Hey @ trans inclusive radical feminists, how do y’all beat the terf accusations while also talking about sex based oppression as a form of misogyny? I literally highlight my support of trans people in my bio and my pinned post and just got hit with a terf accusation :/

#I’m thinking maybe it’s because I will reblog posts that discuss good feminist concepts without checking to see if the op is a terf???#or is this just not possible to do at all if you talk about sex based oppression as a major player in misogyny?#like I don’t wanna stop posting or reblogging posts that happen to discuss some issues between trans tumblr and feminist tumblr #ex like claiming the Billie eilish must be trans since she dresses in a gnc way #because like that’s a terribly misogynistic way of thinking and needs to be brought to peoples attention #but I literally never imply that trans people on the whole are the issue like there are gonna be misogynists and bad apples in any group #no matter their identity #so like what do ya do to not have people mistake you for a terf?#is it just bc people knee jerk react when they see radfem inspired non transphobic feminist takes because they have experience with seeing #radfem informed posts that are transphobic?#tirf #trans inclusive feminism #trans inclusive radical feminism #trans inclusive radical feminist

What makes someone a woman in your opinion?

I think there's a biological/sociological disconnect. I think many transwomen occupy the social class of woman even if they are not biologically so. Radical feminist Catharine MacKinnon agrees:

I tend to lean "transwomen are transwomen" in my beliefs rather than "transwomen are women". I don't think I'm a literal woman (adult human female), but I think I exist in a sociopolitical state in which I share more common goals and solidarity with women than I do with men. MacKinnon believes womanhood is a social status, but I doubt she'd endorse the idea that womanhood is a mere feeling in your head. I think trans people, even non-passing trans people, live a unique social and physical status that is produced via materially transitioning. Thus, one is not born but rather becomes trans. I acknowledge my male sex (I'm not delusional), but on account of these acknowledgements I still consider the term "trans identified male" to be offensive. It implies that my transsexualism is a mere feeling in my head, an identity, and not a material lived reality. I think this is the fault of trans activists in a way, shooting us all in the foot by pushing the identity narrative and taking focus away from transition itself. Transitioning and materially changing your visual sex characteristics is clearly far more meaningful than merely claiming a gender identity.

Now, to acknowledge the elephant in the room...

TRAs...

In this brilliant thread, written by a radical feminist transwoman, she details how TRA self-identified trans women don't seem to really see themselves as women!

These individuals view themselves more as "amabs" than as women. They believe transphobia against transwomen is a product of "misandry" and not of misogyny and homophobia. They see their social class as trans people, or men, or "amabs", yet not women. I believe this is likely a result of these individuals confining themselves exclusively to trans spaces and making no effort to integrate among women. This accounts for the MRA behaviors present among modern online trans circles. This is likely why the integrated transsexuals MacKinnon and Dworkin speak of bear no resemblance to the modern day TRA "trans woman".

A friend of mine noticed what one could say is a Freudian slip in my part: that even when I acknowledge that biologically I am male, I refer to women as a class as "we" and men as a class as "they". Its clear this is how I see things subconsciously.

Internet TRAs seem to be the opposite, they'll swear up and down that "trans women are women", yet they seem to show no class solidarity with women. Trans rights this, trans rights that, yet they'll never speak on women's issues.

These activists claim to identify AS women, yet, unlike me, they clearly do not identify WITH women!

I may not be a literal biological woman, but I feel that I identify with women as a class, I feel that I have all to gain from feminism and nothing to gain from men's movements.

Basically: What do I believe makes someone a woman? I think its complex and multifaceted. I think "woman" has both a biological and social component to it. Nonetheless, its much more than simply identity in your head.

In my time on this site, I have often seen radical feminists (of the trans-exclusionary persuasion) complain about trans women presenting themselves in ways that enforce caricatures and stereotypes of women and femininity.

My response to this, however, is: why is the full blame for this being placed on said trans women instead of on the patriarchal systems that skew everyone’s perception of what it means to be a woman?

I'm so sick of seeing terfs bring up pads and tampons as if they're a sacred resource trans women are stealing from us.

Do I know why a trans woman would buy pads or tampons? No. Do I care? Also no.

