I'm not really sure why some transwomen/TIM are under the impression that radfems stating that TIM cannot physically be female or women somehow means they have to go back to adhering to what society expects of "a man."
It's quite the opposite actually. I WANT you to wear dresses and skirts and pink and heels and wear makeup and do whatever it is you like to do that makes you feel like you're somehow female, but I also want you to understand that those things DON'T make you female or have any proximity to womanhood. You're allowed to express yourself through fashion and personality without lying and claiming you're female
As a college student I cannot STAND the hate female professors get. You’ll meet a professor that everyone has been saying is too strict, stuck-up, and bad at her job and it’s like oh… she’s just an intelligent woman who doesn’t let you do fuck all in her classes because she values the education you are paying thousands of dollars to receive.
Meanwhile male professors always receive so much praise for doing the bare minimum at their jobs. A man has to be just slightly charismatic and everyone forgets that he kind of sucks at what he does
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but I just want to say, as someone who used to wear acrylic nails for at least a decade, they are such a fucking sham.
Growing up I was always fed the idea that nails meant you didn’t have to do anything? Which was supposed to be considered a good thing? Like “teehee I don’t have to do anything I’m so spoiled” but they try hiding from you how fucking fun it is to actually do things.
Ever shoot a gun? Fucking phenomenal. Hit your target? Feels fantastic. That aside, being able to take a gun apart, study how it works, and put it back together? Absolutely amazing.
Ever use a fucking power saw? Power tools in general are invigorating. Built a whole work bench in the detached garage. Talk about something being actually empowering.
I had to stop playing piano because of my nails. Who chooses fake nails over literally getting to create art?! Crazy. I can’t believe once upon that time I actively made that choice.
Gardening? Couldn’t imagine trying to do that with nails. Getting dirt stuck in there for days? Would feel horrible. Feeling self conscious when you go to get them fixed because of how dirty they are. I forgot how much I loved playing in the dirt as a child. I love the smell of soil. It makes you feel more connected to the Earth. I talk to my plants, I read to my plants. I love my plants.
Book Nooks! They’re models you get to put together. Super small parts. Glue needed. So far put together a model greenhouse and a model library. Would literally be impossible with fake nails. You feel so accomplished when you’re done. Takes about 6-8 hours to do most of the time. There’s electrical you get to put together. Sometimes you’re twisting wires together trying to get the lights on lol. Love those things.
Getting to work with your hands feels great. It’s freeing. Fake nails completely strips you of that. When I had nails on I had problems simply trying to button a blouse…. that’s depressing to think about.
I know basically all radfems know of this. So this is more for the cryptos. The lurkers. The ones in the shadows who are curious. Who want to learn.
Im telling you. You don’t know what you’re missing.
How do men on estrogen not see the irony when they get mad at women who cosplay as them. I wish we could sue men like you for believing that sexist stereotypes is what makes you a woman.
Perhaps in kindergarten my brother picked up from those little idiots the habit of calling boys "woman" in a derogatory manner. In my language it sounds different He has a speech delay and is a bit dumber than his peers, so I try in vain to wean him off it. When he calls me "woman" in a fit of anger, I laugh and rejoice. "Yes, I am a woman, I am great, I am cool. And you are a boy, a boy, ugh."
do these underage degenerates know that "woman" is more of a compliment than an insult. They won't be able to even come close to that ideal
I was scared of the day when I realized that my little brother was just like every other male, and that day came yesterday when he showed me "memes" he made with his friends about his female classmate being fat and ugly. They're 12. I feel so bad for the little girl. She had such a cute and genuine smile on the photo they used to make fun of her. She's just a little baby, and males in her class are already being so fucking terrible.
I told him that what he was doing was mean and that he should delete it, but he just brushed me off, and we haven't talked about it ever since. I swear, if I catch him doing something like this again, then I won't hold back on him.
I can't forgive the TRAs for turning the near universal trauma of girlhood into some convoluted proof that gender dysphoria is innate, and being some flavor of trans is the only explanation for those feelings. What better way to stop womens progression and liberation than to take away the words and experiences shared by those who have experienced lifelong misogyny. The silence is deafening
Of course you feel disconnected from your gender it’s quite literally a made up set of rules based on stereotypes
why would you try to fit into the beauty standards created by men who want to fuck teenagers
Women’s rights aren’t enough. I want women’s revenge. I want every man to feel the weight of every injustice they’ve ever put on us. I want them to wake up every day knowing the world is no longer built for them. That’s the only ‘equality’ I care about.
Men are constantly trying to divide us and make us quarrel. They try to talk nonsense about white privileged women. Or they try to make us think that women criminals are much more dangerous than men criminals. I read similar nonsense on Instagram the other day. Thanks for your "concern", but in a world without men we would all feel safer than in a world without dangerous women
"The Devil's greatest trick was making you believe that he doesn't exist."
Kind of like how men's greatest trick was making women believe that the patriarchy is an illusion and that their oppression is just a fantasy in the minds of a few crazy, shrieking harpies who call themselves "feminists."
