just saw someone on here say that "being on the right side of history" is the leftist version of "going to heaven" and i was like damn....

i do think what gets ignored about carrie as a character is that she’s an incredibly easy target to bully; she’s a chubby, sheltered acne ridden teenage girl who wears frumpy grandma clothes and regurgitates the jesus freak shit her violently abusive mother tells her. she has violent thoughts about her classmates and is uncomfortable to be around. she’s far more interesting being a victim that’s somewhat uncomfortable to be in the head of than a tragic waif. she’s not a martyr, she’s a child and a child who’s been victimised her whole life shouldn’t have to be kind and angelic to be recognised as a victim. suffering teenage girls shouldn’t just be presented on screen as toned down glamorous thin ophelias, suffering teenage girls can be fat and poor and think violently. i do think we need to examine why culturally we need teenage girls to be beautiful and kind to valorise their suffering and treat it as bad

it is actually truly crazy that everything i know and believe about trans people directly comes from their words and actions. from reading trans blogs online, from trans people i know, from activists. meanwhile the average trans person has never heard a "terf" speak despite professing vitriolic hatred towards her. but i, a person who ends up hanging out with them and is friendly with them as part of hobby groups, am a brainwashed bigot who's never met a real trans person.

for a group that supposedly doesn't want to be around others they sure spend a lot of energy on trying to force themselves into spaces where they don't belong...

Personally, I am a huge supporter of trans female separatism. Make your own spaces, live in your own shelters, make your own schools. Get out of women's spaces.

The way radfems and terfs have such misogynistic and ugly views of women... and it's only this very narrow version of women, a woman that is pale and fragile and faints at the sight of a man... you have the same idea of what a woman is as a 18th century man, who thought train travel and bike riding could disorient a fucking uterus.

Posts that go hard if you're stupid or whatever you people like to say

where's that post about how the "op is a terf block and stay safe" campaign worked so well that no one actually knows what radfems believe

Isn’t it interesting how a form of privilege (being rich or white) will cancel out a form of oppression (misogyny) when it comes to women, but when it comes to men, it's the opposite? A form of oppression (being poor, disabled, gay, black, etc) will cancel out a form of privilege (being a man)? 🤔🤔🤔

prev post “sex work is work” is a psyop by the sex industry change my mind. Self-proclaimed madames on social media who promote sex work as a safe and desirable profession aim to recruit girls and women into prostitution. They’re not nice “girl’s girls” They’re pimps who move like Ghislaine Maxwell.

The thing is. As soon as you conflate sex and gender. Poof. The language of women is gone. The key to understanding our oppression at the most basic level is gone. Feminism is meaningless. We are undone.

very funny seeing people on here criticize "born this way" rhetoric for stifling them in their self-identification. so you agree? unlike the rest of us, lgb people, you were not born this way?
