don't care, bro

ok lemme fix this b/c once again, it’s clear that these people have never come into contact w/anyone gender-critical and actually listened

gender-critical feminist: we are here to abolish gender

anti-’terf’ individual: oh, so we won’t use gendered pronouns anymore?

gender-critical feminist: changing your pronouns doesn’t change the way you’re treated if you’re female (afab). this is missing the point, also, many of us will respect pronouns. many radical and lesbian feminists are detransitioned or in the process of re-identifying and are using/have used he or they pronouns.

anti-’terf’ individual: gendered clothing?

gender-critical feminist: regardless of sex, people should be able to wear whatever they want, especially comfortable and practical clothing. many of us are gnc or butch. we are highly critical of the makeup/beauty industry and femininity being forced on girls. we don’t believe in ‘lipstick strong enough to kill a man.’ we think clothes are clothes and a boy who wants to wear dresses is not a girl.

anti-’terf’ individual: segregated bathrooms?

gender-critical feminist: segregated bathrooms were created to give afab women protection from the sexual harassment and violence of amab men. trans women are amab and are still male-socialized and many even have male anatomy still. 

female bathrooms are not a refuge for everyone who suffers from male harassment and violence. they are for females. should we let gnc gay men into our bathrooms, too? fat men? how do we distinguish between a man and a male-passing trans woman who identifies as a woman on the inside? females have the right to safe spaces in their restrooms. 

many of us consider single-stall gender-neutral bathrooms a good addition to male and female bathrooms (not a replacement).

anti-’terf’ individual: So, we’re going to do something about the gender binary, yes? We’re going to attack the idea that gender is intrinsically linked to one’s anatomy, and we’re going to boost the visibility of trans and intersex people, who face the most violence consequences of the sex and gender binaries–yes?

gender-critical feminist: oh, you’re so close to the point! the gender binary is not the source of violence, though. gender itself is. 

gender is a set of expectations and rules forced on people due to their sex. afab people suffer far worse consequences from this than men, although we also have sympathy for gnc and transitioned males who suffer under patriarchy. we want to end the idea that one’s personality, interests, sense of style, etc all come as a package with one’s anatomy. 

we want to end the idea that females are made for male consumption and males should chase females. we oppose and critique male and female socialization and we want children to be raised in a gender-neutral manner. 

as for intersex individuals, there are many intersex radical and lesbian feminists and many of us are striving to become more aware of intersex issues. the abuse intersex people suffer at the hands of the medical industry often stems from violent reinforcement of heterosexuality (e.g surgery to allow penetration) or ableism (fixing ‘abnormal’ bodies even when it’s not medically necessary). 

there are actually only two sexes and intersex conditions are just naturally-occurring (though often non-functional, as they lead to infertility) variations on male and female.

anti-’terf’ individual: Then what are you going to do, exactly? What is your plan? How are you going to accomplish this?

gender-critical feminist: if you acquaint yourself with our actual theory and practice and not just straw-women, maybe you’d understand that. anti-’terf’ individual: how?

They don’t have a clue what radfems do or say, so they just make it up to make them even more hated. 

Lucy (or Lucia) Eldine Gonzalez was born around 1853 in Texas, likely as a slave, to parents of Native American, Black American and Mexican ancestry.[1] In 1871 she married Albert Parsons, a former Confederate soldier. They were forced to flee from Texas north by intolerant reactions to their interracial marriage.

Described by the Chicago Police Department as “more dangerous than a thousand rioters” in the 1920s, Parsons and her husband had become highly effective anarchist organizers primarily involved in the labor movement in the late 19th century, but also participating in revolutionary activism on behalf of political prisoners, people of color, the homeless and women.

Woaaah.

puberty blockers do not alleviate negative thoughts in children with gender dysphoria, finds study.

here’s a compilation of various sources that shows that the majority of children grow out of their dysphoria into healthy homosexual adults.

a study proving that the suicide rates increase after transition and that sex-reassigned people have considerably higher risks for suicidal behaviour and psychiatric morbidity.

another study showing that between 80% and 97.5% of transgender children later detransition.

“medical intervention may, in effect, become another form of ‘conversion,’ whereby some children who would otherwise have grown up gay or lesbian receive ‘gender affirming’ cross-sex treatments instead”.

there is significant evidence of transitioning being the new contagious social condition for teenage girls.

