all of these neo-genders get described as “nebulous”, “ethereal”, “fuzzy”, “boundless”, and generally hard to define, describe, and explain because they’re FAKE. they’re NOT REAL. your gender is hard to describe because you’re trying to attribute a gender to your feelings.

“gender is hard to talk about”, sure, i’ll give you that sometimes, but a woman is an adult human female and a man is an adult human male and that’s all there is to it.

We get it, you hate other people

There are other groups who equate not subscribing to their unfalsifiable beliefs to “hatred” too. 

Here’s the thing tho, the only time you’re likely going to see niche gender identities are the dark corners of the internet. Go outside. Accept that gender is a preformance, and that there is no self. Be an adult. Move the fuck on.

UNLESS you are so insecure in your own identity that anyone being happy with themselves offends you. So much so that you HAVE to make a blog dedicated to how the TRAs are the harbingers of death to Womynhood. Because If anyone can be a woman, than, what are you? What do you have that no one else has?

Nothing.

. Because If anyone can be a woman, than, what are you? What do you have that no one else has? Nothing.

Like, how can you be so close to seeing the problem and then miss it by a mile. What happens with TRAs is they systematically silence any language women have to describe ourselves and our position in society in order to make themselves, men, the center of attention. Like they are everywhere else. 

And people with these niche internet identities? They’re still out there vigilantly attempting to silence any opposition to enshrining their gender nonsense into law which, again, is detrimental to women especially. 

Cause when shit spills out off of the internet into this:

We have a fucking problem. 

Hey I can do that too!

Aren’t random, out of context photos fun? :)))))))))))))

Also I adore the fact that you agree that you’re insecure. Tragic.

Why do you people always think Femen has anything to do with radical feminists? It was founded by a man who carefully vets attractive women to be part of their performance. 

So that’s two of those images down.

The first one… what’s wrong with it? 

The first Radkatherineee art you posted is a response to the responses to her satiric witchcraft one, and the bloody shirt one is a response to this:

So I’ve got: Two masked men with a dog intimidating women at the trial of Tanis Wolf, of the three men seen beating up Maria McLachlan at Speaker’s Corner in that last gif I posted. Vandalism of the Vancouver Women’s Library by TRAs who were angry pretty much that it existed. And men carrying baseball bats to the Dyke March. 

And you’ve got… an image of French women protesting. Two images of Femen which is a group founded by a man who chooses attractive women to run around topless for shock value. And some drawings that are a direct response to things TRAs do and say.

So how are TRAs not a tangible, real-world threat and the whole niche gender identity trend not shielding and fueling them?

How desperate and receipt-less you have to be to compare comics to men with bats on the middle of the street

They can’t tell the difference between fiction and reality

terfs stop calling yourselves lesbians challenge

You know lesbian isn’t a special club for only people you consider nice enough. It’s actually homophobic to imply that we can just stop being lesbian, like it’s done birthday party you can not invite us to.

first of all: i’m a fucking lesbian myself, don’t tell me i’m being homophobic

second of all: lesbianism inherently implies you respect and admire women and womanhood in all its diversity, not just the women who conform to some arbitrary standard of what constitutes a woman. reducing women down to their genitalia and judging them based on that isn’t being a lesbian. find a new word for it, you aren’t welcome to use ours anymore

Lesbianism is a sexual orientation not a political belief you homophobe

Does every sexuality come complete with a set of moral beliefs, OP, or are only lesbians expected to adhere to your ridiculous standards?

OP if your “respect and admiration” of women means wanting to suck a ~*ladydick*~ then you’re literally the furthest thing from a lesbian that a person can get. Lesbians don’t like dicks. Lesbians don’t have dicks. Therefor, you’re not a lesbian. Not that hard to understand. Die mad about it. Stop playing dress up in a culture and identity that you don’t belong in like the homophobe you are, and go worship the vile men in dresses you so clearly love.

sci-universe:

“Can you guide a spacecraft into orbit around Mars and cook for eight
people morning and night? Yes, if you get up at 5am, and your name is BP
Dakshayani. Here the former head of flight dynamics and space
navigation for the Indian space agency explains how she did it – and the
housework too.“

I’m very glad to see this hard-working space engineer being recognized in a BBC’s story by Geeta Pandey.

