original tiktok post (go support the og)

her name is adriana smith. she's been legally dead for 7 months and her body is being used as an incubator. shes been in a vegetative state and her body, without her consent, has been being used as an incubator for 30 weeks, 7 months now.

she died from medical neglect. and for those that say "it's for the baby", the baby isn't expected to live through childbirth, even before adriana died. her family will probably have to pay the medical bills (and likely funeral costs for both adriana and the child).

adriana needed a life saving surgery, but the doctors were more worried about a baby that wouldn't even make it more than the woman who was already alive.

some of the comments on the og video:

Often, men will say something like : "Who built this world? Men! Who created everything, all the technology, the great art, the culture, our societies? Who built the roads you drive on? Men!" and feminists will respond "That's because you didn't let us work or make art!" and... that's just wrong? Why are you validating the idea that women didn't contribute anything to the world? That we didn't work? That we didn't innovate? And why are you approving the nonsense that says being a mother is not work?

Don't let men rewrite history.

Women have always worked the double shift; outside of home and inside of home.

Remember Her?

How "the male gaze is revolutionary" is a genuine take now, is just insane to me

"Anora wasn't a good movie but you gotta admit that a movie about sex work winning so many awards in this political climate is revolutionary!!!"

Both Nazis and Fascists supported the opening of brothels because they helped reinforce the idea that women are to be subservient to men, if not as mothers and wives, then as means for sex. There's nothing revolutionary about Anora winning, and it's even less revolutionary in this political climate. You guys are just allergic to history books.

I know about the TRA term being a TERF thing, I learned it through radfem spaces and it's just a useful descriptor.

Again you're also putting words in my mouth. To be more clear since, "I hate nazis and im a far-leftist" isn't clear enough. I hate proud boys and any of Trumps "protect women" bullshit, because it's not protecting women, it's just to punish trans and GNC people. They also definitely like gender, they just don't think you can change it. Conservatives also ban abortion and want to pass a bill that doesn't allow many married women to vote. Infinitely worse for women's rights.

Bro I have seen multiple TRAs saying that in response to some TERFs finding it miserable to be a woman because of oppression. Or saying we're just "trans men in denial". Maybe not on a large-scale, but that is what that type of thinking leads to. And no I'm not saying a significant amount of TERFs will transition because of that. Gender dysphoria is a bit like body dysmorphia, it's influenced by outside views of gender and gender roles, like body dysmorphia is influenced by beauty standards. It's not about male vs female brains. That's a sexist idea. Both are caused by patriarchal standards. Both standards are bad.

If bio sex in prison is unimportant, then why even segregate male and female prisons in the first place? The reason I care about prisons is because rape is already common. It's less about average transwomen, more about creeps like chris chan who would take advantage of it. I would say a post-op trans woman should be in the women's prison though.

I don't really worry much about transgender stuff though and women have bigger problems, especially now. However, I am gender critical/abolitionist because gender, even more so with cis people, is a way to keep women down. It's a set of stereotypes and roles, which disadvantages women as a whole, so yes I am against it. Perpetuating the idea that woman=femininity is harmful. It's a bit disappointing when progressive people want to perpetuate it and encourage it too, but I'm aware you aren't the only ones and conservatives are worse.

I don't think trans women are replacing women, that would be insane. Well, once with Dylan Mulvaney, but not as an aggregate. I just think that gender as a construct should be gone and there shouldn't be expectations for people based on their sex, or what sex they appear to be.

Honestly I've noticed that a lot of the anti-terf shit is like McCarthyism

Like the "if they talk about feminism a lot they're probably a TERF"

reminds me of the shit like "If they talk about workers rights they're probably a communist"

Like damn maybe kind of accurate but how is there no "are we the baddies" moment here?

Like seriously what is this shit bro? @oarfishing  https://www.tumblr.com/oarfishing/758650339125821440/alright-im-sick-of-seeing-terfisms-on-my-dash?source=share

And there's this and then the "well i used to be a rapist but now I'm woke" brand of male anarchist. I met the latter once too.

The safe to be around crowd is at it again
