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

It bugs me when TIMs say their transgenderism caused their infertlity.
If they transitioned in childhood - I feel bad for them. Clearly someone failed them. But if they're adults, it's their own decision to cut their balls off. Plus, I know a TIM who banked his sperm before getting hormones and bottom-surgery, so he can 100% have his own biological children one day.
Yep. BW made a whole video about this and I just... couldn't sympathize. shockedpikachu you're infertile because of HRT? oh noooo
His ego is so fragile. If he's so confident in his "womanhood" and thinks he's so much prettier than Vanessa, why is he giving her attention? Why is he inciting his stans to attack her? If you're so happy with your surgeries, just be happy dude, you can't control how other people perceive you, you can't expect absolutely everyone to affirm your delusional sense of self. That's not going to work, especially with intelligent autistic women who can see right through the bullshit.
His ego depends on having a squad of flying monkeys ready to shit on anyone who harms his ego. He also relies on a squad of handmaidens to pat his head and say, "I'M okay with you in my bathroom because you're so pretty, Samantha! Ignore the ugly TERFs because they’re jealous!!"
This really is the dominant take and it's horrifying
His ego also needs the power of deception and manipulation.

There is awhole video of him getting clocked and enjoying the freedom of dishonesty granted by transsexualism. Technically, he is baiting people into "committing hate crimes" which is insidious.
I love the mental image of this post. It's hysterical!
Thank you!! 😁
Yeah the handmaidens are sad. "We don't claim Vanessa as one of us!!! Tee hee, Samantha is more of a woman than I'll ever be!"
Or how about:
"Here, take my vagina, cervix, uterus, Samantha! You deserve them more than me!"
That's some next level patriarchal brainwashing there.
TIM: voluntarily blocks testosterone and removes testicles
Also TIM: "How dare you mock my struggles with infertility"
Can you really call electing to be castrated "infertility"? Talk about being your own reproductive system's Dee Dee Blanchard...
You can't even call it infertility regardless, due to to what the word actually means. Sterility is the complete inability to conceive and infertility is the inability to complete a full term pregnancy and give birth to a healthy child. A person is said to be sterile if he or she is physically incapable of ever having a child without medical intervention.
That pissed me off
He snickers at FGM, too. What a piece of shit.
Ugh.
I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again, this could create a huge push against TRAs.
Out of those fans Samantha sent over some will listen and eventually Vanessas points will resonate with them.
You're infertile because you cut your fucking balls off
🤣🤣🤣👌
This is like my broke ass spending my whole pay check on a life sized Danny Devito Cut out, and then crying that I lost my 401K
Nothing he ever does will not be male, because everything he does will always be male.
Just as everything I do is female. Because the one thing I'll never be is male. I could be an astronaut, but I couldn't be a dude. I also can't turn into a different race, or be from a different country than the one I was born in.
This is a perfect response. I hope Vanessa knows she has our support ❤️
I know, right? What's Sammy going to do? It's just a collection of things he said.
Go like it and report the comments from the brigade, and comment in support! I reported like 25 comments for harassment and bullying.
I've been reporting so many damn comments. Mostly for harassment, eg. comments calling her ugly (like by saying she looks like a TIM - LOL, wtf, TIM-fans?). I'm also reporting as harassment the many comments gloating about how many of them are harassing her, and the comments telling her to kill herself (using creative phrasing to not get autodeleted by Youtube). All the misogynistic slurs I'm reporting as hate speech, though I don't even know if women are protected by anti-"hate speech" rules; we usually aren't.
I don't know either but I've been treating them (misogynist slurs) as hate speech. Why not.
I reported the solitary slurs but left most replies to GC's comments be - because they so magnificently showcase the circular arguments and general idiocy of the TRA mob. In each thread they just disappear one by one, poof, like magic, as they run out of sensible things to say (as if they ever had any, haha).
Me too!
Playing the smallest violin in the world for samantha’s infertility. Also, vanessa, you rock!
Yes yes yes yes yes!
