#stop erasing women

[fish-with-fingers]

In a world where menstruation huts exist, 1 in 5 girls miss school because of their periods in a 1st world country (America), 23 million girls drop out of school in India because of their periods, 1 in 10 women are affected by endometriosis, yet only a fraction will get diagnosed and so many other terrible statistics that show the shame, poverty and lack-of-education that surrounds menstruation in today's world, saying that only biological females can have a period, is not offensive.

Because guaranteed, if men could have periods, we wouldn't have these statistics, we wouldn't have these traditions and we wouldn't have the level of shame that exists.

Trans women are not women. Trans men are not men. They are just trans. Stop this propagandist gender cult. Stop the erasure of women. We will not be reduced to our mere body parts by people who are not even real women. Give women the right to their safe spaces and sports.

Feminist: hey making everything gender neutral will hurt women because people don't take us seriously.

Libs and teenagers with Twitter: what no it will be fine!!

"I want Annabeth to be blonde :(" then pick up a PJO book and read it you dumb fuck

#pjo fans stop being weird about black annabeth challenge IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #first off annabeths race isnt important to her story. annabeth could be any race. her skin colour doesnt actually impact her. her hair does #now im not blonde but im a white girl so let me explain why some pjo fans need to stfu. i have grade 9s. im called stupid for my appearance #im not insulted bc im white or bc i have blue eyes or brown hair. im insulted bc women are judged on their appearance. im insulted bc SEXIS #annabeth isnt really called dumb for being blonde. shes called dumb bc shes female. and ppl are more likely to stereotype women than men #this is especially true for black women! whatever sexism white women get is always horrifically multiplied for poc women #black hair frequently gets called unprofessional untidy unhygienic etc. its VERY likely that show annabeth has been called dumb for her hai #does this make the casting “accurate”? no. but castings don't have to be accurate. they have to ADD to the character. #annabeth being black ADDS to her character because it showcases how women (esp black women) are devalued for their appearance #movie annabeth wasnt bad for having brown hair or white hair she was a bad adaptation bc she was ooc #i just think its ironic that a core aspect of annabeth was being judged for her looks. and now show annabeth is getting judged for her look #like. you guys really missed the point here. #anyways disagree all you want but book annabeth is still blonde. no one is erasing her. theres a new PJO book w blonde annabeth SEPTEMBER 2 #GO READ CHALICE OF THE GODS IF U WANT BLONDE ANNABETH OMG! adaptions and source material can be separate and coexist! #rant over sorry #pjo #percy jackson #annabeth chase #pjo show #percy jackson and the olympians #the lightning thief #discourse #shitpost #percy jackson show #pjo discourse #riordanverse

Being a wholly gender-conforming feminine woman and complaining that people's first instinct isn't to they/them you is the definition of a first world problem 💀

#i use she/they but people always default to she :((( half my identity is being erased :(((( #boo fucking hoo get a goddamn hobby and stop thinking about yourself so much #tired of hearing women who've never gotten a second look in a bathroom complaining about how hard they have it as 'fem-presenting enbies'

i think some of you need to sit down and interrogate why you dislike sabina so much because from where i’m sitting a lot of it is just thinly veiled misogyny. you don’t have to ship her with alex and you don’t have to like her but i’m so tired of people treating her as nothing more than an obstacle to their ship of choice and then trying to shift the blame onto horowitz for writing her poorly when there are literally dozens of male side characters who we know nothing about that get more fandom attention than sabina does. she’s not some evil irredeemable wench for struggling to support alex after the events of eagle strike. she’s a fifteen year old girl whose entire life was upended and has to watch someone she cares about be blackmailed into putting himself in danger again and again. if you can forgive yassen for sending alex to scorpia or k-unit for treating him like shit in brecon beacons, why can’t you forgive sabina for pulling away and trying to live a normal life. you can find her annoying or boring or pointless as a character, but alex very clearly cares about her. acting like he doesn’t says more about your attitudes towards female characters than it does horowitz’s lol

