Unpopular opinion but why is everyone so up in arms about the new Civil Oath? Literally all it's asking is for you to promise not to commit treason just because the Pope tells you to? I can see where people are coming from with the whole violation-of-religion deal, but can you blame the Assembly for trying to make sure the people aren't forcibly subjugated by the wealth of the nobility?
faith-first-alwaysdeactivated03011791
Sounds like something a heretic would say. To betray the Pope and king is to betray the will of God and your eternal soul! You should pray for forgiveness and pledge loyalty to the monarchy or have fun burning in hell. Sorry not sorry.

In regards to ppl jumping down your throat about that post (TM). 1) you're right. But 2) Like... I can see how discussing participating in sex acts with a trans woman is no different from having them with any other male is something that has merit.... But thats not RADICAL FEMINIST content. Like, is it gender critical content? Probably? Thats where it fits better. It would be more appropriate to tag it as such. But radical feminism isnt JUST gender criticality!!! Like, being gender critical is a part of radical feminism but They! Are! Not! The! Same! Thing!
And yeah, people instantly assuming that you asking "how is talking about giving a male person oral sex so explicitly (and in a way that would immediately alienate a lesbian reader... who the post is supposedly for????) is in any way relevant to radical feminism?" Meant that you were saying "female heterosexuality is unsightly and i dont want to see it and also het women need to shut up forever".
(And also the comparison of lesbians being like... I dont want posts about sucking dick to abound in the radfem tag is in ANY WAY AT ALL similar to homophobic people not wanting to see women kiss.... Like???? Thanks for being so bald-faced about your homophobia. Its not the same actually but its interesting to see that you think a minority asking an innocuous question is the same as oppression)
Dear. God. Some people on this site just fucking love to assume the worst from you and needlessly attack you about it. They bring all their lesbophobic assumptions into ANY discussion that you happen to have.
I'll tell you what a rational response could have been to the question you posed. "I think this is relevant based on gender critical beliefs that radfems hold and i wanted to share my experience with that audience"
That doesnt mean that anyone has to agree about whether or not it was a relevant post for a FEMINIST TAG based on FEMINIST CONTENT. But the way ppl responded to you was ABSOLUTELY DERANGED. Words in your mouth. Baseless assumptions. Critique based on things you didnt say. Like..... ????? HUH???
If ppl were normal the convo could have ended with you saying "actually i dont think this is relevant to radical feminist analysis. I think you should have used a different tag for this". Instead you had to have paragraphs long responses where you had to pick apart the lesbophobic rhetoric that is being tossed your way and defend yourself FOR LICHERALLY JUST ASKING A QUESTION.
You didnt even ask an inflammatory question! You didnt even ask it with intent to attack the original OP.
Not only is gender critical and radfem tumblr just.... Fucking radioactive with lesbophobia, but people *specifically* attack you with SO MUCH hostility and treat everything you say with so much bad faith. Like???? Its fucking exhausting to just read, i cannot imagine how fucking irritating it must be to experience it constantly. I wonder if perhaps... Hmmm.. there might be a specific form of oppression you face that might make you more likely to face these attacks.... Hmmm... i think it starts with "race" and ends with "ism". I have not seen white lesbians with similar politics to you facing the same backlash on EVERYTHING they say.
And accusing you of faking anons???????? HUH????? Yeah no, you -- a blog with thousands of followers who regularly gets anons -- MUST OBVIOUSLY have to send urself messages to show ppl agree with you and your opinions š maddening.
u said it all perfectly anon š and yeah funnily enough itās very clear people treat me differently, like even if ppl want to argue iām an obnoxious drama queen or whatever, women who are that & worse still donāt get treated the same way. but if i point out maybe thereās some sort of prejudice underlying ppl treating me differently then i get mocked and belittled further š¤ oh well. that whole interaction was just insane bc she straight up just lashed out at me & put a bunch of words in my mouth simply bc she saw that iām a lesbian. funnily enough these things happen even when i word things in the mildest least confrontational way possible so i donāt even know what to do to to get ppl to chill out
#like 2 days ago me asking for evidence of a claim about the UN was treated as an attempt to call someone racist??#every little thing i say or do or even my life experiences are dramatised in a weird way#and iām accused about lying and having alterier motives for EVERYTHING.

