TW: rape.

I haven't watched Athlete A yet, I might never, it seems like alot.

But Dr. Nassar clearly became a doctor so he could molest young women and girls. 4 years of college, 4 years of medical school, 6 (?) years of residency. All for his sick goals.

1 year of wearing women's clothing so you can get into the women's shelter where there are vulnerable women and girls would've been a sweet deal to him.

No requirements at all for gender ID? Well...

Their arguments are bullcrap.

I’ve seen some discussions on other platforms and wondered if there was any wider experience of it that anyone would like to share?

Anecdotally, one teacher has noticed that out of the 9 girls in her yr9 160 student cohort who were identifying as Trans Boys, over lockdown, 8 have now desisted. Other teachers/parents/caregivers have given their view and experience of the same phenomenon. Lockdown appears to be resulting in considerable change for those girls once identifying as Trans. We’ve often talked about these instances being within social clusters or having a contagion effect and what might be causing the much higher prevalence of young trans identifying girls.

Does anyone have any experience of what is happening right now with girls desisting that they would like to share? I’m really keen to understand this in more detail, and I appreciate anything that is happening right now is anecdotal.

TIFs are the ones who have been pushing for women to be labeled as “uterus havers”, “pregnant person/people”, “menstraters/period havers” “person with vagina” and “boob havers”, and TIFs were also the ones who got the female symbol to be taken away on that brand of Always, and are wanting pads and tampon packaging to be more gender neutral colors. The demeaning terms pushed on female anatomy and bodily functions are also coming from TIFs, with which the TIMs latch onto and use as well. After all, if TIMs want to push the trans women are women, then they have to say trans men are men, and the TIMs have to go along with the terminology TIFs want, so they aren’t invalidated.

Trust me, I’m not a fan of TIMs, but I can guarantee with all their gender stereotypes and caricature role playing as women, they were probably more than happy to see a female symbol or feminine colors on the packaging for menstrual products, because it probably validated their weird period fetish and make them think “I really am a woman uwu!” And if there is a hell on earth, and uterus transplants can happen to TIMs, you can bet they’ll immediately lash out at being called a “uterus haver” or “pregnant person”. Because that would invalidate their existence, since even they realize pregnancy is something only women can go through.

While the majority of TIMs don’t give a shit about the struggles women go through, TIFs aren’t exactly women’s allies either. Generally they’ve been more quiet than TIMs, but that’s been changing. While everyone was up in arms because of JK Rowling’s tweets, thinking they were automatically against trans women, her tweets were also directed at TIFs. Because TIFs want to pretend that men can have periods, get pregnant and have kids. TIFs are trying to deny the biological reality that only women/females can gestate and give birth to human babies, because of their own dysphoria and hatred for their bodies.

Trust me, being a woman can seriously suck. I can’t think of one woman who’s ecstatic about their bodies and the periods, pregnancy aspect, and the sexism, misogyny, and sexualization we go through. And while TIMs definitely do all they can to try to convince everyone they are no different from women, TIFs are doing all they can to distance themselves from biological reality, and trying to push the derogatory terms against women’s bodies and reproductive organs.

Sorry I rambled, but I just wanted to remind women here that TIMs aren’t necessarily the ones that are pushing for these demeaning terms about female biology. TIFs are just as culpable of it, and are usually the ones who push for these terms first, and TIMs have to go with it, because of trans ideology, and going against it would face serious backlash from the cult.

Pop stars in the '70s were living the lifestyle Epstein dreamed about yet my dreary Gen X friends still lovingly post pics of aging selfster Iggy Pop with great reverence on their feeds.

Raping 13 year olds is ok because.....?

Give me Jello Biafra any day, he's not a rapist hopefully.

Gender Critical Feminism

Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class.

Women are adult human females. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women. We do not condone the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography.

"Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." - Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts
