men are calling adele a terf because she said she was proud to be a woman. to them, only men can be proud to "identity" as a woman and all the rest of us actual women need to shut up and sit quietly in a corner.

Marguerite Stern is a french feminist who started the collage feminicide movement: women who write on street walls about male violence. She started it all by herself one night. She once streamed live as a man was agressively confronting her and it was pretty scary. But she stood her ground and he ended up giving up. This is her:
Tumblr media
behind her is written "she leaves him, he kills her"
Tumblr media
"Julie was killed by her ex on the third of march 2019, she had filed 5 complaints to the police"
Tumblr media
"the 124th femicide victim of the year was your neighbour"
Tumblr media
"femicide: government guilty, justice complicit"
Tumblr media
Of course Marguerite has received a lot of attention from anti-feminists, but the most vicious ones have been trans activists. They hijacked the collage feminicide movement and used Marguerite's technique to advocate violence against women. On the walls, instead of calling out male violence, they wrote "burn terfs at the stake", "genital preference is transphobia", "save a trans kill a terf" and other pornographic and "queer" nonsense, just repeating what americans say basically. Marguerite condemned these actions and has been critical of gender ideology ever since, even giving her support to J.K. Rowling.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After this, she says her life completely changed and she was attacked like she'd never been before. She receives graphic death threats on a regular basis, simply because she does not believe it is possible for a man to be a woman. Trans activists have made fun of her appearance saying she needed "facial feminization surgery", have threatened to kill her family and told her to prepare their funerals, have openly discussed assaulting her by taking notes of which streets she uses etc. I've seen it all with my own two eyes. Exhausted by all of this, Marguerite was recently admitted to a hospital for mental health issues and took a break to recover. 2 days ago she received two graphic death threats, one is a painting that is actually displayed in a gallery, showing Marguerite being decapitated.
I'm making this post in support of Marguerite, I think those who dare to take a stand on behalf of women need to know they aren't alone in this. I also want to remind everyone once again that currently the most vehement anti-feminists in the west are not our typical MRAs, but the proponents of gender ideology.
Tumblr media
"My life is really hard. But I wouldn't change it for the world. Because I offered myself the greatest of luxury: expressing my ideas freely and being perfectly at ease with my morals."
Tumblr media
"to the women fighting"
You can support her through her patreon or simply send her a nice message on twitter, instagram or facebook.

