fun fact, my Jewish grandma who's a 7th generation in Israel, who's family escaped from like half of the Arab countries in the world, is also Palestinian. because that was the name of Israel before we got our independence in 1948 and the people who lived here were Palestinian. which is my way of telling you that just because there's something before 48 that says palestine, doesn't mean it's evidence that the Palestinians were here before the Jews because Jews who lived here were also, shocking, Palestinian.

You literally want gender non-conformity erased and medicated out of existence. A feminine male must be a girl! A masculine girl can't use she/her anymore! That girl doesn't want to play with dolls? Better put her on puberty blockers! You enforce traditional gender roles, not the feminists who believe we are defined by our individuality, not gender stereotypes. You also sound just as braindead as those who call ex-Muslims Islamophobic, because your tiny brain cannot wrap itself around the idea that not all atheists are white and organized religion is deserving of criticism.
Lmfaooo lookit this fuckin terf out here in my inbox making a complete and utter clown of themselves.
Okay, apart from the fact that you’re completely ignoring the fact that nonbinary people exist, and that the concept of two genders is a western thing- you do realize that you’re literally fucking contradicting your own shitty ideology, right? You’re literally fucking saying that you want people to be shoved into binary gender roles, while I’m out here saying that people don’t have to fucking conform to ancient-ass behavior rituals just because they were born with a dick or not (which isn’t even coded entirely in your chromosomes, it’s based on a melting pot of different factors and works on a sliding scale). Like, you’re literally fucking enforcing gender roles WHILE claiming that I’m the bad guy here, and also claiming that you’re a ‘real woman’ because you happen to have a pussy and gush blood out of your fucking vagina once a month.
Also, guess who happens to be an ex-Muslim? Guess who happens to not be white? I was born into that religion because my father was an Iranian immigrant, and I quit it, because I frankly hate most of religon and think it’s stupid; hell, my dad himself isn’t really religious, he just acts it out bc the government forced everyone into prayer. Hell, I’ve been to Iran several times, I’ve had to act according to Muslim law, I’ve seen my family grouse about it and tell stories about how they threw away all of their makeup after the Revolution because people who looked like they were wearing it were being thrown in jail! I, of all people, know that religion is the cause of a lot of suffering- but again, that is a form of Islam enforced by a religious extremist group for political purposes, not the religion itself. The religion itself speaks of peace and love and respect for others; it’s the fucking extremists that strayed from Allah, and the vast majority of Muslims aren’t extremists, you piece of dogshit. There’s nothing wrong with it, I just left it because I consider the idea of a benevolent god to be fucking stupid.
(I should also mention that critiquing ‘organized religion’, while alright for christianity and the extremists America put into power, is also fucking antiseminic as hell. Jewish people follow an organized religion and they’ve literally done nothing wrong in history, other than, idk,,,have a culture? Fucking hell your argument is a goddamned mess.)
Also, guess who had to fucking deal with islamaphobia my entire fucking life? Guess who had to deal with racism and shit because of my physical features? Guess whose grasp of Farsi is broken because my dad was terrified I’d be killed if someone heard me speaking in public? (Because, for context, I was babbling mostly Farsi when 9/11 happened, and people are fucking insane). Guess who spent many nights of my life literally crying because I was terrified that my family still in Iran were going to be nuked? Because it wasn’t just scary in January, that happened on and off throughout my life. I bet you’re one of those girls who called me a hairy ape with a unibrow in elementary school and then turned right around and got fucking participation prizes for showing ‘girl power uwu’ during group projects
Keer amo bokhor, terf
