Hey, do y'all think we could stop doing the following:

Post about sex-based injustice women in foreign countries are facing.

UK/USA Radfems: So how is the trans crowd going to pretend sex doesn't exist now??!??!

These posts are important for radical feminism on their own, without connection to the trans issue. We make plenty of posts about the damages of denying the sexes' existences, one that better address that particular issue with plenty of fitting example of sex-based oppression.

However, that is not the only goal of radical feminism and I'm sure it comes across as dismissive and performative to non-UK/USA Radfems when we only use their issues to point out sex based oppression exist. Especially when we have local examples of sex-based oppression in the UK/USA at our disposal.

The issues that are affecting the women in those areas are worthy of being talked about and taken seriously without any association with gender critical arguments. We should work harder at not using them as tokens, but rather realize that they are real women with their own societal misogyny that deserves the same respect and consideration we afford to western feminists.

does anyone else get really annoyed when people use gay when talking about lesbians? We have our own specific word. Use it. The less we use it the more it is sexualized and the less other lesbians feel comfortable to use this important specific word that describes clearly exactly who we are.

i think i've been living in denial for a long time--liberal feminism never felt right to me, it never felt like something i believed in, but i went along with the popular opinion around me because i didn't want to be ostracized by my friends.

my first encounter with radical feminism was when a friend of a friend started calling herself a terf. because of her, i went online to read about "terfism" and found myself very upset--not because i was angered by what these people were saying, but because i realized i agreed with them and it scared me. i was terrified that i might be "transphobic," so i convinced myself terfs were evil manipulators who want all trans people dead in order to keep myself in good moral standing.

since then, i've read a lot of radical feminist literature, combed through countless radical feminist blogs, articles, social medias, and testimonies, and i have decided this is absolutely the place for me. ever since first admitting to myself that radical feminism isn't evil, my internal sense of peace has increased tenfold. i am not lying to myself anymore, and it feels fantastic.

i do not hate trans people. i believe they deserve safety and respect just like everyone else. my feminism is also not centered around trans people (women face a huge number of threats that have nothing to do with trans people), but modern trans activism is what pushed me to radical feminism because of how regressive, homophobic, nonsensical, and hypocritical it is.

please interact if you're also a new radfem blog, or just a radfem blog in general! i'd love to find some more people to follow and some mutuals to talk to. <3

honestly i think hetero/bi women are fully aware of the way men are. they aren't stupid. they're just obstinate. they have in a way weighed the risk/reward of partnering with men, i think, they just kind of smudged the numbers to let them do what they were ultimately already unwilling to ever give up. they don't want to live a life without romantic and sexual relationships even if it will literally save their lives because to them it automatically equals loneliness. so they refuse to do so, even if it means they need to gaslight themselves into it.

they know at least enough of what the risk are and their brains are twisted into knots trying to rationalize it because they do know. they know when he insists condoms don't feel good, they know when he gets huffy if she isn't feeling up to sex, they know when she gets pregnant, they know when he gets angry at them and starts smashing things, they know when they overhear the things he says while he's gaming, they know when his friends come over, they know when they talk and he interrupts, they know when their gender reveal tells them it's a girl and he storms off, they know all of it. they just don't listen to that knowledge. the ideal version of their lives in their head is one with a man in it, and if they can't have it they aren't interested. osa women won't prioritize their own interests because their interests go against what they are taught their whole lives to yearn for.

other than plain lesbophobia i think this is part of why they get so angry at lesbians, even in radical feminist spaces where criticism of men and partnering with males should reasonably be expected to occur. they think we're privileged, because the risk we face is at the hands of society rather than the hands of our partners, and that's a lot easier to digest for some people. you expect society to harm you as a woman anyway. but your partner?

and even when they don't feel at all jealous or bitter in that way, they cling to the homophobic myth that lesbians have just as high/higher domestic violence rates. of course we don't, that's extremely obvious to anyone with even the tiniest hint of critical thinking skills, but it shifts the argument onto us so they can act like we are taking the exact same risk. we aren't. they want to believe that we're their oppressor somehow and we're just angry not all women are lesbians, that lesbians are just as violent and dangerous to their partners and we are trying to somehow trap heterosexual women in relationships with us. they put their anger onto us because the thing they're actually angry at is never going to change-- they want what they were let to believe was possible when they were little girls. they want a good man, a marriage, safety. they want to be loved and cherished and protected by a man. they want to matter to the men they desire.

it's a cycle. osa women go against the things that would help them. they start to identify with the things that actively harm them. they praise men, they raise them from little boys cornering girls in their class to ask them inappropriate questions to teenage porn addicts to adult serial rapists, they fuck and marry them, they give them babies and become their servants. and when they've completely devoted their lives to men they teach their daughters to do exactly what they did.

every time a woman does not fully teach the risks of being with a man to her daughter, the cycle continues. my mom told me she was thankful i was a lesbian because she would never have to see me the way her mother had to see her-- beaten black and blue in a hospital bed by her boyfriend. she has also said she was sad when i came out because she was going to miss out on the moments she dreamed of bonding over-- first boyfriend, birds and the bees, first time, first pregnancy scare, wondering when he'd propose, the announcement of our first baby. women know that both of these are extremely plausible outcomes, that you're gonna meet bad ones before you meet the one good one, and sometimes you don't make it out alive from the bad ones.

they just find ways to rationalize it. you can't take men away from us. what, do you want me to be lonely? you're just trying to get me to sleep with women! i don't know how those other women ignored the signs, but MY man wouldn't hurt a fly. I'M strong enough to get out if it ever got too bad. you can't force me to be alone. i'm able to be independent, having a man is MY choice. it's empowering to ME. i'm using HIM for HIS body, actually. he's one of the good ones. he's an ally. he would never hurt me.

it's like there's this imaginary perfect man in their mind they've been building up idealizations of since they first started dating. he's kind and involved, funny and smart, respectful, loyal, who loves what she loves and thinks she hung the moon, who's passionate but chaste, who respects boundaries and desires only her... he has a grip on them that is just never going to be argued away. it's nostalgic, it's comforting, it feels safe. he's what we end up arguing against. until the illusion completely shatters all on its own, they aren't willing to give up on him.