Imagine posting to a public site on the internet and believing you get to dictate who interacts with your public post on a public site on the internet... š„“ You're delusional. Grow up and get a secret diary or smth... š
Imagine sending an anon telling someone theyāre delusional and that they must think they can dictate who interacts with their public post on a public site even though they realize full well that at some point thatās an impossibility but hey itās worth at least trying to get transphobes to not interact with a trans personās post so you may as well give it a shot because whatās the worst they can do, say no?
Which surprising no one is exactly whatās happened and transphobes and terfs continue to be the most batshit insane people on the planet with nothing better to do than be the rudest people to ever exist & send weird passive aggressive anons to people making dumbfounding assumptions about what must be going on in this dumb trannyās brain. I forgot the worst they can do is harass me because they donāt have any hobbies beyond ignoring science, demonizing already marginalized people, and being nazis.
Anyway, someoneās mad I told them to fuck off and die in the tags of a cute animal post, arenāt they? Or perhaps mad I had you blocked so you couldnāt reblog it at all? Make your own goddamn post, Jesus.

Uhh sorry but thrift/second hand stores exist with tonsss of cheap clothing options without child and forced labor and much better quality. And if youāre on a tight budget (or even in general) you donāt need to be buying clothes constantly to where your income would be regularly impacted. I havenāt bought clothes in so long, only doing so after my old ones no longer fit, and even then I went to the thrift store and bought almost a whole new wardrobe for like $50ish. Also to complain about how you canāt afford any other clothes so you need to shop at SHEIN ā¦ just to brag about your vibrator that is not as much as a necessity as clothing nor relevant to your lame excuse about why you need SHEIN because clothes are expensive ā¦ do you even hear yourself?
Hi there! So I live in an very rural area of my country where we donāt really have thrift stores and if we do itās furniture thrift or the clothes arenāt in my size so itās actually very hard to āgo to a thrift store and buy a āāwhole new wardrobeāā (which even if I wanted to buy a whole new wardrobe thatād likely cost me thousands) and also I never stated when I bought the sex toy. I havenāt ordered from SHEIN in almost 2 years, about the time it started coming out about how bad SHEIN workers were treated, I actually had to even go to my bank account and look up the charges as shein doesnāt even recognize me as a past orderer. Shit honestly I stopped buying from SHEIN once they started labeling me as a fucking 3X in the plus size category š
Now if I was wanting to brag about the dildo and shopping from SHEIN (not vibrator my vibrator is from Love Honey!) then I couldāve just been a cunt and gone āš sounds like you need an orgasm hereās the link bestie!ā
@rememberwren (sorry for the tag but if someone wants backstory then by all means! š) Wren themself stated āno judgement itās their personal choice not to shop thereā in the same message of me saying āif I find a good reputable site that has a nice looking thrusting dildoā then trust me Iāll look into buying one from them.
Now moving to the comment about the āwhy buy sex toys if you canāt even buy clothes if my budget is that impacted.ā Comment, now moving past if this wasnāt just about you being upset about me being a past buyer from SHEIN, sometimes people have to buy uniforms for work. I went from working a job that paid me $24 an hour without have a strict dress code other than ādress niceā to being jobless and no one hiring me for almost 5 months just for a place with a very strict dress code to hire me.
At that point I had spent the savings I had from the job I previously worked as I had student loans and other monthly payments. So I had to go to my father and my little brother and borrow money from them (which reminds me I need to pay him back) so I could buy some clothes that would work for the new jobs dress code and even then I alternate between 4 shirts as thatās what I could afford at the time of me being hired.
