The male sex was a mistake.

Men love rape. It's their nature.

The reason I've stopped "educating" men on consent is that I realized they already know: they just do not care.

It's impossibile during a sexual encounter to not get that the vibe is off. A grown man understands that if you're crying, in pain or completely silent, you aren't enjoying it. You can feel when your partner isn't enjoying herself. I am above teaching a man who can do taxes or drive a car that if a girl tells you she doesn't want to fuck you it actually means that she really doesn't want to fuck you. They see you're uncomfortable or in pain, but they don't give an eff because for them you're just an object. They don't care about how uncomfortable or in pain your are the same way I don't care about how overheated my computer is as long as my videogame is running. As long as they get off, they don't care how bad it is for you. Men who would never rape anyone don't need to get educated on when it's rape, because it's obvious. Those arguing with you about what's rape and what isn't already know, they just want to confuse you, so you don't know when to press charges or call law enforcement when it happens.

Stop wasting your time. They know. They just don't care.

Even though I don't fully agree with blackpill, I still see its merit and points — just like radical feminism at its essence. Having said that, treating a group of people like they're not human beings should ever be something worth considering

Comic I made out of a tumblr post of mine that went viral. (Christians keep your grubby little hands off if it. It doesn’t mean what you think it means.) this will go into Backbone 8 and I’m trying to get into making more comics with the help of a book that teaches you how to draw clothes.

Rad fems of Tumblr! I have to ask, what are your "rad fem sins"? I'm referring to things that don't exactly align with our ideology but they're habits we still enjoy and take part in. I'll start:

Listening to Lana del Rey and some other artists

Being extremely interested in male centered motosports

Wearing mascara and brow gel from time to time

Working out partially for aesthetic reasons (although I'm heavily focused on my physical and mental health)

Often finding celebrities and fictional men attractive/simping (I guess you could call it that)

Reading fan fiction (ultimate guilty pleasure 😭)

Reading books from male authors

At the end of the day, we're just people, imperfect and flawed, and some habits are really hard to get rid of while making life from day to day a bit more enjoyable. Of course, it's good to try to limit them, but it's okay to still enjoy them. So to all the baby radfems feeling bad about not being the perfect female separatists, I see you, I hear you, and I'm with you, because nobody is perfect and what matters the most is effort. You're doing just fine.

"Violence against women is generally a reaction to women's position in society today and controlling the last parts that can be controlled,"

Choose the sandal, ladies.

The new Barbie film makes light of a serious topic within women's lives:

👠 Accept the traditional role of femininity and remain in ignorance of the dehumanization it perpetuates

OR

🩴 Become enlightened to oppressive rituals society conditions females into to assume such a role

Most women choose the former. Be the enlightened woman! Choose the sandal.

I am repeating myself but y’all are missing how sexualised and pedophilic Cain’s words are. I am deeply, deeply disturbed by how he’s obsessed with girlhood and used physical traits of adult women as an insult. I am disturbed by the very fetish-specific language (I’m sorry, breeding? Like for cattle? Referred to pre-pubescent girls?).

This man reeks of porn addiction.

[studyingnstruggling]

finding out that one of my co workers is also gc (despite not being into politics) and sharing that anger/understanding that the trans cult harms women, the lgb, and kids, has been liberating for me. it’s great to connect with women irl, who you can share your ideas with. especially when they’re unafraid to speak their mind. She told me about the time she yelled at a tim for being in the women’s bathroom while she was babysitting two girls 😭 a true badass!

I am once again on tumblr begging women to send me pieces for a radical feminist zine!

Backbone has been around since 2019 but we haven’t put out a new issue in quite some time. I am currently going through emails with old submissions and editing them together and am up to 22 pages, which is getting there but isn’t quite enough to start printing. We are a little heavy on poetry right now, but can always use more art (keep in mind we print in black and white). I’m currently looking for essays, short stories, opinion pieces, current events, historical events, anything and everything as long as a woman wrote it. We even had crossword puzzles for a while! I beg you, send me your writing and art so I can get this mf zine out! We will be getting t-shirts made again to help promote, with new art, and they were wildly popular last time we made them. Hit me up ladies! Let our voices be heard! If you don’t have anything to submit please at least reblog and bump so this gets around!

