You Shouldn’t Have To Be Trans To Get Any Sex Characteristic-related Surgery. It’s Not A Limited

i believe in gender abolition too, i wonder if our views would mostly align. have you any experience with transition? to be candid, i've transitioned socially and hormonally to male and always found myself unable to make transgender friends until i realised that it was the ideology i was unable to relate to, that it's pretty much a requirement to befriend these people. i'm mostly interested in gender as a broad topic, not just transgenderism, and it's obvious relation to sex and similar topics like sex-based oppression. my views and values also align pretty massively with radical feminism. what in particular would you want to talk about? i'm passionate about women's reproductive rights and despise pornography with every fibre of my being, to name a couple topics.

Please.

I need someone to debate about gender with

Send me an ask or a reblog about your opinion regarding gender and feminism, anything.

The Connection Between PTSD and the Menopausal Transition

but what about MEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!????????????

“But what about trans women” is just “not all men” for liberals

reminder that lesbians are NOT more violent than men and we don't have the highest domestic violence rates. i wish people (mostly men) would stop deliberately misconstruing this

You don't see "fuçk Trans" mugs anywhere.

It's a hate movement against women.

You fuçk off and leave our sex alone. It isn't yours.

sometimes i think if i had access to female-exclusive spaces and was able to make meaningful connections with other girls/women (depending on my age at the time) that i wouldn't have transitioned.. bcs i'm gonna be real i really don't get along with men. and being in male social circles is just weird and uncomfortable and i don't think they're funny or interesting or all that likeable at all. i also miss the bathroom not reeking of piss and hearing old men moan when they pee (why do they do that?).

So I've just had a thought, and bare with me because I'm aware that this could be a reach lmao.

So it's already been brought up in radblr how the Karen meme has gone too far and demonizes women for asserting themselves and demonizes women for being middle aged, and god forbid a woman is middle aged and asserts herself!

But I was thinking about the stereotypical "Karen" haircut, which is like this:

and it make me think, of course the stereotypical "Karen" haircut is a short and practical haircut, not long beautiful tresses or something that's conventionally attractive and seen as beautiful to men. So the Karen meme not only demonizes women for daring to assert themsevles / be middle aged instead of young and naive, but it's also demonizing women for daring to have short practical haircuts instead of long beautiful tresses that follow typical patriarchal beauty standards.

Like I've seen comments on instagram of girls and women who previously hair long hair getting it cut into a pixie or bob and people, usually boys and men, commenting "Karen haircut lmao" or "future Karen in the making" just on normal and practical looking bobs and pixie cuts, and then this leads to the girls and women I've heard saying they want to get a bob or a pixie cut but "don't want to look like a Karen" so they keep their conventionally attractive long locks.

I'm willing to entertain the idea that the Karen meme started as a reasonable way for retail employees to vent about the abuse they get from customers, however either way now women are getting called Karens just for existing past the age of 30, or just for asserting themselves when it's reasonable and called for to assert yourself, or in this case just for daring to have short and practical haircuts. Besides, I've been working in food service and retail for the better part of a decade now and my worst customers are always men. Male customers will regularly get violent and genuinely make me afraid for my safety. Meanwhile when female customers are bad usually the worst they do is be snippy and make me feel bad about myself. Which isn't nearly the same as genuinely making me feel unsafe. And also, the worst female customers I get are often teenage girls and young women who are closely following conventional beauty standards including having long hair.
