yknow ive been thinking a lot abt that post where that trans woman talked about binding her feet to make them smaller and less male-appearing and it really just made me realize that the reason trans women define their womanhood through femininity is because femininity is all men think we are. males forced us into femininity and now they have no idea who or what a woman is outside of this structure. they think that women are only the things theyve given to us and nothing else, that women are man-made. they cannot fathom that we are whole people and that we have qualities we’ve cultivated ourselves, independent of the oppressive sterotypes theyve shackled us to.
“i didn’t have time to read the project so I’ll vote against it”
“chimpanzees don’t do it so why would we?”
the whole world watched as the argentinian government, mostly composed of white high classed catholic people who can’t separate their personal beliefs from a public health problem in the society, shitted on the lives of women, doomed them to the hypocrisy and darkness of clandestine abortion, today is the same as yesterday, the rich women will pay fortunes in private clinics, the poor will die.
today, “pro-life” supporters rejoice on the death of the women. Today patriarchy, misogyny and ignorance may have won in Argentina.
But the future does not belong to you
we grow stronger everyday, we will not be silence anymore.
