I saw this from the female separatism subreddit & the responses are some of the biggest reasons for separatism et al (or extinction if I'm being candid here). Moids cant be reformed they are fully aware of the hell they force women to live in. MaIe achievement & happiness is rooted in female exploitation & life. Their glory days are based on our horrific days. No amount of love, kindness or facts will change maIes and we cannot happily or even neutrally coexist with them.

Main points across answers:

Many want to experiment but not permanently be women

They dont want to be in constant danger or lose their autonomy at the hands of maIes for merely existing

They dont want to deal with childbirth (& periods)

They dont want to have to share spaces with species much stronger than them with ulterior motives

It makes me go crazy seeing people give moids benefit of doubt for their evil like "maIes just dont understand", "we need to teach maIes", or claiming that maIe violence is a result of maIes struggling with (expressing) their feelings. I get that women love maIes and it can be hard to imagine that people can intentionally be so evil but it is what it is. MaIes have no problems expressing themselves, abusing women is what maIes choose to do because they enjoy & benefit from it - that is their expression.

MaIes see the same news of women being abused, raped, and killed like we do except rather than be disheartened or alarmed they're either apathetic or satisfied. It isn't aliens that's committing GBV it's maIes & maIes have no problem reminding women of this when women anger them (such as rape threats & threatening women they'll end up on the news/true crime). The victim blaming, denial, and derailment of misogyny is part of the game to keep the system alive, they know the events occured & are a systemic occurence they just dont care. Hell not only do they not care, they rejoice in it or get off on it.

MaIes set up environments that work in their favour which simultaneously ensures that women will lose. They know women are set up to live in damn near impossible conditions for us. It's normalised for women to defenselessly share personal & private spaces with beings much more stronger than them with ulterior motives for us, it's trap. It's interesting how these moids aren't saying that they'll just cover up and *poof* harrassment gone, or they'll just pick a nice guy & they'll be okay. MaIes know the net negative they are towards women.

MaIes know that childbirth is a painful process & what do they do? Demand it happens and make it even MORE painful for women. MaIes that impregnate women do not love or care for them. Pregnancy itself is dangerous & sometimes lethal, often comes with a range of health issues, to cause someone to be in that condition especially in a environment where abortions are illegal is reckless & unloving. Now imagine how sinister & full of hatred one has to be to impregnate someone and abuse them on top of that. Many women risk their health & lives to reproduce with a Y and they get abused by said Y instead of being taken care of. Deranged.

Realising that maIes are aware of the evil they inflict is one of the things that radicalised me. It isn't a miscommunication or ignorance issue, their violence is intended. They want control. The cruelty is the point. Instead of wasting time & energy trying to change maIes or hope that they "understand" one day, focus on yourself & other women (who prioritise women). Moids aren't oblivious to female pain they enjoy it. A lot of women treat maIe evil like it's a mistake on maIes part but it's calculated terrorism. I know that this will go over many womens heads as they refuse to hold strong negative sentiments about moids as a collective so if you're not a woman like that, take this post as a sanity check. You aren't crazy, it isn't all in your head.

Fuck it, Emilia Perez is going to win Best Comedy/Musical, isn't it? Jeeezzzz.

I think Conclave is going to win for Drama and while that wasn't my prediction I really enjoyed that movie so I'm not complaining on that front.

Had a really stupid conversation via minor emotional breakdown with a queer friend about what makes an LGBTQ person 'assimilist'. From what she said I'm kind of forced to draw the conclusion 'if you say you're not assimilist, then you're not'.

Playing Bomb rush cyberfunk has been a crazy experience so far because i feel like I've been enjoying the game just as much as I'm not doing so

[welcometoteyvat]

tbh i know ppl have said cn players are speaking up but i don't actually know how true that is lmao. if hoyo took the initiative to make brown people actually real in game maybe they'd learn that pretty characters =/= pale skin but 🧍‍♀️

why i say this is like: (last time i checked) on twitter the english drip marketing has gotten vastly fewer likes/rt's than clorinde, emilie, or sigewinne's etc, while the jp twitter drip and bilibili posts have gotten basically the same amount of likes/shares as 4.7's. also maybe my search keywords are wrong but if you search natlan dark skin/纳塔黑皮 (on bilibili: video sharing site): there are some videos posting edits from twitter, and a fair amt of people comment 'oh this actually looks good' or 'oh not bad' etc, but there are also people just. being straight up racist, a good amount of people just writing this off as global fans organizing drama, and the usual retorts of 'just go play/make another game, genshin's supposed to cater to chinese aesthetics/beauty standards anyways' and im like. 🧍‍♀️

Me: I don't like Sci-fi, space operas, or fantasy. Me: *sees fanart of some characters* Oh these look cool. I wonder why their arm looks like that. Why is that one person dressed in skull attire? I keep seeing these guys everywhere, let's get the book on Audible what could possibly go wrong? Book: *Sci-fi fantasy novel in space* Me:

