I will explain now why this tweet @reversedshinyoumaru agrees with is basically radfem ideology 101, the exclusion of bisexuals was started by lesbian separatists who were cis straight "politicial lesbians", in modern times these people are known as radfems!
A bisexual person is someone who is attracted to more than one gender, though not at the same time and it differs between romantic/sexual. What do you call a bi girl who is attracted to another girl? Or a trans woman? Or a non-binary person? What do you call someone who has preferences for women and enbies only?
A lesbian :D
Radical lesbians were afraid of both butch lesbians and girls who found men attractive (with or without wanting to date them). They were accused of "sleeping with the enemy" even though many bisexuals aren't attracted to men at all!
Saying that "bi means attraction to men and women only" is not only wrong but also erases so many other gender identities!
And even if you use the anti-black and trans-/enbyphobic "non men loving non men" quickly tell me, how many identities fall under "non man"? If you're attracted to enbies, you could call yourself bi and or a lesbian :D But hey, I know I can't win against transphobic radfems
You see, any exclus is anti-trans/queer :D because queerness is the acceptance of ALL gender identities and overlapping experiences! Picking and choosing who can be in your "exclusive club" is against what queerness stands for!
Being queer means you stand for liberation, not assimilation!
I bet at some point I will see "queer is a slur" discourse from you people, I mean you are already helping fascists shooting down elder queer people and you're calling them groomers, appreciate laws that censor queer/trans identities from books with the "think of the children!" excuse because you think you won't be targeted if you act like a good, wholesome only queer.
People will hate you regardless. So instead of shooting down the people who made it possible for you to identify yourself as queer/trans, why not march with kinksters, pick up a brick and throw them at cops who are trying to imprison you?
Terfs after they get butch women kicked out of womens bathrooms for looking too much like a man, call cis women men because they don't fit a white western beauty standard, say people who've had mastectomies (which are mostly cancer patients) are mutilated, reduce women down to their anatomy, act like trans men are clueless little girls who can't think for themselves, say women are naturally worse at sports and quiz shows and beauty pageants than men, flash a fake bush in parliament with children present, rile up so much bullshit about trans athletes that now there's laws being made where little girls have to have genital inspections, and throw intersex people under the bus at every opportunity
on a serious note - i think it's funny to portray women not wearing make-up as silly and childish when you're the one apparently caring so much about what other people are doing to their faces.
ask yourself: why do you find bare faces not appropriate for formal events? why does it bother you to see a woman without makeup? how does it effect you? why do you think it effects you?
you're so insistent that there are no societal pressures at play, that women are doing this exclusively for themselves and for the joy of it - then where does this urge to force it on women who don't find joy in it come from? why does it annoy you to see women in their natural way of being? it's a choice, but also there's a right choice, apparently, and anyone stepping out of line shoud be promptly shamed into submission. right?
"a little (whatever) never hurt anybody" okay and neither does a bare face. grow up.
Hello tumblr! It’s been a while. I have another post in drafts that I will be publishing later! But let’s talk about @reversedshinyoumaru aka @gravitybeetie on twitter!
Now we were discussing AI art and I don’t actually defend it. But I said Marshie’s art is probably less likely going to be used for machine learning and teasingly called it “special”
What followed was me being called an extremely offensive term
"Degenerate" is a buzzword used by neo-Nazis and the alt-right to refer to all kinds of people that they consider to be sexually or otherwise immoral or deviant.
That includes a lot of different kinds of people: sex workers, women who have sex outside of marriage, people in interracial relationships, drug users, anyone with an STD, anyone with any sort of paraphilia fetish or kink, Jewish people, political progressives, and of course, all LGBTQ+ individuals.
It's extremely sexist, homophobic and bigoted.
"Degenerate" is also a eugenics term. It expresses an opinion that someone is subhuman, literally less evolved than normal humans, in a biological sense. It's an insult to someone's DNA.
It's the kind of word that there's never really a very good reason for using to refer to anyone. Everyone human is actually human, not literally subhuman, no matter how much we might dislike them.
Also they were told to do this as seen via curiouscat.
I didn’t send the ask but why would I deny that you used right wing buzzwords on a queer person?
Or that you are ableist?
Remember that it’s autistic and disabled people who are called a freak the most?
Cis people really do feel like the gender they were assigned at birth.
Cis women really do feel like women, and cis men really do feel like men. They experience what we would call gender euphoria related to dressing and expressing themselves as their gender, whether that's in a femme way or a butch way or any other way. They feel joy and connection with their gender, with their sexuality and how it relates to their gender. They wear clothes, participate in activities, and express themselves in ways that affirm their gender identity.
Gender critical radfems and terfs will try to convince you that "no woman feels like a woman". They do this for several reasons. Firstly, it's to try to convince trans men they aren't trans, they're just women with no connection to womanhood because "no woman feels a connection to womanhood". They also do it to try to discredit trans women, by saying "If you feel like a woman, then you're clearly not a woman, because "woman" isn't a feeling, it's biology".
A lot of gender critical terfs and radfems claim they are "dysphoric women", and will try to convince you this is a normal state of womanhood. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say no, that doesn't sound normal at all, actually. Most women do not secretly wish they could be men, or more androgynous, or have a penis. Most women don't define their lives through suffering - they love being women.
If womanhood - or manhood - is making you miserable... you might be trans, or you might be gender nonconforming. See if dressing a different way makes you feel a spark of joy and happiness - seek euphoria!
I just said this in a reply on another post but very seriously?
I really think some shit is stirring on Radblr and I think we as trans folks need to be very vigilant about it and block as much of Radblr as humanly possible.
I've noticed I'm getting more Radfems in my notes as a trans masc that blogs about Feminism - coincidentally right after that copy and paste sexual harassment anon pointing blame at trans mascs went around hitting popular trans fem accounts.
Something my ex-gf actually brought up to me when we were discussing that anon was that she thought it might be a Radfem trying to cause shit. The fact that I'm now seeing increased activity happening on Radblr - specifically in terms of Radblr seeking out trans masc bloggers, especially Feminist trans masc bloggers - all but confirms this in my opinion as someone who's been around the block on Tumblr regarding this kind of thing.
Please be safe, please be vigilant, and block those fuckers on sight.
When a modern woman is blessed with a body that can move, run, dance, play, and bring her to orgasm; with breasts free of cancer, a healthy uterus, a life twice as long as that of the average Victorian woman, long enough to let her express her character on her face; with enough to eat and a metabolism that protects her by laying down flesh where and when she needs it; now that hers is the gift of health and well-being beyond that which any generation of women could have hoped for before—the Age of Surgery undoes her immense good fortune. It breaks down into defective components the gift of her sentient, vital body and the individuality of her face, teaching her to experience her lifelong blessing as a lifelong curse.
Actually feminists want you to shut the fuck up about how much you hate men and males. Yeah we voted. We decided it's actually super uncool to hate half of humanity due to something beyond their control.
Watch this video. Listen to what she's saying. She's explaining the dangers of strangulation and her own experience with domestic violence. What would you assume the comments are like? Sympathetic? Are people interested in spreading awareness?
No. The comments look like this
This is why I fucking despise kink culture. Y'all are willing to make jokes like this to a woman who survived domestic violence. Y'all are willing to invalidate her message to validate your kink.
Yes, strangulation is still dangerous during sex and it doesn't stop being dangerous because sex is involved.
Yes, women are injured by rough sex all the time.
Yes, it's still abuse even if it happens during sex.