Me:

can you list me arguments, for the validity of this conserns for Trans activism?

Chatgpt:

Here’s a list of arguments that support the validity of concerns some biological women have regarding certain aspects of trans activism. These arguments aim to articulate why these concerns might be viewed as legitimate by those raising them:

### **1. Access to Women-Only Spaces**

- **Privacy and Safety:** Women’s shelters, bathrooms, and locker rooms were established to protect biological women from male violence and provide spaces free from male presence. Allowing access based solely on gender identity may increase risks, especially if policies are exploited by bad actors.

- **Trauma Considerations:** Women who are survivors of sexual violence may feel unsafe or retraumatized by sharing intimate spaces with anyone they perceive as male-bodied, regardless of that person's gender identity.

---

### **2. Fairness in Sports**

- **Biological Advantages:** Scientific studies suggest that trans women who have gone through male puberty retain physical advantages, such as increased muscle mass, lung capacity, and bone density, even after hormone therapy. These advantages can create unfair competition in women’s sports.

- **Loss of Opportunities:** Biological women may lose scholarships, titles, or careers in sports if they compete against trans women with physical advantages.

---

### **3. Erosion of Sex-Based Language**

- **Impact on Advocacy:** Redefining terms like "woman" to include trans women may dilute the ability to address sex-specific issues, such as reproductive rights, female genital mutilation, or pay inequity, which affect biological women specifically.

- **Loss of Visibility:** Language changes, such as using “pregnant people” instead of “pregnant women,” might make biological women feel erased in discussions about their unique health and social challenges.

---

### **4. Risks of Suppressing Dissent**

- **Chilling Effect on Free Speech:** Women who raise concerns about the impact of trans activism on sex-based rights often face social ostracism, harassment, or job loss, discouraging open discussion.

- **Alienation from Feminism:** Many feminists who prioritize sex-based rights feel excluded or vilified within feminist spaces dominated by gender-identity-focused activism.

---

### **5. Safety in Shelters and Prisons**

- **Increased Vulnerability:** Cases have been documented where biological women in shelters or prisons were assaulted by trans women, especially individuals with intact male anatomy.

- **Policy Exploitation:** Open-access policies might be abused by non-trans individuals claiming a gender identity to gain access to these spaces.

---

### **6. Concerns About Medicalization**

- **Impact on Young Girls:** Some fear that gender self-identification policies may lead to young girls exploring their identity through medical transition without adequate safeguards or understanding of long-term consequences.

- **Focus on Social Factors:** Critics argue that societal pressures or trauma (e.g., discomfort with puberty or misogyny) influencing girls to identify as trans are not adequately addressed, leading to potentially irreversible medical interventions.

---

### **7. Resource Allocation**

- **Stretching Limited Resources:** In some contexts, resources originally designated for biological women, such as shelters or scholarships, are reallocated to include trans women, potentially disadvantaging biological women in need.

- **Healthcare Prioritization:** Critics worry that medical resources (e.g., funding, research) could shift focus from women’s health issues, like breast cancer or maternal mortality, to gender-related treatments.

---

### **8. Misalignment with Sex-Based Oppression**

- **Neglect of Biological Realities:** Sex-based oppression, such as violence, reproductive exploitation, or societal restrictions, is rooted in biological differences. Broadening the definition of "woman" might dilute efforts to address these specific issues.

- **Conflict of Interests:** Policies based on gender identity may unintentionally undermine protections built to combat sex-based discrimination.

---

### Supporting Examples and Evidence

1. **Documented Cases of Misuse:**

- Reports of individuals abusing gender identity policies to access women-only spaces for harmful purposes.

2. **Sports Disparities:**

- Examples of trans women outperforming cisgender women in sports due to retained physical advantages.

3. **Language Impact:**

- Controversies over terms like “pregnant people” leading to backlash from women who feel excluded from discourse.

---

### The Argument for Careful Consideration

These concerns don’t imply opposition to trans rights but highlight areas where competing interests between sex-based rights and gender identity rights arise. Validating these concerns doesn’t negate the struggles of trans individuals but instead calls for nuanced policies and discussions that respect both groups.
