Tsunami TransMasc 【🌊】 A term for individuals who are TransMasculine and are PAMiC (LINK). This may be due to a visual transition, a person having experiences of being PAMiC in their life, a person who was previously PAMiC, or any other fitting experience. Keep in mind that one's PAMiC status does not have to be in the present.

The TSUNAMI symbol is meant to represent one's own upcoming throughout life, pain and healing, trans perseverance, and intersex libertation. One does not have to be intersex to use the term at all, whatsoever — the term is supposed to be heavily inclusive of intersex folks.

I apologize for the use of blue for the masculine term, but given that the term is connected to systemic/social perceivance of gender/sex, I think it's symbolic to go with the Most Commonly Associated colour (and I didn't notice this until a few moments before finishing the flag, I was focusing more on the ocean rather than blue itself). Any ALT flags are highly welcomed.

Note: Inspired by "CoffeeBean TransMasc" (LINK), as well as other similar terms, but using my own set of sex&gender perceivance instead of "AMAB"/"OMAB" (appropriates intersex terminology / too similar to intersex terminology). No shade to originals, I actually think the OG terms are very important, but the AGAB/OGAB thing really bothers me. Anyways, this may be used by everyone and anyone who has the experiences that match the term and wishes to use this — those on my "Warnings" post may use this term and flag, but I will block as I deem fit. Please enjoy!

Anyone may use my terms and flags, however, I will block as I deem fit for my wellbeing. Please only post this to WIKIs with appropriate crediting towards me. Do not repost to any other social platforms, ONLY WIKI PAGES. Thank you.

One person was banned almost immediately.

The other person was not banned until they made another post revealing that they were posting videos of their partner.

One person was harassed and bullied and told that they were lying.

One person was given advice, told about how they could improve their situation.

This is why kink is not safe. There is more compassion and kindness for someone who admits to wanting to kick their partner in the face than there is for someone who has received that treatment.

“Sex essentialist!!!!”

Okay, “uterus haver, ovary owner, bleeder, pregnant person, front hole” believer. You got me there fr.

"Allowing girls as young as nine to marry", The Standard can fuck off with the phrasing of this headline.

Iraq passes law allowing men to legally marry and rape girls as young as nine.

Under Muslim and male supremacist rule women and girls in Afghanistan and Iran completely lost all of their human rights, and this is currently happening in Iraq.

Profanity and Misogyny

"Motherfucker", "cunt" , "bitch", "Whore" etc. are words that are so commonly used in colloquial language that one almost forgets the nuance attached to them. In almost every language there exist a myriad of swear words that refer to the degradation of the female vagina. A woman's sex is seen as her badge of shame and if she has control over her it then she has become astray from the path of the virtue.

"To insult a man, you insult his woman". I remember awkwardly shuffling in my seat, getting very uncomfortable when male peers would call each other "motherfucker" or "cunts" so casually. A woman much older than them was reduced to her sex, a tool to insult their friends. My sex- the organ that I was born with- was a sign of weakness. If you are meek or a coward you are a "pussy". In my language, I could never find the word equivalent of vagina, for it was too sexualised to use in society. Before I was even old enough to understand the workings of my body, a organ that I had been born with was left redundant to its function to please a man-villified by porn.

"Fuck" is seen as an insult because men consider sex a defiling act that takes away the dignity of the woman. Another misogynistic implication is the term "deflowering"; having sex takes away her innocence. After sex, the woman is not a human to them but a "cunt". The sexual paraphernalia of a woman is associated with purity. There is such a huge emphasis that is put on the concept of virginity, because it brings control to the patriarchal society over a woman's autonomy.

The sexual liberation of 70s was brought as a rebellion to these norms- young women were groomed into thinking that sex is empowering. Hookup culture also emerged as an aftereffect of the sexual liberation. The politics of a woman's sex is argued all day while the male penis remains as a neutral organ despite having been a tool to oppress women.

Sex is a completely neutral act of pleasure that is neither degrading nor empowering. However, this statement would only exist in a vacuum. Men use sex as a form of violence upon women-rape is a political tool. For women to take back control of their sexual autonomy, they must acknowledge the politics of sex-or lack thereof. Selectively choosing whom you are having sex with is the first step.

