i'm just gonna say that if you define terf as "anyone who disagrees with me" and then you post about how child abuse is a part of queer identity then yeah you're gonna find a lot of "terfs"

It’s really funny to me how sex, out of all the social categories, is the least ambiguous yet is treated like it is the most by TRAs. Have you ever seen a TRA explain why transracial is wrong but transgender is ok? They always yap about how gender is a social construct… as if race isn’t? They’re like well racial differences are real and it can be determined with genetics. Like. So close! That is eugenics ❤️

'women aren't responsible for male loneliness' sure but i think the fact that you in particular can't say a positive thing about a man and only publicly talk about how much they annoy you has a lot to do with the self-confidence issues that root at this loneliness

See I could say a nice thing about a man. But I don't want to. If men are lonely they should go make friends but we all know they woln't when you say oh no men are lonely what you really mean is that women on mass are begining to understand that they do not in fact have to take on the extra load of a mans lack of emotional control. In order to live a happy life. I mean men could learn to controll themselves and make friends I have total faith in them to do this (see! One nice thing) but they choose not to they choose to try to make this everyone else's problem and that's why I don't like them any.

Everything bad happens to men is women's fault, what a news

which people are those again? and which people make that a dangerous combination? just to clarify

it is soooo crazy how male friendships are always better because in female friendships girls just fight all the time but also there is a male loneliness epidemic because men dont talk about their feelings with their friends and they need to rely on women

Thinking about Maria MacLachlan's (PeakTrans) latest video and how she excellently described the process of a feminist left-wing women (like JK Rowling) becoming critical of the trans movement.

At first, you are basically in what she called a 'blissful ignorance'. Your opinion of the trans movement is "live and let others live". Then you start to notice little things that are just plain wrong, like men stealing trophies from women and lesbians being told they are not allowed to tell on a dating app that they are into females only.

So you decide to voice your opinion. You say something like, "I have nothing against trans people who just want to live their lives, but i find this [particular thing] harmful and unfair". You are assuming and fully expecting in your blissful ignorance, nothing more from it. Maybe a bit of debate, but mostly understanding since all these points you made are good points after all, and this is the self-proclaimed feminist LGB+ "be kind" brigade so the rights of women and gay people should matter, right?

Instead, you receive abuse. Not just any abuse, but misogynistic abuse, threats, doxxing, lies, twisting your words, and attempts to make you lose your lifelihood.

First, you are shocked, but then you start to feel angry. Angry and betrayed. You start to wonder how many others like you have been shut out and silenced by trans activists. You may start by looking up "that one woman" who you think was not entirely treated fairly, but you had earlier decided to accept the trans activists' version that she is just "a bigot".

You find out that despite trans activists vehemently claiming some things never happen, they do happen. They just willfully ignore them. You find out people criticising trans movement are feminists, LGB people, concerned parents, medical experts, and even trans people themselves. Trans activists just lie when they claim they are far-righters and conservatives. You find out they do not want trans people dead. It is the trans activists who send them death threats and show up to their events to "punch terfs".

And you become angrier, so you decide you will not be silenced. You decide to talk more and raise more awareness. The more you criticise and the more you share, the more abuse trans activists send to you. And the angrier you become.

Then the useful idiots see your anger and are convinced you are just a hater that should not be listened to. Why else would you be so angry?

i will never put a penis in my mouth for the rest of my life and if that somehow makes you mad or upsets you then kill yourself

Wait does this include trans girls?

It’s funny/sad at this point idk whether that last comment was ironic or not

Uh, no it’s not. Some girls can’t/haven’t gotten bottom surgery, and I want to know if I accidentally followed a terf.

The existence of trans girls means no woman anywhere can choose not to put a penis in her mouth?

This is literally the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen, the person was simply innocently asking if the post included transgender women because a lot do indeed have penises. Y'all could’ve easily just said, “Yes, that does include trans women.” But no, ya didn’t.

Bees, I love you, but not wanting to suck dick isn’t transphobic.

I know you mean well, but it’s not transphobic, in anyway.

It would be, if they said, “I would never suck the dick of a trans girl.” But they didn’t, they said they’d never suck dick, no gender included, nor mentioned, so it’s not transphobic.

lmaoooo “i would never suck the dick of a trans girl” is still not transphobic. if you think people’s sexual boundaries oppress you, then hint, you’re not oppressed. you’re just an incel.

So just saying it makes it transphobic? If the person secretly feels that way but doesn’t say it, what then? Is it not just “secret transphobia” then?

It’s not transphobic, in any way, so it doesn’t matter how you say or express it. No is no.

Jesus Christ they're so fucking rape-y.

