#terfs: SHUT

[icannotgetoverbirds]

til:

terfs just straight-up ignore a good chunk of human existence, don't they?

like, intersex people? nope, sex isn't a spectrum u silly billy! u can just throw everyone in male or female boxes unless they're freaks who can't fit either in which case uh... those don't exist actually! 😅

or like. ohhh so sad all the transmascs who used to be such beautiful lesbians and now we've lost them. oh what transmasc lesbians? uhhh no those don't exist i don't know what you're talking about!

or like 'clocking' people. oh yeah you can totally always tell when someone's trans because they'll have the Wrong Features. yeah no most women of color are actually trans hope that helps! what, me, racist? Noooo, never! anyways everybody i don't like is secretly trans and i know Exactly How To Spot Them. yeah i'm also always right! isn't that wild?

honey. as someone who's got lots of experience with mental gymnastics (retired - that cult shit does some serious damage), let me be the first to tell you that you're not doing yourself any favors.

#terfs: SHUT #byrd chirps #untagged #i am So Tired #but this is also like incredibly funny to me #terfs plugging their ears with their fingers squeezing their eyes shut going LALALA I CAN'T HEAR U

terfs keep mentioning the % of autistics who are trans/nb and that we're 'brainwashed'

and because i'm an asshole, i decided to look into why so many autistic folks are trans/nb. it's not an inaccurate statement, at least the first half, but terfs lie through their teeth so i decided to get to the scientific root of it.

the answer blew my fucking mind.

the study on gender and autism i found said two very specific things about autistic people: we are more mentally resistant to things like social conditioning and binarism. we like our secret third things, y'know.

an excerpt:

“The finding that non-binary identities are most elevated seems to support hypotheses focussed on autistic resistance to social conditioning, which are consistent with existing evidence of the same effect with respect to self-description of sexual orientation. Perhaps elevated rates of trans identity in autism might result from a rejection of the binary cisgenderist norm, which combined with a below-typical concern for social norms could promote the disclosure of the identity.”

94% of autistics surveyed for that paper identified themselves as non-binary.

other studies have found autistic people have higher levels of critical thinking, and require more evidence to maintain or convert to a belief system (hence why many of us eventually fall away from religion) than allistic people.

which means, at least from my perspective, that:

a) the 'brainwashing' terfs are accusing the trans community of inflicting on autistic folks would likely not even work if they tried.

b) the current binary definition of gender flies directly against embedded autistic modes of thinking to begin with.

you cannot brainwash someone into thinking something they already believe.

hey quick reminder/psa!!!! if you shame lesbians for previously having sex/dating men you can genuinely go fuck yourself!!! not everyone figures out every part of their identity when they're 15 and we live in a heteronormative society that TELLS a lot of us that we have to date/be attracted to/marry men. a lot of us grow up in places/communities/families and where expression of our sexuality isn't safe and are taught that our identity is wrong and bad. so if you're going to shame lesbians who have previously slept with men, take your lesbophobia elsewhere and leave my friends and my community alone!!!!

#literally shut up #also a lot of this kind of shit ties directly into terf rhetoric

[radsplain]

women can't even talk about our own anatomy without having to caveat every single thing we say with "i think all terfs should die btw!!!" like i find it so interesting that this was her very first thought after posting. she knew how the notes were going to eviscerate her for it so she had to beat them to it. this right here is one of the reasons i peaked. any discussion about our bodies always, inevitably, is boiled down to "bioessentialist rhetoric" despite the very valid points it's making. the fact that any discussion we want to have about female anatomy is somehow a "TERF dogwhistle" for simply talking about body parts that half the human population has. and that every conversation like this has to be prefaced with "TERFS can fuck off and DIE!!!" or else risk being ripped to shreds by the gender freaks is so telling of where liberal feminism is today.

#also i don't mind being called a terf #it's just distressing to see so many important conversations being moderated and/or completely shut down bc “op is a terf” #like most of the time y'all agree with our points but the second you realize the source suddenly the point is moot #radfem #radfems do touch #radical feminism #peak trans #radsplain.txt

[hella1975]

it's been pointed out on here before that a lot of terf arguments are actually rooted in sexist idealology that feminists fought and died to unnormalise decades ago and that's its own kettle of fish but one thing i also find very frustrating about this so called 'radical' feminism is that it's so... defeatist? like the moment you categorically label an entire section of society as Bad and Inherently Evil then there's also the implication that nothing can be done about it, and it completely takes all accountability away. saying all men are evil is just another way of saying boys will be boys. he raped her because he's a man. he hit her because he's a man. he didn't listen because he's a man - it's almost offensively oversimplified. there's no point trying to fix this issue in society because men are just Like That, okay! so now what? it's not like they're going anywhere, so you just accept that 50% of the population are evil and will forever treat you terribly and there's nothing to be done about it bc they're biologically predisposed to it? like is that fr the argument here? you're soooo radical for that

