y'all will say "biology has nothing to do with being a man or woman" and then take hormones to mimic the secondary sex characteristics of the opposite sex and in extreme cases go under the knife to chop off your breasts and castrate your penises. like if being a man or woman has absolutely nothing to do with biology, why are you attempting to transition at all? what are you even transitioning from, if your biological sex has no bearing on your so-called internal sense of identity. why are any of you even calling yourselves trans. like genuinely

Lmao literally women should be allowed to have female only spaces just because, and not just because of safeguarding from males. Women want to go to a women only gym? A women only club? A women only knitting circle? A women only concert, yoga class, workshop, etc? They should be allowed to without MALES pitching a fucking fit about it and demanding “inclusion.” Women should be allowed to seek out and use female only spaces because that’s our fucking right in this male centered, male dominated, male obsessed society. Just fucking BECAUSE.

do you ever think about how gay people put in decades of work to change the public perception and understanding of homosexuality to the fact that gay people are just gay and all that means is we love people of the same sex and that gay does NOT equal “predatory perv” but then the predatory pervs came in and co-opted the entire movement and set the LGB community back years of hard-earned progress and acceptance? yeah me too

video context: the woman in the video is applying mascara and the text on the screen has a quote that says "I could never spend that much time on my mascara." The audio overlaying the video is a sound bite that says "what a lame gimmick," which is inferred to be a response to the quote on the screen. this is essentially just another video defending wearing makeup and the time women waste on it, and that it's somehow "lame" to make any dissenting statement about not wanting to waste half an hour of your day carefully applying mascara.
this video has tons of likes and most of the comments under this video are like the ones above. it might seem like a harmless, playful video on the surface, but it just goes to show you how feminine beauty rituals like applying makeup every day are a complete time waste and energy suck on women's daily lives. men are not required to spend half an hour doing their mascara to make it "perfect." men aren't encouraged to set aside an hour or more of their morning just dedicated to putting a mask on their face that they're just going to take off at the end of the day anyway, rinse and repeat. like why have we normalized that it is a worthwhile use of our time to spend hours applying makeup each week? how is this mindset good for girls and women? why is it seen as "lame" to even mildly criticize these practices? this is how the patriarchy steals away women's time and energy, by enforcing these beauty standards and rituals onto us so that we don't have the time or energy to do or think about anything else.

“sorry about my appearance i literally just woke up but-” “my hair looks like crap today but i just had to come on real quick and say-” “i KNOW i look like shit rn but don’t mention that in the comments or else you’re homophobic-” “apologies for my appearance guys i literally just got out of the gym!” *voice distortion filter* *light makeup filter* *bold glamour filter* *false eyelash filter* *soft glow filter*

I don’t want to be that person I don’t want to be that person I really don’t want to be that person because I know it looks like an “innocent” video but actually can we start raising our daughters to not give a fuck about how pretty or attractive or gorgeous they are?? And instead raise them to be confident, active, intelligent, independent etc? Like, this little girl is playing with makeup, or even just the makeup brush, likely just imitating her mother’s behavior she’s seen before, but she already knows that putting on or playing with makeup makes her “look gorgeous” and that that has to do with her appearance, and that it’s worth verbally pointing out because “looking gorgeous” already holds intrinsic value as something good and positive and reinforced (with mom smiling and saying “you do”).
Like, idk. Some might say it’s not that deep and that it was just a moment in time in their entire lives but also I checked their account, and it’s a Mom & Daughter account that has 4.3 million followers and countless videos where the daughter is being exploited for views. But even besides that, just look at the number of likes and saves this video has, and the thousands of comments saying how “this is the way to raise your daughter right!! 🥰”
Like I know. I KNOW. It’s supposed to be cute and innocent and sweet. But it isn’t. It really isn’t.

what’s so funny to me is the fact that i see SO many more trans-identified women identifying as trans masc now instead of as “Trans Men” because even subconsciously they’re still not comfortable fully identifying as “men” (probably because of the ingrained imposter syndrome that women tend to struggle with, except this time they actually would be the imposter, but i digress) whereas the vast majority of trans-identified men rarely identify as trans femme but rather loudly and unashamedly as “Trans Women,” most likely due to their sheer audacious levels of male entitlement and confidence. Like lmao

