AFAB (Assigned Feminist At Birth)

Welcome to tra-archive!

Hi radblr! I was sirona-ryan. You can call me Sirona, Rona, Ro or whatever you can come up with.

I originally started this new blog as a receipts blog, but because of personal stuff I’m less available to be online, so as of now I’m no longer a receipts blog🫡This is subject to change!

About me: I’m 22, I’m bisexual, I’m autistic, I’m in a relationship with a wonderful woman, and I’m a first year teacher. I’ve been a feminist since I was little, but I didn’t get into radical feminism until about 2021. I had my terf awakening when TRAs called me names for not wanting women to be called “menstruators.”

I am also a survivor of CSA and my feelings on sharing about it are conflicting. Sometimes I post about my experience and sometimes I don’t want to think about it at all. Please don’t send me asks about the specific events, if/when I’m open to questions I will make it known.

On this blog I post receipts of TRAs being bigoted (racism, homophobia, misogyny, ableism, etc.), men being misogynistic, general feminist stuff (calling out beauty culture, the porn industry, etc.), rants about everything, and random thoughts I have that I just want to get off my mind.

This blog is pro-woman, pro-LGB, pro-abortion, and pro-intersectionality. This blog is anti-conservative and anti-MAGA. If you like that sex pest in office, go right ahead and block me.

You may send asks and anons, but I do have boundaries so please be respectful if you don’t want to get blocked. No receipts involving animal abuse.

Do not harass or brigade any of the blogs featured in receipt posts. I don’t support that behavior and we shouldn’t stoop to their level. That will result in a block. Also, no slurs. I don’t support using the T slur, plus it could get you and me termed.

You may not use misogynistic language (bitch, cunt, whore etc.) to talk about women. Remember that it’s not okay for any woman to be called those things, even women you hate. I’ll block you if I see you using misogynistic insults.

Here are the links to my tags, made for easy mobile browsing.

Receipts: Homophobia

Receipts: Misogyny

Receipts: Racism

Receipts: Violence (suicide bait, death/rape threats, doxxing, etc.)

Receipts: Sex vs Gender (TRAs not understanding the difference between sex and gender)

Receipts: General Stupidity (for everything that doesn't really fit the previous tags but is still hilariously stupid)

Yeah no problem! Here’s most of the acronyms I see used in radfem spaces:

TIM- trans identified male (trans woman/enby)

TIF- trans identified female (trans man/enby)

NB- non-binary (aka enby)

TRA- trans rights activist (btw I know they think we use this as an insult, but it’s literally just a descriptive term lmao, that’s what they are)

MRA- men’s rights activist

DNI- do not interact (TRAs say this a lot, like “TERFs DNI” but some radfems say it too, I used to have “conservatives/MAGA DNI” in my bio)

TERF- trans exclusionary radical feminist

GC- gender critical

HRT- hormone replacement therapy

GAC- gender affirming care (what TRAs like to call HRT and surgeries)

DSD- disorders of sex development (a more accurate and less colloquial term than “intersex” which some people do find offensive)

FEB- female-exclusive bisexual (so I describe myself as “feb” or a “febfem” which means I’m bisexual but choose to exclusively date women)

SSA- same-sex attracted

OSA- opposite-sex attracted

WOC/MOC- women/men of color

FWW- the subreddit r/FourthWaveWomen

4B- a feminist movement originating in South Korea which focuses on four things women shouldn’t do with men- date, marry, have sex, and have kids. The “B” is because the Hangeul character ㅂ is often romanized as “B” in English, and the 4 tenets of the 4B movement all start with the letter “비” (which is like the prefix non- or un-) which is also pronounced like the letter B, so it became 4B or “The Four Nos”

The following aren’t really acronyms but they’re still terms used in our spaces a lot that are kind of shortened and can be confusing:

Libfem- liberal feminist (so unlike a radfem who thinks the system needs to be torn down and rebuilt, a libfem usually prefers to try and fix the system we have, they also focus more on individual choices rather than examining the history behind those choices)

Rudefem- a feminist (usually a radfem) who doesn’t bother being nice or trying to engage with TRAs/MRAs/libfems, instead preferring to insult and crash out (this is me basically😭)

Nicefem- opposite of rudefem, they’re more likely to engage in civil debate

Factfem- a feminist who is more straightforward during debates and uses facts & statistics to get their point across

Febfem- like I mentioned above, a feminist who is bisexual but only dates women

Crypto- someone who is a radfem or terf but isn’t open about it, whether that’s because they’re still new and learning or because they’re in TRA circles and understandably don’t want to get harassed. They’re usually either completely anon (like many of my asks) or have an account with no terf/radfem content but secretly like radfem posts or send private asks/DMs

⚠️⚠️And finally, these acronyms can be triggering so I’m putting a read more. I’m only mentioning them here because I use these acronyms a lot as someone who has experienced these things and also wants to raise more awareness:

Here are some reminders:

-Nobody should ever lose human rights because of their sexuality.

-Pride started as a protest and we can largely thank Black lesbian women for fighting for our rights. Stormé DeLarverie specifically.

-Children belong at Pride. LGBT kids and teens deserve to feel included too, especially those who don’t have supportive families.

-It’s okay to use qu**r for yourself, but please don’t use it for the whole community. Many of us aren’t okay with it.

-It’s LGBT, not LGBTQIA+ and especially not 2SLGBTQIA+.

-There’s no such thing as “respecting each other’s beliefs” and “agreeing to disagree” when it comes to gay rights. There is no justification for homophobia, yes even if your bullshit religion says so. The only solution for homophobes is the Charlie Kirk treatment.

-Related to that last point, don’t give your money to homophobic companies (if you can). Chick-fil-A says “we can respect others without agreeing with all their beliefs” but being LGBT and thinking they deserve equal rights isn’t a fucking belief. There’s nothing to disagree with.

Agreed, “big pharma” definitely sounds like a conspiracy theory word💀Probably better to differentiate like you said.

Like I’ve argued with anti-vaxxers so many times and I fully believe they work and trust medical professionals. I also believe we should take medicine if we need it and I’m not one of those “all natural only” people. If a doctor recommends or prescribes a vaccine or medication, I’ll take it. I get the flu and Covid shots.

But at the same time I do believe that big pharma is a thing. I feel like this is especially evident with “gender affirming care,” like it’s not like those surgeries and hormones are cheap. (Yes many people do have insurance, but many others don’t and do pay out of pocket.) Considering how rare sex dysphoria actually is, you’d think there’d be a lot less people getting surgery or going on HRT, but it seems like the amount went way up especially after the 2020s. Also there’s a disturbing trend of young women, often autistic, getting “top surgery” and even hysterectomies. Idk, I hate to sound like a conspiracy theorist but…🤷🏻‍♀️

I blocked every single TRA who liked, reblogged and/or commented on a negative post about me (over 1000) so this is pretty much all I see in comment sections now lmao
