here for a good time not a long time

Trans men and cis women have a lot in common with each other that neither have in common with you. That isn’t your fault, obviously, but when you act like solidarity between trans men and cis women is collusion against you and your very identity as a woman, it makes it seem like you view womanhood as a fun girl’s club you aren’t being included in. At best, anyway. At worst, it looks like you actively oppose female solidarity, which… is only just barely distinct from actively opposing feminism.

Trans men shouldn’t have to hold your hand when they talk about the oppression they face for being female. They shouldn’t have to think about your feelings when they complain about periods or pregnancy or menopause. They shouldn’t have to worry they’re ostracizing you when they talk about their own childhoods as female children.

(in a reply to someone arguing that "Trans women are targeted and affected by "female oppression" all the time.")

I guess I wasn't aware that the taliban had also made it illegal for trans women to speak to each other, or go out in public without being covered from head to toe. I guess I didn't know that trans women are also more likely to die in car crashes even though they are significantly less likely to cause them. I guess I forgot that 12 states in the US have also banned abortion for trans women. And I must've forgotten, too, that the leading cause of death in pregnant trans women is homicide. I had no idea that 1 in 5 trans women were child brides, or that 5% of trans women are victims of female genital mutilation. Go figure. You are conflating transgender oppression with female oppression. Trans women are oppressed, but it's not for being female. That just isn't true, though. All intersex variations are classified as either male or female. Absolutely all of them. To say that, for example, ambiguous genitalia makes someone "less male" or "less female" than other individuals of their sex is intersexist. That is neither here nor there, though. Intersexism is absolutely an important topic of discussion, but it isn't what this post is about.

people act like that's really hard but its really not considering all you have to do is have female default when asking "what can we do to help these people" rather than male default. at least 50% of whatever group you're talking about is probably women. further: helping women will help the children too.

Like, back in the Old Days that would be a way that women would actually socialize.  So if a girl had a doll tea party, she was imitating her mom / other contemporary women.

But these days contemporary women don’t have tea parties. So now, the idea of “dolls having a tea party” is an echo of an extinct behavior, only repeated and referenced because it used to be so prevalent.

A man in a dress is killed maybe once per month on average.

A woman? Every 10 minutes, often by domestic partners and almost exclusive by men.

Trans women are men. You will never convince me that their delusional entitlement makes them women. In fact, the more they push and the more bullshit is spouted on the topic of their supposed "oppression," the more I'll continue to champion against them.

in short, men kill other men because of homophobia

on the root of homophobia? any civilization seeks to perpetuate the material conditions that maintain it in the first place. Patriarchy is a good example of this: fathers raping their daughters to produce labor, profit, and sons that would repeat the cycle.

Homosexuals do not reproduce, that's why every empire/religion treated it like a disease. Homophobia today is the result of this aggregated discrimination

About 15 years ago, I was given a stack of Cliffs Notes booklets from a bookstore that was going out of business. I’ve always enjoyed reading criticism after finishing a book, so I was happy to take them. I’m slightly embarrassed to say I’m just reading Jane Eyre for the first time. Ugh. Okay, that said, I went to my pile of Cliffs Notes and found that Jane Eyre was among the booklets I had. I then noticed the name and address sticker pictured here. Curiosity got the best of me, and I decided to look her up.  This is what I found:
