Out of all the things for TERFS to go after, is the fact that I'm an evolutionary biologist. It's fucking bizarre.

I have my degree in evolutionary biology. I've been interested in the sciences since I was young. I was a part (and still am a part) of the Audubon Society, Herpetology Society, Science Olympiad and regular volunteer at our state-run science museum. I wanted to be a paleontologist for most of my life and that shifted to ornithologist in high school. I narrowed that in on my own in uni to birds and their relatives along with snakes (because I love snakes).

I took anthropology, archaeology, chemistry, and other classes as part of my degree and out of my own curiosity. My anthropology class is most noticeable. I think it would be fair to say I would have been considered a TERF or close to one in high school. This one class though forced me to look all those beliefs I had in the face.

That anthropology class is where I first learned about gender and class as social constructs. And where I got the first inkling I might not be cis. It forced me to look at cultures outside of what I know.

Then my biology classes forced me to look at how complex, and definitely not binary, sex is. How strange it can be. The many ways nature plays with it. Categories are something that humans made up to try to understand the world. They are breakable, bendable and always always holds exceptions.

And my archaeology classes? Let me just say this. Humans are fucking weird. We're weird. Our evolution is weird.

Altogether though, the more I learned and from reputable sources, the more I learned that TERF ideology is not just wrong, but that it isn't a reasonable viewpoint. It doesn't help us understand our world better. It is not the most predictive value. At all.

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.

In case any of y'all haven't seen this yet, here's the new TERF/White feminist bullshit to watch out for. While this sort of behavior is unsurprising, it's still kinda racist 🙄

real quick I want to say that the obsession terfs & ciswomen transphobes have with biology and equating "female" with "womanhood" shows that they have No connection to their femininity Outside of their bodies and biology. Womanhood is sisterhood, womanhood is having compassion and empathy toward people who are different or less fortunate than you, womanhood means practicing basic respect.

If your only anchor to your feminity is your pussy and tits, you've been successfully indoctrinated by patriarchy, which reduces women to their biology and reproductive capabilities.

the ideas “the stigma against menstruation is rooted in misogyny” and “not all women experience menstruation and not all people who menstruate are women” can coexist, and the same idea applies to most health and body related feminist issues

Image is tweet from @ coribush which reads:

“I testified in front of Congress about nearly losing both of my children during childbirth because doctors didn’t believe my pain.

Republicans got more upset about me using gender-inclusive language in my testimony than my babies nearly dying.

Racism and transphobia in America.”

I’m so tired of Republicans. I’m so tired of their hate and small mindedness and the fact that they complain about all the “liberal snowflakes” who can’t handle anything and bemoan the end of “free speech” because of “cancel culture” but then pull THIS SHIT.
