Well you see the interesting thing about social etiquette is that calling anyone at all any kind of epithet is generally regarded as crude and ill-bred behaviour, but seeing as you're specifying "women" as a homogeneous, monolithic group in this context, I'd bet that you're less concerned about my manner and composure than you are with making a statement about the patriarchy at large- which normally I'd applaud you for, even agree with you- however the inane way in which you present this piping hot take to my door makes me feel like you're not actually a good-faith progressive feminist doling out the most basic-ass, grade-one, first day of preschool-ass, bland-ass, seen-it-before takes I've ever seen like a scientologist dishing out scripture to college students, but more likely just a Radfem or Terf seeking out a blog big enough to grandstand their own rote, tried-and-true "sounds reasonable" stepping stone to pave the pipeline for other well-intentioned young feminists to slide down into the swamp of looney-tunes-ass gender-conformists wearing sexism under a different hat that you yourself have bought into, so no, I think I'll just keep being a rude bitch, with my bitches, cause I'm a bad bitch, and I bitch with who I wanna bitch with at bitches I wanna bitch at, regardless of gender, cause female identity and expression is not a sickly twin forever at the mercy of being defined by that which opposes it or stands beside it, and I do what I want

Bitch

Behold! A take so weird and bad, nothing I could say would possibly adequately introduce it

my reactions to most terf rhetoric fall on a spectrum between "weary/irritated" and "steaming mad", but sometimes i stumble across a subcommunity that's so utterly detached from reality that it knocks me out of that spectrum and into a zone of honest bewilderment. i don't even have the capacity to get angry. it would be like getting angry at someone for believing that the moon is made of green cheese. this has been a long-winded way of saying i just discovered a branch of radical feminism that believes pregnant women are evil

#terf cw #radfem cw #bizarrely some of them ALSO don't like infertile women bc they think infertility is like. nature's punishment? or something? #the only good kind of woman is the kind who can give birth but chooses not to #i meant to just instablock but i ended up scrolling down this person's blog with my eyes slowly getting wider #ps if you are a terf dont even bother trying to interact with this post i have my finger poised over the block button #be shh now

Sorry for sharing more shit I found in the radfm blocking mines but I'm losing my mind

I dont even think I have anything constructive to say here. This is just... a lot

I guess this is what passes as a terf takes nowadays:

It's almost like they have no idea what being trans is actually like.

#unsurprisingly many trans & genderqueer ppl are already doing this. what a shocker #i dont need to be a transguy to wear men's clothes. i don't need to be a cisgirl either #transphobia #radfem cw #talk tag tbd

Y’all ever hit block so fucking fast?

Trigger warning for Transphobia

-----

(Sorry, this isn't ace or aro related, but I wanted to rant I guess)

For some reason recently I've seen a surge of TERFs showing up in my feed, and it's really upsetting. They were saying their usual bullshit of "trans women aren't women and they're taking resources from 'real women'" and "trans men are just women that were taught by the patriarchy to hate their bodies". They even went so far as to say nonbinary people are just "confused".

I don't know why this has me so worked up. I don't identify as trans. I just don't like exclusionists of any kind.

I've seen it so many times and I still manage to be shocked by how brazenly bigoted TERFs are. I think your reaction is a pretty normal one, Anon, even if it's not directed at you specifically it's just so boldly cruel.

And yeah all exclusionists play by the same playbook, the more you see them the more you see their arguments match up.

Sorry this is happening to you, Anon. I find these things are even worse when you come across them somewhere you're not expecting with your guard down. I'm sure you're already unfollowing/blocking, but, assuming this is happening here on Tumblr, one thing I've started doing that I've found really helpful is blacklisting common tags they use ('radfem' 'radfem safe' 'radical feminist' in my case), and it will give you warning before you click these posts. It's also warned me a few posts have originally come from radfem blogs.

Take care!

do you know what “dyke separationist” means? that’s a radical feminist

Oh crap that part i didn't know ab that/see that ty for letting me know !! /genuine

[headspace-hotel]

I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but why people always bring up lesbians when talking about radfems? Aren't radfems mostly straight?

probably bc of the sub-group of them that's like, lesbian is a ~political~ thing where you don't associate with men and all deep bonds between women are a little bit lesbian actually.

Why do radfems hate men so much? not every man is a woman-hater rapist who is socialized to be evil and uphold the patriarchy. 

some of them are unlearning all of their sexist behaviors and using their status to bring attention to female voices. 

idk man

“And I have talked to some genuinely mistreated men, and that was, indeed, how they reacted; they come up to me and say things like, “I really get what you’re talking about, because I actually had a pretty similar experience.” So I get immediately suspicious of a man who stands up angrily, and starts growling, “Why aren’t you talking about this happening to men?? This happened to me!!” This style of guy doesn’t express any caring about what is happening to women. Nor does he express any gratitude towards the women and men who are working to assist abused women and to stop abusers. There’s no sign that he feels any sense of common ground with abused women. So I don’t buy his story. I think what he’s really mad about is that we won’t shut up about what so many men are doing to women.”

“Twenty years or so ago, we started to hear that it was important to talk more about male victims. The argument was that it would give our movement against domestic violence more appeal, because men would realize that it can happen to them too. We’d broaden our reach. It’s been a tremendous mistake.”

“The domestic violence movement has de-genderized itself. The programs are now called “domestic violence programs,” not “abused women’s programs” as they were known before. We talk about abusers and victims as “he or she,” ignoring statistics that show that it’s overwhelmingly male-on-female. When we talk about the issue, we try to make sure we aren’t hurting men’s feelings with too much truth-telling. Has this broadened and strengthened our movement? No, not a bit. The domestic violence movement is far weaker than it was twenty years ago, not stronger. Many, many of the gains that we made are now being stripped away, more every year. (Women’s rights in general are being stripped away in our times, as you have most likely noticed.)”

“Don’t be apologetic about making women your agenda. Don’t apologize for putting women’s needs and rights front and center. When someone tells you that you should be talking about male victims too, I encourage you to respond, “There are hundreds of issues in this world that need to be addressed. Are you saying that I can’t address what happens to women unless I also address every other wrong that happens in the world? Why isn’t it okay to make women my focus?””

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
