#stop supporting TERFs

[serotonin-nitrate]

Y’all are just complaining to complain at this point. I understand the anorexic issue. I’ve dealt with proana shit frequently, and I’m recovering from bulimia and anorexia every day, but the makeup and the reclaiming of the term bimbo? Y’all find issue with that???? Y’all got TERFS on this post going hogwild. What is wrong with you? You’re so fucking backwards, shitting on how “being a woman shouldn’t be a performance” while you dumb fucks “perform” what being a “””””real woman””””” is supposed to look like. Shut up.

What is wrong with women reclaiming a word that’s been used against them for decades? What’s wrong with women claiming make-up as being empowering to them? God forbid a girl put on make-up for themselves. God forbid a sex worker actually enjoy getting dolled up. How dare. Let’s clutch our pearls and shake our heads at these disgusting harlots for being silly goofy and turning their “airheadedness” into satire for money.

Feminism does not equal “women that wear big hoodies and messy buns that don’t shave their body and never wear makeup.” Y’all are so fucking unhinged, it’s hilarious. I think maybe you should mind your fucking business and stop catering to TERFS and “””purity””” culture bullshit.

Buncha whiny babies rolling around in their own shitty diapers over heavy makeup, big boobs, and some low rise jeans. Good lord. Get a life.

ppl "reclaiming" bimbo and that one girl on ig who explains complex theory "for the girls" by using shopping metaphors and the neverending "actually my makeup empowers me" argument and "ur just mad ur brows are sloppy" and "girl dinner" and the return of low rise jeans and heroin chic being "in" again and and and-

At this point and up until the elections are over and the results are announced

I think that we should just call a spade a spade.

Anyone and everyone who is neigh-saying Kamala?

They're a Trump supporter.

Anyone and everyone who is a centrist, a "let's see both sides of things right now" type of person?

Trump supporter.

Anyone calling for people to "vote third party" right now?

Trump supporters.

Anyone calling for people to "just not vote" ?

Those are Trump supporters.

Because there are two really hard to swallow facts you need to hear:

#1.) This is, without a doubt, going to be the most important and instrumental election in American history.

#2.) Like it or not, the American Political System is a two party race. It wasn't supposed to be, sure.

But for right now it is. There's no ifs and or buts about it. The system is set up so that a third party candidate cannot win.

Every single vote that isn't counted for Kamala is a vote for Trump.

I don't care how leftist, or how progressive you think you are, if you're not willing to vote for Kamala then you're a Trump supporter.

If you are not loudly rallying behind and supporting Kamala, who is very likely our one and only chance of hope and progress, then you should either be quiet about it or else you are a Trump supporter.

If you're not willing to be an active participant in our society with how it works right now, then sit down and shut up and don't complain about anything.

If you think that they’re both equally bad then you must be privileged enough to feel safe in Trump’s America.

It’s a privilege for you to even consider voting third party or to consider throwing your vote away and not using it. It’s entitlement.

You feel safe saying that they’re the same.

But for us poor people, us queer and trans people, us disabled people, and for people of colour, for Palestinians and Ukrainians, and so so many more people, Trump’s America would not be safe.

Kamala could be our only chance at preserving our democracy and if you're not supporting her just for the sake of your own selfish performative white knighting about your "morals" trying to make yourself look good?

Then the only person you're benefiting is Trump.

So you're a Trump supporter.

If being called that doesn't feel good to you then maybe analyse why that is.

If being called a Trump supporter makes you upset, stop doing things that support him.

It’s crazy how much people will tell on themselves by being openly transmisogynistic in trying to “gotcha” completely mundane feminist/sapphic shit with “idk this seems kinda terfy to me :/”

There’s that vintage lesbian sex party invite going around and someone is actually claiming the fact that is specifies “women only” means it’s terfy. Can we fucking… can we… like. How can you people not go two minutes without implying you think trans women are men. It’s crazy. Sorry but we have no idea, actually, how inclusive or exclusive this random lesbian orgy from the 70s was, and just saying it’s “women only” doesn’t indicate anything other than it’s, y’know, a lesbian sex party.