So just because you live somewhere where you have access to good priced clothes, are able to get to an area/store that has thrift stores and you live a different lifestyle than I doesnāt mean everyone lives the same as you. Everyone has a different life and differing opinions on where to buy clothes from. And even if I wanted to shop in a clothing store to avoid what is now called āFast Fashionā then I have to drive almost an hour to 2+ hours away to even get to a store that probably wonāt carry my size and will still be expensive for āeco friendly clothesā
Now my last point, itās kinda hypocritical (and I mean in the nicest way I can as nothing these days is ethical considering price of living vs price of pay) you have an issue with shein and how they work their laborers then you should look into how silk and cotton is farmed and the ethical issues in there, and how polyester is made, those 3 make up the majority of clothing being worn today!

āI didnāt know what terfs had supposedly doneā
The reason a lot of the community dislike terfs is because they aggressively hate trans people, they also like to find trans people just to bully and invalidate their identity whether thatās their gender or sexuality
I also saw you mention that people hurting trans people arenāt terfs but men, when you fail to realize: anyone can be a terf, women, men, even trans people
And from the point of view in comparison to wlw spaces as someone whoās in mlm nblm nblnb spaces (and by wlw spaces they mean tags meant for wlw on any platform, gay bars, parades, dating sites, etc.) wlw spaces are a lot more toxic and full of terfs than mlm, nblnb, etc and obviously I am not wlw and I know this from the experiences of my wlw friends and family members
I believe terf presence is strongest with wlw purely because of the discrimination against trans wlw (obviously since terf stands for trans exclusionary radical feminist I case you didnāt already know it was an acronym) and itās completely understandable that non terf wlw would be uncomfortable by that because not only is it embarassing that people like that are part of their community but because itās scary to have someone in the community who have ill intent towards other people in the community.
Itās also the only reason why saying shit like āthere should b spaces for women WITHOUT penises uwuā is problematic is because,,,saying that makes you a terf?? Itās gross and fucked up to exclude people that are the same sexuality as you just because their body is different, it makes it seem like you think people with different bodies arenāt valid lesbians/gays/etc and itās inherently harmful and gross as fuck that youād think that way, youāre allowed to have a preference you donāt have to date people with penises but donāt make it your entire personality š¤¦
Itās incredibly invalidating for trans people, onto terfs being more dangerous for amab people: amab people are usually the target!! And they already have to worry about being murdered (more so than afab whether or not you choose to believe it) and physically attacked and they donāt need other wlw invalidating their identity on top of everything else
Itās also not hard to find evidence of terfs causing both physical and mental harm to people, due to transphobia especially the media doesnāt like to cover it so you wonāt frequently see news about it š most of the pain inflicted is usually E X T R E M E L Y graphic so youāre not likely to find a lot of coverage on that either.
@dyke-diva
[edited to update pastebin and make links clickable.]
First, just some more context about me: I am a 33 yr old lesbian, butch (in a nerd way) and quite androgynous/GNC.
Until a year or two ago, I was an ardent supporter of trans activism, as it went part and parcel with being a member of the LGBT āCommunityā.
Literally, asking this same question to myself was a turning point for me. I knew I was supposed to hate and denounce anything TERF-relatedā¦. but one day I realized, I didnāt know exactly what TERFs had supposedly done, that would warrant such seething hatred against them.
Like I said, I comprehend hating Nazis, because I have seen evidence of the unforgivable brutality of the Nazi regime and its supporters. Iāve taken history classes, read books and original sources, and watched documentaries about it.
Basically, I have seen enough evidence to understand the scope of Nazi evil, so it makes sense to me why some people go around saying āpunch nazis.ā Personally, Iām not the type to punch anybodyā¦ and I question whether punching actually fixes the underlying evilā¦ but based on what I know, I totally understand why nazis are so hated.
But why are terfs so viscerally hated that they are directly compared with a mass-genocidal regime? I want to know the truth. If the evidence is out there, I want to see it, to keep my views updated and accurate.
Now on to your response.
I do not believe that you should debate hate groups. I think that doing so will only help spread their hate and
I donāt really believe in debating hate groups, either. But I also believe that having a closed mind is a victory for authoritarians of all stripes. I have no problem engaging with people who disagree with me, because I generally believe in having āstrong opinions, weakly heldā ā I am firm in my beliefs, but my mind is open to evaluating new evidence. If I deem the new evidence convincing enough, I may change my mind or update my views. I value intellectual rigor, so I want to keep my views accurate and up-to-date.
