Yeah whatever you say

Hey just a reminder, Black cisgender women do not have a higher level of testosterone than white cisgender women and racist pseudoscience is bad even if you’re citing it to defend trans people 👍

Something I’ve seen way too many times is that there will be some kind of controversy over a white trans woman in a sport and someone will pull up a photo of a cisgender Black woman who is a teammate or opponent or an athlete in a completely different sport and they’ll say “who looks more like a man to you? Checkmate transphobes” and if you do this or think that this is funny I hope you get hit by a car and bleed out slowly

Cant make this shit up

Seriously though why is the prostitution debate always surrounded by women’s choices? What about men’s choice to dehumanize a woman by literally purchasing her body for his own pleasure? What about the ancient demand of ownership of our bodies? Why do those get taken out of the equation when liberal feminists talk about rape culture + patriarchy?

“If we want to discuss the issue of choice, let’s look at who is doing the actual choosing in the context of prostitution. Surely the issue is not why women allegedly choose to be in prostitution, but why men choose to buy the bodies of millions of women and children worldwide and call it sex.”  - Janice Raymond, Not a Choice, Not a Job

The sex industry by design is in opposition to women exercising choice. You relinquish choice when you turn something into a job. Ergo, your right to sexual selection is forfeited as a prostituted woman. HE is the one CHOOSING YOU. Not the other way around. There is no clearer illustration of a loss of power that you are denying a woman the right to choose her sexual partners based on who SHE likes.

We have regressed back to the medieval age with the way some women want to believe their womanhood should be based on literally ANYTHING else but the fact that they have a material, physical body. This is how much they hate themselves and want themselves to disappear. This is how much they want to become mere abstract thoughts and ideas who linger in the void: they think reminding them of their body reduces them to a thoughtless beast.

and today immigrated women - mostly from eastern europe - are sexually exploited in german brothels by german men and people call it feminism because its their #choice to be prostituted. fucking joke

Just so we’re clear, if I point out that you did something racist, that’s not the same as me thinking you’re irremediably terrible. You did a racist thing.

You think you don’t do racist things, homophobic things, etc? You do. I caught myself in fat phobic and homophobic lines of thinking/speech just this morning. I’m fucking gay married. Nothing disqualifies you from acting in a way that reflects the society you exist in. We are obliged to fight it. Why not fight it in honesty and with camaraderie?

Look I know this is a scientific publication but you don’t understand— we need to include milk and cookies in the photo. We have to. Otherwise the science suffers

There is nothing enlightened or progressive about ancient cultures being inclusive of eunuchs/effeminate men or allowing certain men to be grouped with women. Femininity was never about womanhood, it was always non-masculinity. A man can be degraded to femininity, but a woman, seen as naturally inferior scum, can never rectify her status.

As someone with an anthropology degree, it frustrates me how few people understand this. The concept of a "third gender" in other cultures is almost exclusively used as a place to "downgrade" a gay or otherwise non-traditional man into some lower but semi-useful (and often extremely objectified and "othered,") space in society. Women who are lesbians or non-traditional don't get to move into a "third gender" category. The rare instances where this has been seen, it's always strictly symbolic and very much to the woman's detriment. This cultural practice, where present, is entirely a result of homophobia and misogyny.
