#hey whats a terf

[noctilionoidea]

gotta love how Artemis is depicted with a majority female entourage, is a protector of young girls and is associated with things not considered appropriate for women during antiquity (like shunning romance) and almost everyone decided it meant she hated men. Like Hippolytus never existed or something. God forbid women have interests or community

#DID NONE OF YOUR ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT HER DOMAIN WAS ABOUT #SHES THE PROTECTOR OF YOUNG GIRLS. OF COURSE SHES GONNA BE SURROUNDED BY CHICS #greek mythology #artemis #Modern media does her so dirty. #Hey btw if any terfs reach this post I will fucking beat you with a hammer

okay i'm gonna say something and you all have to give me a chance. ready?

we need to stop making fun of poor american southerners who distrust the government. it's real easy to call them all conspiracy theorists and dismiss them, but half the time, its built off of a genuine feeling of being abandoned by the infrastructure meant to keep them safe.

in appalachia, a lot of people lost their homes because of coal mining operations. a lot of people worked in those mines, and then when the mines stopped being profitable, they got tossed out with the bathwater. a lot of appalachia is poor, malnourished, and i don't blame them for not trusting rich politicians who dismiss them as stupid and lower class.

if yall actually listened to half the things poor southerners say, you'd realize that a Lot of common leftist complaints are virtually identical to the rural grandma who doesn't hold with electronic money and politicians. it stems from a genuine feeling of abandonment and ostracization by the people who run the country. functionally, someone living paycheck to paycheck in the city in a tiny apartment has infinitely more in common with someone from rural appalachia than a politician. high rent, high taxes, food insecurity, feeling lied to by those in power, a general sense of frustration. it just sounds fancier coming from a city mouth than one with shitty teeth and a southern accent.

tl;dr stop dismissing southern people as stupid. they're absolutely right not to wholeheartedly trust politicians, because they've been fucked over by them time and time again, and honestly, id rather talk to a southern person who openly distrusts their representatives than someone from the city who wholeheartedly believes that Frederick Jamestown OldMoney III genuinely cares what people think and can be convinced to change his ways.

#appalachia #gettin real tired of this #hot take: southerners were right when they said never trust a politician theyre the devil #its easy to laugh but jesus christ are they wrong?? #those in power rarely came to power through just means #there i rephrased it fancy will you listen now #jesus christ #some people genuinely were never taught the fancy words to make people pay attention so you have to pay attention anyway #please note that i didnt mention race because thats an intersection im not qualified to talk about and would very much like to hear about #but jesus christ. have you all considered that maybe. just maybe #southerners arent stupid. trump was fucked up and awful and a piece of shit #he won because he at least Appeared to be sympathetic #leftists so so rarely try to actually understand poor people they dont like and its gonna be what fucks this country over #edit: hey terfs reblogging this 👋 #fuck right off unless youre prepared to include trans people in this statement #poor trans southerners exist!! i know an awful lot of them!! #im trans and southern and if you touch my post you acknowledge that trans people are breathing thinking people #with our own rational thoughts and opinions and live complex lives and face similar issues

how is it tgcf that has me naturally stumbling across a TERF in the wild for the first time

#i thought that take was bad but then i checked their blog and hey! guess what :) #illuspeaks #terfs unfollow me btw you make me ill

[toss-a-coin-to-your-stan-account]

"fuck sony for that cliffhanger you made me pay for half a movie" you are all so fucking weak and will never survive the winter

#the amount of time ive seen Unnamed Clock App randos say it was bad bc it was a cliffhanger lime #im sorry you're all so used to mcu 90-minute long ads for the next 90-minute long ad #that you cant wrap your head around the thought of... cliffhanger endings #as if its the first one to ever happen ever #as if Mockingjay & Unnamed Terf Book Series Last Movie werent split between parts 1 and 2 #like... this is normal #saw some dumbass say 'you could've put 10 more minutes for the fight' #first... the movie was an artistic masterpiece and even 10 more minutes couldve easily took 10 more months #second... does your dumbass really think it can wrap up in 10 more minutes without being rushed as fuck #no... hey heres a thought. they didnt put 10 more mins for the fight bc. itll take more. than 10 minutes. to... to wrap up #...what if i hit you with a rock what then #across the spiderverse #atsv #mine

you got madder at a trans girl getting banned from a website than you got about a transmasc child getting beaten to death and then you have the audacity to claim trans men aren't mad enough on your behalf? yeah, leave, no one wants you here, there's a reason for that

I assume you're talking about Nex. I've reblogged plenty of things about them and as far as I'm aware they're non binary. If there's more information that would say they're transmasc than that's fine, otherwise it just seems like you're the one who doesn't care about them. I fully support anyone who is LGBT in the US and think everyone should have rights and the ability to feel safe in their community.

