I Will Never Support A Terrorist Organization. I Know That The Women Of Gaza Are Suffering. And I Sympathize

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.

something to think about

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.

Every time 🤦🏽‍♀️

Happy International Women's Day! I admire you all! I feel blessed to be part of this movement that brings together so many brave, determined and kind women❤️

I have never gotten a good answer to why trans people go on hormones and get cosmetic surgeries if “gender” isn’t about biological sex characteristics. Or to how they can say that biology is irrelevant when they’re constantly trying to biologically replicate the opposite sex.

korean laws are a joke because what do you mean that monster only got 6 years for torturing his wife

Nobody can impose physical criteria because they are with women from birth. The only thing that patriarchy imposed was the concept of "gender"

Long hair, dresses, skirts, makeup do not make a woman a woman

A dog can't be a cat unless it was born a cat. Even if a dog starts meowing, it will still remain a dog

If a trans woman hasn’t undergone surgery, how can she be considered a real woman?

The validity of a woman’s identity is not tied to her physical appearance or medical procedures.

Societal pressures that tell women their worth is determined by how closely they adhere to gendered expectations. A trans woman is a woman whether or not she chooses to undergo surgery. Her identity is rooted in her self-determination, not in fulfilling a set of physical criteria imposed by patriarchal norms.

males who identify as women really believe that gender roles is what makes someone a woman, so i guess im not a woman if i don’t shave my legs
