libfems say that “swerfs” hate sex workers, yet they care more about what a white middle class camgirl living in kansas says than the estimated 40 million trafficked women and girls who are raped every day. that sounds like hating sex workers to me.

FUCKING SHIT I just went into the girls’ bathroom on my floor in my dorm and a VERY GENDER-CONFORMING MALE was pissing in one of the toilets WITH THE DOOR WIDE FUCKING OPEN. And so I looked away and I was like “Hey, you know this is the girls’ bathroom, right?” and he just responds with “Well, the RA said to use the bathroom you’re most comfortable with, so…” and the thing is, that is literally what she said in her email, and I’m just really pissed off because that isn’t what she meant (in fact, she said to “use the bathroom that is most comfortable for you, not what is most convenient”) but it really is so broad that any dude could claim that he’s “most comfortable” in the women’s bathroom and not face any repercussions and it’s just infuriating because it literally is what she said and I deadass didn’t know how to respond 

And it’s just so infuriating because males have free reign to basically go wherever they want and do whatever they want. Do you know how badly I wish I could walk around campus in the middle of the night with earbuds in and not be afraid? Do you know how badly I wish I could go to parties and not be constantly vigilant of my drink to make sure I don’t get drugged and raped? 

Does my comfort not matter? If the rule is “use whatever bathroom you’re most comfortable with” and every bathroom has men in it, can any of us feel comfortable in any bathrooms?

It’s just… we fought so hard for Title IX. Feminists spent YEARS fighting for women to be protected on campus and now trans activists are taking them away in the name of progress and I just… I’m sick of this. I’m sick of being told I’m a bigot for wanting to feel safe. I’m sick of the daily hateful messages people send me, telling me to kill myself, threatening to rape and kill me because I have the audacity to want basic legal protections. And I’m so fucking sick of this being done in the name of progress and liberal “feminists” eating that shit up.

No one is proud of dykes. No one is proud of dykes (not families not neighbours not friends not workmates not bosses not teachers not mentors not universities not literature societies not any nation not any ruler not any benefactor not any priest not any healer not any advocate). Only other dykes are proud of dykes. People say live and let live but why should we?

Why do Terfs sound like Consveratives when it comes to Trans people?

how does: “you should be able to exist as a gender non conforming persn without pressure to alter your body at great risk” sound conservative 

what DOES sound regressive and conservative: “women are feminine, men are masculine. lesbians are too exclusionary in their attraction. let’s punch women who disagree with us :)”

Pure projection

I feel like this is a very important thread considering a lot of people cut Hollywood abusers a lot of slack just because “they’re work is very good and entertaining”. There are plenty of other Hollywood actresses/actors that don’t pull off gross shit like this, support them instead…. At the end of the day, we need to put the victims first and stop letting this shit slide.

I’ve added more sources to provide more evidence since these are very serious crimes and some people might not feel comfortable with just depending on a twitter thread:  

Woody Allen

Roman Pollanski

Victor Salva 

Bill Cosby 

Casey Affleck 

Mike Tyson  

Johnny Depp 

Charlie Sheen

Mel Gibson

All the stencils from Slutwalk are still up! And a fair few stickers too! This was their only comeback 🙄

Yeah you can choose to call yourself a slut, but what is that achieving other than telling men it’s okay to call us that? Men are still using it as a misogynistic slur against us regularly and now they’ll tell us “some women like it” A lot of us don’t.

“i hate terfs” = “i hate women who think they are allowed to fight for themselves, I hate women who don’t bow down to men, I hate women who think they deserve to have their own name and language to speak about their oppression, I hate women who are unapologetic about wanting their own rights, I hate women who fight for victims of abuse, I hate women who insist on having sexual boundaries, I hate all the women who have the nerve to practice non US-centric feminism, I hate women who think they can fight for themselves before they fight for groups of people who would never ever fight for them.”

