Yeah, well, you choose your weariness. Women don’t.

those pesky women, daring to insist that there is a biological reality at the core of their oppression.

How about having a kid who doesn’t mutilate their body in the pursuit of something they can never have?

It is the EXPECTATION that girls will give birth that makes us female, whether or not we ever actually fulfill that expectation. No person born with testicles has ever been expected to give birth.

A minscule number of women may be driven by disdain and fear of trans people and it seems you’re not interested in the reality which is that the majority of feminists are gender critical ; if we accept that transwomen ARE women we are conceding to the ancient notion of man minds and lady brains aka genderism. You’re…

You should. Many girls , especially if they are lesbians and /or butch, are pressured into becoming trans or else . I know one who transitioned at 14 and at 18 detrantitioned but her body is permanently modified , the t she took also caused her a heart condition . But she can not talk about that because she is called…

Yes! This is an interesting conversation. I don’t like to wear dresses, heels, or makeup, I don’t like to shave my legs, etc. And I don’t know if it’s just hard to describe what being trans feels like, but it is frequently described as not fitting “traditional gender roles” like that. Which occassionally gives me…

It isn’t unholy. It is SANE. I’m center left my entire life and that has never changed. Trans rights are not womens rights. They are separate issues.

Could you please refer me to a point in human history in which “people with penises” were giving birth? The planet you live on sounds fascinating. 

People are different. “I used to be a boy” is the way I generally frame my own transness. I know where I came from.

No, those are reasonable people who understand the implications of allowing people who are biologically men to compete with women. 

Yeah, it’s ridiculous to attack women for talking about their vaginas or sex organs. We’ve earned that right.

Well, my point is that the acronym TERF has been completely removed from the actual components, AKA trans-exclusive radical feminism. All those women in pussy hats at the Women’s March were not radical feminists. Mike Pence is not a radical feminist, or a feminist at all. Words have meanings! And when we use the word…

I am all for growing up in a world where we embrace diversity...or at the very least, one in which we do not attempt to persecute anyone based upon its perception. But when it comes to effeminate boys who probably would have grown up to be gay men, or butch girls who most likely would have identified as lesbians...I…

I worry about my daughter, who adults a generation ago would simply consider a “tomboy,” and how she hears / interprets the messages she’s bombarded with today that might negatively affect her perception of herself and gender.  At her age she could be easily manipulated, preyed up or confused by those with agenda’s…

My problem with the phrase “TERF” is that it has been applied so broadly and erroneously in the past few years that it has basically lost all meaning. When you call everyone who wore a pussy hat to their women’s march a TERF or dismiss anything focusing specifically on reproductive rights/menstruation/abortion TERF-y,…

If I invite you to my house for a free meal, and the first thing you do is try to commandeer the grill because you assume I’m incompetent at the one task required for that meal, you can kindly hit the bricks.

Also, I just think there is something to being raised as a girl, being fed messages of lack of agency and purity and enforced weakness.  

Does it really need to be a TERF stance to want safe places for uterined people to be together?  Are we being hysterical? (pun intended)

It would be great if for once when reporting on this Jezebel would acknowledge the complexity of the issue, namely what is a “woman” and what is a “man” and how do you deal with outliers, in the sport. It is not an easy subject to approach or deal with, but you must do it if you want to preserve women’s sports/women…
