers to or symbolizes.

Absolutely! That’s kinda what I was getting at. That said, there’s something to be said with the fact that biology is extremely wibbly and not typically consistent & there are many many many cases of people going their whole lives under the impression they’re one sex only to find out they’re technically not when they’re like, in their 60s facing a medical issue. Meaning: ultimately the criteria for being male and female are arbitrary.

We decided that a certain set of secondary sex characteristics are what determines sex, arbitrarily. The fact that “body hair, facial hair, an adams apple, deep voice, larger muscle mass on average, and taller on average” are male characteristics is ultimately arbitrary. There are cis women who fall under all those categories, but are not “male.” The fact that “breasts, wide hips, no facial hair, and body hair only being prominent in the underarms and pubic area” are female characteristics is ultimately arbitrary. There are cis men who fall under those categories, but are not “female.”

There’s more variation within a sex than between them. The fact that we decided to divide the population based on grouped sex characteristics and who could and couldn’t carry offspring is arbitrary. We could’ve landed on like, height, or hand size, or something equally as arbitrary. But we didn’t. You know? Obviously that’s unlikely given the biological drive to reproduce, but nonetheless: the categories and how we divide them are social constructs.

Talking to my cousin and I’m like holy shit this really is what some people don’t know about queerness.

They’re really nice but like he just doesn’t know stuff and it’s like yeah you need to hear this from somewhere I’ll do it.

“Are we going to tell children about trans people?”

Yes because gender is confusing and so is life in general, we can help them figure things out and also avoid having kids be picked on for not conforming to arbitrary gender roles by showing how there’s no one correct way to perform gender.

“What about trans healthcare?”

No child is getting surgery. Puberty blockers were made originally for people going through puberty too early. Why can’t trans kids have access to it? Hormone therapy exists for cis people, why can’t it for trans people?

“But being gay isn’t evolutionary viable?”

Well many animals have shown homosexual tendencies, penguins for example will form bonded pairs to raise chicks that have lost their first parents. The world won’t only consist of gay people and social darwinism is not science. Survival of the fittest creates things that work, not the best organism. That’s why ecosystems are fragile. Therefore we cannot use that idea to create a better society because what’s actually happening is destroying a delicate ecosystem of social structures.

“But it’s scientific for xx to be women and xy to be male”

The labelled terms for sex is a social construct. Sociologists have thought this for years. Gender roles based off of sex is also a social construct and differs across the world, anthropologists have thought this for years. Also intersex people exist, sex is on a spectrum just like gender. We can change the social construct of gender by changing “woman” to person with two X chromosomes and “man” to person with xy chromosomes. I don’t know if we will but if enough people agreed on it, over time it would be changed. There are biological differences between people with xx and xy chromosomes but we don’t need to essentialize all the time.

These questions sound harmful or hurtful but my cousin was ignorant, not hateful. People need to learn these things and I’m privileged enough to have these conversations without it triggering painful emotions for me. I’m not advocating that all marginalized people become educators for ignorant people but also, sometimes the “Google is free” response just sends people down the wrong path.

Also free speech protects you from getting arrested by the government, not from social networks. When universities have hateful people spreading harmful ideologies, people are going to get upset. You can have them on to spread their opinions but you can’t do that while claiming to be an accepting person because you’re actively bringing people who want a group of people gone/reformed. Queer people don’t want everyone to be queer if they don’t want to, they just want the freedom of people to explore their gender and sexuality. Homophobes and transphobes want queer people eradicated through violence or silence.

