Always grounding talking to other women about bullshit misogyny in the current day, and once you rock the boat just a bit they find that it’s ok to speak their minds freely
Also can’t believe my roommate seemed genuinely surprised that individuals would transition for fetish-based reasons

Alrighty, I’ve finally got the time to sit down for the first time today, so its time to compile a nice little list of receipts:
*Trans”woman” doctor who drugged and raped his patients *Trans”woman” who had over 80,000 “indecent” images of children
*Trans”woman” who raped a female inmate while incarcerated and had it covered up by the authorities *I can’t even begin to summarize this shit, its that bad
*Trans”woman” pedophile attacking a young girl in the women’s bathroom
*Trans”woman” literally beat a baby to death, article makes no mentions he’s actually a man
*Trans”woman” who sexually assaulted his own daughter when she was THREE YEARS OLD, now gets to go to female prison
*Man who tied a couple to an anchor and dropped them into the ocean now a “woman”
*Trans”woman” who molested multiple women insists he shouldn’t get charged because he’s just soooo dysphoric
*Trans”woman” the size of a monster truck rapes a woman hired to take care of him, article doesn’t even bother to mention the fact that he’s actually a man
*Yet another pedophile
*Again, can’t even summarize this one
*And another pedophile
*Oh, guess what… yet another pedophile
*Trans”woman” who claims the reason he’s a rapist is because of his dysphoria, so we should all, like, totally feel bad for him,,,
*To the surprise of no one, yet another pedophile
*Yet another pedophile
*And another
*Trans”woman” who raped two women outside of prison, moved to female prison, where he proceeds to rape the female inmates Want more? Just go to r/thisneverhappens on Reddit. Here, I’ll even make it easy for ya!: https://www.reddit.com/r/thisneverhappens/
There’s literally hundreds of links to sources of violent MEN- excuse me, trans”women” (and, hey! even a few trans”men” too!)- who have raped, assaulted, stalked, tortured, or murdered people. Its all right there at your fingertips. Many of these men are pedophiles. Many of them are now currently being transferred to female prisons. The ones that are already in female prisons are currently raping the vulnerable women- overwhelmingly women of color due to systemic, institutionalized racism- incarcerated with them. Again, keep in mind that this is literally the tip of the iceberg. This isn’t even .01% of all the violent men who call themselves women who are being moved into female prisons. Moving on. Here’s a fun link! It’s of you freaks attacking women for daring to attend a women’s only speech!: https://www.womenarehuman.com/police-do-nothing-as-rowdy-transgender-activists-terrorize-attendees-scream-kick-windows-at-womans-place-uk-meeting/ Or maybe some other relevant links, hmm?
*Woman of color fired from position as president of Planned Parenthood for believing in biological sex. She gets replaced by a white trans”woman”
*An article about the white man who replaced her as the president of Planned Parenthood
*This ones about women in a homeless shelter being forced to shower with a trans”woman” who continuously sexually harasses them
*Here’s one about two women- survivors of domestic violence- being kicked out of a homeless shelter for daring to be concerned about the behavior of the trans”woman” they were forced to share a room with
*A breastfeeding mother was arrested in front of her young children and detained for hours without access to feminine hygiene products, all because she “misgendered” a trans”woman” online
*This is a great writeup summarizing several different cases of trans”women” being fucking awful, to put it mildly
*A man was investigated by the police for retweeting a limerick about transgenderism
*A young mother was thrown out of a bar and has since been harassed by the owners, all because she wore a shirt that stated the dictionary definition of “woman”
*Woman of color was fired from her job because she wouldn’t call an entirely gender-conforming white man a “woman” (This is an older article but it’s the only one I had on my phone- she ended up losing her case in court. This is the woman that JK Rowling tweeted out her support to, in case she sounded familiar)
*Trans”woman” who binds his feet to be more “feminine”, appropriating the sex-based oppression Chinese women faced with foot binding
*A bomb threat called into a Woman’s Place meeting
*A teenage boy with Asperger’s has been arrested and fined for “misgendering” a trans”man” cop
*Another article about the boy with Asperger’s
*Trans”woman” elementary school teacher demanding to have access to his female STUDENT’S bathroom. He already has full access to the female staff’s bathroom. Now he wants in with the little girls, too. Mind you, NO staff is allowed into the students’ bathrooms
*Documented pedophile Johnathan “Jessica” Yaniv is back at his misogynistic, racist bullshit once again
*Trans people are less likely to get murdered than the average person, and trans victims who are murdered are actually predominantly killed in domestic disputes, meaning they are rarely the victims of hate crimes These two are about the same event, where a feminist speaker was attacked by a trans”woman”:
*A great writeup filled with other sources
*This one goes into the trans cult’s reaction to the attack, which was, unsurprisingly, horrendous _________________
These are a few tumblr posts about TIM predators and other various trans bullshit, which provide additional sources in their posts. Actually read the posts, and click the sources: *Here’s a link to a post about another prominent TRA whose a child molester
*Just a quick one about how trans”women” love to portray themselves as the victims, even when it couldn’t be further from the truth (again, sources provided in the post)
*This is an excellent post (containing links to sources that back it up) about how homosexuality is viewed across the globe, vs. how transgenderism is viewed
*Excellent writeup with sources about a trans”woman” lies and blatant smear campaign against academics
*This is a link to screenshots from the rape victims of trans”woman” and very prominent “trans rights activist” Eli Erlrick
*And this is a wordpress linking multiple, in-detail, accusations against Eli Erlrick
*Gag-worthy post full of god knows how many screenshots of countless trans”women” shown fetishizing little girls, being misogynistic, being lesbophobic, and being all around vile, disturbing, predatory, male freaks
*Just…ugh. Video of some trans bullshit at a Pride event, with a comment by someone who was actually there
*Screenshots of a discord for trans”women” where they openly talk about their vile rape fantasies
*Post with multiple links talking about a French radical feminist who denounced the misogyny of the trans cult, only for them to put up a banner (in reference to other French protests) that said “TERFs burn at the stake”
*Post with sources, screenshots, and translations, about a white trans”woman” who got a lesbian only event shut down at a lesbian bar in Tokyo
*An amazing post about how trans activism has severely harmed intersex people, and how it is the exact opposite of everything intersex activists have been working for
*This has a bunch of screenshots and links to a Black woman getting ripped to shreds by the trans cult, all because she dared to make art about her own female body
*Here’s a fun post that documents all the crimes that GameStop He-Ma’am from a while ago has committed before he decided he’s a laydee. Remember him? He’s the guy who screamed at a GameStop, frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog, all because the poor cashier accidently called him “sir”?
*And here’s the video of the GameStop bro to refresh your memory

