Kristin Renata

Host of OurVoices Pod. First time author of maybe possibly one day hopefully a forthcoming memoir about fake orgasms. Your guess is as good as mine.

The final episode. My gift to my loyal and mighty audience - 250k downloads and counting. Mixed orientation marriage is a THING. Much more than you know. Lots of James Hollis quotes in this one. Time to find a new MYTH. Time to find a new WHY.

[OurPathOrg @OurPathOrg]

In this final ep of the OurVoices Podcast, host @K_Kalbli shares wisdom she's accumulated over the last 8 years of producing this podcast, and over a decade of learning and healing from her own experience in a mixed-orientation marriage.

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 Simple, anyone who wishes to be perceived as an adult or has an inner sense that they are an adult is an adult. This is not complicated.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 Gendered social roles are downstream of sex. We are being asked to conceive of trans identifying males as women, aka female, which necessitates the redefining of the words woman/female, but to what, no one seems to know. 🤷‍♀️

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 If a male gorilla doesn’t know or have an internal sense that he is male, or care whether or not he is perceived as male by his family group, is he still male?

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 Identity is irrelevant.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 I reject the subjective fiction that what makes women women has zero to do with our physiology. But then, you already know that. Performative obtuseness is convenient but not convincing.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 So sex is not socially constructed. I’m glad we agree on that.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 This subjective “internal sense” fiction decouples femaleness from the definition of woman. We cannot “opt out” of our femaleness. But you already know this. I reject your premise.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 I’ll take simple for 500, Alex.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 Please explain what is socially constructed about the physiological functions of menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, miscarriage, menopause, female specific conditions like PCOS, uterine or cervical cancer.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 Here’s a parallel: how will my doctor know if I have a particular diagnosis if there are not specific criteria belonging to that diagnosis? I can say, “I want to be seen as a person with cancer,” but that has no bearing on whether or not I have cancer. Except in your view?

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 What characteristics/traits do I have in common with a trans woman that make us both women?

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 You can define it how ever you choose. However, we are being told that we must believe TWAW, and that society needs to be reorganized around this belief, and this linguistic dodge is all that is ever offered as rationale.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@Charles95684721 @jdoyleDoyle1 Batting eyelashes?

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 The question was: what traits or characteristics trans women and women have in common *that make us both women.* How one wants to be seen is not a trait that makes one anything. So I ask again, what are the traits that make women…women.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 If we are female, we call ourselves women, regardless of how we are seen or would like to be seen.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@CareyBrian @rady_aphrodite @jdoyleDoyle1 Are you suggesting that is the only thing that makes one a woman? That’s the only defining characteristic? If not the only characteristic, please name some others.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@Blakesays001 @msediewyatt @GadSaad Where does that information come from?

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

@Blakesays001 @msediewyatt @GadSaad If men didn’t claim to be women in the first place, we wouldn’t be here.

[Kristin Renata @K_Kalbli]

For everyone who would like to roll back the clock to a time before it was ok to be gay & out, I hope you realize you are volunteering yourself, or someone u love, to be in a marriage with a closeted spouse. Are u willing to sacrifice yourself on the altar of your own prejudice?
