Please help us, no one donated since 1 day, is that’s my sister deserves?! Please stand with us 🙏

going on estrogen will make you like men, going on testosterone will also actually make you like men, breathing and existing in the world will make you like men too actually . what ? you’re a lesbian ? don’t be ridiculous . have you considered that you might just not be far enough in your transition to realize that you’re sexually available to men, actually ? what about men ? have you considered transitioning into being a sex object for men, actually ? after all, it’s only natural .

Poor Maryam deserves safety, care, and a chance to recover. Please, everyone, help in any way possible donate, share, or spread the word. Every bit of support truly matters.

Fun Fact: the primary victims of the Vietnam War were not the American soldiers, but the 3 million Vietnamese civilians

Similarly, if Trump sends troops to Iran (which is seeming likely) you need to understand that these people chose to go and kill civilians, the primary victims of American Imperialism are the ones who we wage war on

my general opinion on what people should be "allowed" to portray and what topics they should be "allowed" to explore in fiction is that you can make whatever art with whatever themes you want but i'm also allowed to think the way you handled it was tasteless and should've been done differently. my negative opinion on your handling of sensitive topics is the price of admission for publicly showcasing your work. this is not a pro-censorship stance because i am not The Government

I wonder if it’s not a coincidence that the women most vulnerable to violence and exploitation at the hands of everyone are consistently portrayed as being the most able to fend for themselves and that the women who are the least vulnerable are portrayed as the most needing of protection :/

the most common way i see people on the left frame women not shaving is that women who don’t shave think they’re better than everyone else and need to be put in their place. this framing is so powerful i’m actually a little afraid to talk about it because i KNOW some people will read this and think i think i’m better than everyone else. but like we gotta know this isn’t actually progressive.

It’s really telling that being able to push through constant negative societal and personal feedback in order to allow your body to just Exist is seen as “thinking you’re better than everyone else”. Shame is so fundamental to womanhood that being able to shake off even just some of it is perceived as arrogance. (When it is not possible to write it off as slovenliness anyway; if they can dismiss you as a less-than-woman or not-woman then they don’t bother labeling you arrogant! If they’re ~progressive~ they have to find another reason to express disgust, e.g. by linking it to character.)

It really gets me upset when the trans man lesbian crowd spreads these soft positivity posts like “trans men have always had a place in the lesbian community uwu” with not a degree of awareness. It’s been shown statistically, that a majority of cis lesbians will proudly state they would prefer to date trans men over trans women. It’s been shown how trans men are accepted by cis lesbians and welcomed in lesbian spaces over trans women. And it isn’t because of beautiful beautiful solidarity, its because they see them as women and they see trans women as men. Trans men have been equated with masc lesbians for decades and continue to this day, especially by terfs who use butch lesbian and trans man as interchangeable words.  The absolute tone deafness I’ve seen in these discussions boggles the mind, like saying trans men grew up identifying as lesbians, being treated as women, being “socialized” as women, so they have a ‘right’ to lesbian spaces. As if it doesn’t subtlety imply that transfems have less of a right to be there then they do, as if it isn’t regurgitated terf “male/female socialization” rhetoric. And when I point out these problematic elements I often get the trans men who argue for this stuff lecturing me about denying their agency and how they choose to be with lesbians. If yall want to date lesbians that’s fine, I literally cant stop you nor care to. It’s worth noting though, that there have been plenty of instances of trans men voluntarily dating straight men, yet we dont have this community push to validate straight men chasers and their trans boyfriends. For good reason, too.  I am not saying trans men need to be “kicked out” of lesbian spaces, I understand the solidarity between our communities. That solidarity will always exist. (And again I want to point out for the most part they are NOT being kicked out or excluded. Trans fems are) And I understand that “man” doesnt always mean man in a binary sense, some people are nonbinary men and women and things aren’t always as clear cut. As a transmasc, nonbinary lesbian I understand that. This does not apply to you. I just want people to please take note of the transphobic, specifically transmisogynistic overtones that accompany a widespread push to have trans men as a group be considered as exceptions to lesbian attraction. 

“Socialization” is a term/theory directly weaponized against transfeminine people, especially by transmisogynistic liberals/progressives and TERFs. They frequently point to “male socialization” of trans women to justify their exclusion and abuse. They point to trans masc’s “female socialization” to cast us as safer, more trustworthy, more authentic voices in feminism/women’s issues. They are directly related. It’s biological essentialism dressed up in progressive language.

thanks for the trauma dump and hypothesizing about how 1 trans woman identified and why that justifies you seeing all trans women as less fundamentally lesbian than you are because of "how they were raised" aka biology. I wont be fully reading it though and I will be blocking you

a misogynistic society is so threatened by the concept of trans women - women that "had the opportunity" to be privileged men and chose not to - that they start making up privileges women have in order to explain why trans women exist. going into womens restrooms isnt a privilege, playing womens sports isnt a privilege, lesbianism isnt a privilege, yet they present them as such to try and explain why trans women are women for nefarious reasons. a misogynistic society will never understand that trans women have no ulterior motive for being women

the reason men are getting more conservative is very simply that as a class, as a socioeconomic group, their power is being threatened by womens civil rights. its the same reason for the broad surge in right wing politics. its called a backlash and its also why most civil war monuments are from the era of the black civil rights movement and not actually from the civil war.