Is all that not enough for you?
What about Cherno Biko, a trans”woman” and trans activist who raped a transman with the deliberate intent of impregnating her, and still got to speak at the Women’s March on Washington AFTER that information was made public.
What about Allison Woolbert, the director of a transgender human rights organization, and convicted pedophile
What about The Cotton Ceiling, a movement created by trans”women” that paints lesbians’ underwear as a bigoted barrier that needs to be broken through
What about trans”woman” Dana McCallum, twitter engineer, who raped his wife
What about trans”woman” Donna Perry, a serial killer who murdered women because he thought they weren’t “using their uteruses properly by being prostitutes”, and claimed that he was innocent now that he’s transition to a “woman”
What about Chad Severance Turner, prominent trans activist and pedophile
What about Dana Rivers, a trans”woman” and Camp Trans activist, who beat an interracial lesbian couple and their son to death because they turned him down
_________________________
Here’s some lovely screenshots of trans activists nailing dead rats and spray painting death threats on the doors and windows of a Vancouver Rape Relief women’s shelter! Also screenshots of a Black woman being told by Canadian politician trans”woman”, Morgane Ogre, that talking about her being a victim of female genital mutilation is Evil™️ because it hurts trans”women’s” feelings, some lovely misogynistic lynchings of “TERFs”, a trans”woman” bragging about his (male) privilege, and more! I’m sure you still think this is all totally warranted behavior, right???
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Is THAT good enough for you? Now do you understand why it is radical feminists want nothing to do with you monsters? Trans activism is nothing but the newest manifestation of the patriarchy. It’s men’s rights activism in a wig. And at this point, anyone who sees all the shit they’ve done and all the shit they’re doing, and still supports them, is just as fucking bad as they are. And remember, this barely touched on the lesbophobia (and homophobia in general) that runs rampant under the guise of trans “activism.” This doesn’t even go into the fact that trans”women” starting to take the very few places in businesses and governments reserved strictly for women, or them rolling back hard earned rights the suffragettes fought tooth and nail for. This doesn’t even touch on the fact that young girls and women are now losing out on desperately needed sports scholarships to universities, losing hard earned and long standing titles, all because trans”women” are taking over real women’s sports. If I were to go into all that, this post would be 10x as long as it is now, and the 35 minutes I’ve spent on this is too much as it is. So please. Tell me again how this sort of stuff “never happens” and how radfems are “just as violent”.

