I'm actually comfortable in this pit you put me in. I like it in here and I will resist any attempt made to rescue me. I'm happy with the scraps you feed me and I don't mind how sick I'm getting.
A cervical cancer charity (JoTrust) has the term "bonus hole" in their official glossary.
anti-radfems fighting the radfems that say women are inherently feminine and men are naturally abusive towards women (they don't exist they're fighting the air)
People be like, “Oh, you’re reducing womanhood to just having a vagina.”
And I’m like... yeah....
The fact I was born with a vulva was the entire baseline of the sexism I faced growing up and still face every day.
It’s not some abstract identity or feeling. It’s the brutal, physical reality that shaped how the world treated me from day one.
So don’t tell me womanhood isn’t tied to the body when that body has been the frontline of every fight I’ve had to survive.
I love my body, if I’m being honest: Like, thank you for carrying me through all this kind of love.
But it’s also just a body. It’s weird. It leaks. It gets sore. It’s lopsided and unpredictable at times, my back hurts a lot.
Because it’s human, my vessel, not my whole story.
But unfortunately, outside factors have tried to disrupt that and tried to make me distrust this body.
Tried to convince me it was too much, too little, too wrong, too dangerous, too female.
They taught me to flinch at my reflection and to see my body as something to fix, cover, offer, or hide.
All because I have a vulva.
A vagina.
Labia.
Ovaries.
A uterus.
Tubes.
Mammary glands.
That’s all it took.
Not my words. Not my thoughts. Not my heart or how I treat people.
Just the fact that I was born in this body with these parts and suddenly the world decided what I deserved.
Pain. Shame. Control. Violation. Comparison. Dismissal.
They built entire systems to punish me for being born with organs I didn’t choose.
And then had the audacity to tell me I was reducing womanhood by naming the body they’ve spent centuries trying to control.
So yeah I’m a woman because I have a vagina.
Deal with it 💋
Why do we have to share a planet with these things.
Hell's bells, the amount of privilege you have to have to admit to being a rapist on camera while maintaining your position as one of the most beloved athletes and admired individuals of all time over several decades...is not an inconsiderable amount of privilege, folks, even in a patriarchy.
they say they love insects but they hate wasps and mosquitoes
why are you as an adult open-mouth coughing all over the place
idk y’all should treat fat men better. and i don’t mean mildly chubby guys i mean honest-to-god love-handles-and-double-chins fat guys. stop calling them shit like discord mods or gross weebs or nasty creeps or neckbeards or that they’re stinky or sweaty or beer bellied or whatever else. fatphobia isn’t cute, even repackaged in a neat little box of “ew men”
That’s a woman with short hair, calm down
"...who want nothing from you..."
But, they want everything from you. They want unrestricted unquestioned access to exclusive female & gay male spaces... they want to control how others refer to & perceive them... they want complete commodification of the language on how we talk about biological sex... and they want silence, punishment, & ostracisation for those who disagree with them in any capacity.
Of course we can empathise with the trans struggle & be respectful of medial things like an individual's pronouns & making sure all people have a seat at the metaphorical table, but when we're called "transphobic" or "fascist" for saying biological sex is real, women face sex-based oppression, and that lesbians & gay men aren't interested in the opposite sex, my respect has its limits. You will not run around screaming transphobia while being misogynistic & homophobic at the same time.
