#cw radfem bullshit

[rollerska8er]

I genuinely have no idea how you read Cordelia Fine and came to the conclusion that being transgender is a "chosen identity" but, okay.

I do wish "uwu I'm a radfem but I'm not a yucky TERF, I just use the exact same patronising rhetoric about trans people as TERFs" accounts on here would cut the shit.

you think being trans is a pitiable and abominable condition which prolongs the existence of misogyny, and while you may not have the outward contempt for trans people that J. K. Rowling has, you still, ultimately, wish trans people didn't exist.

do i believe trans identity is "innate"? no, because gender is not innate. but the conclusion you seem to have arrived at, based on Fine's work, is that how trans people feel about their gender is the product of a conscious choice, like picking a hairstyle. in fact, and Fine's work quite literally supports this, it is likely to be the result of a confluence of social, biological and cultural factors, which emerges in early childhood.

this hews extremely close to the "oh, the poor delusional flowers, if only they knew the Truth that Sex is Real" shit i see TERFs peddling all the time, only with the added insult that you're claiming to be pro-trans.

this is paternalistic, mealy-mouthed crap which claims to be on the side of trans people but quite simply treats them like they don't know themselves.

gender isn't real and sex, at least in the sense of a rigidly defined binary, isn't real.

either you are on the side of bodily autonomy, or you are a fascist. no exceptions.

Have you ever heard that claim that transgender people have brains of their chosen gender? Or the claim that men and women have completely different, dimorphic brains? Well, neither of those statements are true! Here's the explanation as to how neurosexism and bad science have hijacked our understanding of brains & sex/gender.

No information in these infographics mean you can't respect transgender individuals' chosen identities. It just means that "brain sex" is a neurosexist myth and neuroscience studies are insuffiecient to defend transgender identities as innate.

Feel free to repost these images or repeat the information next time you see someone claim that science has proved that brain sex is real or neuroscience explains why transgender people are the gender they say they are. Also, these take me a long time to make so a reblog is always appreciated :)

Y’all ever hit block so fucking fast?

This is for you, not for you to post. I saw your tags and here’s a the bottom line: young girls who have never experienced homophobia (but have grown up in a sexist culture) claim to be “queer men”. It’s offensive to gay men, because they have had the words “fag” and “queer” thrown at them along with stones. They are bullied from childhood. They struggle and eventually are proud to be gay. But the experience of growing up gay, of their struggle, is dismissed by younger women. When these men say “I get that you romanticize us and like us, but my history, reality, and future is different than the stories you read. Please don’t claim to be the same as me” young women who are “liberal” like to respond with hate, they call them terfs, they send death threats (no matter how much they mean it it hurts), and continue to fight for THEIR (young women) right in gay spaces. It’s homophobic because they tell gay men “your opinion doesn’t matter” and then act like their feelings are superior to a gay man’s feelings, about gay spaces. The same is true in reverse for lesbians and men who want access to those worlds and areas. If someone is identifying as “queer” they’re saying “I’m not gay but I want to included in gay spaces”. When someone says “any pronouns” they’re saying “I want to be included in the cool kids group and I don’t care that gay men and women have been judged for not adhering to stereotypes and have worked hard to reduce the stigmas of pronouns”. Young women have been hated on by the world and they’re rightfully angry and they don’t want to be the stereotype that the world says is an ideal woman. But when you befriend lesbians and gay men, they’ll show you there’s no wrong way to be a man, that there are no rules for how to be a woman. You’re a woman as you are. No nazi surgery required. No gatekeeping of spaces that aren’t yours required. So, all the young people crying about being “persecuted” for TIKTOK views and tumblr followers are not “liberal”. Their outcry has nothing to do with gay rights.

ah ok i see. so my generation is homophobic because we *checks notes* support trans people. seems logical.

Glad you agree! One of my favorite things about They Might Be Giants is that they aren't shy about standing up for what's right. Trans rights are human rights!

[bucephaly]

Yall should block @/cavememory, they often reblog from radfems and they've shared blatant nazi rhetoric posts and I've politely informed them multiple times that that's nazi shit and they never responded

Proof under cut, cw for very white supremacist bullshit

semi-mandatory intro post woohoo!

hi hey hello my name is rain!! you can also call me rainy or will tho. since i have been bestowed such nicknames by friends

i do art (digital and traditional) and i sometimes dabble in animation :]

i’m an agender man n i use he/they/it pronouns. i have no preference, go wild, mix em up, whatever lol. i mostly prefer gender neutral/masc terms also. (ex: boy, sir, brother, sibling, dude, bestie, etc)

i freely swear and sometimes draw the human form. uh. without clothing. you have been warned. (nothing graphic, cws are on those as well)

oh also if you want to be mutuals you will either have to directly ask or interact with me enough to the point where i feel guilty for not following back. the follow button is the scariest thing in the world to me. it’s an issue. just so you know

anygays if you want to continue perceiving me for whatever reason here’s my fandoms + interests:

will wood‼️❗️

hollow knight >:)

drawfee!!

rain world :)

elden ring :,)

am aroace :)

i *probably* have auDHD (i’m seeking a diagnosis rn)

i have chronic migraines (+ also maybe me/cfs) and might complain about that sometimes👍

this goes kinda without saying but: any transphobic, homophobic, racist, islamophobic, antisemitic, ableist, fatphobic and/or misogynistic nonsense will NOT be tolerated by me. terfs + radfems + swerfs + any other weird bigoted bullshit blogs + weirdos who are defensive of/pro-capitalism + empty blogs will get immediately blocked | another thing: maps and dsmp stans dni :|

I honestly despise you all for saying the most disgusting, violating things to transfems and then crying and complaining when we bite back. We deserve love, and I'd embrace a transfem quicker than a cisbian terfette cunt can say "straight man with a fetish."

