the way i like something tagged feminism and immediately get a bunch of terf posts recommended to me it's fucking infuriating FUCK ALL TERFS FUCK GENDER ESSENTIALISM. if you're a terf you are NOT a feminist- you stand for fucking fascism.

#like fuck off we've all been traumatised by men and that has NOTHING to do with trans women #like it's wild to me to see feminist media from the 70s examine gender and sexuality in such meaningful ways outside of the gender binary #when there are people who call themselves feminists nowadays clinging to gender essentialism like a life line #what was it all for?#i feel like the goal should have been moving towards a society free from shackles of gender #yet things feel like they've only gotten more rigid #especially with the rise of conservatism globally #not to say there hasn't been progress for certain countries but change on paper doesnt equate to change in reality #it's not so easy to undo generations of learned behaviour #we still really really really need to though #anyway i need to go read some feminist literature and make my brain bigger so i can talk about these things more poignantly