I implore everyone to stop using degrading profanities that have misogynistic connotations. When others around me --especially men-- use these swear words, I ask them why their insults always involve a woman to be degraded and humiliated. Not acting as an accompalice to patriarchy, not keeping quiet against the patriarchal violence and spreading word against misogyny is the best silent mutiny.

Volcanic Eruption Transfem 【🌋】 A term for individuals who are TransFeminine and are PAFIC (LINK). This may be due to a visual transition, a person having experiences of being PAFIC in their life, a person who was previously PAFIC, or any other fitting experience. Keep in mind that one's PAFIC status does not have to be in the present.

The VOLCANIC ERUPTION symbol is meant to represent one's own upcoming throughout life, pain and healing, trans perseverance, and intersex libertation. One does not have to be intersex to use the term at all, whatsoever — the term is supposed to be heavily inclusive of intersex folks.

Similarly to my OceanFloor Transmasc flag, I think using the colours commonly associated with female sex/gender is also fitting, given the "perceivance" meaning of this term. I was mindlessly going with lava symbolism, and only realized this after finishing the flag. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, and I am open to ALT flags.

Just some TiMs casually fantasising about humiliating and raping feminists and lesbians.

They say they "don't feel safe," around radfems, while imagining ways to demean and humiliate us.

This is why we want spaces where we can avoid rape and abuse fetishists. This is why we don't want to be exposed to males in environments where we should be protected.

Stay safe out there guys.

[dykeiism]

i feel inclined to differentiate between "reasonable rights and accommodations that should be given to trans people" and "blatant attacks on women's rights." i'll go as far as to say that most radical feminists will agree with me on most of these points, so if you want to learn about what radfems actually believe, this is your chance.

reasonable rights and accommodations for trans people:

equal opportunities for employment and housing

access to affordable and high-quality healthcare

transparent, unbiased, and publicly accessible research & meta-analysis done on the short- and long- term risks and benefits of gender affirming care

outlaw all forms of conversion therapy. outlaw gender exploratory therapy unless the patient is able to give informed consent. enforce strict science-based regulations on the therapeutic methods used

freedom of expression (i.e. the ability to dress however you like, and to use a preferred name)

widespread implementation of co-ed and trans-only spaces

legal protection against harassment and assault

these are all things that i, and many other radical feminists, wholeheartedly support. we also believe that trans people, like everyone else, deserve dignity, respect, sensitivity, and kindness from the people around them. what i'm seeing more and more of in recent years, though, is that the trans movement is no longer focusing on the aforementioned human rights. instead, i see an overwhelming about of trans activists making unreasonable demands that infringe on the rights of women. the demands are as follows:

the right to enter women-only spaces based solely on gender identity or expression (this includes shelters, prisons, locker rooms, and sports teams)

the ability to access medical transition as a minor under any circumstances, or as an adult unless other treatments have proven unsuccessful beforehand

widespread use of language that destabilizes women and female people as coherent groups that are also in need of rights

deplatforming anyone who criticizes the movement, no matter how polite, respectful, good-faith, or reasonable the criticisms are

i support the trans movement that advocates for the human rights of trans individuals. however, i cannot support a movement that allows males into women's spaces, that is medically irresponsible, that makes it impossible to discuss women's rights, or that opposes intellectual freedom. i don't think any feminist can support this in good conscience.

me trying to telepathically transmit female class solidarity to this person:

[femanthropy]

EDIT: (also my phone I think translated it for me automatically which I wasn’t aware of Being A Thing)

I’d also like to mention I don’t think this is a transgender issue but I’m also torn as to how this got through “unnoticed” or there weren’t repercussions in Algeria because of the attitude toward transgender people there.

Even if we assume she was raised female because of the particular DSD Khelif has, I’m not sure why it was not picked up during puberty.

Edit 2: (lol) I will remove the reduxx link from this as I’ve been informed (thank you🩵) that it is not a reliable source. I have been seeing other articles on this topic since I saw the original, but for the moment I’m gonna leave this post be.

I have other posts on my pinned post on the Khelif controversy about the topic.

[fembrie]

honestly, rape is not illegal.

if your chances of being convicted of rape are less than 1% (given that it was even reported in the first place), if the chances of a rape victim seeing justice are the equivalent of winning the lottery, you cannot argue society treats rape as a crime. rape is a man's right under a patriarchal system of justice.
