Of course the porn subs are allowed to only have pics or vids of biological females. The men don’t want to look at dick, but any female only lesbian sub is not allowed. I hate Reddit.

This is a women-centered, radical feminist oriented circle to discuss gender from a critical, feminist perspective.
The Sitewide Rules and Sitewide Guidelines are both enforced here. Please read them before posting!
This circle is especially for discussions about gender and transgender ideology/politics. Please use /o/WomensLiberation is for discussions about other feminist topics. /o/Activism is for calls to action, including petitions and fundraisers, and /o/FeministEvents is for posting events.
This circle is focused on articles, news articles, and discussion posts.
Please do not directly link to misogynistic content to start discussions about it.
Most images belong in other circles, as do examples of individual trans activists doing off-the-wall things, as do some news subjects and many personal posts that aren't political:
For discussion about Ovarit, check the meta circles:
Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class.
Women are adult human females. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women or 'identifying' as women. We condemn the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the cancelling of feminists and critics, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. Women are oppressed to exploit their biological sex characteristics, and women have a right to a movement that is about their own liberation from that oppression. We resist the redefinition of both "women" and "feminism" to make them serve men.
"Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." –Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts
"Men often react to women’s words—speaking and writing—as if they were acts of violence; sometimes men react to women’s words with violence. So we lower our voices. Women whisper. Women apologize. Women shut up. Women trivialize what we know. Women shrink. Women pull back. Most women have experienced enough dominance from men—control, violence, insult, contempt—that no threat seems empty." –Andrea Dworkin, Intercourse

They’re TRA in the streets and terfs in the sheets
LMFAO I love this, thank you!
exactly lol
I'm totally gonna steal this line!! XD
The fact that TRAs and TIMs never go after misogynistic straight men with rape/pedo fetishes really makes it seem like they're all in on it and just helping each other out. I'm not one for conspiracy theories, but the thought that transgenderism is nothing but a very successful MRA tactic has definitely crossed my mind. Feminists are ostracized, lesbians are declared transphobic for not having sex with men, men still get to look at porn of women getting brutalized, and straight men are now the most marginalized group in the West. It's a win-win-win-win for men.
The overlap is complete imo. The same guys who come into feminist spaces saying “trans women are women” and “punch terfs” also say “men have problems too” and “it’s not men it’s patriarchy” and “wow you don’t care about men, you’re just a misandrist not a real feminist” it’s not a conspiracy anymore it’s reality. They’re the same people
TIMs mostly are misogynistic straight men with rape/pedo fetishes.
By "most TIMs," do you mean the exception would be people who have gender dysphoria?
Possibly, or the boys being sterilised by their parents. Most adult TIMs are heterosexual autogynephiles, and their other paraphilias seldom take long to emerge.
The exception would be homosexual men who are trying to escape (internalised) homophobia by "identifying out" of being gay.
If you follow Blanchard (who is controversial, but frankly as a person living in a place with a lot of transgender people, i think he's spot-on), then the argument is there are 2 types of men that identify as transwomen: homosexual transsexuals (HSTS) which is basically "super gay" -- gay men so flamboyant/feminine that it's easier for them to live as women, and autogynephiles (AGP), straight men who fetishize the idea of becoming a woman (look at how popular "sissy porn" is).
The classic examples of HSTS would be Blaire White or the transwoman in OITNB. Examples of AGP likely include Jessica Yaniv, Contrapoints, Emilia Decaudin, Rachel McKinnon, etc.
no
It is a mens rights movement. that is why men are not being called ejaculators or prostate havers and why our rights are being trampled all over in just 5 years. I have been doing some research in trans communities and the majority of communities ive infiltrated have been extremely misogynistic. They make "jokes" about women constantly. frequent rape jokes and laughing about how "cis women" have never contributed to society and how they suck at politics. listening in on a group of men who have gaslit the female population into considering them female cackling with their MALE voices at multiple rape jokes is truly chilling.
Makes me feel so powerless when I see this shit openly, and when I point out some things but everybody is like, "oh shut up, don't be such a bigot. These people have it so hard!" Don't even know what to do anymore.
This will all be over eventually. the tide is turning. I see women speaking out who are not even in gender critical communities. its going to be rough for awhile but there is no way that this will continue. these MRA TRAs are too loud to hide that they are a misogynistic movement. They crossed the line as soon as they got a little bit of societal acceptance and women are totally noticing this everywhere. I live in an area where people are afraid of not being politically correct and women have brought these things up to me without me even mentioning it. women I would never expected to be against the trans movement! I was feeling powerless a couple months back but now I see women everywhere waking up and im starting to feel energized.
there is hope!
Very well summarized, for a couple of months now I've come to the conclusion that this is actually their endgame and their success in dismantling women's rights (and putting themselves on top of the victim pyramid these past few years) has been due to sexist, hateful & selfish men attacking and infiltrating feminism and women from multiple angles.