I am severely distressed about the number of terfs in wlw spaces and think that something should be done about it, it has gotten to the point where if it is not stated directly that they do not support transmisogyny that I will often feel paranoid about being in the space.
Honestly, I would love if you could PM me about these āwlw spacesā that are supposedly crawling with terfs. I feel like Iām reading this from a bizarro mirror dimension, thinkingā¦ WHAT wlw spaces? Is there really anything like this, outside of a handful of unpopular tumblr tags and a couple of small subreddits?
The only spaces I know of, especially IRL, are bending over backwards to be so āq***r friendlyā that actual lesbians are being pushed out. One local activist in my city, started a public speech by claiming, āterfs are lesbians whoā¦ā and went on to drag lesbians for not being inclusive enough. Why only lesbians, I wondered??
Singling out and pressuring lesbians that way is not okay, in my opinion. Lesbians deserve to have spaces for lesbian (natal) women only. Lesbians are allowed to be repulsed by penises. None of that is hateful! Lesbians should not be pressured to sleep with anyone they arenāt interested in. Unfortunately, I see that happening a lot these days. The āwlw spacesā I know of, offline and online, increasingly pressure lesbians in this way. Not cool.
Now, I can handle those pressuresā¦ but Iām really worried about younger lesbians. Being a lesbian is hard enough as it is! We have a right to exist, and to express our sexuality without added pressures.
and finally reason three, trans people who are afab have been seen to dismiss terfs actions and beliefs purely because terfs do not actively threaten their existence like they do amab trans people.
Iām not sure if I follow this partā¦ it seems like youāre saying that some FTMs (ātrans people who are afabā) do not feel threatened by so-called terfs, because the perception is that terfs are more threatening to āamab trans peopleā? Sorry if I misunderstood, but I would be interested to learn more about this phenomenon either way.
The person who sent this ask had lots of āTerf Safeā tagged posts on their blog and in their likes (though it seems their likes are now private), so I had blocked them, on the post that I made on my @la-joueuse-ultime blog that I quoted above they had asked why Terfs and Naziās are being compared, saying āI know about the reasons Nazis are bad, we can study history to see that evidence. But where is the evidence that terfs are comparably bad?ā I had responded ā@love-it-or-its-free itās not that their comparably as bad, itās that theyāre bad. They are a hate group that has killed trans people and because of that they shouldnāt get a voice to spread their hate.ā I then told them I planned to block them, I had done so and then they sent this ask.
Well, just to be clear, you were the first to interact with my post. It appears that you went looking in terf-friendly tags, found my post, and decided to interact with it. Iām happy to clarify the details of this, but I think your wording makes it sound like I sought you out, when it was actually the other way around. I posted mild terf-friendly content, you directly compared terfs to nazis. I think thatās extreme.
I guess itās a good thing I hid my likes, too, because it sounds like you were ready to trawl for āpunishableā content. I meanā¦ who among us has not accidentally tapped the heart while on mobile or something? I hope you arenāt really intending to police liked content like that.
Now to the actual ask, I believe the reason you canāt find Terfs that have killed trans people is that, well, youāre literally not looking,
I am quick to google anything that pops into my head, so rest assured, I would not pose this question to a tumblr rando unless I had actually attempted to answer it for myself. Iām asking to try and gather more info/evidence on top of what I have seen already.
or you think that they needed to have direct (by direct I mean they physically took part in) killing the trans person. You donāt need to be holding a knife to take part in someoneās death, you can encourage violence against the minority, you can bully and harass them until they take their own life, or you can fight against medical procedures that some of these people need to live. Terfs have done all of these.
Rightā¦ but I specifically asked how you can directly compare terfs to nazis. I agree that bullying, etc. is wrong. But I am asking for the evidence you used to make the direct comparison. You are shifting the goal posts here. Iām okay with that shift if you areā¦ because Iām happy to provide evidence of trans activists doing things like sending death threats to terfs (or any woman who is deemed to have āterfyā views) which seems directly comparable to what you are claiming here.