Seems like I'm doing more than you are anon. Sorry you hate trans women so much. But you'll never make me leave this website. My love is stronger than your hate. Be mad about it.

#anon hate #hey matt nice site you got here #great moderation uys #yeah im more mad about something happening where i am that i can potentially influence that directly affects me #than something in another countr #that i have little to no power to hange #real shocker there #anon is probably a terf but this is exactly what im talking about

[mothslimes]

said it before i say it again. maybe it's less internalized misogyny and more "girls who look and act like this literally bullied me from kindergarten to 12th grade and beyond" so no i would rather not talk to girls who treat female beauty standards as the holy law

#mik talks #if you think criticizing female beauty standards and those who impose them on others = criticizing all women then you might be the sexist #like im so fucking tired of feminism being all about the poor stereotypically beautiful women wearing pink skirts who are soo forced into i #hey what about the girls on the playground who were their perpetual fucking victims in their pursuit of gaining mild power #those who coulkd never even dream of fitting the mold because they werent white or straight or skinny or cis or whatever the fuck #like even the fucking barbie movie is about some beauty standard white blond skinny feminine woman being sad about sexism #this is what many terfs dont understand lul. for some feminity is a cage they dont even fit into #they have no fucking safe area of just performing their societal role #if i see one more 'fixed' 'pick me' comic where they make the author kiss the girl thats based on their bullies i will kill something #yeah blablabla the plastics in mean girls are actually victims yaaalll.... its so sad theyre the real victims...... #when will yall accept that stereotypically beautiful (especially white) women still hold power. and are often bullies. #my mom is being harassed at her workspace by her exclusively female colleagues but u tell me again how female spaces are so wholesome #and oh tell me more about the perfect female commune and the matriarchy. god you guys make me sick #oh you felt forced into performing feminity and your friendships seemed a little fake? i was called slurs in 6th grade #they stole my stuff. destroyed my things. hit me. cyberbullied me. but oh you had it so bad #to be clear this is not to say these women hold the same power as men but yeah lets not infantilize girls who CHOSE to put others down #nerdy girls who make fun of popular girls being shallow were never the problem :skull: but you all called them misogynists for being pissed #for being bullied....and wanting to feel some mild sense of superiority in their lower social role

[fangirltothefullest]

I mean I get not knowing. The only way I ever know is if the og post was tagged as radfem or something. It shows up in filtered that way. But like... why be annoyed someone pointed it out politely? Deleting is easy and there's a million other cat videos from no transphobes

Y'all missed the point a bit my friend

#its not the polite people that are the problem #its the consistant bombardment of several anonymous people coming into my askbox being genuine assholes about it #its the people pointing fingers being likw well fuck you you should have known better #its the entitlement #like yeah do we want to reblog from an asshole no #but its gonna happen #and if it happened four days ago how in the hell is a person supposed to even know what theyre talking about or referencing #its the fact that its not just hey heads up that person is kinda shitty #its the wow you must be a fucking monster for even daring to reblog from a terf #like dude i reblog sometimes a hundred things in a row #i look at none of them #if yall are kind enough to tell me and give evidence or whatever then sure #but just being an wntitled di k on your high horse about it? #yeah thats the part that needs to chill

[figofswords]

the op of the Hannah Gluckstein post is a terf :pensive: shes red on shinigami eyes + has some real sketchy stuff on her blog. obv no judgment, just letting you know in case you wanted to block her. love ur art <3 <3

eurgh thanks for letting me know :/// I’m not gonna delete the reblog bc hannah gluckstein as a jewish butch artist is still something that speaks to me personally and I had never heard of her before but I will be blocking the op. fucking astounding that these people will understand gender-nonconformity of lesbianism and then turn around and fail to expand it beyond the end of their nose. goddamn.

