what are your thoughts on trans people using the bathroom they pass in? personally i would be okay with a passing tw in the womens room because if they look to be female (size, bone structure, mannerisms, etc) it seems like there is a way smaller chance that they have weird intentions and a way higher chance that they just want to pee without being harassed themselves in the mens room. i start being uncomfortable when people that are clearly “male” or “manly” want to come in the womens room when their presence is obviously intimidating. same with a passing trans man, if they look super manly and i thought they were male i would be uncomfortable seeing them in the ladies room.
thoughts?
EFF u on not touching because trans women aside this is EFFing horrible and a great big ole elitist slam against GNC women that don’t have passing privilege!
Wow you’re garbage.
How does someone say they want to abolish gender yet they straight up say they feel uncomfortable going to the bathroom with someone that doesn’t look like the same gender as them according to society???
tag yourself i’m “female bone structure” because fuck anyone who dares to transition as an adult
If Disney wants to make live action remakes of their animated musicals they could do Hunchback of Notre Dame, cut the gargoyles, and actually let the story be as dark as it clearly wanted to be. The could keep the music and just stop trying to make it a family film and it’d be fucking amazing.
Literally heard a convo at the library where a guy was telling a girl that he’s an omega and the girl telling him that she’s a beta, and my mind just did not automatically connect the context to fraternity pledge classes at all and I just whispered to myself “what the fuck?? What the fuck??”
if ‘female socialisation’ is a horrible, harmful thing for cis women and trans women, wouldn’t ‘male socialisation’ also be harmful for cis men and especially trans women? surely being indoctrinated into gender roles under the patriarchy is bad, even if those gender roles are telling you that you’re (expected to be) good and strong and powerful? because this socialisation is still hurting even cis men, they have problems dealing with emotions and anger issues into adulthood because it was never taught to them as kids.
like i honestly don’t get if TERFs are pro-socialisation or against. They make it very clear that ‘female socialisation’ is a harmful patriarchal system that harms ‘females’ from birth (including of course the trans men they’re misgendering). it’s described very clearly as trauma.
but trans women need to be demonised for undergoing the exact same thing? told we’re as bad as cis men when we’re actively trying to unlearn it? told we benefit from it, as if we’ve been built to be good little patriarchal servants, as if we haven’t had psychological scars from the process. u can’t imagine this socialisation is a good thing for us. u can’t imagine any trans girl wanted it.
so maybe…. stop attacking trans women as if we benefit from our childhoods. and if u really hate ‘female socialisation’, u should probably stand with trans people calling for gender neutral parenting, honestly.

Like when I say sex work is “just a job” I don’t mean that it can’t be traumatic but do you know how many women I know who’ve literally gotten PTSD from workplace treatment in the software development industry.
Claiming you don’t need or want a safe space of any kind because “life isn’t safe” is the most obnoxious kind of bravery debate.
Life as an entity/overarching concept isn’t safe, sure, but we’re not talking about safety from random happenstance; we’re talking about things we can control. You could get hit by a car tomorrow, but that doesn’t mean you should take a bath with your toaster. Similarly, the fact that some people out there in the world might be callous and cruel is not a reason to avoid callousness and cruelty when you have the option. On the contrary: it’s a reason to insist on more exacting standards when you have the chance to do so.
I always wonder how many of the people who say things like this actually deliberately hang out with unpleasant assholes IRL.
Or, like, sleep with the front door unlocked. Or invite the whole neighborhood on their next date. Or let strangers smoke on your porch. Because choosing who you want in your personal sphere would be a “safe space”, and safe spaces are for snowflakes, right?
I think a big problem is that “safe space” can describe anything from “place where people are treated with basic civility and respect” to “nightmare echo chamber that punishes anyone who expresses any idea that the group, or the leader of the group, doesn’t like.”
Assholes deliberately misrepresent the former as the latter. Silly snowflakes! How dare you ask that people not be dicks to each other!
Quoting myself from a previous clarification:
The context here … is a Facebook post I made asking my friends to
describe what discursive norms help them feel safest and most able to
thrive. A friend of mine commented that they don’t maintain emotional
safe spaces because safety is a farce, which is incredibly disingenuous
to me – just the fact of having friends you like is an emotional
safe space. Do you actively hang out with people who make you
uncomfortable? Do you require that your friends treat you with respect
as a requirement for hanging out with them? If yes, congratulations –
you maintain an emotional safe space.*marries someone I hate*
*all my friends are transphobic, homophobic murder convicts*
*sleeps next to twelve starving tigers in a rusted cage*
*simultaneously has depression and owns several handguns*
*only eats food that is past its expiration date*
*house is located at the edge of a cliff*
*front door faces the cliff*
*bungee jumps to leave the house every morning*
*only music on my phone is Miley Cyrus*
TAKE THAT, SJWS
concept: my posts having an expiry date where yall can’t reblog them anymore after six months cause by then my whole humour and online persona will have changed again
#i was too excitable six months ago. now im older and world weary
Six months from now you’ll be too salty and cynical.
Unpopular opinion time: A lot of the hate Ayn Rand gets is because she was a womyn. The shit she says about self interest actually is very similar to other theories men have put forward and it is very telling that that is the thing she is most hated for. The number of “Ayn Rand hates children” jokes I see is just gross because like, when does a man ever get that shit? She is called rude, unemotional, ugly, unloving and basically a failed womyn by leftist men. And this is obvious misogyny? A million men advocate for the free market and of course Ayn Rand is the one that is hated because she was a womyn who interrupts men in interviews and advocates self interest!
At the end of the day a womyn advocating self interest and relationships based not on self sacrifice but on what you want and get fulfillment from is terrifying to leftist men because…well, what would that actually mean for womyn?
we don’t need to make fun of weird radfem terf tumblr anymore, they are mocking themselves with shit like this
defend ayn rand uwuw
“leftist men only hate here cause she is a womyn uwu”
i am at a loss of words how ridiculous this is.
“People only hate Thatcher because she’s female, not because she and Ronald Reagan were neoconservative imperialist besties.” – terf tumblr 2020
she advocated poor and queer women starving to death, what a wholesome radical womyn
this is ‘im not like those other girls’ as an ideology tbh
