Circling Back To Where We Started

For the woman, the proof of love is that she is willing to be destroyed by the one whom she loves, for his sake. For the woman, love is always self-sacrifice, the sacrifice of identity, will, and bodily integrity, in order to fulfill and redeem the masculinity of her lover.

Our Blood: Prophecies and Discourses on Sexual Politics, Andrea Dworkin

I've never seen something more ridiculously said in my entire life.

Saying cis as if it's an insult. The dehumanization claims, which affect both transwomen and natal women alike.

"People do things to transwomen that, when you tell people about it, they won't believe you."

Ludicrous. That happens to natal women too, stop shoving us to the backburner.

"Transwomen are the women of women."

Just shut up and educate yourself, for goodness sake. It's not as if men are forced to "handle a transwoman's life." They can stop at any time. Women, however, cannot stop being women even if they wanted to.

Matt: Male gametes. That’s what makes me male.

Michelle: No. No, your sperm don’t make you male.

Matt: Then what does?

Michelle: It’s a constellation.

Matt: In reality. In truth.

Michelle (confused): Whose truth are we talking about?

Matt: The same truth that says we’re sitting in this room right now, you and I.

Michelle: No. You’re not listening.

Matt: If I see a chicken laying eggs and I say that’s a female chicken laying eggs, did I assign female or am I just observing a physical reality that’s happening in the world?

Michelle: Does a chicken have gender identity? Does a chicken cry? Does a chicken commit suicide? Let’s frame it…

Matt: What’s that have to do with…

Michelle: Because you’re talking, you’re trying…

Matt: A chicken has sex, like any biological organism.

Michelle: A chicken has an assigned gender. But a chicken doesn’t have a gender identity.

Matt: So we “assign” female to chickens when they lay eggs? That’s a…

Michelle: We assume they’re female if they lay eggs.

It wasn’t so long ago that we were being told “NoBoDyS SaYiNg bIoLoGiCaL SeX IsNt rEaL”. Now they’re saying so out loud.

A licensed medical doctor and professor of pediatrics at Brown University who doesn’t think biological sex is observed or even real. Yet is allowed to advise, prescribe drugs to, and transition children based on the mental virus of postmodern social constructivism, and teach others the same.

I try to be understanding towards those who are hesitant about medical interventions because I myself am terrified of them, but I genuinely have no respect for parents who refuse to vaccinate their healthy, non-immunocompromised children. Influenza kills, measles kills, pertussis and diphtheria and tetanus all kill kids, and if it isn't your kid that bites the dust because of your poor parenting decisions, it's gonna be the ten-year-old with SCID in your kid's fourth-grade classroom

Sex is why women are opressed

Gender is how

RB if you hate being called Queer

I’m just curious <_<

equating women who don’t want biological males in their intimate spaces to rapists is honest-to-god the most INSANE take i have ever seen on this goddamn website

I don't care if terfs can be rehabilitated.

They don't deserve to be.