#(ok sorry went on a rant in the tags so if you don’t want to read me losing my shit over transmisogyny here is your warning) #as an afab gnc lesbian myself I feel far far far more kinship to trans women than I ever felt to most cishet women and CERTAINLY to terfs #like. not to go off on a whole rant but it is genuinely so baffling to me #how can you read gender and sexuality studies and examine gender as the construct that it is and then come to the conclusion #that gender essentialism is the way to go?? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE. #when I took gender studies it was so fucking clear to me that like. it’s all bullshit. there is no binary gender there is no binary sex #none of it is real. society wants it to be real SO BADLY that doctors perform genital surgery on intersex infants to assign them sex/gender #trans women were and are and always will be SO SO SO SO SO key to queer liberation and the queer rights movement #and they are The Most Fucking Vulnerable Group!!!! they deserve more goddamn respect and protection! #going back DECADES they’ve been shut out of gay/lesbian rights groups #it’s like. transfemmes and fem leaning gay men are met with such aggressive hatred #in ways more extreme than say a woman cutting her hair short ever is #bc society views feminity as something weak and shameful #which! fucking proves a lot of the points terfs THINK they’re trying to say which SHOULD expand to #‘oh hey maybe our rhetoric was seeded as a way to cause a rift in what SHOULD be rhe ubited front of intersectional feminism’ #‘and therefore we should work together and for and with trans women’ #but no they’re too blind to realize that their shit MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE!!!!! AAAAAA #anyways. fuck. sorry to go off I just scrolled through ops page to confirm and got Real Fucking Mad godfuckingdsmnit #I need to install shinigami eyes I just keep forgetting #thanks for telling me tho anon. ugh. #asks #anonanonanonanah

jesus christ kevin’s subreddit is disgusting. like a lot of the fandom are pretty awful but i swear everyone on there is such a pos

#“hey kevin maybe don’t support mega-terf jk #actually kevin can do whatever he wants and buying the game doesn’t benefit her at all and i’m gonna go buy it now just to piss you off #what the hell is wrong with you???? #cmk

[fabledshadow]

Ok but “periods are a perfectly normal part of human biology & existence and people should be allowed to just get on with their lives while menstruating” AND “i would love a special isolated place where i could go and everyone would leave me the fuck alone while i deal with this shit” are two ideas which CAN and MUST coexist.

Terfs, this is not for you!

#periods #UGH IT’S GROSS AND UNCOMFY #AND I HAVE TO GO PLACES AND DO THINGS TODAY #AND I DON’T WANT TO #listen everybody is different and has different feels about their shit #also seriously terfs do not even fucking try me #EVERYONE WITH A PERIOD DESERVES COMPASSION AND RESPECT #HEY GUESS WHat so do people without periods #jfc how is this a debate still #my guts hurt amd i’m about to start wacking people with a stick

[local-magpie]

ok well i accidentally just read the whole Thirsty Sword Lesbians book. i like what the system is doing but i gotta admit i probably would be way more comfortable with it if i hadnt actually read all of the non-system bits. i get the very strong suspicion that the author and i would not get along

#do i appreciate what theyre trying to do #yes #do i think they do it well #...kind of. #its aggressive in ways that make me uncomfortable both because I Have Dealt With Many Reactionaries Who Talk Like This #and also because as a gay trans guy it makes me feel some type of way to see 'do they have to be lesbians' answered with #'you can be cishet if you want ig' #alongside like. transfeminine being defined + terfs being defined almost explicitly in their feelings on transfems #with zero mention in ANY of this about trans men #only transfems and a couple shoutouts to nonbinary folk #idk! #any one thing by itself would be whatever #but all of them together just make me deeply uncomfortable and like im not really welcome there #'do they have to be lesbians' 'hey its about general queer themes but you can be cishet if you want!' is just such. a particular answer #especially with the aggressiveness laced through other parts #and i understand why theyre probably doing that but. it still does not make me want to play this game #which is a shame bc the system and themes are good #yelling at the void

[clown-around-and-find-out]

in my experience a dni isnt necessarily virtue signaling but more just to show like. hey who knows maybe a fatphobic ableist racist neo-nazi will try to interact with this 'nagito komaeda supports xenogenders' blog. who knows. at least u tried to ward them off right.

#but if u dont use the block button then whats the point of a dni #i also see ppl get confused over what “basic crit” means #and for me at least i just take it as no homophobes/transphobes no racists no nazis no terfs none of that weird shit #i could be wrong but who knows #i think 'obvious' dnis are more just to show ppl like “hey we dont do that here just so u know” bc the internet has shitty ppl and u would #be surprised by the amount of racist terfs sporting a 'glitchcore' komaeda rentry #but yeah thats what i think at least #but the ppl who say “basic crit” and then proceed to say “dni if racist dni if homophobic” confuse me bc like. whats basic crit then. #🦈: my posts #🦈: rambling #dni #dnis #dni stuff #bad dnis #dni list #dni banner

I think I've been redpilled into attending conventions exclusively in cosplay.

