@sharrond62 When was the last time you heard about a transvestite being assaulted in the men's room?
Men just do their business and get out.
Hypothetical male-on-male violence is not an issue for women to deal with.
@dansonesson@vansterpartiet Det har funnits säkerhetspersonal utanför judiska skolor i (åtminstone) decennier. Det som är nytt är hur accepterat antisemitism har blivit och att hotbilden har ökat.
@TheVikingDane It's the hypocrisy.
I'm personally against circumcision for babies. I realise that it's done for religious reasons, but if converts can get the snip later in life why can't everyone wait a bit…
@Iovemelo That's right, transwomen aren't women.
They don't even think so themselves, which is particularly obvious when they specify that they want to date women – actual women, not transwomen.
Transwomen are allowed to have a sexual orientation, unlike lesbians.
Listen to this smart woman. It’s why the silent majority is not being heard right now. But history shows us this over & over, yet still we haven’t learnt.
@JunusAnna@VenerablePhoenx The fact that sex and gender are synonymous really adds to the confusion. TRAs will claim that they are wildly different concepts and then conflate them when it's convenient.
Why else would they insist that a gender identity grants access to spaces that are separated by sex?
Bisexuals often lean more or less towards one sex, but it might be as ingrained as homo and hetero.
People generally assume that asexuality equals lack of a sex drive or revulsion towards sex (due to medical and/or psychological reasons). A disinterest in sex is not a sexuality though.
Also, depending on who you ask, asexuality can encompass anything from no sex to lots of sex. You may loathe it or love it. Just another made up and queered, totally incoherent category.
I'm so fucking tired yall.
Lesbians (and gays) have been persecuted for hundreds if not thousands of years because we are exclusively same sex attracted. In many countries we are still criminalized, tortured, raped and murdered bc of it.
But the LGBT- "community", that should have our back, and the Pride-movement that literally was started by and for us, now tell us that exclusive same sex attraction doesn't exist, and if you insist that it does, you're a transphobic bigot.
I thought we had progressed beyond the idea that homosexuality is a sin in the west. I thought it was decided that there's nothing wrong or shameful in being gay/lesbian, and loving only the same sex is completely okay.
If you think lesbians can be into males (regardless of how they identify inside their head), ask yourself this;
Why have society tried, and failed, to force homosexuals into opposite-sex relationships? Why was conversion therapy ever even a thing? Why are gays murdered in other countries for being gay?
If lesbians and gays can be opposite-sex attracted, why don't they find an opposite-sex partner, to escape the persecution that society has commited against us, and still commits against us outside of the west?
As a lesbian, I know the answer; homosexuals are NOT opposite-sex attracted, and that's exactly why we are persecuted and an oppressed minority.
It's literally impossible for us to be sexually attracted to the opposite sex, and thousands, if not millions, of gays and lesbians have been abused, criminalized and murdered bc of it.
So when you get on twitter and spout lies like "lesbians can like dick" and "gay men can like pussy", you are spitting every gay and lesbian person who has suffered persecution, right in the face.
You can colonize our language, steal and redefine our words, shame us into silence and label us terfs. Homosexual men and women, ACTUAL gays and lesbians, will continue to exist. But fuck you for setting us back decades in the fight for gay/lesbian acceptance.
You are the new conversion therapists.
@FreyjaBakke Having mental health issues should not be a universal get out of jail free card. That's assuming he has mental health problems, besides from being consumed by his fetish.
Lock him up and throw away the key.
Women and girls are individual female human beings, not anyone’s performance of femininity.
“Femininity” does not define women or girls. The social expectations, projections, aesthetics, and behavioral codes imposed on female people do not define women or girls. These expectations are subjective, culturally unstable, heavily commercialized, and always shaped by sexism.
A human performance is not a human being. Defining any individual or class of human beings as a performance interpreted by others is profoundly dehumanizing. The conceit that any man, or any class of men, possesses such special insight into the inner reality of female human beings that his imitation or performance can reveal the essence of women is not merely absurd; it is offensive.
To define women by “feminine expression” or role is to reduce female human beings to costume, mannerism, or stereotype, while reinforcing narrow ideas about what is definitively “feminine” and expected of women and girls. That is dehumanizing. It treats women as products of perception rather than as actual people. Women are not characters performed by others. They are not social scripts. They are not roles available for adoption.
Women are not constructed by society. Sexist societies construct stereotypes about women. The more sexist the society, the more aggressively women are reduced to those stereotypes, as if they are innate to her essential humanity, and deservedly punished for noncompliance.
Widespread stereotypes do not become morally meaningful, academically definitive, or universally true just because they are common. Sexism is common. A woman in a patriarchal society is not a different kind of human being from a woman in a freer society. The difference is not her nature, but the degree of oppression imposed: the discrimination, humiliation, coercion, and loss of opportunity inflicted on human beings for being female.
Being female is a human condition. A woman’s humanity is not conditional on her acceptable performance of femininity. The real moral test of a society is whether women and girls are recognized as fully human and equal in dignity to men and boys, while also recognizing their distinct sex as an innate and immutable human condition.
Human beings come before human beliefs about human beings.
Female comes before feminine.
Sex comes before gender.
Women and girls come before society.
There is no femininity, gender, or society that precedes the existence of human females. It is all derivative. Sex is essentially human. Being female is one way of being human.
The human being comes first. Social narratives come later. Male and female are human conditions, not identities conferred by stereotypical associations and fallible perception. “Femininity,” “womanhood,” “girlhood,” and similar abstractions are interpretations, prescriptions, and expectations imposed on people; they are not the people themselves. They are projections about what women and girls are expected to do in male-dominated societies, not descriptions of what women and girls are: human beings equal to men and boys, distinguished by sex.
Women are not a set of instructions predicated on pre-approved socially constructed traits. We are not a sex object, appearance, affect, clothing style, marketing category, LARPing option, or human performance. We are human beings of the female sex. As individuals, we are as varied in personality, interests, conduct, and capacity as men and boys.
A woman is an adult female human being. A girl is a juvenile female human being.
Everything else is stereotype, ideology, marketing, or submission to sexist framing.
I long for a time when fetishes were kept underground instead of mainstreamed. It's fine to practice fetishes, as long as they're legal – just don't involve the general public. We don't need to know and would often prefer not to.
Also, part of the fun with fetishes is that they're a bit taboo, no…? That disappears when it's out in the open.
