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.

about how I see remaining HP fans at this point

Your post literally says "kills trans people machine" which is on its face ridiculous, I'm not sure how you expected anyone to take you seriously enough to stay "on topic" if there was one.

The actual fucking website of said foundation (which is literally called the J.K. Rowling Women's Fund) that explicitly works to exclude trans women from women's spaces and strip legal protections

Look, your url is literally "ex-tgirl", I'm not convincing you of anything, you probably cheer at this shit, but I still feel it's important to point out.

I drew "kill trans people machine" as a simplified representation of her views, because this is a stick figure art, not an essay on the specific kind of transphobia she believes in and advocates for- which does not outright state the goal of killing trans people but, like all transphobia, does still have the goal of eliminating trans people from public life entirely and permanently. I don't think metaphor or representation is a particularly hard artistic concept to grasp, so I didn't clarify that in the caption, and apparently I was wrong about that too. Sorry for the confusion.

As you so clearly laid put, her orgs are setup to protect female spaces by removing males and cementing legal protections for that perpouse.

There's no murder involved, no one is killing "transwomen" they are simply having the additional "right" to womens spaces removed.

actually i’d rather vulnerable women (homeless, drug addicted, immigrants, abused, etc,) had support from social services able to rehabilitate, support, house, and help them so that they dont have to resort to prostitution to survive

In high school and the first part of college, i was very dysphoric and thought I was non-binary because I thought I “wasn’t like other girls” because I didn’t fit in with misogynistic stereotypes. I couldn’t escape libdem ideas and always felt claustrophobic. Classic. I also was severely depressed and had an eating disorder that landed my in the hospital and almost got me removed from university. I had no self confidence and felt disconnected from other women.

Then, right after college I landed a job on a wilderness trail crew with the US Forest Service. By some stroke of luck I ended up on a four-woman crew. They were some of the most amazing, strong and hard working women I’ve met.

We spent the days using crosscut saws to remove fallen logs from the trails (think old-timey logger two-person saws), chopped smaller logs with axes, moved huge boulders with our bodies, and hiked 10-12 miles a day carrying about 60 pounds of gear each. It was amazing. Over one summer we cleared about 300 miles of trail, just the four of us.

It was an awakening for me. While I’d done manual labor growing up, it was always in the presence of men. With men, they insinuated I wasn’t as strong, tried to do my work for me, or showed off, etc. With my crew of awesome ladies, the environment was so different. We were strong, yes, but we met difficult tasks with effective communication and creative use of our body mechanics, instead of “brute strength.” There was no derision, no judgement, no mind games that there would have been if men were present.

Throughout the summer I stopped thinking of myself as non-binary. I stopped feeling shame in being a woman, and began to feel connected with my body for the first time in years. I started believing in myself again.

How many young women look at COMPLETELY UNREALISTIC depictions of femininity in media and culture and feel totally disconnected??

For me it was the holistic birth movement, and being with other pregnant women- the theme is female solidarity over tremendously powerful physical achievements.
