“I certainly don’t consider Butch women to be masculine or manly in any way. Butch women are women and my sisters. They are not ‘like men’. The reason Butches are seen as ‘masculine’, is because our society leaves no room for the non-performance of femininity in women. When women refuse to perform femininity, they are labelled masculine because we don’t have a word for non-performance. There is the word ‘androgynous’ but I don’t think it’s applicable in the case of Butch women, or indeed any woman, because androgynous means, “having the characteristics or nature of both male and female.” Butches only have the characteristics and nature of females. Because they are female.”

That thing you think is your “innate gender identity?” It’s your fucking personality

The concept of any gay person begging for the approval of any religion that textually or doctrinaly forbids people to have gay sex is so embarrassing and bizarre to me

When a woman is really good at sports 💗💗 when a woman is really good at math 💗💗💗 when a woman is really good in her scientific field 💗💗💗 when a woman is really good at her trade 💗💗💗 when a woman is really good at programming 💗💗💗 when a woman is a really good firefighter 💗💗💗 when a woman excels at male dominated fields despite all the obstacles 💗💗💗💗

this is so compelling and heartbreaking and important and i wanted to share it. this is the reality of getting an abortion even with roe v wade in place and it's about to get worse.

The only thing comparing JK Rowling to Hitler demonstrates is your ignorance, lack of intelligence and critical thought, and complete and utter disregard for all the lives lost during WW2.

it takes at most 3 seconds of thinking to realize that it’s impossible for misogyny to be based on anything but the reality of femaleness. idk how else to explain why little infant girls are choked, drowned, raped, cut up, dehumanized, banned from education, groomed into a role as some man’s personal servant, if it’s all based on a set of pronouns that they aren’t even grown enough to verbalize yet. as if anyone waited until little baby girls settled on a gender identity before going ahead with the decision to work her to death like a cow. what a waste of anyone’s fucking time

Pretty clear that a lot of people simply do not take misogyny as seriously as they take any other form of systematic repression

It’s just really baffling to me that a decade ago on the “woke” part of this site - hell six years ago even - if you said lesbians had to accept dick no matter what, you’d be outsed as a homophobic pariah and assumed to be a shitty straight man or a believer in conversion therapy.

Literally I’ve been sitting here watching this whole thing slowly shift blame onto, somehow, lesbians themselves instead. When nothing about the existence of homosexual women has changed. Make it make sense!
