The Stars Are Telling You This, Trust Me.

There is no way of truly knowing that the porn you consume is as "ethical" as it claims to be. Are you 100% sure that the actors haven't been trafficked? Do you know for certain that the performers are of age? Do you know, without a shadow of a doubt, that there is no abuse, coercion, or exploitation going on behind the scenes?

Just because something is marketed as "ethical" or "feminist", doesn't mean that it actually is.

body neutrality will always be more important than body positivity. you don't need to expand your definition of beauty to include yourself. you have a nose for breathing, legs for walking, and eyes for seeing. you don't owe "beauty" to anyone. learn to be comfortable in your body without having to be seen as 'attractive". confidence does not mean attractiveness

If you took women’s studies online, where/how did you go about that? How much did they cost? Did you get a degree or a certification?

this is KILLING me right now how do you manage to make this about yourself

If we can all agree to call Robert Prevost by his new chosen name of Leo XIV then we can all call trans people by their chosen names. It’s not hard.

again, feminism isnt the world mommy movement, its about female oppression. the phrase 'my body my choice' is about womyn and womyns healthcare only, not addicts and trans people.

some of yall need to understand that "my body, my choice" also applies to:

addicts in active addiction with no intention of quitting

phys disabled people who deny medical treatment

neurodivergent people who deny psychiatric treatment (yes, including schizophrenic people and people with personality disorders)

trans people who want or don't want to medically transition (yes, including trans masc lesbians with top surgery and trans women without bottom surgery, yall are so weird to them wtf)

and if you can't understand that, then you don't get to use the phrase

your identity is based solely on gender stereotypes.

"He's wearing girl's-"

If a woman points out a boy is wearing a skirt by calling it girl's clothing, ask them if they realize they are wearing men's clothing and stare at their pants.

Seriously. How is this still a topic. They're just clothes!

any gender assigned is arbitrary and you're just mad that you're not as pretty as them.

shout out to confident conventionally unattractive womyn. literally never let a mans lack of attraction to you define your worth. ugly men are allowed to be confident and not shamed for it, and so are we!

'non binary' people are usually just gnc, or a mix of female and male stereotypes. you think you arent a female or male because you dont like conforming to the stereotypes of your (actual) gender, so yeah, you base your gender on stereotypes.

gender stereotypes contribute nothing to your gender. you cant become a womyn or a man because those things ultimately mean nothing but your sex once you remove what society expects from the labels

^ the assumption by an anti-trans buttface that all identities "are based solely on gender stereotypes"

You're probably assuming I'm binary trans. Like, I went from one gender to the other. Classic radfem thinking.

That's much like saying that socialism is based on capitalism.

There isn't any way we can start socialism without the influence of capitalism when we exist in capitalism. There isn't any way that one can exist than with the influence of the existent reality.

However, based solely? That's just stupid.

Gender is all around us. I can't exist and presume that I have not been influenced by gender. However, by no means is the gender norm definitive of my or others' identity (unless they choose it so).

Binary trans is one way to exist, and non binary is the opposite. to be "based soley on gender stereotypes" would be to assume that all binary trans people are acting like the gender because the stereotype says so, but that's often not the case. Binary trans people are often using gender norms as guidelines because passing and fitting in is part of the desire of being trans - mostly for other people to respect and treat them with dignity, not because they are basing themselves off stereotypes.

my body makes SURE im not being 'gaslit' by giving me such heavy bleeding i cant go leave my home for a week, every month! so greatful. <3

(can't reblog this)

Why aren't autistic men removing their body hair? Why don't they complain about these same sensory issues?

It's not that I don't believe you, I just need you to understand that it is the removal process (shaving/waxing) that is the source of the discomfort. It changes the tip of the hair, and makes it feel coarse on skin. Many women started removing their body hair when they were very young, so they don't know any different and believe that body hair is inherently uncomfortable.

It doesn't make sense for body hair to inherently be uncomfortable, and somehow only to women. Men AND WOMEN!!! have grown body hair since forever, and removing it is a recent phenomenon. There is no documentation of it bothering people before then.
