Feminism isn't "Women vs Men"

Feminism is "Us vs The Patriarchy"

And "Us" includes everyone.

Terfs after they get butch women kicked out of womens bathrooms for looking too much like a man, call cis women men because they don't fit a white western beauty standard, say people who've had mastectomies (which are mostly cancer patients) are mutilated, reduce women down to their anatomy, act like trans men are clueless little girls who can't think for themselves, say women are naturally worse at sports and quiz shows and beauty pageants than men, flash a fake bush in parliament with children present, rile up so much bullshit about trans athletes that now there's laws being made where little girls have to have genital inspections, and throw intersex people under the bus at every opportunity

You're a fucking misogynist. Do you like licking the ground that ejaculators step on? Do you like the feel of the prostate owners boot on your neck? Fucking sperm producer worshipper.

I'm publishing this solely because it's so fucking weird.

Radfems are so, so weird...

I just said this in a reply on another post but very seriously?

I really think some shit is stirring on Radblr and I think we as trans folks need to be very vigilant about it and block as much of Radblr as humanly possible.

I've noticed I'm getting more Radfems in my notes as a trans masc that blogs about Feminism - coincidentally right after that copy and paste sexual harassment anon pointing blame at trans mascs went around hitting popular trans fem accounts.

Something my ex-gf actually brought up to me when we were discussing that anon was that she thought it might be a Radfem trying to cause shit. The fact that I'm now seeing increased activity happening on Radblr - specifically in terms of Radblr seeking out trans masc bloggers, especially Feminist trans masc bloggers - all but confirms this in my opinion as someone who's been around the block on Tumblr regarding this kind of thing.

Please be safe, please be vigilant, and block those fuckers on sight.

One thing you have to remember is that online queer discourse doesn't make a damn bit of difference to systemic queerphobia irl or LGBT rights. No amount of playing respectability politics by identifying the "real freaks" will ever lead to sexual emancipation or prevent sexual violence. No amount of trying to identify and cast out "oppressors" and "infiltrators" will ever make homophobes and transphobes respect the sanctity of your sexual identity. Not letting people have words and flags and colours is absolutely nothing except a weapon for online harrassment and clout-chasing wielded by white and Western weirdos who've drunk the colonizer Kool-Aid.

Terfs and radfems be like "don't reduce a woman only to her genitals and womb!!" And then do exactly that

[kiruliom]

can we stop the belief that terfs hate transfems exclusively or like more than they hate cisgender men or transmascs and pretending it's just the trans women's battle against them and you're allies for them or whatever. this literally undermines how much harm theyre doing both to the trans community as a whole and even to the people (cis women) they claim to be protecting. terfs hate trans men just as much as trans women, transmascs arent safe because terfs view them as "uwu confused girlies trying to escape oppression", that is a very narrow worldview and inherently transphobic itself (it excludes butches, transmascs who's medically transitioned, intersex people, etc. etc.) transfems arent more oppressed by terfs than any other people theyre oppressing, please understand this. Im so sick and tired of people undermining my transmasc siblings when it comes to harassment from terfs because "well you arent a target to them", why are they harassing them then????

I just geniuenly dont like how the queer community can claim to be transmasc friendly and then view transmascs the same way transphobes view them (again, uwu girlies who are tricked into ruining their feminine beauty, they dont know anything and how lucky they are). feels both andromisic and misogynistic at the same time on top of transmisic idk how the fuck you manage to fuck up that badly

tldr: stop pretending transmascs arent affected by terfs nearly as much as transfems

anyone can reblog, except terfs of course they can fuck off

transfem is used as a way to refer to "TMA"/"AMAB" trans people transmasc is used as a way to refer to "TME"/"AFAB" trans people I know the definition is a bit more fluid now so I just wanted to note that

Here's the thing:

Cis people really do feel like the gender they were assigned at birth.

Cis women really do feel like women, and cis men really do feel like men. They experience what we would call gender euphoria related to dressing and expressing themselves as their gender, whether that's in a femme way or a butch way or any other way. They feel joy and connection with their gender, with their sexuality and how it relates to their gender. They wear clothes, participate in activities, and express themselves in ways that affirm their gender identity.

Gender critical radfems and terfs will try to convince you that "no woman feels like a woman". They do this for several reasons. Firstly, it's to try to convince trans men they aren't trans, they're just women with no connection to womanhood because "no woman feels a connection to womanhood". They also do it to try to discredit trans women, by saying "If you feel like a woman, then you're clearly not a woman, because "woman" isn't a feeling, it's biology".

A lot of gender critical terfs and radfems claim they are "dysphoric women", and will try to convince you this is a normal state of womanhood. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no, that doesn't sound normal at all, actually. Most women do not secretly wish they could be men, or more androgynous, or have a penis. Most women don't define their lives through suffering - they love being women.

If womanhood - or manhood - is making you miserable... you might be trans, or you might be gender nonconforming. See if dressing a different way makes you feel a spark of joy and happiness - seek euphoria!

