There are drag queen who definitely take things out of proportion but for the most part of what I’ve seen a lot of gay men who do drag struggle with gender dysphoria and use drag as an outlet to express that side of them .
Drag is very much an art form that anyone can participate in , it is not exclusive to gay men
For many gay men drag is more of an alter ego sort of thing because they do not go by women and make jokes while in drag about not being women
There is misogyny in the gay community but it is important to remember that a small group of bad people does not identify a whole community
Any good drag queen knows they got everything from a women, style, makeup, music everything
Of course there are drag queen who are misogynistic because there will always be men everywhere that are misogynistic
I don’t think many people are out here assuming women are acting how those obscene drag queens act plus in general as someone who has gone to drag shows and is active in the drag community a lot of those “drag queens” are very much outcasted
They definitely deserve to get hated on and removed of their platforms
What do y’all think?
It's weird that men do drag to make fun of gender but the gender they make fun of is......women? Wouldn't it make more sense to make fun of hyper-masculinist gender roles that marginalize gay men- wearing big fake muscles and acting like an egoic idiot? Having skits about men getting their ego bruised by irrelevant bullshit? Fighting over nonsense? Being pigs? People will be like, "Well, Drag Kings exist". First of all, I don't even think Drag Kings parody and lampoon masculinity the way drag queens do feminity. I haven't seen many drag kings (they're damn near non-existent/invisible) but when I do, it's never them acting like clown men. The portrayal seems..... reverent. There are some reverent Drag Queens too, like some queens would do a character like Beyonce or Diana Ross with great respect. But there also exists A LOT of clownery: drag characters as slutty, airhead, bimbos, with their abortions and tampons hanging out, making blow job face- that kinda thing. What a coincidence this portrayal of feminity is more popular/has more cultural influence than Drag Kings and that making fun of "gender" has manifested in just...relentlessly shitting on women. Surprise surprise.
Seeing clips of the Lily Phillips interview was truly heart breaking and only reinforces the fact that sex work especially prostitution will never be liberating and only further damages a woman’s mental health and body
For context for anyone who doesn’t know
Lily Phillips was originally only an only fans star but recently slept with 100 men in one go, for free, and filmed it.
In the interview towards the end you see her begin to cry, dissociate, and not even be able to describe how she feels
One thing that really stuck out to me is that she says she felt bad for not being able to fully please all the men and that made it all click for me that she did all of this to feel male validation and got more than what she bargained for.
To punish herself and “put”herself through such an intense trauma makes me feel like the people in her life took advantage of her vulnerability and her wanting to please and exploited it
A tale as old as time
I Can’t stand the people saying that she asked for it or that it’s her fault because she set it up when it’s very obvious she is not in the correct headspace to do things like that, no one is, I really see things like this as a form of self harm and punishment
I really hope she is able to get the help she needs and is able to safely leave the sex industry(slavery)
Trans women may not have struggled to the degree as women but you have to acknowledge there was a point in time where a transwomen would be killed and nothing was done about it and were subject to deadly hate crimes.
Acknowledging that transwomen have struggles doesn’t take away from women’s struggle even if it has not been to the degree women have
White women absolutely have privilege because of their race and there are some who see women as color as non human and below them in every aspect.
And I didn’t say I chose anyone, it’s a fact that not all trans women are after women and it’s a fact that not all white women actually care about what happens to women of color
Saying that white women are scared of you ain’t a flex, they are scared of you because they see you are threat because of your race and that has lead to the death of many black women, a white women will absolutely deny your humanity because that’s what they have done to black women and native women,
I fight for all women’s rights however white women do not do the same
I've seen your profile and I couldn't be more surprised on how you're the only rad leaning feminist that I can agree
You are educated, you are nice with the others and I really appreciate how you handle all this harrassment, they call you a TRA or worse stuff, some even go down to throw misogynistic slurs and speak at you, just because you are nice with trans people
I think is that you're not white and not from west and being a sister not from Europe or north america i can agree we both have different views on trans people than the people there, we are more accepting and aware on how they are (I'm from latin america btw)
I do agree by a lot with your points
thank you if you read that
😭😭 I’m so glad you found my profile!!
I’m from Latin America as well and come form a tribe that is a direct descendant of the Mayans
I have gotten very hateful comments especially about my culture which was very odd to me since we live in peace and are able to coexist and some radfems here have the audacity to say my culture is wrong just because I don’t see trans people as a threat to women because in my community they never have been
It is very sad that they insult me and degrade me and tell me I have no self respect which is the exact same thing men say to me to insult me
One thing I have learned is that white women will never be women of colors allies, never have been never will be, and I’m assuming most of the women spewing hate speech at me are white women who lack any cultural context and don’t bother to educate themselves or listen to what non white women have to say. They have a very “im right and your wrong” mindset
I’m glad to meet someone like minded and I hope my blog continues to reach more people like you
Much love 💖🫶
I agree completely with this post
What do y’all think?
