It’s one of my life goals to educate people on the complexity of this issue, because you hear one of two stories, either “hey suffragists were racist!” or “hey they got everyone the right to vote!”
In reality, the Seneca Falls wave of suffragists were early supporters of extending the vote to black men, as well as…

A Hole Vera

You mean the hole in her chest where her heart should be?

TERFs also like to play victim at the same time as attacking transwomen I’ve noticed.

Some have zero problem with breaking out “tranny” against trans women. Some will use less loaded terms, but the message is the same.

So... rape threats and death threats against lowly vagina-havers are now the height of feminism and progressivism...

Somehow, the part of this article that’s making me even madder is “TERF is a slur”. Is an acronym of an accurate description for a group of people really a slur? 

TERFs are freaking scary towards trans women. It’s horrifying how nasty they are. And they go from zero to sixty in about five seconds.

TERFs are Nazis and deserve a foot up their asses

trans-exclusionary radical feminists who do not believe that the rights of trans people should be included in discussions of women’s rights

You’re not wrong. Just look at that shitty post about Mister Roger’s the other day that said he was “troubling” because of how he handled having a gay crewmember on his show in the 70's and 80's (he kept him on but told him for his sake that he should not frequent gay bars anymore as people would notice). By today’s…

This criticism is... off. I suppose biology also could’ve driven home the point by making Brandon Teena AMAB. Trans men, by definition, are AFAB. The difference between a trans man and a “woman dressing up like a boy” is strictly interior to the individual. It’s not visible to the human eye. It’s oddly self-defeating…

From what I understand, Brandon had not done any hormone treatment. Trans men that are pre-hormones, or elect to not take hormones live with more vulnerability. The more androgynous your features, like Swank, the more you can read ‘male’, but there is still a fragility to those that, like Brandon, are living ‘stealth’.…

I would really like to stress that in 1997 this movie was completely groundbreaking in how it dealt with Brandon’s death and story. Hillary Swank was known, but not well known. For the time, this was a huge risk for any actor. To judge how people handled it back then by today’s standards isn’t really fair, and it does…

I’ve seen it. And, I think the movie falls into the same trap that The Village Voice piece did.

I think the idea was for the actor playing the role to resemble Teena. Hilary Swank did an astounding job and I think the role could have been played by either a trans man or a cis woman, but not by a cis man.

I wonder if these people realize how much they sound like mras.

No, trans women are not “still a guy” on the inside, regardless of how they behave. In fact, they were never a guy, not even on the inside. You don’t get to dismiss other people’s genders based on your own personal stereotypes and understanding of gender.

And you know what’s categorically more dangerous than trans…

What a surprise, women having to move out of their own spaces that were granted FOR A REASON, because people with penises demand it is so

That’s exactly what you’re doing. You’re playing the fucking rape card to excuse your oppression other women and victims of rape, so actually, fuck you. I have no patience for this bullshit.
