“you’re a masc lesbian so you secretly want to be a man”

granted i’m not a professional psychiatrist but i can’t think of any other mental illness where the unwell patient makes a statement about reality and that statement is “affirmed.” a patient with a restrictive ED states they need to be severely underweight to be worthy as a person, a patient with OCD states that if they don’t repeat same ritualistic behavior something terrible is going to happen to them, a patient with depression states that the world would be better off without them in it…all of these hypothetical patients are making statements about reality as a result of what their mental illness/disorder is telling them. but no therapist in their right mind would “affirm” any of these beliefs because they’re obviously the result of a mind that is unwell and “affirming” these individuals would just make them sicker by pushing them deeper into their unhealthy line of thinking.

the same cannot be said of gender dysphoria, where a patient states that they were born in the wrong body/they should have been the opposite sex and that belief about reality is then “affirmed” by medical professionals. in not all, but many cases it’s “affirmed” with barely any questioning/pushback at all. there are a lot of things about “gender affirming care” that i find concerning, but i think the most questionable thing of all literally comes down to it’s name.

Are they? Are they really "always busy" doing that?

Are any of these made-up married/feminine/mother-exclusive spaces in the room with us right now? You just made a bunch of shit up to get mad about. You know the internet is not actually "spaces". A discord is not a woman's space.

When we speak of "women's spaces" we are talking about real, physical spaces. Not some subcommunity of a few lesbian feminists online who just want to talk with other lesbians, not OSA women. Not some subcommunity of childfree women who don't want to talk about Mary Jo's three beautiful innocent sons everytime they bring up how motherhood can possibly contribute to enabling patriarchy. Not some radfem discussion post about how disabling the beauty industry for women and how obsessive hyperfemininity is a male-developed psyop to make women distracted, weaker, and lose resources they could otherwise be using for their own liberation.

Are you implying that lesbians should not have their own spaces... because feminism? Lesbian spaces should actually be inclusive to all women or else we are being divisive and ruining feminism's chances for success? You sound like a leftist man.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up race too, considering your clear hatred of lesbians having their own places to connect. How do you feel about Black women having their own feminist spaces? Korean women? Women from the global south in general? Should they open themselves up to white women or else they're destroying feminism?

You seem to be forgetting that males do absolutely hold judgements and prejudices against each other on small scales, just like these subspaces you hate women having so much. Race, sexuality, masculinity, fatherhood, all of these groups can perform exactly the same way. Just when they are in power it is "all men first".

Radical feminists are like that, just with women. You are just feeling butthurt because I am guessing some childfree or lesbian radical feminist said something mean about your Nigel or your adherence to beauty standards. I won't deny that women do a have a problem with maintaining class consciousness in the way men have succeeded, but it's the opposite reasons of what you claim. The division relies on feminine, male-centered women of all kinds refusing to critically examine anything about their way of life that is at all uncomfortable in any way. Choice feminism is the final product of this.

Instead, like you prove here so clearly, you would rather play victim to the mean radfems who are out to divide us! Instead of sitting with discomfort and joining us in awareness, you would rather point fingers at other women for not being the right sort of placid, inclusive feminists of your Hollywood-inspired fantasies.

Who is being divisive and judgemental now?

Anyway OP can't handle criticism and deletes any argument with her from the comments and reblogs!!

Het women esp mothers are so annoying. You say anything about their manloving manbirthing choices and they write defensive MRA-lite sexist rants about how evil radfems are lmaoooooo and then cry about not being part of radfem circles bc it hurts their feefees loll well u fucking and birthing our oppressors hurts mine!!

she was beaten to death by a “white male” who is still at large — clearly a politically motivated attack

yet, every left-wing person on social media is like: “murder is terrible, but let’s not forget she was a cunt with terrible views”

completely overlooking the fact that a male killed a woman with his bare hands — literally beat her to death, which is an incredibly personal and passionate way to kill someone — and that’s about the most conservative and evil thing any human can do

it’s clear why he killed a right-wing woman, and not a right-wing male

when i was visiting subreddits about endometriosis or pcos, there was a lot of pressure on the inclusivity of language

why isn't it a thing in literally any other places? why aren't labour unions writing about workers in this way? working and unemployed folks, functional and momentarily stagnant bodies?

why are we specifically pressured to change, include everyone who feels like it and walk on nomenclature shells so we don't hurt anyone's feelings in the process of describing our own - often crippling and debilitating - pain?

we don't even know why exactly endometriosis happens. we don't know shit about it, compared to literally anything connected to male anatomy. their pain is an emergency, ours is a status quo

Want to be homophobic? Throw "cis" in front of your post about how gay people are gross, genital obsessed, annoying, and absolutely intolerable humans! Swap "cis gay" for just "homosexuals" and you see what they really mean.

"Homosexuals are a stain on our community"

"I will take any opportunity to be homophobic towards homosexuals"

"Homosexuals shut the fuck up challenge"

"Man I wanna watch arcane but there's homosexuals in it"
