“Asian countries”- what the ever loving fuck?Research factory farming in the US & get back to us on how Western countries treat animals used for food.

Please, reconsider the phrase “foreign hyena laughter”.

This fish is extremely dead and your critique of “Asian countries” is borderline racist.

I think the fish is beyond suffering. Like, way beyond.

The language of being “socialized” as girls is bullshit propagated by feminists who want to discount the lived experiences of trans women.

YES THEY DO. That is the whole point!! OMG! Have you read anything I’ve said?Cis women are quite literally denied basic human rights (health care, self-defense protection under the law, bodily autonomy, safety from assault, right to sexual consent) specifically because they are cis women! Seriously please read and

I can’t get to your point two though I tried because of my rage at point one. Please explain to me how the fuck you think that cis people chose their biology more than a trans person? Because it sounds really fucking close to you implying that since I was born with a uterus, I could’ve just chosen to be a man

Dang, that’s a real bummer. :/

Eh I’d prefer not. If she wins she beats a 60 year old man but if she loses we wouldnt hear the end of it from the assholes. McEnroe said something to the effect of not being able to beat her, anyway, though.

The problem with this is the idea that cis women are privileged. This is what bothers me the most about this debate. Cis women are being persecuted right now all around the country regarding the closing of health clinics, the denial of reproductive freedom and insurance coverage of BC, the huge recent rise in domestic

This is a pretty solid hallmark of male privilege. And one I’ve discussed with Trans friends. Just because you have known since you were 5 that you are a woman, doesn’t mean society sees you that way -until you come out. Benefitting from privilege is outward facing in, not inward facing out. Society confers on us

“Female” specifically means the sex that can produce eggs/ bear offspring. It is a definition rooted in biology. What term would you use instead?

I had this discussion with a cis gendered gay male friend who is active in the LGBTQIA community and advocacy. Cis-women have been historically controlled through their biology. This is truly a thing that isn’t about transwomen and however awful their struggle is, they will never have to fear a certain serious subset

We Latin Americans come in every color of the rainbow, because the heart wants what the heart wants. Everyone else needs to get over it or mind their business.

This. I am a midwife. Im extremely open to lgtbq+ parents but don’t make me reword my entire website to say “pregnant person” versus “pregnant woman.” It’s just a word.

Yeah, what happened to Love is Love?

I left behind women of many colors when I got married, it’s not exclusive to one group or another. I have cousins who are women who are married to white guys, and does that mean there’s a brown guy left behind somewhere? No, it just means the white dude treated them better and she picked him.

Is there a way to talk about what happens when people benefit from male privilege (as in, others perceive them as male and treat them as such, regardless of their sense of their own gender) during their formative years and then transfer that to feminism after they transition? All women are welcome in feminism, but I

Personally I’m tired of people attacking interracial relationships. I hated when Jill Scott did it several years ago and I hate it now. Because underneath the rant about interracial relationships is the hatred of biracial people. We get it, you don’t think we should exist.

Right? If we can assume that midwives are women, I feel like, as a society, we can assume people giving birth are women. I mean, if you—somehow—run into a man giving birth, just be chill about it. But I don’t think we have to rewrite the entire way we talk about birth to accommodate the statistically insignificant