You are a real woman. You have no womb, you have no ovaries, you have no eggs, but that doesn't matter. You are a valid human who is trying to feel comfortable in her body. All the “validation” you get is pure. Behind your back people love you. Your parents are happy and proud of you, your friends laugh at your jokes behind closed doors, and boys love you, and girls envy you. Men absolutely love you. Trans folk who “pass” look ordinary and natural to a man. Your bone structure does not matter. Estradiol widens the hips. You will be happy. You will smile every single morning and tell yourself it’s going to be ok, and deep inside you feel the euphoria creeping up like a weed. It is what defines you, not the transphobes. Eventually, it’ll be perfect for you – you’ll come out, start HRT, get top surgery, and finally be your ideal self. Your parents will find you, happy and relieved that they finally have a happy daughter. They’ll congratulate you on your hard journey, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a woman is what you are

i don’t exist to be palatable or desirable for men. i am a mean, man-hating lesbian. i am a hysterical woman. i am hairy and tall and strong and fat. i am not beautiful. i don’t have to be, and i don’t want to be. i am butch. i am loud. i am unafraid to critique this system. i make it a point not to market myself to men. not to market myself to anybody. i do what i want. when i want. and it makes me so happy

y'all talk and that's fine but it never addresses that y'all have to police people in order to engage in romantic or sexual relationships you can't just like... be cool. you have to ensure that your partner is a Female Assigned Female At Birth Sapphic Militant Separatist Biologically Correct Lesbian and it's like dude god i guess that's fine but isn't that just the weirdest metric with which to govern some aspects of your personal life?????? if they're beautiful fuck them!!! get over it!!! sex essentialism is a colonial tool and has no purpose but to control and do harm my god in heaven dude

Okay doesn't really bother me that much but I just wanna put it out there...

TRA's and TIF&TIMs who go on terf accounts and posts confuse me a little.

1. They say we are harassing trans people when we never do that and they are literally on OUR posts.

2. Comment "How did I get on terfblr??" When that will make them see our posts more.

3. For some reason don't just block the very well known radfem tags. Great that they have a master block list but they could avoid most radfem posts just by blocking the tags, just like I did with trans and transgender tags.

4. Are very hypocritical. They harass and try to bother us but then say its not okay when, allegedly, we do the same. Just don't engage? Idk what the problem is.

5. Make public comments/posts and then get triggered when we engage with the public comments and posts. It is literally public, its not harassment to simply respond.

I dunno its just their victim mindset can be very confusing cause of the gymnastics they do to keep the victim spotlight on themselves at every moment of the day.

naur but this has probably already been said a million times but why is it now so controversial to say u don’t like penis AS A LESBIAN??? like it’s defeats the whole point

It’s as if you’re proving my points for me. Misogynists will always resort to violence because they have no real reason except they feel threatened by empowered educated women.

@kushblazer666 Thank you for proving my points for me.

I am most definitely done with expecting change in feminism from straight women. As a radical feminist, I have realized that women, especially straight women, have been and are one of the stanchiest opposition to feminism and women's rights. Some would say " here she go generalizing again" . Here's a simple example, that I know most of us will relate to :

My mom is a very educated woman . She has raised me to be independent and always pushed me for more . Only when there's no man in her life. You see, my mom is one of those women who will be "women's rights" all day every day, until time comes to act . Whenever there is a problem between a man and a woman she knows, be them married or bf and gfs, she always, always, takes the man 's side *until proven otherwise*. My cousin is a wifebeater , a pedo and a druggie. She provides him with money whenever he asks because "he's family" whereas she's absolutely, and I mean absolutely vile , to his wife , who is my age. This, is coming from a woman who have been severely beaten by 2 of her 3 ex-husbands. She always , always finds some way to justify defending men over women. I absolutely detest that pig and never hide that fact. Whenever I scream at her for giving in to that poisonous bastard, she blames me of being "cruel".

How many women do you know like that? That's the vast majority of the women I know and I have met in my short life. Be them aunts ,cousins, friends, female teachers etc... They all show this pattern of " of course I am for women's rights but" . I thought these sort of women were improvable. I was wrong.

If feminism is supposed to progress, then I fear it will have to come mostly from lesbians, or otherwise women not in relationships with men. I am done fighting for these women . That is not to say that I will not help fellow women when I see one in need. It is in my nature to , and I always will. Only if I absolutely have to though . I am done with trying to help these women get out of abusive relationships only for them to get into another again. Or trying to defend them whenever they advocate for kinks and bdsm with men . The world is full of the likes of Nikki Minaj , Rihanna and Cardi B.

I fully believe that separatism will fully come into effect one day . Straight women have the choice to stay with their beloved men and they shall most probably. I just hope that one day, women like us , radfems , be them lesbians, febfems , or the like, will succeed in creating thriving communities devoid of any male whatsoever. Maybe not in our time, but that doesn't deter me. Peace.
