You know what’s scary about this age? You can’t even enjoy your down time. You’re socially convinced that every moment you’re spending not doing anything is wasted time. That you always should be working towards something. We forget that it’s okay to have a breather and simply take time to yourself.
you do realise that being trans is a condition right. like it is in your brain capacity to know that to be trans you must have a mental illness called dysphoria. it aint that fucking hard to know.
ALSO y’all fucknuts who say the ‘transgender movement is sexist’ can suck my dick.
What is your definition of a woman then? Ours is adult human female, with female meaning “of or denoting of the sex that can produce eggs or give birth”
According to the definition, transwomen are not female and therefore aren’t women. They’re just not. They’re dysphoric males.
We call transgender activism sexist because it relies on misogyny (see gendered and sexual “suck my dick” thread to women above) and defines women via a set of patriarchal stereotypes and not their physical reality.
What on earth do women and transwomen have in common?
I want to ask you something. I think this should be pretty easy to answer.

Which of these women do you think are and aren’t trans women?
Are you suggesting that being a woman has something to do with adhering to a stereotypical physical look? Should all women look a certain way?
The ones that are women are of or denoting of the sex that can produce eggs and give birth. Some men have surgery to appear more female. What’s your point?
What I’m saying is, can you find differences in these women based on if they’re trans or not. That’s what I’m saying. You said “what on earth and women and transwomen have in common”
So clearly your point is that some “passing” transwomen appear to be female and that’s what they have in common.
Are non-passing transwomen male? Do they have nothing in common with women?
Surgery and makeup does not a woman make.
Non passing transwomen, typically are very aware of their “non passing”-ness (so they try to make themselves feel more feminine to ease dysphoria). Typically if a trans woman is like “here’s my penis!!! Go suck it!! Here’s my beard and I’m not even going to make it look like I have boobs!!” They’re not trans, that would trigger their dysphoria and from what I’ve heard trans people say, their dysphoria is horrendous (unable to shower because looking at their body makes them breaks down).
I used to be a radfem. What I (thankfully) learned was those trans women you have a problem with, aren’t trans women, they’re tucutes and transtrenders, or they’ve been brainwashed. Most trans women aren’t like that and want to learn how to be what their birth sex should’ve been.
Surgery and makeup doesn’t make up a woman, but surgery and makeup can help disguise or change your features to lessen or get rid of your dysphoria.
Now I’m not going to go and say “I know everything and anything because I’ve been a libtard and a TERF!1!” Because everyday I’m learning. Maybe speak with some (actual not trenders) trans women. Someone I really like is @/misslondon on youtube. She’s newly 18/19 and actually has fucking common sense. I’m not going to speak for all trans women so I hope you can understand.
But that still doesn’t make them female. Dysphoria does not change your sex. They aren’t women. They are men with dysphoria.
You don’t understand what being transgender is. Transgender people know their sex isn’t the sex they want. They are not men with dysphoria. Dysphoria is a mental illness. Transitioning is treatment for dysphoria. Despite all that people like to complain, the brain sex myth isn’t a myth. Although they aren’t separate sex organs, they have different physical attributes (such as women having different anatomy than men, not a different species, just different shape).
If dysphoria is a mental illness, why do we treat it with surgery?
Anorexia is another example of bodily dysphoria — we don’t give anorexics bariatric surgery, so why should we offer a surgical remedy for a mental problem?
Further, you trot out these studies — all of which clearly state that their results are not conclusive, and which are all conducted post-hormones and after a lifetime of socialization. That’s nurture, not nature.
Lastly, you say that these “suck my dick” trans women aren’t “true trans women”. That’s called the No True Scotsman fallacy, first off. Secondly, we have no way of knowing who is a “true” trans and who’s faking it — I thought anyone could be whatever they identified as, and we couldn’t question identity. If they identify as women, they are women.
Who are you to say otherwise? Are you transphobic? Why are you a TERF??
It doesn’t really matter what’s going on in your brain that makes you think you’re a woman. There’s nothing going on in my brain that makes me think you’re a woman, and your beliefs are not supreme to mine.
Except you are not a woman (adult human female) you are a man (adult human male) you chose to do this shit.
As a woman (adult human female) I can not opt out of being judged for my appearance and I have femininity pushed on me and it is annoying and restrictive.
To me femininity is an obligation that I must take on to be able to be treated like a human being not like the demonised caricature you use to justify your misogyny (hatred, contempt, prejudice against women and girls).
You however can wipe off the shitty eyeliner and wear clothes you find in the men’s section and enjoy your male privilege (which you still have even when you dress like that).
me waiting for anon to eventually realize that men like attention and getting babied, even if they have to suffer for it, and identifying as female provides a never-ending stream of head pats and sympathy
I’m sorry, but anons reason for saying transwomen are women is just so fucking stupid and nonsensical.
Has anon SEEN all the stupid painful shit men put themselves through for absolutely no fucking reason??? I grew up watching my brother and all his friends playing “bloody knuckles,” where you punch each other’s fists or a wall as hard as you can until one of them bleeds and therefore loses the game. Once I watched a guy friend pluck out every hair on his leg with tweezers, just cuz. I’ve seen a dude smash a glass pitcher over his own head to win a $5 bet. I’ve seen two guys poke upholstery needles through their nipples because they wanted to try to get featured on Tosh.0. The argument of “transwomen must be women because why else would they go through all that trouble and suffering” might be the most ridiculous and pointless rationalization yet if you’ve spent time around literally any men.
people put themselves through unnecessary suffering for attention and sympathy all the fucking time. each and every one of them wants to be a goddamned martyr for their cause.