#alex rider #i’m not going to deny that she was badly written at times #especially after eagle strike #but that’s not her fault as a character. that’s on horowitz for being weird about women #the truth is that sabina is one of the only characters to point out alex’s own hypocrisy to him #she was the only person who suspected something was going on before he told her #her family literally took him in after he thought jack died #i can totally understand not shipping her with alex. #but you cannot deny that they care about each other. alex didn’t leave san francisco because he didn’t care about her #it’s not sabina’s fault that he’s traumatised and it’s not her fault for wanting to move past her own trauma #she didn’t do anything wrong. and like i’m sorry but this is anthony horowitz we’re talking about #he erased the mention of a gay couple just EXISTING in christmas at gunpoint when it got reprinted in secret weapon #i promise that even if sabina never existed yalex/tomlex/fredlex still wouldn’t be canon #she’s not getting in the way of anything. #so please stop fucking punishing her in fics where those ships DO get together #just stop punishing her in general. you dont have to write about her if you dont like her

listen i am over the moon that dc has finally decided to bring sin back into black canary's story. i love that. i love sin lance. i love dinah lance. i love their relationship. what i do not love is the fact that they have retconned what sin really is to dinah. sin is not and has never been her sister. she is her daughter. there is a difference and that difference matters. to take that away from both characters is ridiculous, pointless, and honestly deeply offensive. and yes i will die on this hill.

#comic book creators stop being afraid of mothers challenge #you will mental gymnastics your way into explanations as to why these women are never allowed to experience motherhood #and the second you give them a piece of it you take it away and scrub it from existence and pretend it never happened #and you don't get how that might be seen as shockingly misogynistic and offensive as fuck? #y'all really and truly think motherhood makes a woman ''weak'' and it shows #and it's an extremely fucked up thing to do especially with dinah because of her long and storied relationship with motherhood #the arc was incredibly flawed but sin and dinah's relationship as mother and daughter became integral parts of who they are #and now they've erased that and it is most definitely because it's not seen as sexy or badass to be a mom #and that is fucking gross #anyway happy to see sin but they can rot for that retcon #dinah lance #black canary #sin lance #dc comics

Know what I hate? Is the way JGY standom erases Qin Su as a person and act like the real romantic tragedy is shouldered by Lan Xichen despite QIN SU having been married to him based on lying and loving him so much she never said a word against him never sleeping with her again.

Stop putting Qin Su's romantic tragedy on a man who had no vested romantic interest in Jin Guangyao and erasing her innocent sacrifice.

#mdzs #mo dao zu shi #I hate xiyao #stop making these men gay when they aren't and demanding everyone else see them as such #also stop erasing the significance of women to these men thanks

sapphic is a good word, learn it and use it

#stop calling every sapphic a lesbian #esp when you know for a fact theyre bi #idk why y’all are dead set on erasing bi women 😐

(draft from my main, disclaimer for anyone who sees this: this blog is primarily a porn blog and stupid debating will be ignored or laughed at, you can try it but i dont care)

ive seen a lot of people incorrectly thinking that the trans people wanting to be acknowledged in reproductive rights discussions are all trans women, and as a result a lot of backlash to more gender neutral language in those discussions is like “you’ll never be a woman” “you’ll never be pregnant, so this doesn’t concern you” “‘males’ will never know the weight of this sort of decision, we don’t have to include you in this” and/or claiming that trans women throw tantrums and whine about dysphoria when it comes to about female-exclusive language and discussions about pregnant people

(they do not btw. i have never seen or heard a trans women interrupt a cis women and say that someone talking about periods or reproduction or anything to say they’re making her dysphoric, that discussing periods is transphobic, etc. and even if this hypothetical trans woman exists…… trans people are not a monolith. a few trans people saying stuff like that does not mean all trans people believe it.)

in reality, the people pushing for more neutral language… are trans men and nonbinary people who can get pregnant. “pregnant people” or “people with uteruses” or “people who menstruate” are not terms that exclude cis women, nor are trans people claiming that this language is being used to include trans women who can’t get pregnant (which is all of them, in the current world)

gender-neutral language with respect to reproductive rights (like abortion) is not misogynistic or erasing women or anything like that. frankly, i think it’s really fucking telling that people think that defining womanhood and being female by reproductive capability is cool and woke and feminist. “if you can have children, you’re always going to be female” is an outdated belief that doesn’t serve anyone but cis women and instead harms anyone who’s not a woman but can get pregnant.