TERFs: yes of course we'll listen to you (intersex person). unlike those TRAs that only want to use you!!

also TERFs: you have a DSD whats it like having a DSD yes i support the DSD community what do you mean DSD in an offensive term im the #1 DSD ally

@kaeyacvnts

[ID: comment: kaeyacvnts21. Juli @scentedluminarysoul  there are in fact preteens who do get surgery, including transgender teens who get gender-affirming surgeries. jazz jennings, for example, is a famous example of a trans teen who had surgeries done before 18. ID end.]

No, there aren’t. Well, intersex children get forced into surgery without consent, but I don’t count those. Because they’re forced by their cis parents to look more cis, and often don’t even know.

Show me some evidence, if you’re so willing to support TERFs.

Or are you confused about what “preteen” means? Do you think it means “under 18″? Maybe look up words.

Well would you look at this. 😵‍💫 Because obviously if you dare say anything as wild and controversial as “lesbians don’t like men, please stop using a label that hurts us and tries to force men into our identity” you’re a raging terf radfem transmisogynist. Because obviously ONLY trans women use the bi lesbian label and it’s not like there are transfem lesbians who are rightfully against the label as well or anything and it’s not like terfs use the label to refer to cis lesbians who date trans women and why can’t you just let people identify as how they want of course lesbians like men stop the infighting already if you disagree with me that lesbians can like men then surely that’s because you’re an exclusionist gatekeeper who hates trans women.

If you support endos, you're supporting me too.

”What is wrong with this generation” First of all, you are, and SECOND of all, you are. That’s it that’s the post.

One time in college I had to have an mri when I was getting diagnosed with my hearing loss, and anyway I’m mildly allergic to mri contrast. And the way I react to it is EXTREME nausea. And so I went to dinner with my friends afterwards and one of them took my wallet to fuck with me. Normal par for the course I was mostly friends with men who fuck with each other like that often.

Except I started getting sick so I was like “haha funny but I’m actually really sick can I have it back so I can leave, any other time you can do this please just let me have it back.” and they WOULD NOT RETURN IT. And finally after about an hour of this I was literally sobbing at the table begging for it back and nobody except the person who initially took it was trying to help me because she realized it was fucked up, and when we eventually deduced who had it, I kicked him hard as fuck in the shin until he gave it back, went to my car, and immediately vomited everywhere. And then everyone involved actively refused to apologize.

I’m constantly trying to figure out if I am a bad person and that’s why I find myself in these situations often, or if I am just an easy target or if the truth lies somewhere in the middle. And I don’t think I’ll ever know. But these were people I considered my friends, I ate dinner with them every single night. And they still decided to bully me for an hour because they could. So maybe it doesn’t matter if I am sometimes a little short, or sometimes a little annoying. Maybe sometimes people are just cruel, and there’s nothing anybody can do about it. But that’s a little depressing so idk. I just find myself reflecting on this specific situation privately quite often. Because i can never figure out why it happened.

Anyway I just think that’s really fucked up. Like. Why would you do that to someone what the fuck????

I have a feeling my mom is slowly falling down an alt right/radfem pipeline on tik tok and it's scaring me

[scentedluminarysoul]

JK Rowling is now sharing blatantly anti LGBTQ+ articles. JKR is a run of the mill homophobe. Find a new book to read

This article btw?

Says that this is BAD:

“Ad hominem and ad feminam attacks on professionals who believe homosexuality/transgenderism is an illness or who use pathologising language to make sense of homosexuality/transgenderism.

