I (29F) told an overly attached friend (21MtF) that I needed some space. She is not giving me space.

I'm curious what the justification will be because if a straight woman is into a TIM, doesn't that mean he's a man?

Think it's the usual men thinking women's sexualities aren't real or don't count.

Lmao i have literally seen TIMs say in the same breath that lesbians dating TIFs is EVIL AND TRANSPHOBIC and without skipping a beat saying that straight women who leave their AGP husbands are EVIL AND TRANSPHOBIC

pick a fucking lane homeboy!

Yup. Their favorite game is "heads I win, tails you lose" and they get supremely butthurt when women wise up enough to not play it with them.

Gender Critical Feminism

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

"The key thing to understand about trans rights activism is that, unlike gay rights activism, it is not just a movement seeking to ensure that trans people are not discriminated against. It is, rather, a movement committed to a fundamental reconceptualization of the very idea of what makes someone a man or a woman. In theory, this equally affects both men and women, but in practice, almost all the social pressure is coming from trans women towards the idea of ‘woman’ and the rights of women." –Jane Clare Jones
