I'm helping out with spreading the word and sharing invites to a few radfem-focused websites I'm part of!

One of these websites is a friend's project of making a radfem version of reddit which will be launching soon, in which radfem women (such as women of color, lesbian women, detrans women, disabled women, working-class women, women from countries in the global south, survivors, nonconforming women, and any other demographics of radfem-supporting women & girls — including TIFs) will be able to make their own communities to chat in, share links and resources, have discussions on different topics from a radfem perspective. (Please DM me if you'd like to join this new site to start some communities of your own! 🙏💖)

... And in the long-term I'm hoping to work on learning how to code to eventually create my own small female-friendly website similar to reddit as well. A website that is not explicitly labelled radfem or feminist, for safety reasons.

So, I'm wondering if any other radical feminist women on this site, especially women of color, women living outside of the USA, lesbian women, & other biologically female (AFAB) people who've felt alienated or excluded in online spaces, would feel comfortable reaching out to me over DM to give me any advice and feedback on building an inclusive, intersectional female-friendly website, and to share about experiences that have alienated them from other feminist online spaces and why existing spaces for feminist women online have not been useful or beneficial to them as much as they may have hoped. I'd especially also love to connect with other women in the tech field who are open to sharing their knowledge or any resources or giving any advice, motivation, or support to me as I learn how to code (or if any newbies want to learn to code together with me! 💖)

It's lonely seeing how eager most HP fanfic writers and readers are to behave misogynistic enough to put down JKR's writing skills solely because they hate that she sticks up for the rights and privacy of women, girls, and all female people.

I don't think most people in the Harry Potter fandom actually care about all gender-dysphoric people, if any, anyway because if they did, they'd realize that many JKR supporters and many "TERFs", radfems, and gender-critical feminists actually have suffered from dysphoria themselves but chose not to transition or identify as trans, while many others are female detransitioners who still struggle with gender dysphoria.

Plus if most of you actually cared about all trans people, than why are so many of you virtue-signallers so eager to suppress any news or knowledge about the high risks of complications, side-effects, and mortality rates of "bottom surgeries"? There's kids, teens, and young adults who've literally died as a result of the complications from bottom surgery! It's horrific and you should care if you care about all trans people! Even a few deaths from medical malpractice like this are far too many!

I admire JKR for being brave and empathetic enough to speak up about things like this, (and for being vulnerable enough to admit that she's suffered from dysphoria in her essay), because only if the general public becomes more aware of how prevalent this sort of medical malpractice is — that's the only way that doctors, researchers, and surgeons will actually make more efforts to improve upon the safety of trans surgeries and decrease the risks of complications or of dying from these surgeries!

That being said... are there others in the HP fandom who secretly still support JKR or who don't wish that she would get raped and murdered for being a "TERF"? I'm just so sick of "trans rights supporters" justifying rape/death/violence threats towards women for being feminists and for caring about female-only spaces (which is something that matters a whole lot in third world countries like India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, by the way! Look up the rape statistics there, and how lack of access to safe spaces to use bathrooms away from males, especially in rural areas, has contributed to high frequency of rapes in some regions!)

As someone who has suffered from dysphoria for most of my life, I support JKR! ❤ (See some of my other posts if you want to understand why, especially my pinned post!)

Please reblog this if you are a JKR supporter too and/or want to be fandom friends please! ❤

I deleted my Ovarit account a while ago because it was becoming uncomfortably conservative but I still lurk from time to time and I've definitely noticed the insane amount Trump apologia and Harris demonization coming from Ovarit and similar internet groups. So many women voted for Trump. So many women are identifying as "gender critical" or "radfem" or "TERFs" online despite having 0 feminist leanings and 0 critical views on gender beyond "trans = icky". It's bleak. I hate MAGA women being anti-choice, anti-gay, anti-POC, etc etc etc and still having the audacity to call themselves radical feminists because the meaning of radical feminist has been twisted into "anyone who is against TRAs". Sorry if this is too negative. I'm just really bummed out and I feel like female solidarity is bullshit. I cannot and will not have "solidarity" with women who hate women. Attempting to reach out to these women and include them in feminism is a horrible idea because they just steal feminist and GC talking points and use them to push their own bullshit trad agenda. I am so done with racist, homophobic women. No better than their racist, homophobic Nigels.
