No? Then it's a problem. And should be both stopped and criticized.

Some examples

The expectation to get married or be in a relationship directly links to the ideas of fender roles in the sense of marriage being a right of passage for women and the religious connections

The emphasis on sex, pretty simple almost all sex in media or presented is straight sex and often times it focused on male pleasure with the explicit focus on penis in vagina and creating babies, this is not the only kind of sex and this emphasis on "how can you not have sex??" Feels more like a link to the expectation of women to have babies/start a family

Now lgbtq groups especially modern "queer" culture simply do not deconstruct gender romes and actively reinforce them this leads to them continuing to be rampant misogynists j dont need to explain this it is incredibly blatant.

Another note before some smartass comments "what about men" this can still be applied to men, gender roles still do constrict men in terms of how they can express themselves, the example that comes to mind is any man evenly vaguely femine being called an "egg"

This is not to pull the "patriarchy hurts men to uwu" libfem bs but just being blunt.

The broader queer community who claims that sex positivity, kink positivity, and extreme tolerance to all kinds of sexual expression, even harmful ones, was the first to bring the ace discourse and say that asexuality doesn't exist/belong in the community. As if they can support only the queers that participate in the modern ideals of sexuality.

It wasn’t lesbians. It wasn’t gay men. It was bisexuals. Let me explain.

Bisexuals have nothing to lose when it comes to TRAism. Sure, sometimes trans identified people will say to them they should be attracted to trans identified people or else they’re bigots but homosexuals are, and will always be the main targets of trans individuals to hate on. Why is this? Because they think a lesbian or gay man being attracted to them will be the highest level of validation even though no lesbian will be attracted to a male and no gay man will be attracted to a female, it’s a sick fantasy they have.

Bisexuals don’t see the issue with trans identified people hating on us for our sexuality because they simply can’t relate. For them, genitals and sex doesn’t matter so surely it shouldn’t for homosexuals either. They can’t fathom that for homosexuals, biological sex matters, because they don’t understand from their perspective.

It also gives them an opportunity to punch down at homosexuals. Again, they’re viewed as the one moral sexuality, so now they get to take on an Educator role and lecture homosexuals about how horrible and transphobic we are, and how we should open our minds, hearts, and beds to the opposite sex. And they are so smug about this.

these are the people running reddit. these are the people banning feminism subs, lesbian subs, PMS/PMDD subs, endometriosis subs, PCOS subs, and more for "transphobia".

this is why female-only subreddits are only allowed when it involves women as the subject for men to consume and jerk off to: (usually violent) porn, or corrective rape against lesbians, or violent fantasies against women.

We've been letting them ban our subs for a decade, but this time it's different. Reddit is public now. They have a stock price. That means we can do real damage if we cause enough of a fuss.

We should organize around this. We need a feature in a big paper or mainstream news company, highlighting how women are systematically targeted and silenced on Reddit.

We all know it's one of the most misogynistic places on the internet, with the context of all the female hate subs they allow to stay up while our feminist spaces are taken down, it's honestly a salacious story.

I'm collecting evidence of systemic discrimination and misogyny from reddit's admin team to distribute to news agencies to hopefully get some coverage on this.

Please reblog or message me with past banned women's subreddits AND/OR currently unbanned male/men's rights/anti-women pxrn subreddits to illustrate our point.

Yes, even intersex people with ambiguous genitalia. Having ambiguous genitalia does not make someone less male or less female or somehow a mix of the two. That would be like saying any man with a smaller-than-average penis is less of a man, or a woman with a larger-than-average clitoris is less of a woman.

you’d never find a woman with xxy chromosomes and doctors can tell the difference between a big clit and a micropenis bc they’re different in structure and function

stick with me here! I have a point

with definitions that make sense, we would be able to replace the word with the definition in a sentence, because that's the purpose of words, they represent a more complex meaning in a quicker and simpler way.

example: I saw a (zebra) on my (safari).

