#terfs + radfems dni

[chaos-in-one]

If you are out there saying misogyny is less serious of an issue than other forms of oppression,,, chances are you are in fact a misogynyst yourself whose just trying to downplay the seriousness of misogyny by comparing it to other issues that it shouldn’t be compared to to justify not taking it seriously, just saying. Misogyny is a very big issue and should be treated as such, it shouldn’t be compared to other forms of oppression, and the only reason it’s seen as “less bad” is because it’s so deeply engrained in society that a lot of people (especially the people I’m talking about in this post) don’t even recognize misogynistic things for what they are.

so, assuming we all know about how biphobes like to say bi women who date other women try to make them more like men since what they really want is a boyfriend, as well as how transphobes like to infantilize trans men in order to argue against their existence, i'm reluctantly here to tell you that TERFs have taken a new step with integrating these sentiments on twitter today:

link for context

that's right, you read correctly! the ones who are now pressuring our young girls (usually GNC lesbians) into mutilating their bodies are none other than... bi women! because that totally makes sense!

anyway, bi women & trans men need to stick together more than ever. 🤝 the rest of the queer community hates us both endlessly and we have a lot of overlap in that our issues aren't taken seriously enough. as a transmasc bisexual myself, this is the only true way.

I love it when women hate men. I love it when women are allowed to vent to each other about how horrible and creepy men are. I love it when women form friendships with and prioritize each other over relationships with men(whether they're attracted to them or not). I love it when women put men dni in their bios and on their nude photos and on posts on their blogs. I love it when women refuse to mollycoddle and accommodate entitled male feelings with "but this doesn't mean I hate all men, I know a few men who are great, I love my father/sons/brothers/uncles/male cousins/guy friends" I love it when women complain about men WITHOUT "not all men" being a disclaimer. I love it when women avoid socializing with/refuse to be around/befriend/get close to men because they know men can't be trusted. I love it when women make "kill all men" jokes. I love it when women offer absolutely no concern or care for men's feelings and if their misandry offends men whatsoever because why should we, men are the oppressor class who have raped and killed and abused us and kept us as subjugated as second-class citizens for millennia, they regularly mistreat us and the women in their own marginalized communities still every single day and make this world so much harder and more awful for us to be in, and if we choose to hate them and not spare them any sympathy then so be it, and I don't just mean "men as a class" either, you can be a woman who doesn't want to have anything to do with any man on an individual basis and completely cuts off men from her personal life too and ykw I will love and fucking support you in that because men deserve absolutely NOTHING from us. If they're so tough and strong then they can handle it just like they can handle being lonely. If you are a woman who hates men, ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE A LESBIAN AND/OR A TRANS WOMAN, then just know that I love you. I love you, I support you, and you are safe here.

**Trigger warnings for mentions of honor killing, rape and systemic oppression of marginalized peoples**

So many things in fiction and popular culture are just not funny when you are not white and more specifically live in the global south.

That astrology post by @timetravellingkitty reminded me how little Westerners are acquainted with our social realities. Astrology isn't some quirky indie holistic branch of faith for us, it has gotten academics and secularists killed, it dictates the oppression of marginalized castes, it has been a powerful weapon in dehumanizing women in our society. I have had female friends with a gold medal in postgraduate studies told to initiate wedding rituals with non-human subjects (including animals and plants) to cleanse themselves of impure astrological foundations from their birth charts. I have seen weddings called off and women being made to starve because of wrong astrological compatibility. Sorry I am not amused by your twee soulless gentrified astrology dark academia and pinterest posting.

(Brief tangent: Another thing that interests me is the almost gleeful joy invested in the marriage and forced relationship/proximity trope in recent fiction. Here, the governing fantasy revolves around a storyline where a young woman is literally being sold to or abducted by a man or woman with significantly more power in hand: for they can obtain her as a commodity. But of recent, this is being rebranded as feminism, as a young girl's sexual awakening, as freedom from the benevolently bland childhood best friend and a reawakening as a young Persephone under adversity, whereby the captive has to fix and educate their captor, and in return of emotional labor is rewarded with power and prestige. That's something so insidious to me, because all fantasies aside, what is so cute exactly about it. Women and marginalized genders are at a risk of marital rape because of forced marriages across India. Kangaroo courts and honor killings dominate when it comes to interfaith and intercaste marriages, to unions based on autonomy. Anyway let's go back.)

Dgmw, fiction is fiction etc etc. "Writing is not condoning" that age old sentence now parroted like a hivemind by white fiction authors across genres. But, in what conceivable way are we expected to react in the same way as your white audience, to your supposedly harmless fantasies grounded in ideas of very real, very uncritically romanticized social structures.

