Rad-Leaning Trans Man (Side Blog)

The Stars Are Legion by Kameron Hurley is an all-female society in space. (TW for tokophobia though and honestly just check CWs idk how to warn for this. Zero males though so it's not a bad tradeoff)

The Hadra Archives series by Diana Rivers. I am only on the first book but it does feature women characters getting away from violent male societies into an all-female one. Ymmv if it counts since there are evil male antagonists outside their society, idk how much they will feature in the story yet.

Aside from these, a couple series from my TBR (have been sitting on my actual shelf unread for forever tbh T_T) are the Coral Dawn Trilogy by Katherine Forrest that seems to have an all-woman society separate from the other male-inclusive ones, (but is about lesbians so will hopefully not fall to the stupid ugly misogynistic trope about letting males in), and similarly the Isis trilogy by Jean Stewart that seems to be about lesbian amazon warriors rescuing women to live on their all-female planet. I also have The Wanderground: Stories of the Hill Women by Sally Miller Gearhart sitting here to read — and some of my friends have loved it and some found it too boring a utopian novel so ymmv again.

This is off the top of my head so I'll come back when I think of any more. Lesbians also feel free to let me know if I am making any horrible mistakes with my TBR pile lmao.

Modern day TRAs: man? A man? Proof that trans men have always existed?

Woman hiding her sex to serve her country: exists

Modern day TRAs: men? An man? There's no cisgender explanation for this!

Woman hiding her sex to avoid sexual abuse or forced marriage: exists

Modern day TRAs: a man! Only a trans man would not want to be raped or forcibly impregnated!! This is in no way regressive!

>I ask whether or not it's really Lesbian, or if it's actually about bi and/or trans women marketed to Lesbians to psychologically terrorize us with crouching tiger hidden penis

>they don't understand

>I describe the common tragedy among Lesbians that is trying to enjoy media for and by us only to be struck halfway through the story with the revelation of a conversion therapy narrative, which names our homosexuality as perverse and attempts to "correct" the Lesbian character's "exclusion" by inserting a male person somehow into her sex life because all these obsessed losers do is find indirect ways to fuck with us since we reject them to their faces

>they laugh

>"it's a Lesbian romance!"

>looks inside

Did you know though that the uterus has important functions besides having babies? Those functions include hormonal, anatomical, skeletal and sexual.

The uterus works with the ovaries and tubes to produce health promoting hormones- which are estrogen and progesterone. This is why hysterectomy can cause impaired ovarian function or complete ovarian failure. Also, these hormones don’t just help the reproductive system but estrogen has been shown to regulate immune response and increases the brains serotonin. The uterus is the most powerful organ in the body. During sex it is responsible for the intensity you feel in an orgasm.

Ovary removal (castration) or impaired ovarian function has been shown to increase risk for heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, hip fracture, impaired memory and cognition, dementia, parkinsonism, mood disorders, lung cancer, colorectal cancer, adverse ocular and skin changes, sleep disorders, more severe hot flushes, sexual dysfunction.

The uterus has anatomical functions. It separates the bladder and bowel and keeps them anchored in their proper places. Hysterectomy displaces these organs causing dysfunction especially down the road.

Hysterectomy also destroys skeletal integrity since the uterus' ligaments are the support structures for the pelvis. Again, the RS is more than just “having babies” it interacts with the rest of your body and organs.

I know this is a “solution” for things like endometriosis but a hysterectomy with or without ovary removal is not a cure for endometriosis (endo) since endo implants / lesions exist throughout the pelvis. Many women still experience chronic pain even after this procedure.

I had a hysterectomy in 2019. They left my ovaries, but took my cervix without asking, beforehand.

I was NOT told these things. I did not give consent to part of my surgery, and I did NOT give informed consent to ALL of it - because I was not informed!

Don't get a hysterectomy if you can avoid it, please.

There are other options.

I'm nervous as hell for my future and it didn't have to be this way. Those fuckers lied to my face, brushed over the details, and they WILL do it to you too.

Isn't this thee cyberpunk dystopia or whatever everyone was afraid of 10ish years back? Human bodies being defined as "just parts" and categorized in 1) needed for survival and 2) no harm done in harvesting that organ/body part.

The failed Sex/Medical education and mis/omitted- information of women's bodies paired with capitalism will certainly work on that. We already have a "surrogate/incubator/egg" market. What's next? The uterus trans/implants everyone is talking about?

Reed, writing in The Free Press, says she was hesitant to raise her concerns because anyone who did was deemed a 'transphobe'.

The whistleblower told The Free Press that working at the center, which medically transitioned 600 children within two years, was: 'Like I was in a cult, and I had to de-program my way out of it.' 