#this is coming from someone who used to very genuinely be a misandrist #ironically it was only when i started actually analysing my own feminism that i got MORE confrontational with men #and started respecting my boundaries a lot better BECAUSE i started holding them accountable again #like when men treat me like shit nowadays i dont just write it off as 'what did you expect? he's a man' i get MAD about it #because i EXPECT BETTER FROM THEM even if it's just tiny shit women have to deal with daily #i hold them to just as high a standard as im held to and i make them take accountability when they dont meet that #and whether you realise it or not even on a subconscious level the MOMENT you black-and-white blanket statement all men as bad #you stop holding them accountable. #like it is literally just boys will be boys. do terfs seriously not realise they're sending feminism BACKWARDS #like if a girl came to me with her trauma and people - other girls no less - tried to comfort her with 'yeah all men are evil' #id be fucking furious. like no he did that because he was a piece of shit that had it normalised to him that women arent to be respected #dont you dare let him off the hook with something as simple and uncritical as 'he's a man' #i promise you men like that will MUCH prefer a blanket statement such as 'all men are as bad as each other' #than actually being point blank told they're an abuser or a rapist. because being lumped together is comfortable and even empowering #wheras isolating their behaviour with words that are Bad and Ugly (LIKE 'rapist') is not comfortable at all and has heavy connotations #idk i dont think radical feminism is always bad on its own it can be v liberating. just terfs and misandrists that i have a problem with #dropping this post in a piranha tank and closing tumblr knowing im gonna have some thirty year old karen yelling at me within 5 mins #i probably wont respond to any terf comments bc they literally mentally exhaust me with their stupidity #but that also depends on my mood and ability to keep my mouth shut LMFAO we shall see

fandom sexism is real cause if the lodge of sorceresses were men we’d be swimming in content of them in the way that the various witcher schools are. we NEED to be freaks about these despicable and overpowered women who cannot even do one thing right. hold my hand ….

#terfs don’t touch this and shut the fuck up #bro i’m even guilty of it i’ve never even cleaned up my kiera sketches and I have so many lol #like imagine if Philippa were a canonically gay man who oversaw a group of catty men who were all sorta psychsexually obsessed w him #we’d would not be able to escape phil content and yet .. #lodge of sorceresses #the witcher #double shot

[graveyardmouth]

idkkkkk its just kind of annoying that the erasure of trans men and mascs has gone so far that people will just straight up not mention us in conversations about terfs or trans rights or whatever

#liiiike okay cis ally you sound fucking stupid saying “twerf” #yeah guys terfs love trans men dont even question it at all. god #bug shut up #transandrophobia

[froody]

“detransitioners” taking it out on the trans community instead of admitting they took a massive L and were never truly trans in the first place

#the ftmtf detransitioners siding with TERFs and complaining about how they’re going bald and their pussy is dry #girl shut the fuck up that is a you problem

if you start off your argument with “[queer identity]s are invading _____ spaces!” i’m not listening to you

So have you managed to develop basic empathy for women yet? Or are you still stuck defending men leeching off of their grieving mothers? 🤗

Me: isn't it nice that Henry Thoreau’s mother cared so much about her young, grieving son, enough that she helped provide for him during a very difficult period in his young life. And yet that kind, loving act is now so often specifically used as a gotcha for antiintellectuals wanting to discredit a book they never bothered to read themselves. It seems like a very bad-faith critique for that purpose.

Very normal TERFS in my tags and askbox: are you saying that you HATE WOMEN and you LOVE WEAK EFFEMINATE MEN??? ARE YOU EVEN CAPABLE OF EMPATHY???

…methinks the lady doth protest too much if you read all of that into my post 🤷‍♀️

#I was like wtf is with this bizarre deliberate misreading of my post with so much vitriol hatred towards men-ah. wait. tis the TERFS. #shut up e #asks answered

I just want to make something absolutely ABUNDANTLY CLEAR.

My target audience does NOT INCLUDE Radical Feminists, far-right extremists, Nazis, and TERFS. And FUCK your feelings about it. There’s tons of other blogs out there for you if you subscribe to vile, hateful, exclusionary shit like that; my blog is NOT a safe space for you.

Where I come from, we make space for and take care of people who may be different than us. That means non-cishet people. That means sex workers. That means non white people. Non Christian people. If you have a problem with that then don’t bother following me or ANY of my friends or mutuals. We don’t want you here.

And if you don’t fuckin’ like it, then by all means, don’t let the door hit you where the good Lord split you, scum.
