Inshallah Jk Rowling Loses Her Fortune And All Her Hateful Deeds Are Returned To Her X10

“okay but what about women, this is real feminism!”

blah blah blah. feminism wouldn’t exist in the way it does today if it weren’t for trans women.

intersectional feminism would not be a thing if it weren’t for trans women.

if you think for one second that cis women are safe, that this isn’t step 20 in a long list of terrible steps towards stripping all women of their bodily autonomy, reducing their rights and posing major threats to their freedoms, you are deluded and you’re in for a terrible shock.

i’m so sorry to say this - people in power politically, socially and systemically have never cared about protecting women. only about controlling them. you are not now nor will you ever be exempt from that.

trans women are not a threat to cis women. in fact, it is overwhelmingly the other way around. and isn’t that disgusting?

“I do not identify with being silent I do not identify with being pink I do not identify with being soft I do not identify with being scared I do not identify with being weak I do not identify with being submissive I do not identify with being irrational I do not identify with being hysterical I do not identify with being bad at maths I do not identify with being unintelligent I do not identify with being followed I do not identify with being grabbed I do not identify with being assaulted I do not identify with being raped I do not identify with being inferior I do not identify with being a woman as society has created it. I do not identify as cis. I am not cis. I am a woman trying to fight with every fibre of my being against everything that my “gender identity” tells me to be. Woman as defined by society is not my gender identity. My gender identity is fuck this oppressive bullshit, and let me be a human fucking being.”

It's crazy to me how many aspects of beauty culture are LITERALLY toxic. Like, nail polish has a lot of harmful substances that cause long term health effects in salon technicians. Fake eyelashes (eyelash extensions for sure, idk about the ones you just stick on) are glued to your eyelid with glue containing formaldehyde, a carcinogen. So many makeup products have been found to have heavy metals like lead because there is virtually no regulation. And that's not even getting into the issues with eating disorders or plastic surgery

The amount of women getting Botox is so.. sinister. Like we’re just admitting that as a society we don’t think it’s attractive for women to be able to have facial expressions. To express emotion. To raise their eyebrows or wrinkle their noses or grin so big it changes their whole face. We don’t want that in women. Everyone knows why. It’s too human.

"4b is misandrist" don't care "4b is unpatriotic" don't care "4b hurts men" don't care "4b will cause incels to rage out" don't care "4b is just purity culture" don't care "4b is problematic" don't care "4b is xyz-phobic or xyz-ist" don't care "4b is too radical" don't care "only ugly/unfuckable women do 4b" don't care "no one would want to sleep with you anyway" don't care "4b is bad for birthrates" don't care

there was a trans march in mexico city days ago where this man, after lifting his skirt and flashing his underwear, yelled "hope your daughter gets raped, b*tch!" at a female cop.

TRAs and their obsession with sending rape threats to anyone that dares to disagree with them... nothing new.

"as a feminist i'm politically homeless" "the left is just as sexist as the right" "i won't vote for the left because they support the trans agenda". okay yeah but also the left (not the right) support

equal pay for women

keeping women in employment

fighting against sexism/sexual harassment in the workplace

reducing religious influence on public life

increasing social welfare directed at single mothers

increasing pensions for elderly women

increasing social welfare for disabled women

scholarships for young women and girls in education

women owning a bank account

women owning a house

women having the right to divorce

abortion

birth control

lesbianism being legal

lesbians being allowed to adopt

gay marriage

woc being able to vote

better housing conditions, better working conditions, better healthcare (not a woman-only issue but definitely improve womens life)

maternal leave

welcoming refugees (including women)

other parts of the left are also the only part of the political spectrum that support

abolishing surrogacy

abolishing porn

abolishing prostitution

abolishing religion

like at some point if "the left" (not a monolith. also you often just mean liberals) supporting self id is a deal breaker for you you have to realize you must be very privileged when it comes to class race and disability imo. bc poor women, disabled women and woc need leftist politics if we dont want our lives to become absolutely awful. not to mention "the left" isnt a monolith and there are parts of the left that dont support transactivism

but sureee keep saying "the left is just as bad as the right" at a time when the far-right is on the rise pretty much all over the world (or is already in power) and religious fundies are repelling women's reproductive and human rights as a result. i'm sure this is a very responsible, smart and feminist thing to do

one thing i dont think we talk enough about is how pretty much every sex ed resource for lesbian teens tells them they should be open to sex with male partners

i remember being 14/15 and googling how lesbian sex worked and just being confronted with site after site telling me that lesbian sex sometimes includes a penis and it was uninclusive and closed minded to think otherwise :)))

i guarantee you no girl or woman searching for lesbian sex ed resources is looking for advice on how to blow a guy or have piv intercourse, theyre looking for advice about sexual relationships between biologically female partners

i think people underestimate how ashamed and broken it made me and other lesbians feel to read that over and over. after reading those resources i felt so hopeless that i tried to force myself to be asexual because it was the only socially acceptable way to rule out having a male partner

constantly adding these ~helpful reminders~ is like telling lesbians that they just haven't met the right guy yet, and there is no context in which they should forget it

some of these were government affiliated websites insisting that exclusive homosexuality didnt exist, or at the very least that it was unthinkable and unpeakable

its a very impactful and insidious form of homophobia