 


“They became known as the Rocket Women or the Women from Mars. Four years
ago, the picture of a group of women in saris celebrating as an Indian
spacecraft successfully entered Mars orbit shone a light on the role
played by women in the country’s space programme – among them BP
Dakshayani.”

“She led the team that kept an eye on the satellite, telling it
exactly where to go, and ensuring that it did not deviate from its path.

One
of her colleagues (also female) described the task as like hitting a
golf ball in India and expecting it to go into a hole in Los Angeles  – a
hole, moreover, that was constantly moving.

It was a tough job
made tougher by the responsibilities of an Indian wife. But her strength
of will had become obvious many years earlier, when the girl from a
“quite traditional, conservative and orthodox” family set her sights on a
career in science.”

People talking about or even mentioning women changing their diet to “taste better” for potential sex partners turns my stomach. Is there any aspect of the natural female state that’s safe from dissection and critique? Is anything about us good enough or are we destined to constantly surveil ourselves and treat our bodies and womanhood as a constant project to be “fixed” and “improved” to make us (literally & figuratively) more palatable to others (ie Men). If someone can’t handle the way pussy tastes and needs their partner to try to “fix” their natural state then they’re weak, probably shit at sex tbh, and don’t deserve to be going down on anyone. Ariana is right- pussy is a privilege!!

I get really confused when americans, when talking about universal health care are like ‘yeh but it’s not free sweaty 🙂 🙂 you have to pay it through taxes 🙂 so gotcha!!’

and I’m like ….???? That’s the whole point??? Everyone pays their fair share so that no one has to be turned away because they don’t have insurance??? And no one has to set up a Fundraiser page just so that they DONT DIE???? So people don’t put off going to the doctor because they’re scared of going bankrupt?? Because healthcare is a RIGHT and should be free at the point of access?!?

“So no one has to be turned away” she says hahaha go to a universal health care country and get a necessary operation in less than a few years and come back and talk shit.

Look at the cure rates compared to mortality rates in universal health care countries and compare them to ours, then talk shit.

Tear your ACL in a universal health care country and see what the people say if you should go to their hospitals or go to an American hospital, then talk shit.

2010. I’d been feeling a bit ill. Work was going nuts, so I figured it was stress.  Pretty good call considering a week later work fired their entire IT department (of which I was part).    

But then I got sicker.  And it turned out I had cancer.

Burkitt’s lymphoma, stage 4a. It had spread into my brain and spinal column. 90% cure rate, but I needed nine months of chemo – and not the outpatient chemo, nope, talking multiple week stays per round of the magrath protocol.  Drugs were about 10k an IV bag.  I was unemployed.  And there were complications.

Thankfully I live in a country with universal healthcare.   And it didn’t cost me a goddamn cent to save my life.  I’m now officially past the five year mark to move me from “remission” to “Cured”.

I’ve lived in a universal healthcare country my entire life. And I’ve seen the US system in action.  Your system is fucked. Straight up fucked. You’ve got fucking Dickensian shit going on there, people dying on streets from preventable causes or ending up broke for breaking a hip.   Your health insurance companies have you by the balls and people like you are begging them to squeeze harder.  What the actual fuck is wrong with you? 

“But but but TAXESSSSSSSSS”

yeah no shit. That story above? Happened when I was 32.  I’d spent 14 years of my life paying those fucking taxes that funded the system that saved my life.    And guess what?   Now I’m cured, I’m…Back..at work..And have been for several years…earning waaaay more money and paying back into the system.

This shit doesn’t exist in a vacuum, dickhead.  You’re not feeding some imaginary pack of leeches, you’re paying forward on your own damned healthcare so you don’t have to argue with an insurance company while trying to heal. 

i also don’t get why americans can’t wrap their heads around the fact that universal healthcare is actually cheaper

like yeah your taxes might go up (hell, take a chunk out of the military budget, they might not even change) but you won’t have to pay ridiculous health insurance premiums. it’s a net saving, dumbasses. 

Also I care about people that aren’t me
