You know what crazy to me is I have body dysmorphia and if I told my therapist I was going kill myself if I can’t get a nose job she would rightly send me to psych ward and yet another group people make threats and they get whatever they want.
The funny thing is that, though I believe that some trans people are genuinely suicidal over this, so much of it is just socially spread bullshit. So much is just people saying ‘trans people will kill themselves if they don't get medications’ and other such guilt-tripping and abusive threats. There’s not an epidemic of trans people committing suicide due to lack of access (even though, yes, I admit that some do kill themselves but certainly not anywhere near the rates described). There’s an epidemic of threats.
And you know what? Even if there was an epidemic of suicides, all that proves is that it's another mental health issue and should be treated like such. Why are people allowed to threaten suicide if they don't access certain medication and then we simply just... Give it to them? And pretend like that's actually going to cure their suicidal tendencies?

Things I support:
dysphoric people (trans or not)
getting dysphoric people access to better healthcare
getting transitioning people access to better healthcare
getting trans people healthcare which presents treatment for dysphoria and transition as options and does not pressure anyone to do anything
scientific research into the health risks and long-term effects of various aspects of transitioning (binding, hormone therapy, psychological patterns, etc.)
safety and autonomy of trans people
detransitioned people
Things I do not support:
males in female spaces
female spaces being compromised into free-for-all “gender neutral” spaces (while male spaces are left untouched)
medically transitioning children
lesbians & gay men have to be “open to” dating transwomen/transmen respectively or they’re transphobic
lesbians & gay men should “re-examine” their “genital fetishes” (i.e. DIY conversion therapy)
presenting medical transition as the only route for dysphoric people
pressuring dysphoric and/or gender-nonconforming people to identify as trans
erasing gender-nonconforming women like joan of arc from women’s history by claiming they were transmen
erasing gay figures like marsha p. johnson from gay rights history by claiming they were trans
rapists, murderers and predators who hold (or held) positions of influence in the trans movement (biko, rivers, alok, etc etc)
“centering” males in female reproductive rights
silencing female issues to cater to transwomen’s feelings
silencing victims of male trans people in the interest of “not making transwomen look bad”
violent and/or intimidating protests, no-platforming, other intimidation tactics, as an attempt to ban women’s writing, silence women’s dissenting voices, and erase women’s achievements
people identifying as trans based on gender stereotypes, outdated notions of “brain sex,” or nebulous feelings rather than sex dysphoria
transwomen being allowed to pretend they were not socialized male
transwomen being allowed to pretend they do not, and have never held male privilege
transmen’s experiences with female socialization and sex-based oppression being silenced and transmen being thrown under the bus in order to make the previous two points appear legitimate
pushing false statistics, lies, and strawman arguments to demonize anyone who questions trans theory
“TERF”
subsequent TERF witch-hunts, block lists, demanding that no one so much as hear what radical feminists have to say and instead blindly accept a strawman version of what we believe
ostracizing and bullying of anyone who expresses curiosity about radical feminist ideas, reveals that they’ve read radical feminist blogs, or so much as reblogs memes from radical feminists
denial of basic biology
denial of basic sociology
denial of sex-based oppression

something that infuriates me about the beauty industry is that only women are expected to do things that actively impede on their body's ability to protect them.
eyebrows are meant to prevent dirt and various particles from getting into our eyes, yet women are expected to put fine powder in them.
eyelashes are also designed to keep dirt, particles, and other things out of our eyes, yet women are expected to put literal glue at the base of them to attach fake ones. not only that, but women are expected to put liquid straight onto our eyelashes to make them darker and longer
our pores are made to regulate our skin's oil production and keep the skin healthy, yet women are expected to clog them with foundation, concealer, corrector, highlighter, etc etc.
body hair is meant to protect the skin, keep the body warm, and prevent dirt/other unfamiliar objects and particles from getting into places they shouldn't (wounds, orifices, etc), yet women are expected to shave it all off for aesthetic purposes
you can't tell me the beauty industry isn't purposefully doing this.

The concepts of acesexuality and demisexuality have functioned as tools to erase feminist concerns about sexuality and relationships. Feminism began criticizing violent sex, hypersexulaty in our culture, the ideas that every woman should be available for sex whenever a man wants, and many other ideas like those. But now, women and girls who feel alienated by patriarchal culture don't have a support system based on a critical theory of our society... they have labels. Hypersexuality is not a cultural issue, it's a personal one, and if you don't like it it's your problem, and I hate how much of feminism we have lost thanks to identity politics.

No offence but almost every “trans boy” or ”non-binary” female I’ve ever known has just been blatantly anorexic and presented their symptoms in the exact same way anorexic teenage girls always have. Binding isn’t new, teenage girls saying they want to “have a body like a boy” when they’re struggling with adapting to their pubescent body’s new wider hips and weight gain etc. is not new, it’s been a thing among anorexics and those with body image issues forever so why are we suddenly diagnosing girls who have obvious eating disorders as being hecking valid trans boys wit gender dysphoria instead of helping them with their obvious body image and eating issues. Me and my friends all used to say we wanted a boy’s body all the time and what we actually meant is that we wanted to be thin and shapeless. There has been a 4000% increase in girls being referred to gender identity clinics in the UK where they’re all being given “gender affirming care” instead of dealing with the roots of the issues. We’re failing teenage girls so much n it rly upsets me

I am reminded of the Crown, in that the actor who played teenage Charles continued to play the adult Charles when they depicted the marriage to Diana.   It made you forget about the significant age difference.    Casting correctly aged actors for real people is important. 
Wait… so people are mad at Taylor Swift for casting a 19 year old girl and a 30 year old man to play a couple… in her All Too Well film…. Which is about her relationship with J*ke Gyll*nhaal….. I’m no expert but like… isn’t that the whole fucking point ???
“Sadie Sink is literally a teenager! Wtf this is gross!! Idc if it’s legal it’s still so wrong” yeah babe…..Congrats on ur critical thinking skills ur so close to getting it

In addition - surely we should blame a broader system that provides inadequate consideration and care for disabled people, over mothers who are not able to care for children.
Low income women who want to be mothers but know they couldnt take on the finicial costs of a special needs child shouldnt be blamed for making the choice to terminate a pregnancy.
Children are expensive. Caring for them is expensive and time consuming. Saying that the only people who should have kids are people with money has some very disturbing implications.
Just like women worrying about the social implications of carrying a girl to term in a patriarchial society, women choosing not to carry a child to term with a disability have been failed by a broader system.
This might be considered controversial but I really don't care
I remember seeing this post on radblr a while ago (if you know the op please don't tag them. It's possible they changed their opinion and I don't want them getting unnecessary hate) basically saying in the name of bodily autonomy it's okay for women to abort disabled children
This could be my personal feelings as a disabled woman but it felt very similar to eugenics
If you're pregnant and the minute you find out your child isn't "perfect" you decide to abort it that's not okay
What's going to happen if they don't pick up on a disability or the child develops a disability later on in life or are in some kind of accident that leaves the child disabled
Committing to child means committing to everything that can possibly happen
Your love for your child you're bringing into the world should be unconditional regardless
I'm sorry if this is not the right thing to say
It just really hurt and was on my mind tonight.