It's BAD that we push back on "professionals" who say homosexuality is an illness

It's also bad to not try and change your sexuality/gender:

“Underscoring the difficult, if not impossible task of changing a sexual orientation/gender identity, even through psychotherapeutic means;

JKR is a homophobe

[llycaons]

I don't actually have a strong sense of the aro/ace inclusionist tumblr cultural climate rn except like 'guyyys we were so mean to them :( let's let them in now come on' or like....really agressive and condescending posts asserting their validity and ~obvious~ inclusion in the lgbt community without any genuine followthrough or explanation

[shmowder]

just need to vent about the Olympics

Hp stans stop posting your bullshit in the anti-jkr tags challenge go ‼️‼️

[majoringinsarcasm]

The thing about TERFs is that they’ll talk about the issues women face and how things are unfair or not designed with women in mind and how society was shaped around men and how it still is like that in many many places.

But instead of seeing that as a system that needs to be changed, they take all of that as Inherent and Biological when that’s not the case. And in fact is just adhering to what the system has been from the start.

More rambling underneath idk I’ve just been thinking about stuff lately

“Men are born hating women. They are born with this instinct to harass and assault and it’s only a matter of time before they do. You cannot transition into a women because you are not socialized the same was a them. You didn’t suffer what they suffered. You don’t know all the True Ways of being a women so anything you do is a mockery.”

And I just have to wonder. Who taught you about women hood? I don’t mean what did society tell you or show you. Who taught you as an individual why being a woman meant To Them.

Because there are a lot of women in this world who wake up and are so happy to be women. Who feel pride in not just their body but their mind and goals and ideals and dreams. Who see womanhood as something to strive towards. Not one thing to earn by doing the right things but panting to gain For The Self. The way they carry themselves and treat others, the way they see and want to shape the world.

I am not cis, but not because I was scared or felt that I was failing at being a girl. I didn’t feel like one. All of that Inherent and Biological stuff I was meant to feel as a girl and future women wasn’t clicking. All the talking points that TERFs and transphobes make about this or that. It wasn’t clicking. I was a Girl no doubt, because I wasn’t a boy and those were my only options. And it was fine for me because I wasn’t taught to hate it. I was surrounded by women who enjoyed being women. I don’t reject my upbringing bc it’s the only one I had. It was fine because My Life more or less wasn’t filled with that kind of suffering.

I do not define my identity by suffering. I tried to once and that almost killed me. I was taught by other queer people that I had to hate my body or I wasn’t really trans. I’ve never been assaulted for being queer but I’m not out at work. I don’t feel safe and I know I don’t look any different. It took me ages to just be okay with My Body being a trans body I’m not sure when I’ll be ready to take that next step. But I’ll make it in my on time if I ever do.

But I’m trans bc I LACK the euphoria of being a woman. There is no joy or pride. I was a Weird Girl bc no other word existed for me back then. I was a human but a girl. I was a person but a girl. And when I discovered there were other words I felt happy. I didn’t need to be a Different from the rest girl or a Late Blooming girl. Nonbinary came along. Trans came along. Agender came along. I had new words to try out and they fit me in the way Weird Girl no longer needed to act as a placeholder.

I say All of this just to reiterate how stupid those biological talking points are. On both sides mind you because the queer community from what I’ve seen is not kind to AMAB people and that upsetting. Because there is no inherent evil of birth sex or body. There is no way to tell who is Good and Safe and who is Harmful other than their actions. This is not me ignoring society structure. This is me saying that

“You don’t know my pain so you’re not a real X”

Sounds a lot like

“If all you need to be X is the desire and genuine euphoria with identifying as such to the point of choosing a scary series of events and possible hatred from others, all because you will be happy at the end of the road, then My suffering doesn’t mean I’m worthy of this title. I am just someone who suffered.”

And it’s fucked up the way we live now. And there is no blank slate. And we STILL act as a group on these issues. But it doesn’t need to stay that way. We as individuals can make that change day by day until we don’t need to fear or resent each other to feel safe. Where we won’t have to fight over scraps. But we won’t get there by listening to people who wish us harm or who make up criteria that even other cis people don’t meet.