after replacing the 2 terms with their definitions: I saw an (African wild horse with black-and-white stripes and an erect mane) on my (expedition to observe or hunt animals in their natural habitat in East Africa).

the sentence, though much wordier, still makes sense and conveys the same message as the first sentence.

let's break it down. so according to gender ideologues, a man is "someone who identifies as a man".

so if we insert that definition into the sentence in place of the word, we get:

"someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a..) which could go on and on forever, as is the case with circular definitions.

the prefix non basically means not. so if we plug that into their definition we get:

"Lesbian: A not- ("someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a..) ) attracted to not- ("someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a..) )

let's look at a sentence someone might say in everyday life.

example: My friend Sara just came out as a (lesbian)!

replacing the term with the real definition: My friend Sara just came out as a (female) (homosexual)!

let's take it further and replace those terms too: My friend Sara just came out as a (of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by male gametes) (sexually or romantically attracted to people of one's own sex).

again, much wordier, but still conveys the same message as the original sentence.

replacing the term with this new stupid definition: My friend Sara just came out as a not- ("someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a..) ) attracted to not- ("someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a (someone who identifies as a..) )!

does not convey any meaning at all, let alone the same or similar meaning to the original sentence, is highly confusing, and meaningless.

But saying that "just asking questions" is ALWAYS a tactic is also stifling genuine conversation and stopping people from pointing out dangerous, illogical, or criminal activities.

Relationships between men are hollow and empty. There's approximately 5 acceptable masculine hobbies to have. Men will barely look at each other while using a video game console to spend eight hours straight pretending to kill people.

Any attempts at emotional vulnerability and intimacy will have you written off as an effeminate homosexual and if you are actually an effeminate homosexual the consequences of this can range from ostracization to being beaten and raped by your own peer group, the men you should be able to turn to for companionship.

They see women not beating and raping each other, least of all as punishment for liking glitter or kissing boys, and feel this deep miserable envy. They want the relationships women have with each other and believe transition will open the door to these relationships for them, but it can never work because they aren't women.

Firstly, because no matter how deep into the gendie koolaid women are, at the end of the day they don't really see trans identified males as the same thing as non trans identified females. "trans women" and "cis women" are categorically different from one another and despite best attempts from TRAs, this difference can't be erased. Even when language is policed, everyone knows, they just aren't allowed to say it.

Secondly, because even if a trans identified male is treated the same as a non trans identified female, even if he is stealth and passes as a female, he still knows he isn't one. He still knows on some level he is categorically different from female people. No matter how many positive relationships he builds with women, his peer group is men and the pain of being rejected by his peers cannot be healed by women. Women are not the magical healers of men.

Some trans identified males try to deal with this by becoming involved in "trans feminism", and spending their time exclusively with other trans identified males, but they end up back at square one. "Trans feminism" denies the existence of male socialization and the men involved with it have not unlearned theirs and will become angry and aggressive if confronted about it. So now these men once again find themselves in these groups deeply entrenched in toxic masculinity, covered only with a cheap coating of lipstick this time.

His tormenters are now no longer highschool football jocks and frat boys, now his tormenter is a man who calls himself a puppygirl while sexually abusing him and cries if he's asked to do the dishes. The other men in his social group will side with his rapist over him because that is how men teach each other to behave and will not as a class give this behavior up, even when the victims are other men.

The funny thing is I genuinely love gnc men. They’d be my first choice for male friends, and as a black woman, I’ve bonded with many black gnc gay men. I have a close male relative like this, and he’s one of the most genuine people I know. I feel like being an older gay man helps because he’s not caught up in gender identity stuff.

The main thing that’s stopping me from feeling positively about “trans women” is literally that they call themselves women. Like that’s really the root of it.

I genuinely couldn’t care less about them dressing femininely or even if they altered themselves so much that they actually pass for women. It’s them claiming to be literal women and then emotionally manipulating people to pretend we’re the same that changes things.
