Love! Love! Love!

all fetishism is bad because fetishes are fixations and sex is supposed to be relational - instead of being aroused by your partner and using things as props, you end up being aroused by a thing and using your partner as prop. if you fixate on a specific scenario for one and end up aroused by playing it out rather than the person you're having sex with, your partner is just an actor in it and could be replaced by whoever. that's why postmodernist pornography-fueled sexuality is so painfully unerotic - it's impersonal, without the intimate interpersonal element, desire of a partner as a person. it's literally regression in sexual development

Let me describe to you what kind of world gender abolitionists actually dream about: When a child would be born it’s biological sex, being an actual physical reality, would be noticed but not a single assumption regarding the child’s personality would be made based on it. Growing up, children would be free to chose what toys and clothes they prefer. If they want to play with toy trucks or dolls, it would be fine either way. If they want to dress comfortably or in frilly colorful dresses, it would be fine. Regardless of the child’s biological sex. Certain personality traits would not be encouraged in members of one sex and discouraged in the other. Females would be free to be strong, brave and assertive and males would not be shamed for being shy and soft spoken. No female child would be called a tomboy and no male child would be called a sissy. No kid would ever be bullied for what we in our gendered world call “gender expression”. When children would reach puberty they would still be free to dress how they want. Females would not be pressured to wear clothes that reveal their bodies and males would not be shamed if they chose to. Everybody would have a free choice of accessories, which would not be categorized as “men’s” or “women’s” but people could should whichever they liked. Or chose to not wear accessories at all if that’s what they are more comfortable with. Females would not be pressured to keep their bodies slim, soft and hairless. Males would not be pressured to be athletic and muscular. Expectations of femininity and masculinity upon the body would not exist and affect negatively people’s relationship with their own body. Everyone could choose a career without fearing stigmatization within that particular field because of their biological sex. The most important thing would be competence and not what someone has between their legs. Domestic work would not be considered “women’s work” and would be shared equally between the sexes. Biological sex would only be thought about when relevant. Like for example in regards to issues surrounding sexual activity, reproduction or treatment of medical conditions related to a person’s biological sex. And everyone would be free to be themselves without ever having to worry about gender expectations. Nobody would feel the need to repress certain parts of their personality and exaggerate others in order to fit into some gender role that is being forced on them. Gender abolitionism is not about restricting people’s choices but about giving them greater freedom.

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.

weirdo: i like watching women be abused

liberals: >:(

weirdo: it’s a sex thing???

liberals: :) ok sorry carry on

every time a GNC woman jumps ship and IDs as some category of “not a woman” it feels like she’s thrown her hands up and said “FINE you were right, I was being a woman the wrong way and it’s because I’m NOT one” but it’s celebrated as a victory rather than a crushing defeat for the rest of us who choose not to hide from our own reality. I get wanting to opt out of misogyny, but it’s just not possible...

when a lesbian doesn’t want to have sex with a biological man:  penises and vaginas are analogous organs and are pretty much entirely the same lol.  Just get over it, stop being so unscientific and bigoted.

when you want aesthetic surgery done on your genitals: this counts as life saving support, penises and vaginas are so entirely different and people will die if they don’t have this procedure done

i really like the definition of “adult human female” because it says “thats all it is. its not femininity, makeup, submissiveness, softness, anything. all it is is biology. the rest is up to the individual”

love the drusilla icon - terftosterone 🦌

Thank you!

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
