It's really easy to argue that sexual orientation is sex based. The argument that it's based on gender expression, will crumble easily once you remove the factors of gendered expression and fashion.

Ask yourself.

If a group of people, divided by their sex, were in a room together. You had the females lined up backs against the left wall, and had the males lined up backs against the right wall. They are a diverse group of different races, ages (from 20 and onward), sizes and facial features. All you can tell from them are what they look like. You do not know their names, "preferred pronouns", behaviour, or what they like to dress in. None of them are wearing makeup. They are all wearing the same outfit. For simplicity's sake let's say a gray long sleeved shirt, and black sweatpants, all unisex clothing, and none of them have shaved their body hair. They have the same haircuts.

Which group would a lesbian be inclined to? If you asked a lesbian to pick a potential partner from one of these groups, which group would she pick from? Now which group would a gay man pick from? What about heterosexual women, heterosexual men? Would a lesbian be okay if you made her pick from the group of people standing against the right wall? How would a straight woman feel if you limited her options to pick from the left wall?

Without gendered expression what left would there be to determine your sexual orientation now? Can you finally admit that sex is a crucial part of sexual orientation now? Or are you just going to keep lying to yourself to feel better.

I spent the whole day away from Instagram and most social medias, to find out now about what happened with Mari Ferrer. I am beyond words, beyond shocked and disgusted. It’s never been so openly vulnerable to be a woman in Brazil, where rape, definitely a CRIME, was not punished being defined as “unintentional”. THERE IS NO SUCH THING. Forget the victim being the only one remembered, here is the thing: André de Camargo Aranha is the rapist. Cláudio Gastão da Rosa Filho, André’s lawyer and the man who continuously humiliated Mari; Thiago Carriço, the worm that claimed “unintentional rape”; and Rudson Marcos, the judge who let everything slide through and absolved André. They are monsters. They all should be punished. This is inhuman.

*By the way, when I say “the victim being the only one remembered”, is because she deserves to be remembered with love, respect and support. Instead, she is stoned, crucified, and made vulnerable to vultures who only seek to destroy her. Let the perpetrators be known, let everyone know who these cowards are!

"real lesbians love men!"

real lesbians (and all kinda of sapphics) love trans women!!!

[jaded-bi]

maybe because women have been silenced forever. people like to act like women don't exist. how does this surprise you

It's 2021 and people are still acting like trans men don't exist

"amab" people can never be lesbians

“But would you still be nonbinary if you were AMAB?”

Yes. And I’d still be a lesbian too. Next question.

Its a privilege to believe women's defense of our spaces is entirely out of believing we're "better" or "superior" as female only spaces are merely the places to keep us safe, not a club where we sit around and talk shit about men. Also it's incredibly manipulative to keep claiming we don't believe in "trans existence". You exist, you're just annoying assholes who want to strip us of the structures that keep us safe, and we therefore want nothing to do with you.

The rage and oversensitivity Cis women project toward their trans sisters, under the guise of trying to "keep m*n out of women's spaces" is born out of Egotism and false superiority. They see themselves as "real" women based on the standards that Men have forced on them under patriarchy, it strokes their underdeveloped ego to be on a pedestal (that Men created) above their trans sisters. They don't want to accept the trans existence because that would mean they would have to accept their own cis privilege.

I swear, if child marriage was legal, liberal feminists would be like “Some little girls CHOOSE to be child brides because they find it EMPOWERING 🥺🥺🥺 Don’t be a child bride exclusionary radical feminist 🥰🥰🥰”

“If a society puts half its children into short skirts and warns them not to move in ways that reveal their panties, while putting the other half into jeans and overalls and encouraging them to climb trees, play ball, and participate in other vigorous outdoor games; if later, during adolescence, the children who have been wearing trousers are urged to “eat like growing boys,” while the children in skirts are warned to watch their weight and not get fat; if the half in jeans runs around in sneakers or boots, while the half in skirts totters about on spike heels, then these two groups of people will be biologically as well as socially different. Their muscles will be different, as will their reflexes, posture, arms, legs and feet, hand-eye coordination, and so on. (…) There is no way to sort the biological and social components that produce these differences. We cannot sort nature from nurture when we confront group differences in societies in which people from different races, classes, and sexes do not have equal access to resources and power, and therefore live in different environments.”