⭐️Edit⭐️
I am not threatened or feel at danger with transwomen because I am secure in my womanhood and see a future for myself without misogyny,
If a cis man wants to enter women’s restrooms to prey on women he will, many of these predators just use being trans as an excuse to be in women’s restrooms without actually being trans
I think saying that any choice a women makes is based on how misogyny has effected her and how women will never truly have free will is like submitting to misogyny and accepting “fate”
Any woman who truly believes that women can do no wrong and so wrong it baffles me
If somehow you haven’t seen by now, while the Super Bowl is being aired, Israel is striking Rafah.
The people of Palestine had been told to go there, they were promised it was safe.
And while this is happening, even though earlier several tags on Palestine were trending, only one or two are now.
I haven’t written any posts personally on Palestine myself. I didn’t feel I had anything to add here aside from reblogging and boosting whatever I can but please. We can’t forget Palestine or its people especially now.
This has gone on too long and gone much much too far MANY times and now is when we need to push harder.
Many of the heads of Western countries are either beating around the bush and wasting time, or outright denying the things the Palestinian people don’t have the privilege to ignore. They don’t have the choice to look away from their pain, or the pain of friends, family, neighbors, their country. And even through all of this they’re still trying their damn hardest just to live. And we all need to listen.
So now, especially if you live in a western country like I do, now we step it up a notch. Now is the time if you haven’t already to read up on Palestinian history. Listen to what the people of Palestine are saying. Hold firm on the boycott like never before. Any and every way you can donate, do it. eSIMs, aid, anything that will reach. Save as much evidence as you can. Videos, articles. Don’t let Zionists pretend all of this never happened.
Even if you think there’s nothing you can do, I’m telling you, keep going. Even if you feel you can only give a little, if we all give a little together it becomes much more.
Hit imperialism where it hurts. In the wallet. Follow the BDS instructions, find protests in your area if you can, boost as much information about Palestine as you can find, call your reps, and do not lose hope. The people of Palestine are not dead. They are holding on even through all this and we all owe it to them to do the same.
A Free Palestine will happen in our lifetimes. But it will be hard fought. So go out there and fight hard! The governments can’t hide from their own people forever. The companies can’t bleed cash forever. The people will win. So push until we do. Do not look away. Free Palestine
1 ) there are definitely a lot of men who view sex this way and sex has been used to oppress us and exploit us, however it’s just hard to believe that there isn’t a single man out there who doesn’t have sex for love
2) i completely agree with this statement and It’s actually the main reasons i don’t like liberal feminism
3) i do find a lot of rad fem of color on the Internet this was just something that I’ve seen hair a lot of course not just in this community but in many others to
4) I’m not trans so i don’t know what it’s like, I do imagine it’s linked to gender and body dysmorphia, however in my culture trans gender people have existed for hundreds of years, they have been treated almost like a third gender and are considered two spirited
5) i absolutely agree with your last statement , gender roles have definitely been put in place to oppress us and to make us appear as the weaker sex
My take on “radical feminism” that nobody asked for
I myself consider myself leaning very into radical feminism but I see that terf ideologies seem to get mixed in more often than not (wanna make it clear I support trans rights)
1. A lot of rad fems think that all heterosexual sex is rape which is such an insane thing to do and implies that women do not have the power or capacity to consent to heterosexual sex
2. I do agree that we as woman will never find liberation through sex or sex work however rad fems do not realize that a lot of women fall into sex work and can not simply quit, I do not support the sex work industry but I support sex workers
3. To me it seems a lot of white women have overshadowed the movement and only mention woc when it’s used as an aha! moment against men and not with the intention of actually helping
4. Extreme transphobia, the main idea is that trans women rape women’s body’s and appropriating the body, my conflict with this is women are not their bodies and trans women have always felt like women since birth is the biological aspect that’s the problem
5. A lot of rad fems think a women choosing a certain lifestyle or religion is oppressive which again perpetuates the idea that women can not make a choice without a man or patriarchal idea being involved or a sense of brain washing
I think a lot of rad fems have lost sense of the movement and more times than often make themselves appear victim like and in a constant state of martyrdom, yes we women have suffered and continue to suffer and be oppressed but we can not let this weight break us down and make us point fingers at people (trans women and women who choose religion or certain life styles) who are not the root cause of our suffering
Please let me know your thoughts
So glad we can come to a good conclusion 🫶🫶💗 much love and may peace be with you always💖

Did anyone else notice they made Farrah taller in mw3?
She used to be at Prices and Alex’s shoulders and now she reaches half their head
My culture is not wrong, that was an insane thing to say especially when we can all co exist without issues, trans men, trans women, women, and men.
We don’t view gender as just biology so I am disconnected from patriarchal views on gender and sex
I suggest everyone takes a look at her tik tok
I love the way she does not bullshit or cut corners when it comes to talking about issues in the trans community
What do y’all think?
Who’s gonna take one for the team and write a peaky boy x reader fic based off that hozier song too sweet?