“evidence for puberty blockers use very low.”

transgender surgery provides no mental mealth benefit, another study says.

let’s talk then about the procedures and consequential effects of these long-term medical interventions you so easily dismissed:

gender transition procedures for minors must be considered experimental procedures at best.

‘transition’ treatment harms kids, veteran psychiatrist at UK gender clinic says

please read what detrans people have been saying as well:

“for the past four years I’ve been stuck as a child.”

“I was a transgender woman for 8 years — time I can’t get back.”

“I was an unhappy girl who needed help. instead, I was treated like an experiment.”

Don't defend your oppression

As said above, the numbers are low. It's mostly gay men being killed by other men; the background context is often prostitution. This is why most of those murders happen in latin america (254 out of 350) where there are lots of impoverished gay men who end up as prostituted transvestites. People in prostitution have an in incredibly low life expectency. But hey, keep calling it "empowering" and "sex positive" and us feminists "sex worker exclusionary" or whatever. The countries where trans people have been killed the most are Brazil, Mexico, Colombia and the USA.

8 people in the entire continent of Europe, 9 in Africa, 37 in Asia. 0 in Canada, 0 in Spain, 0 in Portugal, 0 in England, 0 in Sweden... Those are very low numbers.

The 41 of the USA could be linked to the higher population and an easy access to guns. Though I suspect, in the USA as well, prostitution might play a part. And with prostitution often comes drug deals.

The stats confirm that, most commonly, the victim's profession is prostitute, he is a male and the place of the killing is "the street, a field, forest, roadway, under a bridge, construction site, empty lot, abandoned building, car, van, hotel, motel, night club, bar, client's residence, park". And the victim is most likely to be a man of colour because the murders happen mostly in countries where people of colour live. They're killed by other men of colour.

It's pimps and "clients" and drug dealers doing the killings. You can't defend prostitution and then claim to support trans people, it seems to me.

They say "oh it's because of terfs, and transphobia in the media!" It's got nothing to do with the media, generally, and it certainly has nothing to do with feminists, who, by the way, never kill anyone. Trans people have never been this popular and supported in their entire, and admittedly short, history. Of course it comes with a conservative backlash, but that's not what's driving those killings, most of the time. In fact, in most countries, there are no killings at all. Zero. More disturbingly, in some countries, it's more likely that a "trans woman" will be a murderer than a murder victim. As was the case in Canada, where a man winked at the security camera before getting into the elevator to see his girlfriend or ex, stabbing her 23 times and mutilating her face, and then suffocating their two little girls (5 and 2 years old). He was sent to a women's prison during the trial, during which he showed up with a blond wig and claimed to be an "examplary mother" and a "soccer mom". The jury disagreed, he was convicted and sent back to a men's prison.

So, not to be too cynical about death, but that's a really low number overall. 350 out of an estimated 413 million trans people? That's not even one a day. And if half of it is happening in the same few countries, it means in most of the world, it's not happening. To put things into perspective, men kill a woman or girl every 10 minutes in the world. And they do so in western countries as well, because the murders are not circumstantial. They are part of an oppressive system. And that's not counting the attempted murders.

The thing is, trans people get lumped in "LGBT" stats, but when you look at it, it's gay men who are attacked the most, then lesbians, then bisexuals and then, far below, a tiny number of transvestites. Yet they call it a "holocaust."

If you try to find the statistics of gay people being killed, you'll have to dig, because most of the articles that come up are about trans people, despite being the least likely to be killed.

I type: "how many GAY people killed in 2024" on google and get:

Article 1: LGBTIQ people Article 2: Transgender Day of Remembrance, Transgender people Article 3: Murders of trans people Article 4: 350 transgender people murdered this year Article 5: Hates crimes motivated by gender identity Article 6: Suicide rates for queer and trans people Article 7: LGBTQ hate Article 8: LGBT homicide Article 9: Violence against transgender and gender-expansive people Article 10: 350 transgender people murdered in 2024 Article 11: LGBT victimization in the USA Article 12: LGBTQI+ Article 13: LGBTQ people Article 14: Trans Day of Remembrance

I think it's also worth noting that we very unfortunately reached a record high number of femicide in Brazil in 2024, there were 1492 victims (source). In september 2025, there were already 1027 victims of femicide, and 2700 victims of attempted femicide (source). Where's women's day of remembrance? Who is fighting for these women?
