tumblr user puppygirlsisterrapist1488: it’s pride month and tumblr is literally killing us (banning our porn blogs) donate to my gofundme

its actually insane that on this website tags for, "lesbian, "female", "pregnancy" and "abortion" are all polluted with an ungodly amount of pornography, kinks, fetishes, and weird smut by men. by the fucking male trannies especially. Fucking hell they are exhausting and gross. how tf you gonna have an abortion KINK you fucking weirdos

@ the person who said “why can’t you guys just make your own spaces?” THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DO

Michfest was just a music festival for women only. They act like it was a sin that women created that space at all, which is ridiculous, especially considering all-men’s spaces like the Bohemian Grove existed concurrently and still exist. And didn’t Michfest actually allow trans women…?

It did. I met a couple when I went. Funny that even at a women’s event I was taking care of some random entitled straight white guy’s son (at brother sun)

yeah, could anything be more indicative of the priorities of transactivism? instead of organizing and working to confront the realities of “cis” male violence, which actively hurts transwomen, the true agenda always keeps coming out…

trans women were allowed into michfest, they also assaulted and harrassed women there, and were generally not a good addition, and they still had to destroy it. men relish in our pain, as they always have. 

No creation, just destruction of everything that doesn’t centre them

Just saw a "nature is q*eer" with a male seahorse as an example 😭😭😭😭😭 THESE PEOPLE DONT EVEN KNOW THE MECHANICS OF SEAHORSE REPRODUCTION! The male is not pregnant! He literally just incubates the eggs in a pouch! Again, quite telling when these people think pregnancy = just holding developing embryos

"Cis privilege" is a way for males to say that women have privilege over them in order to silence them

I’ll never forget when I was arguing with a person in favor of total prison abolition and I asked them “what about violent offenders?” And they said “Well, in a world where prisons have been abolished, we’ll have leveled the playing field and everyone will have their basic needs met, and crime won’t be as much of an issue.” And then I was like “okay. But…no. Because rich people also rape and murder, so it isn’t just a poor person thing. So what will we do about that?” And I don’t think they answered me after that. I’m ashamed to say I continued to think that the problem was that I simply didn’t understand prison abolitionists enough and that their point was right in front of me, and it would click once I finally let myself understand it. It took me a long time to realize that if something is going to make sense, it needs to make sense. If you want to turn theory into Praxis (I’m using that word right don’t correct me I’ll vomit) everyone needs to be on board, which mean it all needs to click and it needs to click fast and fucking clear. You need to turn a complex idea into something both digestible and flexible enough to be expanded upon. Every time I ask a prison abolitionist what they actually intend to do about violent crime, I get directed to a summer reading list and a BreadTuber. It’s like a sleight-of-hand trick. Where’s the answer to my question. There it is. No wait, there it is. It’s under this cup. No it isn’t. “There’s theory that can explain this better than I can.” As if most theory isn’t just a collection of essays meant to be absorbed and discussed by academics, not the average skeptic. “Read this book.” And the book won’t even answer the question. The book tells you to go ask someone else. “Oh, watch this so-and-so, she totally explains it better than me.” Why can’t you explain it at all? Why did you even bring it up if you were going to point me to someone else to give me the basics that you should probably already know? Maybe I’m just one of those crazy people who thinks that some people need to be kept away from the public for everyone’s good. Maybe that just makes me insane. Maybe not believing that pervasive systemic misogyny could be solved with a UBI and a prayer circle makes me a bad guy. But it’s not like women’s safety is a priority anyway. It’s not like there is an objective claim to be made that re-releasing violent offenders or simply not locking them up is deadly.

finding out the 4B subreddit is full of SWERFs is a big yikes.

The fuck were you expecting? One of the tenets of 4B is “Don’t have sex with men”. That’s like entering the vegan subreddit and getting mad there’s vegans there.

Y'all really do think prostituted women and girls are a special species who enjoy being subjected to the behaviours y'all won't tolerate from men. You cruise the 4B subreddit because men keep acting like buying you dinner means you owe them sex but us saying "yes and also it is horrible to be stuck in a situation where you're FORCED to let men have sex with you for money, where "the customer is always right" is taken to violent extremes in ways that make a job at McDonalds look like a kumbaya fest, because society is structured to create an underclass of women who have to choose between having sex with men they don't want to have sex with or starving" is beyond the pale? I get that the industry has insane PR; I'm guilty of falling for it too in the past, but if you're going to reject one societal institution with insane PR (heterosexual dating) then you might as well open your mind to criticisms of other ones.

y’all can deadass blame Drew Afualo for me going full on terf and proud. i do NOT care anymore. how can you, as a cis woman, deadass get on the internet and say that you stand by the opinion that trans women have a “better and more beautiful understanding of womanhood than cis women do” and then call every cis woman a terf bitch who disagrees? it’s no shock to me that so many feminists and women are jumping ship. y’all continue to constantly go into spaces meant for women and throw misogyny in our faces. we can’t speak on sex based violence, our biology, our childhoods, pregnancy, periods, and now even our own womanhood without it being redefined, or us being told to shut up OR being called insecure or a “terf” / transphobic for recognizing that there are differences between trans and cis women. whether y’all like it or not biology and socialization play a huge part, a trans woman will NEVER understand womanhood from the perspective of a biological woman who was born and raised a female. that doesn’t meant they aren’t “women” but trying to pretend they have a “better understanding” of womanhood is flat out invalidating and misogynistic. period. why are we even comparing anyway? it’s like they are asking for a further divide. i could seriously rant about this forever, i even have screenshots, im just glad she blocked me or i would’ve been arguing in her comment section on tiktok for years. this was nothing but a great reminder as to why i keep my opinions on this topic to myself. i genuinely am so done dealing with braindead idiots like her who purposely dance around the point then fall back on misogynistic rhetoric to project this allyship persona. you’re NOT an ally to cis women: that’s for sure.

I think a lot of transmisogyny stems from this idea that people are really scared to see a dick. The reason bathrooms and locker rooms and hot springs keep being flash points is because these are all places where if a trans woman is using them, it's possible you might see her dick. A lot of transmisogynistic humor revolves around being traumatized because the subject saw a woman with a penis. And look, to a certain extent I sympathize. I'm not a fan of dick; I dont want this thing either. But if you want to be an ally to trans women, I think a big important step you can take personally is to examine your own reaction to the scenarios I described above, and recognize that a dick is just a body part a girl has sometimes. Seeing it as inherently sexual and/or traumatizing is a major wedge conservatives use to justify their rhetoric

Blessed is consent and blessed is respect next to blessed are the sex workers 🫠

Not seeing “blessed are the lesbians, gay men, or bisexuals” on there at any point…
