I probably don't like you very much |
It's not you, it's me. It's not me, it's systems of oppression. Ok, it's you. Oh, and I am Karen Smith of Tumblr. |
Liberal Feminist Problems:
#42: Radfems using their great institutional power to deny all your rights to choose whenever they critique choices that are in line with patriarchal mandates, or analyze how “choice” is severely shaped/limited by society.
(Sincerely though, kudos on defending misandry)
#34: Remembering to never mention menstruation around certain women, since they may be triggered by this reminder that they are biologically male.
REALLY? My following has…
I’m sorry, is someone called “queer hairy vag” saying shit to YOU? Oh brother.
goddamnshinyrock asked: I'm a cis-gendered feminist lesbian and I find the views espoused herein to be deeply disturbing. You seem to simply not believe in the existence of trans* or genderqueer individuals, and actively attempt to deny that these individuals are able to determine their identities for themselves by marginalizing them and subsequently belittling them when they offer criticism. I hope you can come to realize that your toxic words & views hurt people, perpetuate intolerance, and give feminists a bad name.
Dear lord.
1. Trans people *exist.* Indeed, I know lots of trans people. I do not actively attempt to deny anyone their ability to determine their identities. My opinions about gender identity *cannot* deny another person’s ability to make their own choices or form their own opinions.
2. It is very rare on the internet that someone offers a criticism that is not accompanied by threatening language. I have a 100% right to respond roughly to violent people. Are you aware of the numerous threats of violence lesbians have experienced for expressing a trans critical opinion?
3. If you think Cathy Brennan gives feminists a bad name, I am laughing at you. Yes, Cathy Brennan is the problem with why women are 2nd class. Forget about misogyny and patriarchy, systemic oppression - it’s Brennan’s fault.
Did you know I support rights for trans folks? http://radicalhub.com/2011/08/15/frequently-asked-questions-about-brennan-hungerfords-un-submission-re-gender-identity-legislation/
Thanks for the civil ask. Also, this is awesome: http://autumnestuary.deviantart.com/art/Ovis-canadensis-289657214
Anonymous asked: (3) Stop policing my choices under the guise of fighting for rights.
Right on, sister.
Anonymous asked: (2) So, why is my preference, one that is no different than the above two, seen as so “problematic”(to use the average SJW’s favorite word). It is no different. I do not like penises. You can tell me all day that a transwoman is a woman, which maybe she is, I don’t really know or care to be perfectly honest. BUT, she’s certainly not female. And, lesbianism refers to sexual actions or attractions between two females. Hence the term homo(same) sexual (sexual organs, not “gender”).
Correct. Trans women are not female. Lesbians like females. That this upsets trans women is NOT a lesbian issue.
