what i am tired of seeing is people mocking the effects of hormones (ie making fun of tif voices) or implying all tifs are stupid for buying into trans ideology (good for you that you avoided our fate, but many of us transitioned due to some combination of trauma and internalized misogyny. i would just hope for more empathy from fellow feminists)

By using "chosen" pronouns such as for tifs or tims, you are perpetuating the illusion of their rightness rather than being "polite." This behavior is harmful in any situation where a person engages in practices that are detrimental to them, but others not only remain silent but actively encourage them

It's better to be honest with your tif-friends and tim-fetishists than to give them the illusion that they should retreat into their distorted world

This is especially true for women. By referring to a woman with non-feminine pronouns, you are feeding her internal misogyny. Show her what it's like to be loved as a woman. Show her that being a woman is not shameful or limiting. Don't allow the patriarchy to use compulsive empathy against us, women.

This is not "personal life vs. political life," this is hypocrisy. If you are against fetishists who view being a woman as a costume and consider invading women's spaces a mandatory right, then you are against this. If you desire women's freedom, self-acceptance, and the eradication of misogyny and gender structures, you will not encourage the destruction of the identity of another woman you consider close to you. How can you claim to desire someone's happiness (as Rowling does) when you support their self-destruction and harm to others?

When women post this kind of content theyre doing their patriarchal duty of trying to groom other women into thinking "its normal and funny when your husband is a useless piece of shit".

That's the point of husband-complaining with zero intentions of leaving: they need to normalize it for themselves and others.

I can’t believe we live in a time where I am a racist because I don’t fuck with honour killings, the taliban, women being forced to cover up, children being married off because they’ve started their period, women being told that if they deny their husband sex angels will curse them when they sleep and a woman’s testimony being half that of a male.

None of you care about women and instead you’re too busy dyeing your fucking armpit hairs than talking about the real oppression out there that women are facing.

Somalia is almost entirely muslim. They recently attempted to change the age of marriage to 18 to prevent child marriage. It was overturned within 24 hours because so many men were against it and it didn’t align with islamic teaching.

like THIS??

Men engage in displays of power all the time. Women have an emotional/moral complex about it. I actually think we should selfishly promote individual displays of power, all the time. Like open carry is dumb as shit — how is it not effectively continuously brandishing? But I think women exclusively should be able to, because it is a display of real power. It’s nice, and necessary, to have backup plans. But it truly gives me a rush that I can walk at night, anywhere, wearing headphones, and I get left alone if I’m with my dog. Meanwhile if I am concealing a weapon like pepper spray or even a gun, the difference in intrusive male attention is insane.
