I remember arguing with this trans-identified female before I was full-on gender-critical. I had asked her why it wasn’t enough for her to just express herself however she wanted. As in, why wasn’t it enough for her to cut off her hair, wear masculine clothing, go by a masculine name, etc. Why did she have to go one step further and misogynistically claim that the aforementioned characteristics meant she was no longer a woman? Because as she had described it, gender dysphoria was indeed an issue of self-expression first and foremost—not an issue of linguistics. 

She responded by saying that even if she self-expressed in a masculine manner, being called a woman would still give her dysphoria due to the stereotype of women being feminine. Essentially, it bothered her that others would associate the word woman with femininity. So then I asked how we would ever deconstruct those associations if masculine women like herself continued to deny their womanhood, and continued to insist that their masculinity meant they were actually men. She never responded after that.

What was most intriguing to me, is that she had no issue acknowledging that her sex was female. With that in mind, I had attempted to explain that whether she called herself a transgender man or a gender-non-conforming woman, in most people’s minds that simply translated to being a masculine female. And again, if she had no issue acknowledging that she was a masculine female, then why couldn’t she just as easily acknowledge that she was a masculine woman? Round and round the questions went.

Convincing teenagers that their families hate them because they question their trans identity is pure evil. Identifying as trans automatically implies that you're unhappy with your body. Shouldn't any loving parent's instinct be to reassure their child that they're perfect as they are? Stop vilifying loved ones legitimate concern and stop making kids think their families want them dead. It's nothing but cruel fearmongering.

“Can you define woman without excluding any woman?” Yes, I can, actually.

A woman is a person born with at least one X chromosome and with the absence of a Y chromosome.

It’s fairly simple. People with Turner’s syndrome (XO) are ALWAYS female, and people with Klinefelter’s syndrome (XXY) are ALWAYS male, because the presence of the Y chromosome makes them male. And this isn’t my opinion by the way, this is medical literature. We’re also talking about sex here, not gender. This includes any variation of chromosomes - for example, the extremely rare genetic disorder, XXXYY, people with this disorder are ALWAYS MALE, even though they have more than one (and two!) X chromosomes, because the presence of the Y chromosome makes you male.

I give any radfems and/or TERFs the right to use this explanation whenever some TRA trues to pull the “but what about (extremely rare genetic disorder) or (someone with no ovaries, a hysterectomy, etc). Because you don’t really need to define “woman” by external genitalia or even anatomy, because there’s one thing that all women have, no matter what. And it’s at least one X chromosome, and no Y chromosome.

Gendies be like JKR is evil because she smiled at a conservative on the street once, but I, a dedicated user of a listmaking app made by a rapist that singles out women to be ostracized, am a paragon of morality unassailable by guilt by association

asexuality is the most fucked up concept ever. if you try to google things like "why dont i enjoy sex" or "why dont i want to have sex" all you will find is websites about asexual pride as opposed to real resources about mental health, gynecological health, and hormone levels and how they pertain to your sex drive. its like a band-aid instead of a real solution. plus its always followed up with "but asexual people can still go through the motions of having sex to please their partners" go to hell. that might as well be grooming, encouraging people to have sex they dont want...

The domination of male-coded language.

Especially in the 2010’s, everyone called each other “bro” and “dude”. I’m sure it even happened before this timeframe. Doesn’t matter who is who, what is what. You called everyone and everything “Bro” “Bruh” “Dude” “Man”.

Not many complained. Actually, the expression was shared back. Another way of saying homie. Everyone said it. Everyone accepted it.

Even till this day, for the most part, it is a part of our daily language. It’s become common language, usually to specify friendliness and common ground.

But why doesn’t this happen with female-coded language?

“Girl” “Girlypop” “Bestie”. While I’ll admit, Bestie is not technically female coded, a lot of women do use this word.

I think about how so many people, especially men, get annoyed or upset when called “Girl”. Even “Bestie”. I see men talk about it on Social Media, about how much they hate getting called that. They get annoyed. It’s even come to a point, it is seen as transphobic, we cannot call people Girly Pop or Girl because it can offend someone who is trans identifying.

People come to the defense “well not everyone feels comfortable with that” “not everyone identifies as female”. But only when people are offended by the female-coded terms.

Where is the same energy with women getting offended by being called Bro and Dude? During the 2010’s Giant SJW Bash, I’ve seen women come out that they hated being called Bro and Dude. And nobody had that same logic. They told these women, get over it. Everyone gets called Dude & Bro. It’s normal. It’s a good thing.

The normalization that being male is gender neutrality.

Being called Dude, Bro, Man— it’s ok. Even if you don’t like it. Even if you’re not a man. You should be lucky to be seen as a fellow…man…
