A Lot Of Terfism And Branches Or Extreme/radical Feminism Really Has Just Reinvented Bioessentialism.

So within two days of each other, Fox News writes an article comparing aromanticism and asexuality to pedophilia, and then Matt Walsh releases a video saying asexuality is a mental illness and asexuals are tricking teenagers into having depression.

Not sure what’s going on right now over in Conservative World, but it’s a hell of wild U-turn for them to suddenly switch from “Oh no! The left is sexualizing our children!” to “Oh no! The left is asexualizing our children!”

Hey, here’s a concept. What if we stopped saying “but autistic people CAN do all those things” (erasing high support needs) and instead started saying “not being able to do those things doesn’t impact someone’s value as a person nor does it make it okay to commit eugenics”.

I actually think is okay for lesbians and gay men to have “exceptions” when it comes to their sexuality without having to redefine themselves with a label that doesn’t fit them. A lesbian choosing to stay with their newly trans man partner doesn’t mean they have to call themselves bisexual now when they aren’t, they loved this person before and they love them now and can respect their gender but still not attracted to any other men. Same for gay men who stay with their newly trans women partners. And of course this is predicated on the assumption that all partners involved are okay with the words used! If they don’t feel invalidated and they feel respected that’s all that matters. And gender is complicated, a lesbian can love a masculine nonbinary person and still be a lesbian because their partner isn’t a man. Not to mention genderfluidity. And I think it’s okay for someone to describe their own experience as gay with an exception.

trans women, i love you.

you were a woman yesterday. you're a woman today. you're a woman tomorrow. you're a woman forever.

trans women have existed long before those stuffy bigots sitting in a court room have. trans women will continue to exist long after they're dead and rotting in the earth.

Such a great, revealing peek into the transmisogynist’s mindset

I mean I know a certain level of projection on fictional characters and situations is inevitable and even healthy, but sometimes you got to step back into the real world to remind yourself that Character X is not your shitty parent/abusive ex/asshole boss/bully from high school, and that people who like Character X are not personally victimizing you.

me: hey so uhhhh if being a woman must be experienced one certain way then how do you factor in women of colour or women from other countries into that?

radfem i have the displeasure of speaking to: shut up i'm not even going to reply to that go read a feminist book
