lesbian maverick, feminist extremist | read my gf's book Detransition: Beyond Before & After (it's at the library!)

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

This was the book that raised my consciousness on surrogacy. I had a vague idea of it as bad - this and Broken Bonds really opened my eyes.

The second edition of Renate Klein's book Surrogacy: A Human Rights Violation has been released, complete with a new preface. You can start reading it here https://t.co/7xLPl9hr2M

My partner & I both have pieces in this!

i’m not reading an essay that opens with this lol

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

@ununitedstates I don’t think trans women are uniquely dangerous. The problem is male violence, which exists everywhere there are male people. Predators use the rhetoric of their social circle.

@ununitedstates Social consequence is being used as a euphemism here for behavior that goes far beyond disagreement. Job loss, friend group loss, legal harassment, & also just kinda crazy amounts of cruelty. And I do know everyone is cruel & radfems also behave in ways I don’t agree with

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

@ununitedstates GNC people will do their best & use the restroom that causes the least internal/external friction. Sexual predators will try to predate within available frameworks. I really do believe in state funded widely available, safe single stalls with adult changing stations included

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

@ununitedstates Sex segregated bathing & bathroom facilities are necessary to prevent rape. It’s among the top priorities when the UN does disaster response. I first read about this in Invisible Women by Caroline Criado Perez. Overall, I’m just not super interested in arguing about bathrooms

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

@ununitedstates No, it’s not segregation. What I’m talking about is opt-in separatism, which all oppressed groups have a moral right to. Being able to go to a group that is all lesbians doesn’t mean that I don’t believe mixed sex/sexuality groups, events & services should exist

@ununitedstates I am a single issue voter & that issue is abortion & I am not ok with right drift in feminist spaces. Here’s a printable trifold brochure I was part of the development & sharing of at women’s events where this is a problem.

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

@dire_thorn so like what kind of experience… what exactly are we saying here…

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

@unbrotherlylove reading something you disagree with

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

@himewarlock @glitchygutz So wait zoomers call people Hitler when they’re NOT freaking out? I have so much to learn from the average xitter user

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

@ununitedstates Women & lesbians having their own spaces isn’t segregating! That’s a really inappropriate use of that term. I’m not against general LGBTQ spaces or women/lesbian groups that also use more expansive definitions that I disagree with. What if we coexisted… :) and why can’t we!

[Kitty @Exacerbati]

@daveislame @himewarlock Statements from two trans men who were assaulted by Erlick in this post, go take it up with them if you don’t believe them.

@glitchygutz @himewarlock Yeah I thought that was really funny too