I’ve always hated hearing men so audaciously utter the phrase “I want kids.” Like even if it’s just said in response to someone asking them the question of “do you want kids?” Something doesn’t sit right about it to me. It’s just so presumptuous. Like what do you mean you want kids? Will you be the one carrying these hypothetical children around for 9 months and be forced to put your body at all types of risks and complications that come from carrying a child and giving birth? Will you be doing the lion’s share of the domestic and emotional labor that it takes to raise a child and fulfill all of their mental, social, emotional, and physical needs? Where do you come off saying things like “I want kids,” as if it’s just a forgone conclusion that some poor woman will ever be willing to have children with you specifically. What makes you so special. You’re literally just some guy. You likely don’t even actually want kids and all of the responsibility that comes with. You just want the social capital of having a ‘legacy’ and a name to pass on. As if your genes are even worthy of preserving. As if you’re that important. “I want kids.” Fuck off.

women can't even talk about our own anatomy without having to caveat every single thing we say with "i think all terfs should die btw!!!" like i find it so interesting that this was her very first thought after posting. she knew how the notes were going to eviscerate her for it so she had to beat them to it. this right here is one of the reasons i peaked. any discussion about our bodies always, inevitably, is boiled down to "bioessentialist rhetoric" despite the very valid points it's making. the fact that any discussion we want to have about female anatomy is somehow a "TERF dogwhistle" for simply talking about body parts that half the human population has. and that every conversation like this has to be prefaced with "TERFS can fuck off and DIE!!!" or else risk being ripped to shreds by the gender freaks is so telling of where liberal feminism is today.

"the problem is men, not trans women!"
ok but what is a man? what is it about this group of people that makes them a problem? is it the identity of 'man' that's the problem? and if all men stopped identifying as men would the problem go away?

no but when you really sit down and think about it, you have to be actually batshit insane, mentally unstable and depravingly dangerous to be a man who actually feels comfortable walking into women’s spaces and taking up space as if you were ever welcome there. like physically and confidently walking into women’s restrooms, locker rooms, changing rooms, sports teams, lesbian bars, gatherings etc and not feeling an ounce of shame or embarrassment or guilt, but instead entitlement. like as a woman, this absolutely fucking baffles me. even hypothetically putting myself in the shoes of the men who do this makes me feel physically sick. like i literally had a full body cringe thinking about it. as women we’re taught to feel things like shame and guilt and embarrassment for taking up space in almost any public setting, so I guess this feeling just comes naturally to me, but like. how can you feel justified and righteous enough to demand to be let into these spaces where you aren’t fucking wanted? where is the self awareness and empathy?
like they keep telling us that these TIMs who “just want to pee” are supposedly less of a threat to us than other men but, the kind of man who feels entitled enough to pull shit like this is probably even more insidiously dangerous to women than your average man. it’s just so sick and twisted. they’re narcissistic, egotistical, porn-sick depraved men who are fetishizing us enough to want to emulate us, invade and use our spaces, date us, piss and change beside us, all while demanding to call them one of us, or else be silenced and labeled a bigot. as if we’re indistinguishable from one another and should be respected and treated as such. it’s terrifying when you actually think about it.

It’s so hilarious how radfems get the insult lobbed at us that we’re all bioessentialists and that we “reduce people down to their genitals” by stating that women are adult human females and men are adult human males, when what’s really bioessentialist is their categorization of man and woman. It’s them who believe that what makes you a woman or man is adopting certain norms, roles, dress, activities and demeanor deemed as “feminine” or “masculine”. It’s them who believe that if you don’t align with or uphold a set of arbitrary, patriarchal rules that are imposed upon your birth sex, that somehow you are not that sex and should therefore undergo transition to “align” your body with made up, sexist stereotypes. The hypocrisy is mind-blowing and it’s wild how they’ve tried to gaslight everyone who disagrees with their ideology that we’re the ones who are trying to uphold a restrictive view of sex and gender.
Being a bioessentialist means believing that your sex is the determining factor in the roles you “naturally” conform to. For instance, that women are natural nurturers and that motherhood comes easily and instinctively to them, whereas it doesn’t for men. That men are natural “leaders” and should thus be at the helm of family, politics, business, public life, etc. That’s what actual bioessentialism is. If you knew anything about radical feminism you would know that’s precisely what we are against.

gender is innate but also gender is socially constructed but also gender is separate from sex but also we are assigned a gender at birth based on our sex but also gender isn't real but also "gender-affirming" surgeries that try to mimic the sex organs of the opposite sex are real but also gender is a "spectrum" but also gender is "restrictive" but since gender is not the same as sex that means people of either sex can opt out of their gender (that is often based on sexist stereotypes) completely if they don't feel like they don't relate to those stereotypes (which ultimately just reinforces gender) BUT since gender is NOT sex you can also take cross-sex hormones that might give you some physical characteristics that are commonly associated with the opposite sex but ALSO-