dysphoria as a diagnosis is characterised by significant distress at not being the opposite sex and like idk why we’re trying to surgically treat the ‘not being the opposite sex’ part instead of trying to psychologically treat the ‘significant distress’ part

one or two ppl have replied/reblogged this saying, essentially ‘that’s conversion therapy’ but the thing is that conversion therapy tries to change you, as a person, not to make you happy with who you are. conversion therapy for ‘trans’ kids is ‘stop being gender non-conforming’, not ‘learn to love your gender non-conformity’. conversion therapy doesn’t treat distress, and doesn’t try to. the focus of conversion therapy of all kinds is to change outward behaviours to appear more ‘normal’ and ‘acceptable’ to an outside world, which is in no way what I’m suggesting. I’m suggesting we give trans ppl some fuckin options to learn to love their bodies & who they are, and to try to manage their dysphoria through non-surgical means. Right now transition is offered as an option right off the bat, often w/ v little psychological assessment or therapy beforehand, and that ain’t right. It’s not about making trans ppl ‘acceptable’ to other people - it’s about learning to accept ourselves.

soon y'all will start calling treatment for personality disorders conversion therapy lmao i s2g

There are actually shittons of libfems ( 🤔 🤔 🤔 always young girls with bpd for some reason 🤔 🤔 🤔 ) who post about how it’s horrible to ask people with bpd not to be manipulative because it’s just “how they are” and they “can’t change it”. 

To me this is a striking example of why mental health practitioners need to stop pathologizing undesirable personality traits as some immutable biological given. 

These people get “stuck” on the idea that they have a “mental illness” and use it as an excuse not to take ownership of their maladjusted behaviour. We disempower clients when we participate in these attitudes. 

Teaching these young girls the skills of empathy, emotional literacy, effective communication of wants and needs via assertiveness, etc would likely have a more helpful impact on their behaviours than putting them on Lamictal and leaving them to shitpost on tumblr dot com.  

tbh i blame radical acceptance culture more than anything

I’ve been forced to realize that I have so little understanding towards women who are having a hard time dealing with the fact that men are innately violent and predatory because for me it was old news, I’ve been raped by men since I was 7 year old, I’ve been held in slavery by a man, I’ve been further assaulted, betrayed and humiliated and harassed by men all my life, and I’ve seen the same tendencies in all men, all men approved of this, and would easily agree with the ones who tortured me, and would have done it themselves if they had a chance. I found no resources or help for all the trauma I’ve been thru, therapy, doctors, police, and entire system was made to invalidate and further brainwash me into staying silent, into not speaking about this, and into doubting my own experiences and memories.

 I’ve heard countless stories of other women going thru the same thing. I’ve learned about unimaginable horrors men have been putting women thru the entire globe, I know what they do to rape victims, I know what they do to little girls, I know what they do to women in prostitution, in porn, I know they traffick and rape women, I know how they keep them in slavery, I know they force them thru pregnancy and birth, I know they torture and brainwash and mutilate and burn and destroy women in such huge numbers we are by now suffering from societal ptsd, and societal Stockholm syndrome. I know that deep fear and desire to do anything to stop men from hurting us worse is by now engraved in our brains, in our bodies, our bones.

That’s why finding the truth about men was just validating and made more sense of my experiences. I’ve never been closely bonded to a man, I’ve never been filled with adoration or love for them, I’ve never been influenced by them to the point where I would block my own senses and ignore the truth and force myself to take blame for their actions in order to keep them in life, all of my instincts were screaming all my life to get away from them. 

That’s why I really don’t get how crushing and shattering it must be for other women to have their world broken apart by realization of how sociopathic and cruel men really are. Even more by the realization that this wont and can’t change, that it might be innate, that all hope is lost. Being raised to always see the best in men, to forgive them everything, to adore them beyond anything, to worship and praise and admire them, that is so much energy, so much time and love and effort and devoted to men, I can only imagine how crushed I would be if I was forced to realize all of it was wasted and exploited, that men never cared at all, that they never meant to keep me alive at all, they never saw me as human at all. That I was only used all this time and all the love of my heart meant nothing to them.

I think this is a very harsh realization, and as much as I care for politics, I don’t think I have the right to enforce it on anyone, it’s traumatic and a woman can only come to it by her own pace, in her own time. So I just want to say, when men hurt you to the point of breaking, and when there’s no more hope for survival within the system of patriarchy, I’ll be here, I’ll believe you, I’ll listen to you, and I’ll make sure that you have resources to heal. I’ll try to make a place where you can go when all delusion is broken, when there’s no place for doubt, when your survival instincts tell you that believing in men any more will get you tortured and destroyed, and you feel like there’s no alternative, nobody on your side, nobody you could turn to. I’ll be there.