I said to a TRA before and I'll say it to any TRA: as soon as the pimps, johns, rapists, misogynists, and PornHub are confused about what a woman is, then and only then I'll be willing to toy with the question "what is a woman"?
So true.
We need to put this statement on a billboard
Exactly
Maybe we should mass report them for transphobia?
YES
This should be a concentrated effort, but I don't know how many of us are terminally online enough to do this.
I can't even stomach finding which ones have this rule. Men are gross.
I'm hiding from the virus and considering making a reddit account again just for this purpose.
Funny how men suddenly remember what a woman is when they wanna come 🤔
Mmhmmmm
Which tells me with the way trans rights are written (self id) it’s less about trans people and more about getting rid of women’s rights.
I think we should start making a list of porn subreddits with this rule, because it suggests a pretty clear course of action:
Step 1: Aggressively report any porn sub with such a rule as a transphobic hate subreddit, and document the fact that you did so (along with any response that it gets).
Step 2a [if they are forced to remove the rule]: Coordinate a bunch of radfems to start posting (and massively upvoting) a steady stream of porn featuring “women” with big throbbing dicks, and bully / report any men who object to it with relentless accusations of transphobia.
Step 2b [if they refuse to remove the rule or otherwise ignore it]: Spread the news of this rank hypocrisy where Reddit allows horny men to exclude transwomen as much as they please, but deny that right to lesbians and other adult human females who just want to discuss things like periods / endometriosis / etc. without having to dehumanize themselves (“””people who menstruate”””) or otherwise tiptoe around a bunch of nonsensical gender ideology, and use it to peak as many people as possible.
Seems like a win/win situation, right?
I like this idea!
I’d volunteer for this committee.
I could get down with Step 1 and Step 2b anyway. Step 2a would be turned against us.
Posting TIM porn on Reddit is a politically unwise idea as well as a gross one. I don’t want to interact with that content or the men on that kind of subreddit, and if you did that they’d just accuse you of being motivated by fetishism (remember projection is approximately 100% of the TIM personality) and use that to undermine what you are saying when it comes to the awareness raising part.
I get what you’re saying and wouldn’t want to interact with that kind of stuff myself either... But I don’t really see why it would necessarily backfire politically. If transwomen are women and penises can be female and having “genital preferences” is transphobic, why should men in porn subs be shielded from that while women and lesbians get it thrown in their faces constantly? Even a handful of examples of men throwing a tantrum over it could be very handy for demonstrating the hypocrisy and misogyny going on here (e.g. lesbians are expected to welcome penises into their beds, while straight men aren’t even expected to glance at penises in their porn).
I agree men should have to deal with this, TIMs are their problem not ours.
But TIMs would start spreading rumours about TERFs posting trans porn and would make it all sound as scummy and gross as they could and it would be a whole huge thing and probably not end well.
Whyyyyyyy?
Reddit is a privately run website.
It’s not like there are any rules about fairness that they need to follow.
The men at the top are misogynistic and they get TIMs to run the place.
Just abandon the dumpster fire.
I mean to what end are you working? Isn’t your effort best placed elsewhere?
The goal isn’t to fix Reddit, the goal is to put the incoherent gender nonsense in front of more eyeballs and let it speak for itself. I had never participated in discussions about this stuff, and almost certainly wouldn’t be posting here now, if it weren’t for the ban of r/GenderCritical - observing the indefensible sexist double standards on that dumpster fire of a site had a huge impact on me, and I’m sure I can’t be the only one. (Though to be clear, I don’t exactly have the spare time in my life to orchestrate any kind of elaborate trolling scheme like this, lol)
You're brilliant.
I hate men 🤷🏻♀️
mood
I'd totally spam those subs with MTF porn, but I really can't bring myself to search for pictures of naked males, it would be too disgusting.
I'm hetero but TIMs gross me out
This reminds me of the great anime fan war of Reddit earlier this year where a yuri porn subreddit with a large male subscriber base was bombarded by TRAs. The regular straight men were complaining about MTF porn drawings being submitted and TIMs were getting upset over the "transphobia" of men not wanting to see penises in their lesbian hentai. Eventually I believe they broke off and made their own subreddit after the regular guys laughed them away. That was the only time I ever saw TRAs go after other straight men to make any kind of porn more inclusive on Reddit. And it failed miserably.
It figures that the only type of porn TIMs will fight straight men over is cartoon porn.
lesbian cartoon porn -___-
And I bet Reddit's admin didn't ban their new male-dominated subreddit like they did all the women's.
Absolutely awful, misogynist site.
You guessed right. TRAs say that the new anime sub is tRanSpHObiC, but ultimately it is still there.
WTF, this phrase alone, anywhere, would get any woman burned on the stake
If it doesn't get peepees hard it's not allowed, also conveniently acknowledging sex when it is convenient
