#little girls into terfs

[hotpinkcyanmillie]

Making the left kinder and more empathetic should always be a goal we strive to attain but I think we do more damage than harm by pretending people, even young people, do not frequently choose to participate in systems of oppression explicitly because of the way that that participation benefits them. If you don’t acknowledge the problems for what they are, the reality for what it is, you will not come up with solutions that will actually work. 

I genuinely don’t believe there’d be a dip in people like Tate’s popularity if we cut the anti-men shit in Half. Its important to curb sure. But its not relevant Here, in This context.

GOT! Karlach's experience of gender is getting sometimes sir'd, sometimes ma'am'd, often stuttered at fearfully, and approached by chasers on Both sides of the transgender experience

of course terfs would get mad at a post reminding them that there’s more to being a woman than misery and suffering: they’re misogynists. they hate women. their misogyny is just the ‘woke’ kind where they re-enforce the idea that women are weaker and stupider and generally less capable compared to men but like, in a ‘feminist’ way 🤪💅

when you hate women and genuinely believe they are inferior, that they are lesser, it’s impossible to see that there’s any joy or pride or anything positive about being a woman. especially if you yourself are a woman who believes in this kind of self-deprecating mindset.

for anyone wondering about current public opinion on trans ppl in the uk, tories have #boycottcostacoffee trending on twitter bc this mural put on a random costa express van for brighton pride last year shows a person w/ top surgery scars and apparantly thats 'glorifying the irreversible mutilation of young women's bodies', so yeah, we're doing great (:

why does tumblr keep recommending me terfs- what am i doing wrong?

[vinecoveredgarden]

I try to understand the viewpoints of people different to me, because I think it's very important to know how bigotry works so I don't accidentally fall into it myself.

I understand, on some level, how a lot of bigotry works. Racism, sexism, homophbia...but one I can't quite understand is Trans-Inclusive Radical Feminism.

RadFem beliefs are built on the idea that "Man = Bad, Woman = Good", right? And, by extension, TERF (Trans-Exclusive RadFem) is a stance where a Trans Woman is "just a predatory man trying to invade women's spaces". (We're not gonna mention the way they treat trans men because 1: I don't have as much experience learning about that one and 2: It isn't as relevant here).

That's a pretty simple conclusion to make, right? Incorrect, definitely, but simple. If "men are all evil and abusive" is your belief, then "trans women are just men trying to prey on women" is a pretty easy conclusion to come to, I feel.

But TIRF ideology seems a little less simple. To a TIRF, anyone with a penis is evil and predatory and abusive...UNLESS they claim to be trans? Like, if you believe men are all those horrible things, wouldn't you be a little suspicious when a biologically male individual comes up to you and says "But I'm actually a woman, you can trust me!"

Is it like with transmeds and shit where you have to be the "right" kind of trans? Do I have some misunderstanding of the ideology? I don't get where it comes from tbh.

i need tumblr to understand that asking me, like...once a month or whatever to get tumblr premium or whatever it's called actively makes me LESS likely to buy it than i already was. we have moved from a position of zero likelihood to negative likelihood. are we aiming for a loop around? what is the plan here?

[steviecrowdude]

I have seen far too many aphobic posts now that either hate sex repulsed aces for "giving the community a bad name" or whatever, or hate sex favorable aces for like, being fine with sex.

Hey aphobes, aspec labels are about attraction not. What we are comfortable with or enjoy doing.

God yall are just fucking rancid.

Leave aspec people alone if you wanna hate so bad.

[booblywooblies]

posting this here bc ive put this topic on my main enough for today

its not directly related to what ive been talking about but i keep thinking about how people say stuff like "terfs never target trans mascs because they want to convert them" and its like, does anyone have any idea how horribly sexually predatory terfs actually are to trans mascs? like i wouldnt expect anyone to go looking for what terfs actually talk about but the shit they say about fetishizing trans mascs, infiltrating trans spaces specifically to prey on them, forcing them to detransition, rape, its not good.

and then they turn around and call gay trans men fetishizing rapists

and like i dont dig that deep into terf blogs sometimes i go through them because i like to update shinigami eyes and get some blocklist coverage and this stuff is not hard to find, theyre posting this stuff in their bios and pinned.

[aholotte]

the worst genre of "he would not fucking say that" is when people use characters to spout bigoted opinions

"Moon Man" (that's MAC TONIGHT to you) is NOT a member of the KKK. Asuka isn't a Nazi. Your favorite anime girl would not support Donald Trump. My Melody and Kuromi aren't TERFs. stop this madness.

[lilyliveredlittlerichboy]

kinda wanna blow some terfs minds by telling them that i, an afab, also identify as a trans woman. woman but in a trans way

[seagodofmagic]

most of the discourse on here is stupid and i have a real life where i engage meaningfully with these things offline but it's incredibly depressing to see people attacking trans men for wanting to use a word other than "misogyny" to describe their often violent and specific oppression

[dimonds456]

hey tumblr, thanks for recommending me a TERF post "based on my likes." I hope the hour I spent blocking as many people as I could bear in the notes is enough of a hint for you.

[chartreuxcatz]

Okay I think I have it figured out now.

I am a girl. But being a girl is relatively low on my list of priorities in terms of things I identify as/with.

[feral-radfem]

@tattered-cynic is a moid orbiter who thinks that he gets to be an authority on what we speak about in radfem spaces, who gets to speak, and who needs to be questioned. He is also acting very suspiciously about a little girl leaving our space and insists he calls her a woman as "a sign of respect". I'm sure I'm not the only radfem who can see the issue with that. Like thats a version of 'you're so mature for your age'. It's gross.

Anyways, I wasn't going to make this post but he's acting hella weird so I figured it couldn't hurt. I'm not saying he's doing anything wrong (that I can prove) but do we really need 30-year-old males in our spaces in the first place? I honestly don't think we do, gyns.

Also, @tattered-cynic:

It was cute that you thought you could tell me who my enemies are, and that it excluded you, but I assure you it does not. You are my enemy.
