you saying that “transwomen are males” is transphobic like srsly, please educate yourself intersectionally wtf? you are transphobic. your “feminism” is transphobic. your “feminism” is therefore bullshit. also feminism is not just for women, it’s for all genders. it’s about gender equity. please stop promoting transphobia and transmisogyny. your brand of fake white “feminism” works for no one and only perpetuates the very cisnormative systems that oppress us. PLEASE PLEASE EDUCATE YOURSELF, geez

gotdaemitsuga I have educated myself and the idea of ‘cis privilege‘ contradicts the fact that women are discriminated on the basis of our sex and gender is a patriarchal construct that is designed by men to keep women subordinated. This is basic feminist class analysis. Trans ideology is not compatible with feminism.

The concept of ‘cisgender’ or ‘cissexism’ doesn’t make sense and it’s implications are anti feminist. Go look up the world health organisation’s definition of sex and gender and educate your self on what feminists have been saying about gender for decades (long before this ‘cisgender’ bullshit was popularised).

Feminism is about women not males who claim to be women. Feminism is female centric for a reason. The end goal of feminism is ending patriarchy not making up new ‘genders‘ (which does not address female oppression). 

Lol you are beyond help, my friend. At least be less obvious

You can’t argue against what I said because you have no argument. I made what I said really obvious. If you need help go look up the world health’s organisation’s definition of gender and what feminists have been saying about gender. I mean feminists not queer theory idiots (like judith buter).

i’m really sick of the ‘male/female’ natural interest dichotomy. growing up, males are asked to go help fix cars and mow lawns etc. and females aren’t. then, as you get older, men laugh like ‘lol u don’t even know what a radiator is’ and it’s like no we weren’t socialised to ‘like’ that stuff. it’s not because we’re naturally bad at mechanics or physical labour – it’s because we were never taught. they don’t teach us as children but patronize us when, as adults, we don’t know much about it. 

Also they can rip us off and overcharge these services to us as adults when we need our car fixed, or need to buy a second hand car, or get a toilet fixed, etc. If women learned how to do these things as children they wouldn’t have need for men to provide these (vastly overpriced) ‘essential services’ to them.
Even where we don’t mind men performing these services for us we would be in a better place to judge cost of labour and materials so they can’t overinflate their prices.

“The word “cis” means that someone is comfortable with the gender roles imposed on them on the basis of their sex. So to demand a woman identify as “cis” is to demand she declares herself comfortable with sexual harassment, compulsory heterosexuality, child marriage, genital mutilation, rape, prostitution, pornography, battering, objectification, unpaid labor, and pay gaps. To put this demand on radical feminists is particularly misogynist, cruel, and stupid, as they quite vocally seek to abolish the existence of these things, not only for themselves but for all women.“- owen loyd 

yeah, and this is only part of the reason i dislike the term “cis” being applied to womyn w/o their consent. regardless of physical appearance the majority of womyn experience dysphoria to some degree not just regarding the consequences of the social role as mentioned above, but also the performance of femininity- they can never meet the ideal- they experience the impracticality of it, the lack of bodily integrity, etc.

The implication of ‘cisgender’ is that women are happy with our lot in life, we aren’t.

bbrightstar:

What does it mean to identify with the “gender” you were assigned at birth?

Does that mean I’m like a 1950′s housewife who wears dresses and loves to cook and put flowers in her hair and sing to animals?

Does that mean I like pink and frilly things and being submissive and quiet?

Does that mean I like being oppressed for having a female body?

Does that mean I adopt sexist stereotypes for my own pleasure?

I don’t identify with femininity or misogynistic stereotypes invented by men about how women should behave or dress. Does that make me really a man “inside”?lol

What does it mean?

They either write a vague answer or use a gender stereotype.

Who knew socially ingrained constructs could differ so much based on gender?

Take a look at the shocking differences between raising boys and girls outlined perfectly in this comic.

Anti-feminist messages to a child: Boys wear blue, girls wear pink. Boys like superheroes, girls like princesses. Boys like playing in the dirt, girls like playing house. Boys are smart, girls are pretty. Boys grow up to be the boss, girls grow up to be a mommy. Boys are loud and strong, girls are quiet and gentle. Boys take what they want, girls give it away. Boys are studs, girls are sluts. Boys aren’t to blame for their actions, girls need to be careful how their actions affect boys. Boys are valuable, girls are valuable if they’re pretty, white, thin, smart but not too smart, and interested in men.

I have a busy day today so I’ll be unable to take new selfies for TDOV so here are some older ones.

Coming out as nonbinary was one of the best things I’ve done in my life after feeling so confused for the majority of it. Never let anyone bring you down regardless of how you look, act or dress. You’re who you are and the only love you need is from yourself. Hope you all have a wonderful day!

(Nonbinary, they/them, thanks!)

you have an enormous beard and will literally always get the accord of being a man as a result. Men got that social status by oppressing women. Using different pronouns and “coming out” as something that literally 95% of the population would qualify as didn’t do a god damn thing for anyone except your own precious feelings. Own your privilege, dude. You could use it to actually help someone if you pull your head out of your ass and start looking at the world you live in and benefit from.

These kind of men claim that they aren’t men because they don’t ‘identify’ as men, that they don’t have male privilege and women are somehow privileged over them. He is not even gender non conforming yet seems to think that he can distance himself from being a man. This kind of shit is going to get worse.