I'm just going to be chasing the high from this previous weekend's cosplay meet-ups for the rest of my convention going life huh.

#me before supanova: idk im kind of over working on this cosplay. #sure I've got all this stuff i paid for but idk if the benefit outweighs this effort...... #(attends supanova both days purely because an interstate friend is attending both days) #(no cosplay meetups but has a fun time) #hey that was cool let's upgrade the Smash ticket so we can attend both days :) #and let's try to get the rest of the cosplay done for oz comic con :) #(attends Smash basically by myself buy has a complete blast at cosplay meet-ups on both days) #I AM ENERGISED! I AM MOTIVATED! #we WILL get the rest of this cosplay done for OZCC!!!!! #AND what if i look into attending one of the bigger interstate conventions! AND what if i make another cosplay next year!!!!!! #completely redpilled. #<- meant in the matrix way of enlightenment and not in the fucking fascist or terf way #ramblings of a bystander #a bystander makes cosplay

[waspinators]

happy lesbian visibility week also if you give a shit about women you should shut up or risk being lumped in with vile fascists

#txt #hey i think we should start actually fucking saying Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminism if thats what were talking about #because 90% of this site doesnt fucking know what terf means and just slaps it on anything and everything #without actually giving a shit about trans women in the slightest. lol

[999-roses]

@ihatethewest is a radfem who has a huge terf following and often interacts with other radfem blogs (if you search "feminism" on their blog, it's all from radfems)

Anon I think if you go tell them about it directly, it might resolve your issue??

inb4 the rest: I haven't contacted her before posting this reply;; anon i did take your suggestion to search her blog under 'feminism' and originally did see some questionable posts. but as I'm typing this response, I refreshed the search and it appears that she's actively removing rbs from radfems, maybe she got shinigami eyes a little late in the game, who knows. so... anon. did I do anything wrong? I don't think I've reblogged posts with terf radfem content but please let me know if I did thanks 👍

this is not an invitation for any radfems/terfs thinking my blog is friendly to you lot. you will be welcome here once you dismantle the hateful ideology from your mind and are no longer a radfem including you 'cryptos'

#asks #anon #the girls are fighting.txt #I mean if I've rb'd any specific posts that have harmful rhetoric pls let me know. I'll delete it #because yeah. I don't support any transphobia or misandry #while tumblr does seem to want to suggest 'blogs like this one' that have those components of radfem off of @ihatethewest's blog. #i don't see posts of that flavor on their blog? maybe she was radfem back in the day but i'd say it looks like she's not anymore #idk maybe that's where a lot of people start & then realize there are many parts of it that are bad!! u can talk to them directly about it? #I don't want to judge people purely by their past as if their current actions/change don't count. #i don't want to subscribe to 'once an x always an x' especially when it comes to ideology. which is something that CAN change #this is also like the 2nd blog that someone's told me is a radfem but also happens to be black ??? #the other one was legit BAD w/ terf shit tho. like that was deserving of calling out. also the person who told me wasnt anon #<- im NOT saying that being black is an excuse/shield for terfism NOR am i saying that black feminism->radfem. #but is it a coincidence?? it is misogynoir on the part of anon???? whats going on folks. what. is. happening. #idk im tired. hey anon! you wanna tell me about other blogs that are for black liberation and aren't 'work with the establishment' liberal? #like im trying to get clued in to aligned struggles. clearly i have a void to fill wrt listening to black folk & im trying to remedy that #thru youtube and tumblr. purity policing is making it... annoying. also people's thoughts can change over time hello #exhibit A right here. I used to be a liberal & thought NPR was the bomb.com lmfao. u think people should start out perfect or be beheaded?? #chen yells at clouds. more at 10

ive reached a point where i am at peace with being The Resident Trans Person. i am well educated, i know my history, i can be patient. i am willing to be cis peoples first trans person because i know it means that i am making the world easier to live in for other trans people

#ari opinion hour #yesterday i was in a meeting where my opinions and experience were very relevant #so i gave basically like a mini ted talk so ppl could have a lil more info that could help them make a decision #like hi! trans person here! so heres what i know abt the situation heres some stuff to keep in mind #abt terf rhetoric and how not being patient w/ misinformed ppl can immediately impact trans ppl and etc etc etc #basically came out to most of a room of like 35 ppl #im always surprised that it feels like ur first breath after coming out from under a blanket lol #also after the meeting i was with ppl and someone implied that all girls dont have penises and i was like ''Hey not all girls'' #and they were like OH sorry :( and i felt like a dad lmao