I can’t take credit for this! Found on r/GenderCritical posted by PeakedByTransPeriods (LOL love the name) The beliefs here are what a lot of us so-called “terfs” believe. Nothing hateful, nothing awful, just biological reality and respect for women. I’ll be using this as a reference to perhaps post my own “coming out” post on social media. “ I am sure this post is going to be controversial, but I ask that if you have ever been my friend to please read this entire post before forming an opinion on me. This is something that’s been weighing on my mind for a long time, but I can’t keep silent any longer. I am very proud to say I have always been a progressive and a vocal supporter of the LGBT community and their rights to love and be whomever they wish. I will continue to defend these rights and speak out against cruelty. Anyone who knows me knows I am very much anti-bigotry and against hurting or mocking people for their differences from the norm. Furthermore, I support everyone realizing their full self, including their so-called ‘masculine’ and ‘feminine’ aspects, regardless of their natal sex. If anyone wants to live and present as the opposite sex socially or culturally, they should be free to do so, and protected from discrimination on that basis. I oppose violence generally and I specifically oppose oppression and violence against females and/or against males who present in a ‘feminine’ style. I also recognize that in science and in law, the categories man (male) and woman (female) arise from material biological sex differences related to reproductive capacities, recognized by all cultures in all times, and essential for reproduction of the species. In spite of various rare intersex conditions, most of which do not create sex confusion, humans are sexually dimorphic. Male and female people are physically distinct, and that distinction has real world implications. For thousands of years, men (males) have ruled — literally. In the west, roughly one hundred years ago, women (females) won the right to vote, after campaigning, taking abuse, being jailed, and sometimes dying for this right over many generations. Men (males) had denied the vote to women (females) based on their sex category, not based on ‘gender identity’. Now, males are leading a movement to redefine women based on ‘Gender identity’. The new, regressive, unscientific, unfalsifiable ‘gender identity’ doctrine, when codified into law, destroys the sex-based rights of women and girls (females). It nullifies other important sex-based categories, such as homosexual and heterosexual. It makes relations between the sexes impossible to negotiate in any reasoned manner. Many sex-based rights and protections for women pertain directly to women’s specific biology. For example, women are generally physically smaller and weaker, and therefore able to be dominated physically on the street, in the home, and in sports. ‘Gender identity’ ideology erases sex-based distinctions which are important to both males and females in areas such as medicine, economic opportunity, and political representation.The ongoing relations between the sexes need to be a respectful negotiation. This cannot occur if the two parties have no boundaries. Men of good will accord women their basic human rights; they do not seek to redefine the word woman to include themselves simply on the basis of ‘I say so’; they do not violate women’s boundaries by appropriating woman’s very being, rights and spaces for themselves. For a long time I have sat on these thoughts, researched both the gender critical and the gender inclusive perspectives on identity and sexuality, and I have many concerns. I am concerned about the push to allow boys (males) into girls (females) sports because they don’t identify with their idea of what it means to be a boy. I am concerned about the push to silence women and rewrite language about women in order to make a subset of an already small population happy. I am concerned about the push to call any woman who objects or even asks questions a TERF and to be blocked, blacklisted, or otherwise canceled socially and economically. Most of all, I am fed up with being told that a woman is anyone who identifies as a woman. As if women around the world even have a choice on whether or not they are women. I am a woman because I have experienced the terror of being a woman. I have started bleeding from my vagina and been told that meant I’d finally become a woman, at the ripe age of 11. The first time I was catcalled was at the age of 12, by a fully grown man. I have been repeatedly harassed, assaulted, and attacked in ways that would have never occurred had I been born male. No one asked my gender identity before asking me if my lips can suck dick well, men didn’t verify I was a woman before making sexist assumptions. I am a woman because my body is a woman and I refuse to allow stereotypes define my womanhood. Women are not a class that can be identified into or out of, women are radically different and unique people and can’t be defined by their emotions, their likes or dislikes, their personalities, their preferences, their sexual orientation, their personal style, or any other combination of things we are told are “feminine.” Women are simply defined as adult human females, and I am proud to be an adult human female who has managed to find a way to thrive in a deeply misogynistic world.I do not want anyone to be harmed or to lose political or economic rights on the basis of their being transgender, but I am not willing to give up my rights to privacy, girls’ rights to compete against equal competitors, or the very language that has, until the last 6 years, been created to define the common experiences nearly every biologically female woman has experienced. “