It took a second search to find Terfs encouraging violence against trans women.
I found similarly scant search resultsā¦ but like I said, Iām willing to evaluate new evidence when I see it.
This post on Reddit (I recommend being careful, tw for violence) is of a screenshot of a Terf stating that āIt is a shame that people cannot do this in Americaā the post contained a picture of a man seemingly attacking a trans-woman for using the bathroom where she was most comfortable to do so. The posts were made on Spinster, a āwoman-centricā social media platform that was made by M.K. Fain, a known terf.
Soā¦ Iām honestly surprised you would link to that particular subreddit as evidence of anything. But Iāll charitably ignore the source for now. What I see, as far as content, is a screenshot of an anon comment on a website. You claim that the comment must be from a terf. Why? 1) screenshots can be photoshopped. 2) Anyone can sign up for an account on sites like that.
Sorry, but this isnāt convincing evidence to me. Even if itās real, itās not a death threat, itās not an incitement to violence. It could be ārealā in the sense that some troll signed up to the Spinster site just to troll āas a terfā. Itās just a shitty anon comment. Of course I object to the sentiment behind it (see anti-violence disclaimer to follow)ā¦ but I donāt believe it stands up as evidence to support your claims.
(aside: I donāt want to make this post any longer than it is, but I noticed some not-very-nice comments from that link and collected them in a pastebin here )
Finally, I researched the actual murder case in question. All eight people arrested in connection with the homicide are menā¦ not terfs.
(Iāll include this disclaimer here, though Iām bummed out that I feel the need to be pre-emptive/defensive about it:
I am anti-violence. I condemn violence of all kinds. (See above: Iām a softy, not the punching type) I especially condemn murder and homicide, and I do not endorse eye-for-an-eye justice. I want less pain and hatred in the world, for everybody, even folks who disagree with me.
I believe āthe Golden Ruleā is called Golden for a reasonā¦ itās Key! end disclaimer.)
Not only that but I found many articles directly denying violence against trans people, that I wonāt link because they were made by terfs for terfs and I do not want to give them a platform. By denying the violence trans people face you are encouraging it, telling the people who enact the violence that they wonāt be punished for it.
Yes, ādenying violenceā sounds like a bad or at least ignorant thing to do. But how is it remotely equivalent to committing violent acts? Unfortunately, if I canāt see the evidence, I can neither refute nor accept it.
Trans people have a shockingly high suicide rate, there is no denying it. This article talks about a Terf that targeted a suicidal trans woman to harass, as well as provides a link to an article about Cathy Brennan, one of many who try to directly prevent trans people from seeking medical help.
I read this, but I couldnāt figure out the series of events itās describing. I looked around on my own, and found that it seems to be a response to an ongoing feud between Dana Taylor (author of the piece) and at least one other person. For instance, I found multiple blog posts from the āother sideā which described Dana Taylorās participation in harrassment and doxxing campagins. Hereās one person on twitter, describing their experience with being targeted:
I just googled myself and found this from 5 years ago which said I was going to be watched. I donāt think they watched me.
source thread
Thatās just one example I found. There were many similar tweets and comments about doxxing involving the author of the link you gave. So Iām open to reading more about these incidents, if you have more links. If something bad happened, I would like to understand better. But right now, this at best looks like just one side of a multi-sided internet slapfight.
If you just listened to trans people you would hear story after story of them being attacked by terfs if you just paid more attention you would see them encouraging violence against trans people, and if you just cared a tiny bit more, youād realize that trans people are human too.
I am listening, or at least Iām trying to listen by asking good-faith questions while trying not to be attacked for it. Are you doing the same, keeping an ear out for stories of terfs being attacked, and listening to their stories?
How would it make you feel if I said, āif you just cared a tiny bit more, youād realize that terfs are human too.ā ?
Anyway, thatās the post thank you for being patient.
Same here. I want you to know that I truly appreciate your thorough reply and the time you spent on it.