We, the transfems who may be reading, are HATED by TERFs and their allies. I've noticed that there are a lot of lesbians who seem to despise us for no apparent reason. No matter how loudly they scream, never accept shit from these people.

@transdonatello You can't converse with me on main, so you send me lame DMs. Terfs are wimps confirmed. Also, I am and always will be a lesbian, and if that bothers you, I recommend YOU go outside.

[plague-vulture]

I love when fits say things that are definitely normal and not at all batshit crazy

[don't harass this person just block them]

[juicy-agender]

Quick reminder that this is what Trans exclusionary, Radical Feminist ideals are heading towards.

Someone who is a TERF may not personally want this but this is what they are helping push, there is no denying that.

[kissimirrit]

actually lrt i have been seeing this sentiment more and more on twitter lately that it makes me think that there is a return of the 2013 bi discourse part 2 electric boogaloo.

because there was this EXACT discourse on tumblr back then, especially centered around lady gaga (an out bi woman) brought her male partner to pride with her— and there was discourse surrounding whether bi people with opposite gender partners were queer or could refer to themselves/their relationship as queer/go to pride and/or experience straight privilege. (the answer to that last one is no fyi, bi people, especially bi women and bi trans people of any gender experience the highest amount of intimate partner abuse among the community, no matter who they are partnered with).

and that exact discourse is why back when ace discourse started to get loud around mid-to-late 2015 and all of 2016, a huge bulk of people who were supporting aspecs at that time were bi folk.

so like, shut this discourse down asap. it’s been done and tried and the resounding result was bi people are fucking queer regardless of who they date you fucking dinguses. bring your partner to pride, yes even if they’re cishet. bring them with you anywhere you want—your partner should love and support you and that includes getting a wider-scope of queer people if they’re cishet to be a better ally to everyone, and especially to you.

y'all, the OP on the Barbie breakup headlines post going around right now is a TERF. Please, I beg you, go into your preferences and blacklist common TERF tags like 'terfs please interact' and 'radfem safe' so you are less likely to platform TERFs. :/

[gendercritquinn]

They’re actually upset the creator used the term “male with gender identity disorder” not because he said penis like AlleyXO thinks (unless I missed those ones as well).

Another commenter said the right way to say would have been “from a transwoman to give the correct context.”

Ok….

And what is a transwoman? A *male* with gender dysphoria or what used to be known as gender identity disorder…hence the penis.

Also question, is the penis in ice??

***TW/CW: Radfem/TERF bullshit, lesbophobia, and transphobia***

Ahhhh god, this is so funny... This is from late August, but I'm only just now seeing it. But just... y'all still on this discourse bullshit of "Y'aLl DoN't KnOw WhAt LeSbIaN mEaNs!!!1!11!!" while, uhm... not knowing what lesbian and sapphic mean NOR knowing anything about lesbian and sapphic history. Also, I think that y'all just don't read my bio anymore either because HUH??

Anyway, don't try to start a fight when you don't know what you're talking about and refuse to read what was actually said. I'm too old, too exhausted, and too busy to keep up with discourse and keep engaging it. Either message me like the adult you claim to be, or stop @ing me like this is high school.

ANYWAYS, trans/nonbinary people, sapphics, lesbians, and those who are a combo of those: I love you, and I'm so sorry some people are such hateful stale pieces of toast that they have to project their insecurities onto you and spew their hate at y'all. You're better than that and them, and you deserve better. Don't listen to their foolishness; they ain't shit 👉🏾😎👉🏾

[foulserpent]

sorry i may be misreading you here but when you say radfem ideology often boils down to 'females are weak delicate and vulnerable’ is that referring to how they conceptualise the extent/source of misogyny towards (cis) women? or do you mean like terf weirdo talking points abt like why trans women shouldn't compete in women's sport because Women Can't Sport or whatever

both. their ideology is dependent on the notion of "sex-based" oppression, which itself is dependent on gender essentialism (that there are innate biological and psychological traits depending on your birth designation), so they ultimately believe that '''females''' (dfab) are physically and psychologically weak and thats why misogyny exists

bc their whole thing is ultimately about hatred towards trans women and denial of trans women's womanhood, they need a reason to justify why trans women are a 'danger' to cis women, at which point they readily veer into right-wing gender essentialism about how ''''females'''' are physically weak and vulnerable and '''''males'''' are biologically superior, except tacking on "and thats how oppression works"

the post was actually commentary on this bullshit, which i didnt want to reblog even for the rebuttal but its absolutely fucking fascinating (cw for descriptions of sexual assault)