Endangered Speech
Endangered Speech
Part I
Approximately 15 years ago I noticed the seeds of change. Over the coming decade, a rare mental health aberration grew from a subject rarely given much thought to a pitfall capable of destroying careers and lives if one’s opinions about it were deemed unfavorable.
I certainly did not wish to be someone who made life more difficult for a severely oppressed minority. I found myself at odds with certain other feminists. I wondered how they could be so callous. How could they say that these oppressed individuals who were fighting for their right to exist weren’t really what they said they were?
Transwomen are women.
Well, of course they aren’t biologically women. They’ve taken steps to resemble women because they feel that they were born in the wrong body. Surely, we can recognize them as women in a social context and include them in the fight to secure and protect women’s rights.
I began noticing aggressiveness from proponents of the trans rights movement that I hadn’t perceived from the gay pride movement or from transsexuals of the past. The transsexuals that I was aware of were people like “Annie,” a Vietnam veteran living in Trinidad, Colorado where they received male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. Or like Buck Angel, a female-to-male adult film performer.
I read Annie’s story in the magazine supplement of the Sunday Denver Post, and it brought tears to my eyes. Annie was a gentle soul who preferred hobbies like sewing and doll collecting to sports. At the time the article was written, she was celebrating her first doll’s first birthday.
Annie seemed lonely. She said that not many people accepted her. Some of them said unkind things about her, calling her Tranny Annie.
Annie didn’t have a political agenda. She just wanted to live her life peacefully and to have a friend who understood her. I wanted that for Annie and others like her.
I found out about Buck Angel several years later when I was hoping to quit my day job and make a killing with affiliate websites for adult film companies. Buck was born Laura but felt severely dysphoric in a female body.
Buck underwent transition in the early 1990s utilizing hormone therapy and receiving upper body modification surgery to better approximate the appearance of a male body. He opted against phalloplasty as he felt that the surgical technology of the time was not well-developed enough to create a truly realistic, functioning organ.
Buck Angel is, for all intents and purposes, a man. However, he has never denied that he is biologically female. In fact, he strives to educate others about the reality of living as a transman.
Part II
“So, what’s the problem, Sly?” you may be saying. “You don’t bully transsexuals or call them rude names. You think that they should be allowed to live their lives in peace and that they deserve the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. Why are you making a big deal out of this?”
I never wanted to make a big deal out of it. But the things I read starting around 2006 stated that we, as a society, needed to strive to be more inclusive of transsexuals. In fact, the term “transsexual” had gone out of vogue. The favored term was now “transgender.”
I couldn’t see a problem with that. I started replacing “sex” with “gender” in everyday speech. My late father, who was a professor of social sciences, felt that the trend of using “gender” instead of “sex” was sinister. He said that there was an important distinction between the two.
At the time I wrote my father’s opinions off as being hopelessly out-of-touch. He was a devout Catholic and clung to archaic viewpoints, such as a woman must take her husband’s surname when she marries (I didn’t, and it always bothered him) and women should stay home and raise children. In his view, gays and lesbians were welcome to have civil partnerships but shouldn’t be allowed to marry.
I thought that my father was simply stubbornly old-fashioned in his refusal to use the progressive term “gender” instead of the outdated term “sex.” I was wrong. There is a distinct difference between sex and gender and conflating the two has led to the mess we’re in.
Humans and other mammals are sexually dimorphic. This means that there are two sexes. Females have an XX chromosome pattern and produce large gametes. Males have an XY chromosome pattern and produce small gametes. Individuals with variant sex development (VSD), also called disorders of sex development (DSD) or intersex conditions are still either male or female.
In her book The End of Gender, Dr. Debra Soh, a sex neuroscientist, describes the distinction between gender identity and gender presentation.
“…gender identity is how we feel in relation to our sex, regarding whether we feel masculine or feminine. Gender expression is the external manifestation of our gender identity, or how we express our gender through our appearance, like clothing and hairstyle choices and mannerisms.”
Dr. Soh discusses how the levels of testosterone a fetus is exposed to in utero determine the degree of masculine or feminine gender identity and expression. A feminine man is no less male than a hypermasculine man and a masculine woman is no less female than a hyperfeminine woman.
Some people will experience dysphoria regarding their sex versus their gender identity. Some of these people will feel unable to resolve this conflict without medical intervention to make their physical appearance match their gender.
Part 3
Dr. Soh’s book is forthright and compassionate. However, she has been accused of transphobia because she refuses to pretend that people can literally change sex.
Abigail Shrier, author of Irreversible Damage, has been accused of transphobia for her concerns about the elevated numbers of young women seeking to transition.
Maya Forstater lost her position at the Center for Global Development for expressing her thoughts on women’s rights and gender self-ID. Here is what Maya said.
“I believe that while it is right that people should be free to express their identity and trans people should never be badly treated simply for being trans, the material reality of a person’s sex cannot literally change, and in situations where sex matters, it is sex that matters.”
J.K. Rowling, the author of the iconic Harry Potter series, is still being threatened with bodily harm including rape and murder for saying this:
Tumblr media
When women speak up, our security and well-being is threatened.
I believe that the current impetus framing identifying as transgender or nonbinary as cool, particularly when steps are made to physically alter one’s body, including the bodies of children and adolescents through use of puberty blockers, is benefitting a larger entity. Surely it benefits the pharmaceutical companies and the surgeons who perform the procedures. However, having recently watched the film Drugs as Weapons Against Us, I am convinced that an even more sinister group is benefitting from pitting feminists and trans rights activists against each other.

I was inspired to write this essay by the Freedom of Speech prompt from WEP.
Because of its controversial nature, I have opted not to share this piece in the competition.
This is part of the reason why I feel it was important for me to write the piece and to share it in other places.

I never hear gay men, lesbians, or bisexuals say they’re going to r*pe homophobes. I never hear black people, Asian folks, or Mexican folks say they’re going to r*pe racist. I never hear women say they’re going to r*pe men. It’s only y’all. Your male violence is showing
