Look Idgaf About Selena Gomez Or Her Drama And Everthing I've Learned About This Relationship Has Been

People be like, “Oh, you’re reducing womanhood to just having a vagina.”

And I’m like... yeah....

The fact I was born with a vulva was the entire baseline of the sexism I faced growing up and still face every day.

It’s not some abstract identity or feeling. It’s the brutal, physical reality that shaped how the world treated me from day one.

So don’t tell me womanhood isn’t tied to the body when that body has been the frontline of every fight I’ve had to survive.

I love my body, if I’m being honest: Like, thank you for carrying me through all this kind of love.

But it’s also just a body. It’s weird. It leaks. It gets sore. It’s lopsided and unpredictable at times, my back hurts a lot.

Because it’s human, my vessel, not my whole story.

But unfortunately, outside factors have tried to disrupt that and tried to make me distrust this body.

Tried to convince me it was too much, too little, too wrong, too dangerous, too female.

They taught me to flinch at my reflection and to see my body as something to fix, cover, offer, or hide.

All because I have a vulva.

A vagina.

Labia.

Ovaries.

A uterus.

Tubes.

Mammary glands.

That’s all it took.

Not my words. Not my thoughts. Not my heart or how I treat people.

Just the fact that I was born in this body with these parts and suddenly the world decided what I deserved.

Pain. Shame. Control. Violation. Comparison. Dismissal.

They built entire systems to punish me for being born with organs I didn’t choose.

And then had the audacity to tell me I was reducing womanhood by naming the body they’ve spent centuries trying to control.

So yeah I’m a woman because I have a vagina.

Deal with it 💋

85% of survivors of prostitution report being victims of incest as children, 90% were physically abused, and 98% were emotionally abused.

“Incest is boot camp. Incest is where you send the girl to learn how to do it. So you don't, obviously, have to send her anywhere, she's already there and she's got nowhere else to go. She's trained. And the training is specific and it is important: not to have any real boundaries to her own body; to know that she's valued only for sex; to learn about men what the offender, the sex offender, is teaching her. But even that is not enough, because then she runs away and she is out on the streets and homeless. For most women, some version of all these kinds of destitution needs to occur,

I have thought a lot in the last couple of years about the meaning of homelessness for women. I think that it is, in a literal sense, a pre- condition, along with incest and poverty in the United States, to create a population of women who can be prostituted. But it has a wider meaning, too. Think about where any woman really has a home.

No child is safe in a society in which one out of three girls is going to be sexually abused before she is eighteen. No wife is safe in a society in which recent figures appear to say that one out of two married women has been or is being beaten. We are the homemakers; we make these homes but we have no right to them.”

Getting very sick of trans-identified men making creepy, voyeuristic media about the violence and suffering that women and girls experience at the hands of men.

90% of pregnancy plotlines

See, it’s good to laugh at yourself when you’re being silly.

Sex is why women are opressed

Gender is how

“emasculating” is a euphemism for “demeaning in a way only women should have to suffer”

Thank god for 2A 🤭🤭

“You will never be a woman” lmao it’s nice to be affirmed as a trans man. Transphobia failed successfully

Suffragettes didn't just fight for women's voting rights.

They fought for the right for women to own property, domestic violence protections, the right to initiate divorce, the right to have legal standing in courts, the right to obtain guardianship of their children during instances of divorce.

I'm sure you've heard men complain about women always getting custody in court, but prior to World War I, in cases of separation, men obtained guardianship of kids.

The right to an equal education, domestic violence protections, the right to not just vote but run for political office, advocating against the prostitution of women.

Here's a suffragette trying to persuade a sea of men about these things:

Six times??

Not trans. Not a drag queen.

we should normalize bullying terfs to death
