your identity is based solely on gender stereotypes.
If a woman points out a boy is wearing a skirt by calling it girl's clothing, ask them if they realize they are wearing men's clothing and stare at their pants.
Seriously. How is this still a topic. They're just clothes!
any gender assigned is arbitrary and you're just mad that you're not as pretty as them.
you can be a boy and wear 'girl' clothes. it doesn't make you a girl. being stereotypically feminine doesn't make you a girl, being female does.

I think everyone severely underestimates how much iron women need compared to men. Lets put things in context first: beef contains about 1-3mg of iron per 100g/3.5oz, depending on the cut.
men and women are somewhat similar in iron demands up until 14 and then a huge change at 19 onwards. 19 year old+ men need around 8mg of iron a day. so like. a single large, or two small steaks. of course you get iron from things other than beef, and they'll likely get enough on any normal daily diet.
women need 18mg of iron a day and TWENTY SEVEN when pregnant. that's over TWICE the male requirement for your entire life and over three times when pregnant. THATS A LOT?? look at ur own diet for a minute and i promise you, unless ur going crazy on oats and chickpeas or something, you are NOT getting enough iron. probably not even close.
and I'm mind-blown by this because somehow, culturally, meat/red meat seems to be a more stereotypically masculine thing. when eating out, women get a salad and men get a burger or a steak. you google "person eating steak" and vast majority of results are men - when there are women, they've also got a cute little salad on the side, meanwhile men tend to have plates full of meat. (seriously. go google this. it's crazy)
WOMEN: YOU NEED TO EAT TWICE AS MUCH IRON-DENSE FOODS THAN UR BROTHER, UR DAD, UR HUSBAND ETC. MORE THAN TWICE AS MUCH. NO WONDER YOU FEEL FUCKING TIRED AND WEAK ALL THE TIME.
By the way, for anyone wondering, chicken hearts contain about 9mg/100g and don't taste that bad. it just tastes like chicken. i know this sounds so gross but i pan fry around 500g, pop it in the fridge and eat them cold throughout the day, split it across 3-4 days (don't eat past 3 days refrigeration). i promise its not that bad. (they're SO cheap btw. by far cheapest meat on the market, let alone meat with high iron. i get those 500g batches for THREE DOLLARS meanwhile a 200g steak is $15+ and doesn't even cover the iron i need). chicken liver is also really good and cheap but i cant vouch for the taste.
this is KILLING me right now how do you manage to make this about yourself
If we can all agree to call Robert Prevost by his new chosen name of Leo XIV then we can all call trans people by their chosen names. It’s not hard.
then its even sadder that youre using the intersex community as a scapegoat to change the definition of what a womyn is. not everyone who doesnt subscribe to transgenderism is a terf, you have to be a radical feminist. most of the people tras group in with us arent
Can you elaborate why terfs are rapists and misogynists <3
Terfs are not inherently rapists, but by sacrificing trans women to use the men's bathroom for the very little comfort that transphobes will get by knowing they forced women out of a literal bathroom. This, especially to post-op trans women, puts them at an extremely high risk of assault, rape, or murder. Encouraging the rape of trans women isn't much better than rape itself, but I would not (and didn't) call them rapists.
And terfs are misogynistic, as when they try to get the definition of 'Woman' to be based on sex, that's misogynistic, reducing women to only their genitals. This is discrimination of intersex people as well. Terfs, as well as most transphobes, have proven themselves to be misogynistic without doing what was said on the previous statement, by 'transvestigating' women in the olympics for being too 'masculine' (usually because of muscles). The fact that they do this shows they have an idea of what women should and shouldn't look like, thus misogyny.
I was having an argument with a TIM regarding radical feminism and he kept strawmanning what radical feminism even is by saying "terfs are upholding gender as a social construct and are against gender abolition", whenever I tell him that's not true he keeps calling me ableist insults. He also believes that actual lesbians attracted to actual women are "pussysexual"
Everytime I feel like maybe there's some good individuals among these people I keep getting proven wrong, males are truly the worst and I hope the male loneliness epidemic turns into a pandemic
Anyway sorry for the rant I just felt like doing it
as an intersex radfem you definitely aren't educated on intersexuality & don't understand terf views lol

"the most extreme example" is a reality for alot of womyn and girls.
Sex is why women are opressed
Gender is how
radfems: pro choice, pro feminism, anti war, pro gay rights, people over profits, anti capitalist, support black lives matter, oppose patriarchal religions, oppose sex work and porn because women are people not products, support housing and labor rights for trans people while simultaneously disagreeing with their ideology
conservatives: anti choice, anti feminism, pro war, anti gay rights, profits over people, pro capitalist, don’t support black lives matter, not only support patriarchal religions but use them to enact misogynistic and dangerous laws against women, oppose sex work and porn because “muh religion”, discriminate against lgbt
smooth brained tumblr fools: tHeY’rE LiTeRaLlY tHe SaMe
70% of them dont even know what a radical feminist is. they just see 'trans exclusionary" and piss themselves in fear of not being in the middle of every movement to exist
I wish upon all terfs/conservatives a plague of prion disease
100% i think if porn advertisements werent a thing porn addiction in teens would be less of a problem. thats how alot of teen boys are introduced to it.