“pregnant people” does not erase women, it just includes non-women who can also get pregnant. that’s all. it’s acknowledging a fact. it’s not some long-con game to remove cis women from existence, it’s literally just acknowledging that not all people who can get pregnant are women

#transandrophobia #transphobia // #misogyny // #‘saying pregnant people ignores women’ women are included in the word people. dumbass #i remember just after roe v wade got overturned i saw several posts from radfem types saying that trans men who were asking to be #acknowledged and recognized as victims of that decision #were delusional and ‘not realizing they can’t identify out of oppression’ #and a lot of them even suggested we should detransition as a result of that decision #because we’re ‘always going to be female’ #which is an incredibly callous and cruel way to look at this. #if you really support trans men (which a lot of terfs specifically say they do) even just as dysphoric or confused women #how is telling them they’re trapped as victims forever like. a feminist statement to you?? #‘uwu you’re going to be a victim of misogyny forever so you should detransition and accept being female’ #and just……… accept misogyny thrown at us because of it #if you think that you are an incredibly cruel person with no sympathy for marginalized people. like full stop #women are not the only group affected by reproductive rights being fucked with and i will beat you over the head with this fact #until it sinks in. women. are. not. the. only. ones. who. can. be. pregnant. #cis women are not the only ones who need abortion access. they’re just not. and acting like trans men wanting to be included in these #discussions is erasing women #is transphobic and cruel #accepting that not all people who can get pregnant are women is quick and easy and free. trust me acknowledging trans men will not kill you

I am so sick and tired of the gendies treating being bi as something bad!! They all identify out of it! They’re pansexual or omnisexual or they call themselves lesbians but still like dick and pretend that makes them lesbians because the dick is attached to someone who calls himself a woman. They id as nonbinary so they can call their attraction to both men and women gay, they call themselves boygirl f*gd*kes and qu**r and make up usernames with f*g in them and talk about how gay they are. Even the ones who still id as bi will call themselves wlw, sapphic, gay, nmlnm, before they call themselves bi! And not only that but they do that with lesbian too, as if they’re trying to erase them both and make them interchangeable! And all of this because they think being bi isn’t “gay enough.” But that’s the thing, of course it isn’t. Of course being bi isn’t gay enough! It’s being bi! It’s different! It’s not something to be measured against other sexualities! Being bi is a completely separate experience from being gay! The same people who claim “being bi isn’t any less lgbt than being gay! Being bi in a het relationship is still qu**r!” then go on to try everything they can to id out of being bi because being bi isn’t lgbt enough for them and they have to make themselves gay. These people lament “bi erasure” but they are the ones erasing us!! And erasing actual homosexuality as well! I’m sick of it!! The lgb are no longer part of that community! We’re old hat! We’re not interesting enough! They’ve done everything they can to replace our identities with new, made-up ones! I really do not get how the few people within that group who still call themselves bi haven’t woken up to how fucking stupid it all is, and I also don’t get why, among those of us who have woken up, we have hostility between the l & b. Lesbians are like the only ones who aren’t trying to erase bisexuality! Lesbians are the ones trying to establish that there is a difference between homosexuality and bisexuality, instead of trying to mush us all into one group where our experiences are completely indistinguishable from someone else’s. For so long bisexuality has kind of hopped onto the back of homosexuality in terms of culture and that’s why we don’t have a long running culture unique to us (a fact often used, unfortunately, to defend the idea that being bi is the same as being gay), but this is the perfect opportunity for us to create one and we’re not doing that! We need to take the baton that lesbians have passed to us and run with it! They are our teammates! They are the only ones not trying to redefine us! We need to focus more on addressing the rampant biphobia and homophobia of homophobic bisexuals who want to do everything they can to either identify out of bisexuality, or make bisexuality and homosexuality indistinguishable, instead of fighting with the lesbians who support us. We have an enemy and it isn’t lesbians and I don’t see enough discussion about biphobic bisexual genides

#i started off mad abt gendie biphobia and ended up mad abt radblr infighting #anyway lesbians 🤝 bisexual women #we gotta stop blaming lesbians for trying to HELP US define our unique experiences #by getting mad when a lesbian says ‘lesbians and bi women experience this differently’ you are perpetuating the same ideas that #the gendies do!! which erases us!! #we erase ourselves more than any other group does!! #radfem #radical feminism #radblr

[michellezagenda]

one of the biggest things i can’t stand is how mainstream female erasure is becoming. Women can’t have conversations about pregnancy or anything specific to females and our bodies without someone saying something like “people who can give birth-” these people think they’re so amazing and good for doing this. I’m sorry you’re offended that women are born women ? That’s not our problem if you’re feeling excluded, that’s the point. Only women know women
