Their bodies are getting used to Progesterone on a way it never was

God forbid trans women being horny

This whole thread is just blatantly transphobia and puritanism

And even if being against these predators’ ‘girl horny’ was puritan, I’d prefer to be puritan than indulge and condone their pornographic views.

Besides, they think their weird sexual arousal is comparable to the female orgasm because they don’t actually know what the female arousal and orgasm is like outside of the porn that convinced them they’re a woman.

I naturally produce more T, I’ve taken Progesterone. I do not act like that when I’m horny. I don’t arch my back, I don’t do any exaggerated sex poses, I don’t wish for anyone to choke me, I don’t become submissive. These are all sexual caricatures of women.

This type of rhetoric is very harmful with the implication that women, by nature, are inherently submissive and enjoy BDSM (which is misogynistic in nature), caused by hormones. Obviously— this is not true. Not all women are submissive, not all women enjoy BDSM, and not all women are overtly horny all the time.

To put it bluntly: these are men that don’t know nothing about being a women. They are acting out in ways that is misogynistic, and is shown in sexualized media. It is insulting, it is disgusting, it is misogynistic.

hey dumbfucks have u forgotten about the last few hundred years where homosexuals have been beaten, raped, tortured, and murdered for being homosexual?

remember this little thing called the 1980s AIDS crisis that killed an entire generation of gay men because it was seen as "gay cancer" and governments across the globe didnt give a fuck til straight ppl started dying from it?

does "conversion therapy" and "corrective rape" ring a bell?

what about gays and lesbians having their own triangle during the holocaust?

do countries where homosexuality still carries a prison sentence not count? what about the seven countries where homosexuality carries a literal death sentence? how about same-sex marriage being illegal in 51% of all countries worldwide? or engaging in "homosexual activity" being illegal in 31% of all countries? or conversion therapy being legal in 81% of all countries?

did you know that gender-affirming care is only banned in 7% of all countries? did you know that some countries with homosexuality bans still provide gender-affirming care and/or allow people to legally change their gender?

but sure, trans people are the first group to ever experience oppression, including but not limited to: not being able to jerk off in the women's bathroom anymore. homophobia did not exist until 2016, when hatred for homos was created as a side effect of transphobia.

B) his wife just went through labor and birth and he actively WANTED to piss her off in this vulnerable situation

C) he wanted to name his daughter after a porn star, meaning he just sees women as sex objects, EVEN HIS NEWBORN DAUGHTER. And everytime he says her name, he'll think of sex (absolutely disgusting)

D) he actually told his daughter about who she's named after, probably wanting to humiliate her and "put her in her place."

I explained very clearly to the manager my issue with the meat section not having the price tags listed, and they claimed it was only going to be for the meat, since meat is by weight, and the price of each item is printed on the packs of each item.

Sure. That’s how they get their foot in the door. Fast forward not even two weeks, and here we are:

Bar codes. No prices, no item descriptions. No price stickers on the individual items. Heck, not even the name of the item that is SUPPOSED to be there.

No. The only way to see the price is to scan it on your phone app, which is also recording what you looked at recently, as a way of gauging what you might be looking for in the future.

So here’s what we’re gonna do gang:

Every time you go into a store that has implemented these price-less tags:

Take 1-3 items up to the cash register. Ask the cashier for the price, or hit the price check item on the self checkout, which will likely call over the attendant.

Express that you didn’t actually want it, you just couldn’t see on the shelf how much it was.

POLITELY, AND WITH A THANK YOU FOR THE PRICE CONFIRMATION, Give the items to the cashier or attendant to put back.

When they inevitably try to push the app, politely decline. If pressed for why not, say you don’t want to have to carry your phone in-hand the whole time you are shopping in order to see how much things cost. (Not having cell service or data to use the app is NOT a valid excuse, as stores already often have complimentary WiFi AND more stores will provide WiFi rather than give up on this push for surveillance pricing)

If it’s a shelf-stable item, the cashier will have to set it aside, taking up room in their limited operating space, and eventually pass it off to someone to put in a holding area to put back later. If it’s a fridge/freezer item, it might have to get tossed due to food product sale regulations.