It’s my business when men are forcing their girlfriends into anal sex. It’s my business when women are getting surgeries on their labia and breasts so they can look like model’s in playboy, its my business because young girls are being forced to act out porn scenes with their first boyfriends in case their boyfriends leave them or stop thinking that they’re hot, it’s my business when men are so gorged on porn they think a woman who doesn’t send nude pictures is weird, its my business when men are taking up-skirt photos and groping women, it’s my business when women are being forced to have sex without condoms so that it will feel better ‘for men’, because there are no condoms in porn scenes, its my business when women are lying and faking their orgasms because porn has taught men that sex is about THEIR pleasure, and that sex is just endlessly pumping their dick into a woman over and over again, it’s my business when I can’t look up anything on the internet without coming across advertisements for porn, its my business when I can’t look up any information on my sexual orientation without being overrun by porn even with the safe search on. Its my business, its my business, its my fucking business.
im not pro-cop but i think the fact that even cop supporters stereotype female cops as aggressive is stupid. of course the few womyn in such a traditionally and stereotypically male dominated workfield would have to be aggressive, no one takes them seriously! they're oversexualized, belittled, and assaulted just for being womyn. anyone would be aggressive, theyre just trying to prove themselves.
i think its because femininity is seen as an EXTRA effort on men but a requirement for womyn.
“making myself look feminine but in a gay tw*nk serving c*nt type of way”
or maybe you are just a woman who looks feminine ? genuinely why do so many women think that whatever they do if it’s done by a man it’s a hundred times better ? like ????
I feel a bit iffy about young kids in radblr spaces, so I just wanted to come in and say I hope you stay safe. Radfems get a bunch of death and rape threats. Apart from that, there are a lot of very grotesque topics we discuss that can be triggering for a sensitive audience.
I also recommend turning off anons. People feel way more comfortable being unapologetically hateful when they don't have to directly link their profile.
💯 turning off anons now! probably shouldve a while ago
just out of curiosity, how did you get into radical feminism?
tiktok 😗 very small amount of radfems there though
100% i was getting anon death threats before i even posted anything gender critical.
People who think they're "not a terf" but agree with me need to understand that the only difference between you and me is....saying the thing. You realize once you express your views, you'll be called a terf, too, right? I don't know why you think we choose this evil, facist, cunt, bitch- lable. We came as meek and mild, measured and nuanced, respectful and loving and we got told we should be raped while we're on fire. We only sound blunt and calloused now bc we stopped prefacing everything we say with "I think trans ppl deserve a good life uwu, I have empathy for those with gender dysphoria mew mew mew uwu " because we know it's no use- they don't believe us and they don't care. And they won't believe you either if you say anything.
why do you use the term womyn? why not just woman?
to avoid seeming like an adaptation of the word men or man. the spelling actually dates back to the 1970s :)
clara dao getting a boob job was definitely a big eye opener for alot of flat chested womyn about boob jobs.
for context, she was a tiktok body positivity type influencer with a flat chest. she was a big inspiration to alot of flat chested girls, but after she gained popularity she got a boob job.
i love how people have been reacting to this tbh. how dare she use flat chested womyns insecurities to buy her boob job!
this is just reinforcing the belief that being flat chested as a womyn is in some way a flaw and needs fixing.
again, feminism isnt the world mommy movement, its about female oppression. the phrase 'my body my choice' is about womyn and womyns healthcare only, not addicts and trans people.
some of yall need to understand that "my body, my choice" also applies to:
addicts in active addiction with no intention of quitting
phys disabled people who deny medical treatment
neurodivergent people who deny psychiatric treatment (yes, including schizophrenic people and people with personality disorders)
trans people who want or don't want to medically transition (yes, including trans masc lesbians with top surgery and trans women without bottom surgery, yall are so weird to them wtf)
and if you can't understand that, then you don't get to use the phrase
10 days sober from harry potter.. going coldd turkey..
Can't even boycott the last of us, can't even boycott captain america, SOME OF YOU CAN'T EVEN QUIT HARRY POTTER. And then you refuse to read some classic from a guy who's not even around to do any harm because "all the classics were written by white heterosexual men" WHICH IS NOT EVEN TRUE
blooood on my hands because womyn is defined properly..
"I don't like JRK but I still love Harry Potter"
You have blood on your hands
Burn your fucking Harry Potter merch or be burned with it.
I'm fucking livid.
saying becoming genderfluid was when you stopped trying to force yourself into conventional womyn standards is odd to be common within 'progressive' communities because those traditional beauty standards arent actually based on any fact. you shouldnt base your womynhood on if you like makeup or dresses or long hair because they are all stereotypes.
i dont believe most womyn actually like being 'feminine'. heels are uncomfortable, makeup is time consuming and difficult, dresses/skirts require you to sit awkwardly in order to not flash people, etc..
saying you arent a womyn because you dont conform to harmful stereotypes is just affirming them in a different way.
being a gnc womyn is powerful. you dont have to not identify as a womyn to not conform to toxic beauty standards.
womyn will always get the benefit of the doubt from me tbh
we women need to start defending each other the way men defend rapists
ask me anything 🤷♀️
holy fuck BISEXUALS?? oh my GOD
TLGB is correct I think. I think we never should have let them put transes after bisexuals. After BISEXUALS.
