Cosmetic surgery is NOT the same as reconstructive surgery ffs. Someone getting a nose job so they look "better" is not the same as someone trying to restore their nose after an accident and you all know it.
"Oooh you can't criticise plastic surgery, some people NEED it" ok well I can and I will, just like I'll criticise the diet industry even tho sure there are people who might need to lose weight out there.
Let's be real here, it's very telling that feminists will be like "hey so X exploits women" and suddenly a bunch of you will be like "whoa there, have you considered not talking about that?"
It's worse when those of you claiming to be all anti capitalist do this tho. Oh you think capitalism is bad, but also we shouldn't critique the rise of dangerous and unnecessary cosmetic surgeries? Go fuck yourself
your sex is literally just your body. it is a completely neutral biological characteristic. it says nothing about you. nothing about your personality is incompatible with your body. you can act/dress/behave any way you want regardless of your sex! neither your personality or body need to change!!
I made this & I had a lot of fun with it. Maybe use it the next time you’re dealing with someone annoying ? Might make it a bit more fun tee hee. Or just reblog it & laugh at it. I think it’s pretty accurate.
This person says that "amab supremacy" and "afab solidarity" are terf talking points. Doesn't that make them ask questions about anti-terfism? If acknowledging the existence and criticizing a social system that constructs people born with a penis as the oppressors of females is a terf idea, and therefore must be opposed.. it just means that anti-terfism is anti-feminism/male supremacism
yes, but you missed a point: transfems will not always be closer to males, they will be indistinguishable from males because they are males 💕 (same with transmasc people of course)
I mean not necessarily, there are still intersecting modes of oppression that a trans-identifying male could face (like being oppressed for being gay or gender non-conforming), but on the axis of sex, yeah
I'd also block people who use "amabness" as an adjective, because why would they bother to nominalise a term just to use it as an adjective? You should obviously use them as nouns
because it's true lol
because they do
well, you don't have to realise that you are women, but recognising the truth is not really harmful imo. Also, you don't have to detransition. If you are content in your transition, more power to you! Doesn't change your sex though
which "TERF" dislikes women dressing masculine? What women are these people even talking to😭
I just had this conversation with my friend and I thought I'd share it here : believing that feminism has to educate men in order to destroy the patriarchy because we cannot do it without them (this is what she believes) is believing that men oppress us because they are ignorant. It is saying that they oppress us because they don't know what they're doing and don't realize they are doing something wrong, and that somehow this ignorance has been going on for centuries. It is being overly naive. Men aren't babies. Men aren't innocent little beings who would never hurt us if they knew their actions were hurtful. They have been oppressing us for thousands of years, we have been figthing against it for thousands of years ; how could it be possible for them not to understand what they do ? How could they possibly take away our rights without understanding what they do ? How could they hit us, rape us, traffick us without understanding what they do ? And it's not like feminism is new. We have been fighting for centuries and they have been fighting back for centuries to prevent us to free ourselves. They don't read feminist books, they don't take listen to our sperches, they ignore us when we talk about our rights, they mock us, they don't take us seriously. And listen to them speaking. Listen to them giving each other relationship advices, teaching each other to manipulate us. Listen to them talking about us. Read their comments on the internet. Read their damn books and essays about feminism and women's rights. They know what they're doing. They don't care about us. They hate us, they don't see us as humans.
Record store makes Tik Tok about their female only stock. Comments filled with people asking if they sell specific trans artists DESPITE them already confirming they have trans artists in their catalog.
It’s not about inclusion they just don’t want women to have anything for themselves.
it's amazing that men have successfully managed to detach themselves from patriarchy.
like, the patriarchy is just considered some nebulous inhuman force of nature now, affecting men and women equally, like it wasn't created by men, for men, and exclusively defends men.
imagine if white people had managed to decenter themselves from white supremacy in this way.