Gender should be joyous, not drudgery.

i dont know who needs to hear this, but the word "queer" is one of the most inclusive words out there, and it should stay that way. Yes, "queer" includes cishet aromantic men. all "queer" means is that you're don't fit into society's standards of cis/hetero/a normativity.

Feminism has always, always had a history with Racism and White Supremacy - particularly in a way that promotes fascist leaning "Protection for Me and Mine" type "activism".

There have always been several Upper Class, White, Women at the helm of Feminist movements and it is something Poor, Working Class, Women of Color have been vocally criticizing since the First Wave.

I mean, US Americans, did you not learn about Sojourner Truth? Have you not read "Ain't I A Woman?"? It is one of the most famous early accounts of the racialized nature of gender. It perfectly highlights the way the social aspects of gender have always been barred from People of Color in a way they aren't barred from White People in a firsthand historical account.

Women's Suffrage, and subsequently the First Wave of Feminism was an actively Racially Segregated movement. White Suffragettes intentionally campaigned for themselves and themselves only because they thought that campaigning for Black, Immigrant, and Indigenous Women would undermine their own movement. They did not seek liberation for women, they sought the Systemic, Institutional Power of their White Male Peers and they got it - by intentionally leaving Women of Color behind them.

This is most evident in the fact that White Women received the right to vote in 1920, but Black Women did not receive the right to vote until 1965 with the Voting Rights Act. Almost 50 years later. That is over half a lifetime. This was also only approximately 2-3 years before Radical Feminism and the Second Wave began around 1967~1968.

If you think racial segregation and racism in the Feminist Movement ended with Black Women's suffrage and completely dissipated within the two years it took for the Second Wave to pick up it's feet, you are naïve at best and actively racist yourself at worst. The Women's Liberation Movement / Radical Feminism have always been White Woman's movements riding the coattails of the Suffragette's racism.

Look at the website for the Women's Liberation Front. WoLF is one of the original Radical Feminist organizations. It was founded in the late 60's and is one of the largest Radfem organizations to date. Now. Look at their board. Look at the photos of women they choose to include across their site. Look at the women who are speaking at their events. Beyond one or two token Black Women, it is a sea of Whiteness.

You know who is a special advisor to WoLF and the founder of the group "Standing for Women"? Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, aka Posie Parker. Kellie-Jay is the woman who popularized "Woman means adult human female" as an anti-trans slogan. Kellie-Jay is also real good buddies with - you guessed it! Neo-Nazis and White Supremacists!

WoLF also takes money from the Alliance Defending Freedom, (ADF) a Right Wing Christian Organization, and it's members have worked directly with the Heritage Foundation, a Conservative organization founded during the Reagan Presidency.

Radical Feminism as a political movement cares about the lives and held power of White Women under the guise of "Women's Liberation" in the exact same way as their foremothers, the Suffragettes. It's a foundationally White Supremacist movement. Black Feminists, Indigenous Feminists, Immigrant Feminists, and Colonized Feminists have been talking about this for over a century but it falls on White ears so why would they listen.

it's not progressive or feminist at all to imply that trans men should detransition btw you're literally just transphobic

arguing over whether trans men / mascs / genderqueer men / etc can be lesbians Specifically on the basis of "keeping men out of women's spaces" is harmful to All trans and gnc lesbians.

lets line up three stone butch lesbians. one is a trans woman who is pre-e, one is a cis woman who takes testosterone and binds, one is a trans man who doesn't bind but does have bottom surgery.

are you confident enough to say that you'd be able to tell, on sight, which of these three people you're morally allowed to gate keep from the lesbian bar with no risk of overlap?

if a stone butch takes testosterone, gets top surgery, uses he/him pronouns and 100% identifies as a woman is that person still allowed to be a lesbian? if a trans man never wants to (or financially/medically can't) medically transition and considers being butch a part of their identity (maybe even considers themselves to be both a man and a woman) is that person too close to masculinity to be a lesbian?

if we normalize excluding butches from lesbian spaces that aren't adequately Womanly enough for our personal taste can we guarantee the safety of butch trans women? can we guarantee that trans women Won't be pressured into changing their presentation for your personal comfort instead of their own? can we guarantee that black butches won't have their perceived masculinity presented and treated as more threatening than their white counterparts?

if someone considers themselves a butch lesbian it's probably because they have a better understanding of their identity and sense of self than a stranger does. you don't have to personally get it, because it's not about you. if you don't want to date a trans man then like. don't.

but if we Do decide to draw a line, we have to then reckon with the ramifications of that. once we decide that we're allowed, as a community, to tell people that their identities are wrong and that we can personally decide to oust them if we don't like or understand them then that is setting a precedent that Only puts other minorities at risk.

there is no epidemic of fully binary trans men breaking into lesbian bars to steal all the women away, but there's plenty of terfs and radfems that are more than happy to convince people that lesbians are supposed to look and act and be a certain kind of way. and it's trans women and women of color and genderqueer people who are punished for it.