I need people to stop glorifying the 4B movement in Korea, from a Western (white) perspective. Stop it. If you are blissfully unaware of this (having not been on TikTok) - in theory, it makes sense. No sex with men, no dating men, no child rearing with men, and no marriage with men. But. BUT. Feminists in Korea are problematic AF. I know this from both personal experience (having been on the receiving end of their ire online) and everything I've read about them, in Korean. I see all these white TikTokers (and even some in the Korean diaspora) fawning over how "we" in the US need this and, no. If your feminism is transphobic, hates gay men, hates men in general, that's not the feminism I'd endorse. Why is Korean feminism transphobic? In 2020, Korean feminists ACTIVELY CAMPAIGNED AGAINST a woman who was accepted to Sookmyung University. An all womens' university. But she was a woman, you say. What could be their problem? According to Korean feminists, they didn't want a "man" in their space. Because she is a trans woman. This is not unusual for Korean feminists. Having lived there for 5 years, to some extent, I understand their anger against misogyny. But if you are truly against the toxic patriarchy that exists in Korea, you must also help dismantle military conscription because that is where a lot of men become radicalized, bullied, etc etc and "grow up" to be the most toxic form of men seen on this earth. But Korean feminists don't give AF about that and in fact, I've read a lot of them express that it's good for men to suffer. Guess what? That view is internalized misogyny and toxic patriarchy, too. And I don't want to hear it about the movement being so "young". Korean women have stepped up to the plate before in our history. We are capable of better than this fucking nonsense. It's a bunch of transphobic, gay hating radicals that have hijacked what was supposed to be about social justice. WOMAD (link is to the Wikipedia article, not their site) and Megalia are the two sites they stem from. It is the most toxic group of people I've ever had the displeasure to encounter online. Any form of criticism is, at best, ignored and worst - I've been "called out" for being Korean-American, and therefore, to "butt out" of "Korean issues". Amongst other bullying I've personally received. And yes, not just on forums but on public articles that I've commented on.

I know it's a catchy title and it appeals in theory but please, please do not glorify these transphobes and TERFs. They don't deserve your attention.

Lmfaoooo. Imagine complaining about a movement, inspired & rooted by radical feminism, and one of the complains is “4B hates men”

Well… duh? Do you think the 4B movement (no dating, no marriage, no sex, no child-bearing WITH MALES*) is because they love men? No.

The fact you’re more upset about ‘transphobia’ and homophobia (from a website that doesn’t represent all 4B woman at all???) than you are with the reasons as to WHY the 4B movement is happening in the first place (Sexual Harassment, Sexual Assault / Rape, Domestic Abuse, Femicide, Harsh Female Stereotypes & Expectations, LITERALLY SK ELECTING A MISOGYNIST) is…really telling.

Here is an article about 4B & Homosexuality (specifically about Lesbian) …

This just in, FEMinism being only about FEMales is problematic because because because...

The men will feel left out! Waahhh!!!

Hey OP, do you know why Korean feminists don't want to open their spaces to trans identified males? Because mixed sex spaces in Korea (and a lot of Asia) are physically dangerous for women. There are hidden cameras in bathrooms to watch them use the toilet, women are groped and assaulted on trains by males, and women in Korea are fucking sick of it.

Frankly, a lot of us here in North America and Europe are sick of it too, that's why we support our sisters in Korea in their fight for liberation. We're wishing more women here had the guts to do the same.

No need to make me love them more, OP

Feminism doesn't revolve around men. Die mad about it.

I genuinely really fucking hate how some bisexual women do not view relationships with women as valid in the same way m/f relationships are.

A bisexual woman at my work recently got married and she told me that she's told her husband "if you fuck up, my best friend (a woman) is on stand by, just so you know" and I KNOW she would never fucking say something like that about a man. She would never tell her husband that he better behave because she has another man on the back burner if he doesn't.

When I was in high school, one of my friends went back and forth between questioning and identifying as bisexual. Eventually she outright asked me if I wanted to have sex with her so she could explore that part of herself. That's an awkward spot to be put in no matter what, but it was made worse by the fact she was in a serious relationship with a man (as in, she is still with him to this very day). When I asked her why she'd make such a pass at me while having a boyfriend, she said that "he's okay" with her exploring that part of herself. And it's just like. Lmao. Okay. Tell him you want to explore with another man and tell me what happens. What is there to even explore? You are with HIM. Clearly you've made your choice. Your exploration is over, boo.

I know there are so many other examples out there. Some bisexual women outright say they will never marry a woman and would only ever fool around with one. It's sickening. f/f relationships are not lesser than m/f ones. Treat your female partners better (ESPECIALLY if they're lesbians) or don't disturb them at all.

17 year-old Juliane Koepcke was sucked out of an airplane in 1971 after it was struck by a bolt of lightning. She fell 2 miles to the ground, strapped to her seat and survived after she endured 10 days in the Amazon Jungle.

After ten days, she found a boat moored near a shelter, and found the boat's fuel tank still partly full. Koepcke poured the gasoline on her wounds, an action which succeeded in removing the maggots from her arm. Out of 93 passengers and crew, Juliane was the only survivor of the LANSA flight 508 crash that took place December 24th, 1971.

🔗Her story in her own words: https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-17476615

Juliane Koepcke is a Bad Ass!

Her book gives a small insight into how female survivors are treated: not as heroes, but as hypersexual psychopaths who, in her case, are relentlessly guilt-tripped and blamed for the catastrophic death of their loved ones ... all while the media is busy drawing sexualised cartoons and getting off on an underage girl's body.