Reed alleged, in a sworn affidavit, that the hospital openly lied about not performing sex-transitioning surgeries on minors - claiming one doctor, Dr. Allison Snyder-Warwick, performed one at the hospital in the last few years.

In her affidavit, Reed said in one instance a girl was prescribed cross-sex hormones because she did not want to become pregnant.

'There was no need for this girl to be prescribed cross-sex hormones. What she needed was basic sex education and maybe contraception,' she said, adding that a basic assessment of her case would have revealed that.

'But because the doctors automatically prescribe cross-sex hormones or puberty blockers for children meeting the bare minimum criteria, this girl was unnecessarily placed on drugs that cause irreversible change to the body.'

We fucking told you this would happen but no we're just bigoted bitches who won't fuck fetishists.

The law suits are coming.

Thank you, I'm fine! and cool that you like the cat pictures ❤️ I'll make a separate post for you just containing cat pictures

and thank you so much for saying that! ❤️❤️

yeah, so @wild-wombytch refers to a post that deals with a person who got a tumor from HRT. They have made a post in a mainstream trans subreddit and the people on there got mad at them, because they didn't want to recognise the downsides of HRT:

So this is just a whole other level. People hating on OP because they got a brain tumor is so despicable. These people can rot in hell

(Also, if you want to use my post to make fun of OP for having a brain tumor, enjoy getting blocked 🥰 I try to make this a welcoming place for people who are transitioning, detransitioning or having problems with their medical transition. If you can't handle that, please fuck off)

The specific kind of tumor this person is talking about, a pituitary brain tumor, is (as stated) probably linked to HRT in trans women. This reminds me of the myriad of posts by trans women talking about galactorrhea. Galactorrhea refers to the spontaneous lactation without having given birth or breastfeeding a baby, which can occur in women and men. And what is the most common cause for Galactorrhea?

the most common cause of galactorrhea is a benign tumor in your brain. Even though benign tumors are not as dangerous as cancerous tumors, they can still cause severe dysfunction over time, because they can still grow slowly and compress vital areas of the brain. It's definetly not a topic to be joked about.

I was able to find a ton of "I am spontaneously lactating as a trans woman, is this normal"-posts in the span of seconds. Remember: Galactorrhea, a condition that is most commonly caused by a brain tumor. And what are the responses?

keep in mind: this person probably had not only been lactating, but even had blood in their nipple discarge. Up to a fifth of women who have that sign of discharge have a malignant cause for it - I can't imagine that the prospect for biological males on HRT is much better.

so yeah, instead of telling them to go see their doctor or anything, they link them to r/AdultBreastfeeding - it's a fetish subreddit for people who have a lactation fetish and want to induce lactation.

I mean, a large amount of the stuff I post here is kinda funny and absurd, but if you get a bit deeper in these online echochambers, it gets really dark real quick. Where did we go from "everyone should live their lives as they wish" to "downplaying brain cancer to own the terfs"? And this doesn't mean that every trans woman should immediately stop their HRT just to prevent that from happening. That's not what I'm saying here. I'm just saying that these people genuinely don't seem to care about anything other than their ideology, and even medical professionals are seen as "lying" and "bigoted", and people with brain tumors are accused of "attacking the trans community". How is this not a cult??

Even benign tumors can be very dangerous. Placement, size, pressure, it all has an effect. Especially on the brain.

unrealistic female beauty standards: weak, prey, helpless, porn star, sex object, sex symbol, sex doll, fetish, porn, jerk off material

There is one criteria for being a woman, one box you have to check, and that is being biologically female. You can be literally anything else as long as you check that box, masculine or feminine, a Russian housewife or a Portuguese construction worker or British cottagecore lesbian or American cowherder. 

That is…. so much more liberating than thinking womanhood is femininity, or lipstick, or shaving your legs, or wearing skirts, or conforming to misogynistic ideals, or somehow “feeling” like a woman. 

last night i was having this vagina state of mind so i took a cab instead of walking home alone

last week i was having this vagina state of mind so i had to wash my sheets because i mentally bled on them

when i was born i unfortunately had this vagina state of mind so i was socialised like a girl and told people like me are inferior

on the flip side, when "lesbian" is actually used as a content descriptor, you can guarantee a male will be involved (threesome/poly usually). there's no critical thought beyond "two women kiss this is lesbian!!!"

A great example of the trans community not being able to stick to one story. For the longest time they said that sex couldn’t be changed, but gender could. Then they started saying that both gender and sex change at the same time. Now some are pushing for the idea that sex changes but gender doesn’t? And nobody can agree with each other within the trans community on this, but you bet they’ll call you a bigot if you’re confused by it too.