I literally don't give a fuck if you are a Libra moon, or that you seek comfort from personal rituals and escapist fan fiction. You do you!! God knows I like reading books about questionable topics and defining myself in easily relatable categories and labels too!! I'm not speaking against faith, or religion, or spiritual lifestyles of any kind, I'm speaking of the commodification and institutionalization of these spiritualities.

But I do care when white people come online on public platforms and rebrand these practices as a radical reclamation of power, or some powerful, unsanitized, "problematic and flawed queer stories" when their very nature is rooted in pseudo-science, misogyny and capitalist exploitation– in the real traumas of underprivileged people repackaged as fanfiction tropes and as aesthetic personality traits for Westerners and anti-rationalists.

And finally, coming back to astrology, in the words of Adorno (The Stars Down to Earth and Other Essays on the Irrational in Culture, 1975):

Society is made up of those whom it comprises. If the latter would fully admit their dependence on man-made conditions, they would somehow have to blame themselves, would have to recognize not only their impotence but also that they are the cause of this impotence and would have to take responsibilities which today are extremely hard to take. This may be one of the reasons why they like so much to project their dependence upon something else, be it a conspiracy of Wall Street bankers or the constellation of the stars. What drives people into the arms of the various kinds of “prophets of deceit” is not only their sense of dependence and their wish to attribute this dependence to some “higher” and ultimately more justifiable sources, but it is also their wish to reinforce their own dependence, not to have to take matters into their own hands.

Closer home, in the words of the late Narendra Dabholkar:

Yeah man. Please fucking think.

It's absolutely incredible how often I'll find an aphobe, check their blog/comments/whatever, and they also turn out to be a TERF. Many TERFs have also admitted that the "ace discourse" era is what started the TERF pipeline for them.

Anyway, as a cis aroace woman, I just want to express love and solidarity towards my trans siblings. I'm gonna hold a meeting between our two factions where we'll have garlic bread and cake.

i think the issue tumblr transfeminism is having atm is that, like literally all ideological activism on tumblr, none of you have read any theory and are basing all your ideas on what you heard in the billionth iteration of the worlds stupidest game of telephone. i have legitimately heard people saying "transandrophobia means transphobia + androphobia because that's what intersectionality is" despite the fact that a. the term has a completely different origin and b. that is literally the opposite of what intersectionality is about. the entire point of intersectionality is that even if transandrophobia was an intersection of transphobia and "androphobia" you could not seperate them.

misogynoir is not misogyny + noir, nor is it misogyny + racism, it is the unique oppression faced by women of colour as a result of them being women, people of colour, and women of colour, all at once.

transmisogyny is not transphobia + misogyny, it's the unique oppression faced by those perceived as trans women* as a result of being perceived as trans, women, and trans women, all at once.

transandrophobia is not transphobia + "androphobia" it is the unique oppression faced by those perceived as trans men* as a result of being perceived as trans, men, and trans men, all at once. this is not a hard fucking concept to understand.

*yes, this applies to transfems/transmascs, other non-binary people, and even cis people. patriarchy does not care for the nuances of your identity, and it would rather kill 100 privileged people than let 1 underpriviliged person live. that goes for more than just transphobia, btw.

[theenbyroiderer]

Just had to block a couple people of the radfem terf-loving variety so seems like I need to post this again... I thought I was being clear when I use this as my profile pic! If you think that jkr is doing the good work or you are otherwise the sort of feminist that will exclude trans women then I don't want you on this page. I don't want you following me, I don't want you to share my stuff, I don't even want you to look at what I post. Don't even argue with me, just go away!

[anti-terf-posts]

hot take but plus size/fat people shouldn't have to sexualize themselves for you to be accepting of them.

[daffodilmornings]

Anyway, victims of rape deserve a safe space online to vent. We deserve to be open about our feelings, and our hatred and fear is valid as yours is to anything else that has harmed you. Stop silencing rape victims as "radfem man-haters" and listen to them as victims of continuous abuse at the hands of men and a patriarchal society that does not put these men behind bars.

RADFEMS AND TERFS DO NOT TOUCH

[fluffytimearts]

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

You guys ever notice how whenever Black women say “reclaiming femininity is empowering for us because we’re always assumed to be masculine, Black women are allowed to be feminine, we’d like to be able to embrace our femininity too” and such and such radfems ALWAYS respond with “oh so you think that the key to empowerment is to follow white women’s lead/imitate white women? Interesting.” Like they’re basically just admitting that only white women can be feminine/when they hear femininity they first think of whiteness which is exactly the fucking problem. Not that we’re doing this for you or any man anyway lol radfems can fuck off and Black women can be as girly or ungirly as they damn well please.