Glad you were able to go to the Amsterdam show! What was it like perceiving Park Seonghwa in the flesh for a second time? Did you survive the Cyberpunk shoulder move? 😉

Thank you anon!! 😊 I'm glad you ask because now I can just ramble about this ajsushsh. the thing was that this time i was actually close enough to SEE him, like see the sweat on his skin close, because of the extended stage and like. WOW what a man (all of them though they're all so fine and once again i wonder where kq manages to find them). tbh i knew it was over for me when during soundcheck they did say my name and for the last chorus he put sunglasses on and then did the tongue thing he always gets bullied about with this stupid small smirk on his way too handsome face 🥲

the shoulder move yeah....yeah i survived. barely. I usually only have very short and random memories of concerts because of all the adrenaline and whatever but man that's something i do remember Very Clearly. He wasn't even on the extended stage but the main one and yet. just. yeah. user hwanswerland isn't doing well rn bc like he looked EXACTLY obviously like every gif in the black outfit ever but i saw it with my own eyes and i can't believe that. I barely film anything at concerts but i did film his under world part at the end of the song bc I needed to have my own video of it and ASHDUEZDHDUDHDHDHDH. i don't know words I'm sorry he's too powerful

Alison Bechdel has written a huge body of work reflecting on her discomfort and bias against trans women. It is as much a part of her memoir work as her lesbianism or her father's death.

I don't think she's a dyed-in-the-wool TERF in that since the 2000s she's been consistently. discomforted? I think? by her own bigotry, and in most of her work she seems deeply ambivalent about it - whereas many big time TERFs do firmly believe that trans women are Wrong, I think Bechdel's work and interviews suggest she's broadly politically pro-trans but personally deeply uncomfortable with trans women's presence. which to be clear IS transphobia and it IS bad.

like a lot of her direct transphobic statements are put in the mouth of Mo in Dykes To Watch Out For, who is clearly a self-deprecating self-portrait. Mo is transphobic in the same way she's neurotic, egotistical and holier-than-thou - at least as far as I can tell, these are things Bechdel knows to be true about herself and doesn't like about herself.

Both in DTWOF and her directly autobiographical work, there's a real tension between her transphobic opinions and the worlds she writes which don't at all validate her opinions. The stories dealing with trans characters in Dykes To Watch Out For, for example, definitely seem to be designed to repudiate Mo's transphobia, which in the context of how Bechdel seems to relate to the text is interesting.

Someone in another reblog chain said that Bechdel has a sort of liberal winemom transphobia - I support trans women but not in any material way and not near me - which I don't think is unfair. I think she's got an attitude common to a lot of cis feminists her age who I've met, which is Transphobic But Also Knows Transphobia Is Bad And Has A Lot Of Messy Feelings About It.

which is to say I don't think it's necessarily fair to call her a complete TERF, partially because based on her work, I do think that she was a full on TERF in the 80 and 90s and spent the late 90s and early 2000s trying to reckon with that and hear out her trans friends more. Because of that though I also don't think she's a great trans advocate or anything - she's clearly still got a lot of transphobia, and quite importantly she retains a lot of affection and social connections among other 80s and 90s TERFs so although she is trying to be trans-positive she's also definitely still tied up in that trans-exclusionary lesbian separatist culture.

ie she's both pro-trans (in an abstract and general sense and in the sense that she's aware that her bigotry is not rooted in rational fact, and she's vocal about the fact that transphobia isn't a reflection of an actual threat from trans people) and transphobic (in that a lot of her politics and discomforts are rooted in the Michfest TERF scene and she's not nearly far along enough the process of unlearning that shit, which comes out in her sympathies for committed TERFs much more recently and in her ongoing discomfort with trans people interpersonally). most of her work and public persona are about being in conflict with yourself and tbh this is a conflict a lot of people are constantly working through - 'my rational and political outlook says one thing but my biases and anxieties say the opposite, very loudly, and I'm aware of both conflicting ideas at once'.

it's better to know that a shitty belief you hold is shitty than it is to uncritically accept it as true. it also doesn't absolve you of having to push back against that shitty belief, try and get out of it, and avoid acting on it. Bechdel is not a good role model for trans acceptance; she's also not someone who's uncritical of transphobia; she's got a lot of blind spots and there's no reason why the transphobia she does hold should be ignored or immune from critique.

Alison Bechdel is openly pro-trans are you on meth

then why was she at michfest when trans people were protesting it? and why does she hang around with terfs? why was she praising a terf in her 2017 obituary and claiming that it was good that Michfest was free of the "male socialised".

like you can look all this shit up. drawing a couple cartoons that say "i guess i dont mind pissign next to trannies" doesn't like... overwrite a lifetime of befriending terfs & dismissing genderqueer lesbians & ignoring trans women protesting your precious Real Wombyn's Music Festival.

like... why is it so unbelievable that somebody who says they are pro trans is actually transphobic? i mean... the fucking president of the united states says he's pro trans. IS he?