I don’t care if we take steps back, queer knowledge will prevail through the generations because people will continue to love and change.

i saw a post of yours reblogged onto my dash, and i was wondering if you could please answer the following questions?

do you think lesbians are bigots if they exclude everyone amab from their dating pools, community spaces, and bars, etc? yes or no?

do you agree that there is no such thing as true homosexuality (e.g. xx solely attracted to xx, unable to feel attraction to anyone xy), and that lesbians just haven't found the right amab person yet? yes or no?

should a lesbian who publicly states that she excludes all amab people from her dating pool lose her job or have to pay a fine? yes or no?

if you said no to any of the above questions, then you believe that women and trans women are completely different things and as such you are a transphobe. if you said yes to any of the above questions, then you believe amab people have the right to sex from afab people, and you are a rape apologist and conversion therapy supporter.

which is it?

yawwnn

1. yes

2. no

3. no

trans women are women dumbass

homosexuality just means you like the same gender. a cis man dating a trans man is still gay. a cis woman dating a trans woman is still gay.

nobody gets fined for not dating someone. pick up a book.

[invisiblemelonmoose]

"Sometimes cis men like makeup and that's okay. Sometimes trans girls are tomboys" there is no such thing as cis or trans. Yes men can like make up but a "trans tomboy uwu" is just a man. There is no "binary or nonbinary" there are just men and women who can like different fashion

Bro, I don't know why, of all people, I am the one you are coming to about this, but whatever, okay.

Gender and sex are not the same thing. Gender is mental and sex is physical. There is a binary to human sexes, females and males, usually determined by their sex gamete of XX and XY. Intersex is having gamete other than the former two which are mutations. Not good or bad, just something that occasionally happens naturally like being born with six fingers.

Gender identity is related to one’s sex, which is why it often, but not always, aligns with one’s sex. Gender is generally charged with societal views and roles and ideas of femininity and masculinity. Some people identity with the one they were given at birth, some aren't. Different societies have different views of gender and one can identify with one, neither, or both hence nonbinary. Gender is “made up” in the same way language and currency are, doesn't mean they have no value and aren’t “real”. People have not identified with their gender for millennia before we had the English terminology for being “trans”. There have been females who identified as men and males who identify as women long before modern gender politics have existed. Check out the sources on the Wikipedia article on Trans History and validate its sources yourself if you like.

But your statement does ring true: the clothes one wears ≠ one's gender because yes, men who like makeup are still men and women who are tomboy are still women and transmen and transwomen are still men and women. I think there are people with excessively extreme beliefs about gender, but they exist on both sides of the political horseshoe. I don’t think children should be allowed to have hormone therapy for the express purpose of gender identity, but I see no issue with them wanting to be called different pronouns or wearing what they want because why not?

Personally (and as a Catholic), I think all gender is pointless and one’s sex should only be important to one’s healthcare specialists and romantic/sexual partners, but I don’t really care if other people have more investment and interest in gender. If analyzing and understand one’s gender and one’s societal place within (or without) makes one feel more comfortable with one’s self, good for them. It’s always good and healthy to question one’s own beliefs about oneself and come to a real understand.

TL;DR: “Man” and “Women” are gender not sex. Stop conflating the two. Leave me out of your transphobic nonsense, please and thank you.

CN TERFs, radfems, transmisia, genitals, sex

What I find so sad about rafems is the fact that they actually have a point, but then ... decent into TERF-dom. Because yes, feminism has to be radical, is has to be loud and aggressive to give a voice to the marginalized people around the globe. We need a loud, unmistakable feminism. But we need it in the form of intersectional feminism and not whatever shit radfems are doing.

I make a bold assumption: Most radfems are white cis women, and those are among the most privileged people, literally ony surpassed by white cis men. You have to understand that privilege is not a binary, you are not either privileged or marginalized. Reality is that you can be privileged in one aspect (i.e. skin colour) and marginalized in another (i.e. gender) and everything in between.

Trans women are women but at the same time get denied privileges cis women have precisely because of TERFs. They demonise trans women, frame them as predators and stealing rooms for women. But where do belong trans women then if not into rooms meant for women?* TERFs claim, that every man now can clam he’s a women and invade saferooms for women, while at the same time ignore statistics that proof that trans women are also vicitms of male violence as other groups. And who says cis women can’t be perpetrators themselves? Women are not inherently less violent than men, two X chromosomes doesn’t make you magically a peaceful creature.

