Circling Back To Where We Started

one time my university invited a motivational speaker and he started by talking about historical figures he found inspirational (like in business/economics) and then asked "what do they have in common?" and a girl in the crowd shouted "they're all men!"

Not sure who she was but I'll never forget her

has anyone else noticed the shocking amount of pro-pedophilia sentiment on this site recently. Because i have noticed it . and sometimes it's under the guise of supporting Everyone and not doing "puritan callout culture" or whatever but i've also seen people say, like, "you have to support weird freaks even the ones with unethical dangerous paraphilias" and act like you're the weird one if you go hey wait a minute. i think pedophilia is bad actually. Like has anyone else noticed this because i feel crazy rn

My detransition correlated directly with my capacity for self-deception and my ability to trust my own mind. As I lost the ability to lie to myself, and gained autonomy from those who sought to change my beliefs about myself, I became more aware of the ways transition harmed me, of the fact that it was not the thing that “saved my life” as I had previously thought, but rather a coping mechanism that prevented me from actually changing my life for the better.

the “block op they’re a terf” movement was so thorough that now none of the libfems have any idea what radical feminism is about. I just saw a post saying that we enforce rigid gender roles and most of us are white like…not only are there a LOT of radfems of color (including myself), our whole thing is abolishing gender while acknowledging sex based oppression

I've gotta say, watching the creepiest dudes from my high school become TIMs is dystopian as fuck.

"Trans women are women" that is literally Brad from English. He's been fetishizing lesbians and frying his brain cells with anime porn since he got access to the internet.

noo nope. nope. transwimmin can’t be radfems full stop i can’t deal with TIRFS

"TERFs reduce women to their genitals and reproductive organs!"

So why are you crowdfunding "bottom" surgery in your bio? Why is having the genitalia of the opposite sex so important to you? Why do you get envious of the opposite sex for their ability to get pregnant, have periods etc? Why are you so desperate to claim you're having a period when you start hormones?

If gender expression has nothing to do with genitalia and reproductive organs, why are you so desperate to change yours? If a woman is not someone who was born with the female reproductive organs and genitalia, why are you having "bottom" surgery?

I don't think it's me reducing women to their genitalia and reproductive organs...

What women (female human beings) experience under the new administration's executive orders and subsequent introduced bills by republicans:

Potentially being charged with a felony and in some states the death penalty for taking the abortion pill or contraception pills.

Being politically forced to incubate and going through unwanted pregnancies, which will result in ~20+ years of being a caregiver to a child emotionally, financially, physically.

Rapists can now choose the mother of their offspring.

Women will be unable to medically treat sometimes life-threatening and extremely debilitating hormone cycle related conditions through contraception.

Women's healthcare is now required to also meet the needs of men (house resolution 7). In other words, honey, does your husband want you to have that hysterectomy?

What Tribes are experiencing:

A complete freeze to federal funding—the vast majority of tribal nations as sovereign yet dependent nations almost solely rely on this funding for very basic human programs (education, housing, food, elder care, youth care, protection).

What gay people are experiencing:

Rollback of gay rights and same sex marriage which allows us extremely important legal protections including allowing us into hospitals to care for our dying loved ones, property rights, etc.

What trans people experience under the new administrations executive order in comparison:

"I'll have to hide my pronouns in my social media bio :("

"I'm not able to alter my birth certificate"

Males can't be transferred to women's prisons.

Trump recognized there were two sexes.

Literal children and teenagers under 19 years old can't be pumped full of hormones or given surgeries to drastically alter/modify their sex. Adults over 19 still can.

Boys in high schools can't follow girls into locker rooms and bathrooms through just arguing they don't identify as boys.

Schools can't be federally funded (incentivized) by students believing they aren't really of their sex or by them just using different pronouns.