interesting how the title of the article was changed to “received a death threat” instead of the more active language of what actually happened included in the link - was threatened with a knife. if misgendering (even unintentional, non-malicious) is violence, this woman deserved to have a male coworker wielding a knife tell her “I’m going to kill you for calling me he.” does that sound right to you, really?

when people talk of female socialisation they’re not saying there is one universal female experience that all women have that is exactly the same… they’re saying that in every society women are socialised into a role that is intended to ensure our subjugation and keep us subservient to men. and all women share in this experience, despite its infinite variations cross-culturally: we are intended to be second-class citizens and that’s easier to maintain if we are socialised as such.

Anti Porn Masterlist
I included a link directly to Pornhub because it's pretty shocking how open they are about what depravity is popular. Enter at your own risk.
^^ Enter at your own risk. I included this because the kinds of things they search for are the most solid anti porn evidence I've ever seen.
This is a lecture Dr. Gail Dines gave at the Nova Scotia Women’s Summit in 2012. It’s about how women are portrayed in the media in general, but about halfway through (40 minutes), she starts talking about the research she’s done on mainstream porn. Said research is complied in her book Pornland, which I really recommend. That there links to a full PDF.
This is a group of articles titled The Protection Project by the Journal of Human Rights and Society. Long read, but it talks a lot about how porn contributes to sex trafficking.
This is a TED Talk by Ran Gavrieli about quitting porn that has 20 million views
Pornography: Men Possessing Women by Andrea Dworkin
Anonymous on Pornhub's Parent Company Mindgeek
Hot Girls Wanted is a documentary about the "amateur" industry
I analyzed how often men search for "teen" and other CSA terms in 2016
How viewing porn impacts the workplace

I’ve seen a bunch of new blogs pop up around “looking into radical feminism” or “learning more about radical feminism” or “discovering radical feminism” and it’s not people blogging about what they’re leaning, it’s people trying to learn political theory from social media and specifically the tumble posts of people extremely unqualified to do this
I cannot stress enough that you are not learning about radical feminism from tumble dot com.
by all means make contacts, reach out to people, ask questions, have dialog, but the odds are just as good that you’ll connect with someone who knows what they are talking about and can work through ideas with you and give you good book recs as they are good you’ll run into an absolute nincompoop who has no idea what they’re talking about and who will lead you very, very far astray
You need to be reading books. Old books. Books published in the late sixties and in the seventies and in the eighties and in the nineties. You need to be comfortable reading books by people who say things you don’t agree with. You need to be comfortable coming to understand someone’s ideas even if you have different ideas of your own. You need to be comfortable pausing in your reading sometimes to go learn about another concept assumed to be understood in your book before you can continue. You need to be comfortable with learning as a process, and with reasoning as a process. These are not things we are taught to do in Western schools, and they are certainly not things we are taught to do through social media.
Please read more books. Rent them at a library. Buy the cheaper ebook version. Google for pdfs. Pirate them if the author is dead and they’re out of print, I don’t care. Just read ore books, I am literally begging the entire internet.
tell me your interests and I will recommend specific books for you, open offer

“if you ban trans women from competing in women’s sports, you’ll wind up having to ban black women too” uh literally why would we have to do that. You bring black women into this because you know if the issue was just about males playing women’s sports, people would overwhelmingly decide that it’s ridiculous to allow that, even left-leaning progressives.

as serious and real as trans people frustration is with terfs is. Whatever danger terfs seem to think they pose to them isn’t. Trans people aren’t going to harm terfs on any real level and all this “Kill terfs” is a essentially a joke in the same way “down with cis” was, used to vent frustration against a group actively oppressing a group unable to do anything about it. Those threats aren’t real. What is real is the dangers terf’s ideologies put transwomen in on a daily basis, and  the mistrust it instills in feminism in every transwoman whose’s ever been harmed by those ideologies.

Been re-reading Dworkin (her books are realllllly hard to find and that is because her arguments are extremely radical) and every day I find things that knock me on my ass.