And then there are all the other genderqueer people out there who also get ridiculed by TERFs. I got called ugly simply because I’m nonbinary. I got called woman, after I said I’m nb, which is as violent as being slapped in the face. Assholes insisted that I’m mentally ill (nicely said, they used different words) because I use neo pronouns. Some people even got as far as saying that no one wants to see my mico penis and that was the point where I simply laughed out loud. Because c’mon, how lost do you have to be to put that in my mentions simply because I have neo pronouns in my bio???

TERFs are obsessed with genitals, but claim that trans people are perpetrators violating safe rooms. Who is the creep here? Not me, that’s for sure.

TERFs shout out that no one want to sleep with trans people because *insert a lot of nasty shit here*, but it has never occured to them, that trans people also don’t want to sleep with them simply because they are very nasty persons. I at least would never sleep with a person I detest. Would you?

TERFs ignore science. TERFs ignore that it’s long prooved that there aren’t only XX and XY chromosomes. TERFs ignore anything that doesn’t fit in their narrow world view and demonise it without being provoced. Some people simply want to exist and they attack them for simply existing. Isn’t that utterly disgusting?

TL;DR: Radical feminism isn’t per se bad, because we need loud feminism. But we need it in the form of intersectional feminism. But then TERFs happened and ruined everything.

*And where belong other genderqueer people? My German bubble therefore uses FLINTA for safe rooms of any kind. F(Frauen, women), L(esbians), I(nter), N(onbinary), T(rans), A(gender). I haven’t seen a similar acronym in English speaking corners.

23andMe has created a transphobic experience in their site and business.

I'll also outright call 23andMe a transphobic company, honestly, but I'd like to highlight what is actually so transphobic about them.

Look, I get it, you want me to disclose my "sex" when I register my sample so that you can match up something in your lab.

NOT SURE how you think that there's only two sexes to pick from here, since intersex is a distinct genetic possibility and non-XX/XY chromosomes are possible, and most people don't know their chromosomes for sure because it's rare to be tested.

BUT SURE, you need my sex labeled on the tube that contains my spit, and you SWEAR the lab will only know my sex, date of birth, and not my name! Ok cool but aren't they gonna know my sex from... IDK... my DNA???????

But hey sure, you NEED this info. Daddy needs this. Whatever, here you go. Now, why is it that immediately after that, you then put that information EVERYWHERE? When I look at my profile why does it say my proper name but then underneath it my improper "sex"? Why is this the ONLY information there and why are you displaying it all the time? There are many, many profile interfaces across the internet that control the display of profile information, and it's not like I don't know what I think my own "sex" is.

Of course, I'm NOT SURE what 23andMe thinks "sex" is, quite honestly, since "sex" is a bit more than what your junk is, and there's more than just two configurations for junks. What information are they really asking for here? Why am I the one categorizing myself into their cryptic binary system?

Hey, you know what you'll want to do, as a trans person, after going through that? Answer an intense cissexist medical survey about every ailment you could possibly have, with no progress indicator, save button, or "exit" option. Why would you do this, you ask? Because 23andMe asks if you'd like to "participate in genetic research" and if you say yes, it dumps you into this survey which says it will take "a few minutes" to complete. Yeah, enjoy pages and pages and pages. It was over a hundred questions before I finally gave up. The survey is out of date when it comes to DSM/diagnosis stuff, giving options like "aspergers" that are no longer diagnoses in modern medicine.

Oh yes, and because it requires you to divulge your "sex" (aka forced-binary junk-at-birth) before you can do anything of substance with the site, it makes sure you answer every pregnancy question that could possibly be asked if it detects you've got that XX action. But it will ALSO ask you if you've had a prostate exam. Which I guess is less cissexist but also probably just bad programming. Do sterile cis women get tired of the constant questions about wombs and their occupancy too? I'm so tired of these companies full of strangers assuming I want to go through this shit.

Wanna register your sample when you mail it? You need to "sign" (click yes) nine different disclosures, and each one of them will confirm your name, date of birth, and "sex" at the bottom before you can go forward. None of them allow you to change this information separately--all of it draws from the one place on the site you can edit this info, your profile. But you must confirm it over and over again.