They're £3 a box and available in every supermarket, convenience shop and women's toilet in the country. They're not stealing resources from cis women or personally victimising you in any way by buying pads. Grow the fuck up. 💀

q for "trans-inclusive radical feminists"

good faith question, I am genuinely struggling to understand this, I see so many on twitter (I do not get into gender ideology at all on there, only radical feminism, don't want to ask there) — how do you reconcile these two ideologies? What do you believe gender is? what do you believe a woman is? I would like to hear perspectives :)

Something I've been thinking about lately: In conversations about being intentionally child-free, I see a lot of people talk about how much they resent constantly being told that they'll change their minds someday. And yeah, that sucks. When you tell someone that they'll regret their choices or go back on them someday, you're telling them you don't trust them to make their own decisions. And that's a dick move.

But what I see left out of a lot of these conversations is the fact that some people do change their minds about kids, and that is also okay.

People change. Our priorities and our values change. Someone identifying as child-free at 20 and then realizing at 30 that they actually do want to be a parent doesn't invalidate other people's decision not to have kids. It doesn't even invalidate that person's previous decision. They're growing. They're changing, and that's okay. Healthy even.

When I was 18, I felt very strongly that I would never marry and never have children. For me, this was a reaction to growing up in a religious environment where women were second-class citizens, and what little autonomy/independence single women had immediately went away when they got married. And once you had kids? Well, once you had kids, your personal life was officially over and your identity now started and ended with being so-and-so's mother.

If your only model of marriage and parenthood is a nuclear family where the husband is in charge and makes all of the decisions while his wife does all of the housework and childcare and not much else, OF COURSE you wouldn't want to get married or have kids! My thought process at 18 was basically, "Well, I want to have my own money and make my own choices and have an identity outside of being a mom, so clearly the family life isn't for me."

I'm 25 now. I'm married. My husband and I both kept our own last names, and we maintain separate bank accounts. I have a job that I'm good at, and a lot of people know me from my work. I still have my own money, make my own choices, and have my own identity. None of that went away when I got married. All that's changed is that I have a partner and best friend that I decided to do life with, and we had a ceremony and signed a piece of paper to make it official. We're not quite at the having kids stage yet, but it is something we both want someday.

Me wanting marriage and kids now doesn't invalidate my decision at 18. When I was 18, focusing on my education and career was absolutely the right choice for me. I needed to be able to focus on myself without considering how it would affect a spouse or kids. Eventually, I realized marriage and parenthood can look a lot of different ways. I realized I can decide what they look like for me. I don't have to follow the model I grew up with. And I realized I do want raising kids to be part of my life, just in a way that looks different from what others might expect.

This is a process a lot of people go through, especially women and femmes. If you're in the middle of it right now, just know that you're allowed to change.

And of course, a lot of people don't change their minds. A lot of people who identify as child-free at 20 still don't want kids at 30, 40, or 50. I've met people in their 80s and 90s who never had kids and don't regret that decision. My point here is that some people changing their minds about something doesn't mean it's not a good option for other people.

(And, let's be real, unfortunately a lot of people go the other way: they think they want kids until they have them. That's way more complicated because now there's a whole human person involved who is dependent on them for care and this definitely deserves its own post, but the best advice I can give is if you're young, you need to give yourself time to figure out what you want before committing to anything.)

Cis men stop using trans people as meat shields to make your MRA rhetoric seem progressive (impossible)

Literally.....this scrote has the gall to say that acknowledging male violence is transphobia. Trans people are disproportionately VICTIMS of male violence. Yet.....

The fucking audacity of this moid.

Based trans women compilation:

And of course, the damn scrote is pro-SW.

Men who call women SWERFs as an insult can seriously fucking die. I hope you lose your dick in an accident. Yes I'm a SWERF and its based. What are u gonna do abt it? 💅

Of course a trans woman with major moid opinions did pop up. No surprise they're "lesbian". In their defense, I do not know their views on the original post. Pro-SW tho which is trash.

“Men who want to support women in our struggle for freedom and justice should understand that it is not terrifically important to us that they learn to cry; it is important to us that they stop the crimes of violence against us.”

hot take terfs don't exist because radfems wanna eradicate patriarchy and transphobia can correlate with patriarchy so by being transphobic it doesn't relate to rad feminism like literally all we do is criticise gender roles within transgenderism if that makes sense
