cultish

Apparently, JK Rowling has pissed off a lot of gender critical people on twitter by admitting that she has a trans woman friend she refers to with she/her pronouns because that individual is her friend and she wants to make the said person happy. I think it is so tiring how easily people fall into black and white thinking and fail to learn anything from the cult behaviour of tras. More than two things can be true at the same time: It can be wrong to force people either through law or social pressure to lie and control their speech and it is dangerous and offensive for media and researchers to report and record people's sex falsely. But when it comes to someone's personal life, they can still be free to choose to refer to someone with preferred, although inaccurate, pronouns. Just like they should be free to choose not to do this.

Laetitia Ky is an Ivorian feminist artist who creates elaborate sculptures using her own hair, wire, and thread to convey powerful messages about feminism, body positivity, Black beauty, and African heritage. Her intricate hair art, which can take the form of animals, objects, or abstract shapes, is influenced by traditional African hairstyles and serves as a platform for her activism and advocacy for women's rights. 

Laetitia Ky is an extreme TERF who buddied up with Marguerite Stern, and with whom I had the displeasure to "talk" about gender theory (read: I tried to ask her about how she could reconcile afrofeminism and exclusion of our trans sisters, and she just insulted me).

You asked her to include men in her feminism, I’m not surprised she insulted you

this IS our unique oppression, which, in turn, must be named.

Another user said it's like watching a community try to reinvent the wheel from first principles. But they can't do it because every time they create something too close to a wheel they have to scrap it and start over because wheels are terfy.

Absolutely not. Fuck no. Reject, abort.

When Adrienne Rich said “our minds and bodies are inseparable in this life, and when we allow our bodies to be treated as objects, our minds are in mortal danger”

"Haha why are people obsessed with trans people they're like 1% of the population!" Great question! On a completely unrelated note, why does society have to completely change how they function and why does the entire LGB community have to lie about their entire history and attraction and include everything and why do women have to completely erase their spaces and language for such a small percentage of the population? If it's such a small percentage of the population that "isn't worth obsessing over" why do you insist everyone obsess over you?

it's always "we owe everything to the trans women who fought for our rights" and never "we owe everything to the lesbians who cared for, stood by, and literally donated their blood to gay men throughout the AIDS crisis." in fact, nowadays everybody loves to fix their mouths and talk shit about lesbians for no reason