^^^ Building off the above reply with some examples....

This was the first thing that stuck out to me, in her book:

If Juliane was a 17-year-old boy, her judgment calls & survival skills probably wouldn’t be passed off as a mere mistake/fluke. If she was a guy, people would lap that shit up and call her a Fine Boy Scout™.

Next is this passage:

“Now Father has lost his wife...” this thought never crossed Juliane’s mind, because she had no way of knowing if her mother was alive or dead. Juliane couldn’t find her mom after the crash. But notice how the media somehow managed to center the plight of a man in a story about *checks notes* a girl who braved the wilderness alone for 10 days after losing her mother in a plane crash.

Some media outlets floated the idea that, in addition to witnessing her mother’s death, Juliane had seen other struggling survivors as well & neglected to help them. This is false. It just goes to show that girls are villainized for taking care of themselves instead of taking care of everyone else—even when they’re all alone in the middle of the jungle, fighting for their own survival.

Juliane also came under scrutiny for her emotional state, after her rescue. Because she was traumatized and in shock, she didn’t react “appropriately” to her situation or grieve for her mother the way people expected her to.

As seen above, some voices in the media pathologized her understandable trauma response, treating her like a deranged sociopath.

^^^ This shit speaks for itself. Reminder that Juliane was just a child, a teenager.

Lastly, there actually is a 1974 movie about Juliane directed by Giuseppe Maria Scotese, starring Susan Penhaligon. The movie is called Miracles Still Happen. This is how the movie marketed her story:

And here’s how the media covered it:

So yeah. In conclusion, men are trash. And to wrap things up, I’ll leave you with this extremely tasteful comic strip by a (male) artist.

thank you so much for this valuable addition!! this is exactly what i was talking about! 

@xxcaptainfantasticxx

1. 50 years is not that long ago

2. The dynamics of sexism/misogyny, sexual exploitation and anti indigenous racism (seen in using indigenous people as the scary simple abductors in that loser man’s trashy novel ripping off her experiences) are still with us today and still need to be dismantled

3. I don’t see you doing anything better with your time “respectful” “deep thinker”

This comic has a special guest appearances by my nonbinary friends :3  Sometimes I just go with the cleanest bathroom. or the one that has a wifi signal. or I just go whatever bathroom my friends use, to be safe.  ✩ Twitter ✩ Tapastic ✩ Facebook ✩ Patreon ✩

why does wearing certain clothing make you a man or a woman? what does any clothing have to do with gender? is it not regressive to associate clothing with a certain gender?

“what gender do i look like right now” is one of the most toxic sentences i have ever read. you cannot look like a gender without reinforcing patriarchal gender norms.

It’s always interesting to see how TIPs distort their bodies in art, it shows (A) that they know what sexual dimorphism is, and (B) how totally fucked their body image is. This is such a perfect example. The “man” version is drawn with a thicker neck, more rectangular face, and broader shoulders, while the “woman” version is drawn with a slimmer neck, more rounded face, and narrower shoulders.

First world problem #527

Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.

I have been waiting for this post all my life.

They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.

Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”

A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.

So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?

My friend you’re not wrong About Homer’s wine-ey sea! Colours are a matter Of cultural contingency;

Words are in flux And meanings they drift But the word purple You’ve given short shrift.

The concept of purple, My friends, is old And refers to a pigment once precious as gold.

By crushing up molluscs From the wine-dark sea You make a dye: Imperial decree

Meant that in Rome, to wear purpura was a privilege reserved

For only the emperor!

The word ‘purple’, for clothes so fancy, Entered English By the ninth century

.

Why then are voilets Not purple in song? The dye from this mollusc, known for so long

Is almost magenta; More red than blue. The concept of purple is old, and yet new.

The dye is red, So this might be true: Roses are purple And violets are blue

.

While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.

But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.

Hirple - To limp or walk awkwardly

Cirple - An old Scots word for the hindquarters of a horse

“Roses are red, violets are purple,

My boner for you has caused me to hirple.”

…

DYING. I AM DYING.

Roses are red, violets are violet,

This cacophony makes me violent

#but a tabloid slap fight is easier to dismiss than a wider cultural problem

Some of the headlines have been complete fanfiction, it's ridiculous. They really think she is fighting so hard for women's rights just to stay relevant.

there was a trans march in mexico city days ago where this man, after lifting his skirt and flashing his underwear, yelled "hope your daughter gets raped, b*tch!" at a female cop.

TRAs and their obsession with sending rape threats to anyone that dares to disagree with them... nothing new.

Fascinating how they:

1. Knew which officer was a woman by looking at them (did they just ASSUME the officer’s gender? What if they misgendered the officer? Isn’t misgendering a form of violence?)

2. Used a gendered insult (bitch/perra) against said officer 

3. Threatened to rape their daughter specifically

When it comes down to it, they know exactly who is a woman, what gender of slurs to use, and who they should threaten with rape. 

TRAs threaten rape like grannies offer cookies and wonder why women don't want them in our spaces
