That thing you think is your “innate gender identity?” It’s your fucking personality
that love of “boys clothes” or “girls clothes”…that’s your fucking taste in fashion
That belief that if you’re really a girl because you’re delicate, meek, emotional and bad at math? That’s your fucking misogyny.
That belief that you’re not really a girl because you’re not feminine, helpless and shallow? That’s also your fucking misogyny.
I don't know if you're still active on this platform. I don't know if you even remember me as a follower.... I just wanted to thank you! I think about you often. As weird as that sounds. But your posts, years ago - I'm guessing 2014 and earlier - absolutely helped me realize that the liberal feminist nonsense being perpetuated on here was absolutely detrimental to women. Your reblogs and posts helped me before I was completely brainwashed by trans ideology.
So thank you again for completely helping me think for myself and recognize the harm and absolute ludicrousness of all-inclusive-feminism and pro-transgenderism.

Waking up to that message warmed my heart haha. I'm more of a lurker and reposter, so that anyone would remember me is surprising. But I'm glad my humble self could have a positive effect on people. Thank you!
it's always so fucking funny to me when terfs are like "how can you say trans women and women are the same thing! being born as a man makes you different!" because like. yes. trans women and cis women are different. so are black women and white women. and straight women and queer woman. and women from different countries and different socioeconomic statuses. there's diversity in the experience of womanhood? what a wild concept
incidentally, this why terfs tend to be white women. from the combahee river collective statement, 1977:
...we reject the stance of Lesbian separatism because it is not a viable political analysis or strategy for us. It leaves out far too much and far too many people, particularly Black men, women, and children. We have a great deal of criticism and loathing for what men have been socialized to be in this society: what they support, how they act, and how they oppress. But we do not have the misguided notion that it is their maleness, per se—i.e., their biological maleness—that makes them what they are. As BIack women we find any type of biological determinism a particularly dangerous and reactionary basis upon which to build a politic.
(emphasis mine)
"To argue that transsexual women should not enter [women-exclusive spaces] because their experiences are different would have to assume that all other women's experiences are the same, and this is a racist assumption. The argument that transsexual women have experienced some degree of male privilege should not bar them from our communities once we realize that not all women are equally privileged or oppressed."
This. This is the core of it. This is why trans-exclusionary radical feminism is rooted in racism, colonialism, and imperialism. It excludes the idea that there can be any other type of “woman” except one very (white, colonialist, imperialist) definition.
I'll never understand how these people compare being a trans woman to being a black woman and not realize how incredibly racist that is.
"terfs" believe women are female and that's it. Black, white, gay, straight, in every country around the world - we're all female. That's it.
Trans women are male. That's inherently different in a way none of these other things are. They lack the literal only thing that unites all women. What's not clicking?
Women can be of any race, height, sexual orientation, country or socioeconomic background, but women can't be men. Simple enough. TRAs are incapable of rational thought.
People say men and women are equally bad but women don’t go round shouting rape threats at men in dark parking lots now do we
Most women mistakenly think men are as kind as they are. Meanwhile men believe women to secretly be as evil as they are.

I like how men tell us that periods are somehow simultaneously “not that bad” and also bad enough that we shouldn’t be allowed to hold positions of power.
This is a very important and powerful text post.
While this is a legendary post, I feel it could be a little more specific. Men tell us that the physical pain is ‘not that bad,’ but that the emotional/mental side effects of periods are bad enough that we shouldn’t hold any power. To put it another way: men refuse to empathize with our pain, and then they discredit our mental capacity. That’s hatred in a nutshell.
man: jump
liberal feminist: okay, but I'm doing this because I WANT to
man: I'll pay you to jump
liberal feminist: this is empowering because I'm taking money away from men

Men can't criticise women in power without making some dig about her age, fashion sense, plastic surgery, speculation over breast implants, speculation over what she's like in bed, her panties, periods, pregnancy, sex life, or husband. Even left-wing, "progressive" men do this.
Behind every Nice Guy is the expectation of a reward for it. You can see it in their behavior; you can read it between the lines in their speeches. Every man knows full well that he has the option to not be “nice” to a woman. That’s why every Nice Guy always has the list ready of his Nice Guy Qualities, every time he did the right thing instead of the wrong thing, every “point” he’s “earned” that he will try to trade at a woman’s counter for the prize of her letting her guard down, her making some exception just for him.
All men see women as a game to be played for a pay out. Some men choosing a “non-aggressive” play style does not change their perception that they are playing the same game as their aggressive counterparts. In fact, they often expect a BIGGER reward, because they know aggression is an “easy mode,” and they have made a sacrifice to forgo it. Why do all these Nice Guys seem so aware of the times they could have, if they were never going to?

accepting and loving your womanhood is a great goal but I don’t understand how you can’t see femininity as opposed to this because Feminity is all about women not being okay as we naturally are (must shave/wax/be demure and passive/ be decorative not functional/wear restrictive clothing)
The stereotype of the nagging woman is so harmful. I remember already being aware of it in elementary school, when boys would role their eyes when we did group work and I tried to actually do the work. I remember that shame, and how it prevented me from speaking up and from being a leader. I still get that response and that shame at my job, where I am literally paid to lead and to remind people to stay on schedule.
get on their level
all these liberal feminists make me wanna throw up. there’s nothing empowering about prostitution. when i worked me and all the women working with me in this dirty hotel were beaten, raped, robbed and dehumanized regularly. we served 5-10 men a day, mostly without protection because our pimps told us to. „more money“ they said to us. we would get drunk and high on pills or cocaine because it maid it easier to deal with all the disgusting things these men paid us to do. scat, piss, pretending to be their teen daughters or worse to be 8 year olds, enduring violent anal, vaginal and oral penetration. it was a living nightmare. most of the girls there couldn’t even speak the language because they were trafficked from other parts of europe (i live in a legal country btw). my workbestie and i regularly fantasized about the ways we would commit suicide... slitting our wrists, or maybe jumping from our hotel balcony? everything would be better than this. my story isn’t isolated. it’s the story of the vast majority of prostituted women.
oh i forgot to mention that ALL of us experienced some form of sexual violence very early in our lives.