In either case, you are making it a pain in the ass for them to have these digital bar codes. Tie up the checkouts. Give the employees more busywork that the company has to pay them to do. Hurt their bottom line having to toss the pint of ice cream you carried around in your cart for 20 minutes before giving it back to the cashier.

If they push the app, say you don't have a phone. At all.

They haven't got the hang of pronouns yet, everyone is a 'he' because that's what they're called even if I just referred to Grandma as 'she' in the previous sentence. They've only recently stopped saying 'Good boy, Mumma!' when I do something like wash my hands. They're pretty good with understanding different biology but, on a social and language level, they've never divided people into different categories based on that or gender identity. They do know that I'm a girl/woman, it's just that the term holds similar weight to saying someone is tall or short or mentioning the colour of the eyes, and they apply the terms inconsistently. Their default setting to people and language has been gender neutral.

It makes sense that they've got a shaky grasp of the whole concept: they're four. They're starting to spell out words and do some addition but also still learning how to correctly say my full not-mum name and understand that their dad was once a little baby in Nanna's 'tummy'. They'll probably keep referring to every human on earth as a 'he' for awhile longer.

But over the last few days they've started insisting that pink is my second favourite colour (it isn't) after purple (which they know is my favourite and will remind me of multiple times a day). They don't do this to their dad.

When I said 'it's a nice colour, but no it's not a favourite' there was genuine confusion from one of them. Awhile later, he asked 'Mumma, you're a girl?' I said I was, and he was quiet and thoughtful.

Later that night he told me pink is one of my favourite colours again. When I asked why he thinks that he could give me no explanation other than a confused 'it's pretty?'

I said 'It is pretty. Do you like it?'

Keep in mind pink was, very recently, one of his favourite colours. But he shook his head adamantly, eyes wide.

His brother thought about it too, and said 'Oh yeah, it is pretty! I love pink!' which confused the newly-pink-disliking twin further and you could practically see the gears turning in his head as he remained silent.

He's four. Last month he loved pink. He still loves cuddling his (very pink) rainbow kitty-cat fluffy toy and telling me how cute it is, so I doubt it's a genuine aversion to the colour. And he seems to be insisting he doesn't like it because it's 'pretty,' and assumes that girls must like it for the same reason.

We think he learnt it from one of the few days they're at kindy, from another four-year-old.

Only four and already being taught that prettiness and certain colours aren't for them, and are only for girls.

Then last night, as we were getting ready for bed, he casually said 'Girls are bad at swimming.' The same way he'll tell me 'Spinosaurus looked a bit like a crocodile,' 'octopuses have three hearts,' or 'a hexagon has six sides.'

I gently asked him what he said, he repeated it, and when I asked why does he think girls aren't good at swimming he said 'because girls aren't, boys are good at swimming.'

I told him that wasn't true, girls and boys can both be good at swimming.

He accepted it easily, just a happy 'Oh!' to receive new information. Smiling at me.

'Am I a girl?' I asked him.

'Yeah, you're a girl Mumma.'

'And do you think I'm good at swimming?'

'Oh, yeah!'

He was actually very excited with this revelation, that I'm a girl and good at swimming. He was happy to know girls aren't bad at swimming, this wasn't some inherent belief. And it definitely didn't form from his own experiences - we're Australian, the twins have never been swimming with anyone who isn't good at it. And I'm the one normally in the pool with them and I'm a good swimmer even by Australian standards.

I don't think it came from their kindy teachers either.

This is something else another four-year-old has said.

They're four. FOUR. And already sexism and toxic masculinity is creeping into their conversations, pressuring them to stop liking certain colours and pretty things, and to diminish the capabilities of girls.

I was worried about the manosphere influence my boys would be exposed to as they got older, and how to talk to them about that and the rising numbers of young men who think women aren't as smart as them and shouldn't be able to vote or work after marriage, etc.

I didn't think it would start in kindergarten.

And if my boys have heard it, the little girls in their class probably have too. Do they disagree with it openly? Internalise it? Will they mention it to their parents and have it corrected? (Did one of them hear it from their parents - it could be a little girl sharing it, this does coincide with two new girls joining the class.)

Just... what the fuck.

We are fighting so you don't have to wear that stupid scarf.. so what are you doing girl????why are you like a libfem ????????