Because 23andMe is a transphobic, cissexist, misogynist company, and if they didn't have basically a monopoly on the consumer-level genetic info game, I would have left the site and requested a refund a long time ago. But as far as I know, for me, they're the only game in town, and I need my genetic info. It's MY GENES. That gets me the most. This is my own data, I should have more ownership of this experience.

it’s honestly so funny to me when like. terfs and/or radfems try to claim afab trans people are only trans because patriarchy or whatever makes them “hate being feminine/hate their womanhood” like. bro idk how to tell you, not only do i love being feminine as an effeminate gay man (yknow, the thing a lot of gay cis men are also punished under the patriarchy for because the patriarchy simply views all femininity as bad no matter who is doing it, yes, that includes those “xy males” you keep going on and on about who don’t perform masculinity the way the patriarchy demands it be performed), i also do not hate “my” womanhood because it never existed? i can’t hate being a woman if i never was one and am not one???

even when i thought i was cis that was literally only because i didn’t know there was any other way to identify like. when i thought i was straight, i wasn’t doing it because i really was, it was because firstly i hadn’t realized even yet i was a non-binary man and very much not a woman (in fact i at first thought i was a lesbian! turns out i wasn’t attracted to the women, it was actually specifically masculinity in those women, not even the women themselves), and secondly because i simply hadn’t heard the other terms yet! it wasn’t even that my family wasn’t accepting i just didn’t know any other words because uh yknow that’s. how life works. you don’t know things, and then you learn them, and now you know them! wow! K-12 educations system basics summed up in a single sentence!

i wasn’t brainwashed or convinced by some nonexistant transgender genderist cult or whatever buzzword terfs and/or radfems are using for today’s news cycle. i literally had not met a single trans person in my life when i started identifying as trans! not in real life and not online either! it was a cis person actually who told me, upon hearing what i was feeling and had been feeling for as long as i could remember, that “hey you might wanna look up transgender resources” and i did it on my own!

oh, and guess what? at no point did me being trans, on its own, cause me suffering. i was dysphoric at one point because i had pre menstrual dysphoric disorder, which can affect cis women as well as anyone who is not a cis woman who also menstruates and has that disorder, but once i got the right combination of meds and such, my dysphoria lessened and eventually disappeared, and i don’t have it anymore. (i was on birth control for several years of the hormonal type but i’m not anymore, but even now i still don’t have PMDD symptoms and haven’t in like seven or eight years at least, my periods are also not as bad, but i’m also on like different meds in general from then so maybe some of it is that too idk really but i just don’t have it anymore)

i don’t want to “mutilate” myself or anything, i literally don’t want any surgery at all lmao. aside from general fear of surgery, i like my boobs, they’re fine and not that big a deal and honestly fun to play with too, i don’t want to “chop them off” or w/e, i don’t want a penis, i like the vagina i have, it works just fine and if it ain’t broke don’t fix it lmao, and a penis doesn’t make me any more of a man than your vagina makes you a woman (that is to say, penises don’t make men men and vaginas don’t make women women, no matter what your middle school biology textbook told you). all i really want is testosterone to achieve like... the standard of passing i wanna have, so that if i meet someone new, they won’t automatically assume i’m a woman without asking me and misgender me, which does actually bother me, because it’s disrespectful, not because of anything else. i don’t care about like, forcing anyone to accept me, idgaf if you accept me! you can use my name and correct pronouns without giving a single damn shit about me! it’s about basic human decency and respect and treating each other like human beings because that’s what we are unless yall wanna start claiming trans people aren’t human beings now which. man if you do that i can’t help you anymore LMAO so

#terf #terfs #terf safe #terfs please touch #terfs please interact #radfem #radfems #radfem safe #radfems please interact #radfems please touch #transphobia #transgender #me #my voice #honestly i almost want to see if any radfems or terfs do find this #what their reaction is #im not gonna humor them with a response ofc #theyll still be blocked #but i'm interested to see what they'll resort to #when they realize their usual talking points don't apply to me
