Shumirun Nessa now begging for mercy after TRAs and Islamophobes continue to threaten not only her life but her children. She acquiesced for their safety and I feel just sick after watching this.
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 original text-based discussion posts written by our posters.
Please do not make a linkpost to misogynistic or anti-GC content to start discussions about it.
Linkposts to social media posts are only allowed if the link is to a gender critical feminist's posts, and the "GC Social Media" flair is only to be used when linking to gender critical feminists. If you want to start a discussion about a different kind of social media post, make a text post conversation starter instead of a linkpost, same as with videos.
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:

Please report any ads for private groups that do not have a comment from a mod confirming that it is approved. Never give anyone sensitive information that could be used to de-anonymize you without first vetting them yourself. Be careful!
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
The problem is not "gc people and detransitioners" imo. It's the twitter environment.
I recently made a new account just to be pure terfy meanness. GC and radfems are not the same, and with hundreds of thousands of people on twitter, you're going to get every breed. I've seen "GC people" try and make fun of a homely woman by calling her a man, I've seen those same people talk about hideous mutilated bodies of trans/detrans ppl.
Do they represent us? No. But will they be used to represent us by very sensitive people?? Big time yes. It's the whole "remember not all GCs are good" is because everyone tries to do the tribal shit. It's why radfems are already splintered off from "GC" because radical feminism isn't just about trans nonsense, and people began to fail purity tests set by the loudest voices. Oh you're not anti vax? Everyone come look at this dumb idiot. Oh you're not anti porn? Everyone come look at this misogynist.
That's not just GCs and radfems obviously, that's the entirety of cancel culture, but it just means that no matter what "internet sect" you belong to, there will always be people to complain that you aren't the realest version of said sect and that you should only listen to whomstever.
Sorry I compared porn and vaccines but I'd literally never run into anto vax stuff until I started adding "GC people" (read: not radfems) and saw just how wide the spectrum was for what GC now meant.
I have to disagree. I've seen this behavior, taking potshots at radfems, which they use interchangeably with GC, from prominent detransitioners over and over.
I think it's both. Social media is not a great environment. I don't like the algorithm bubbles and "amplify emotions"-phenomenon. At the same time I think it's becoming fairly obvious which personality types tend to go loudly trans (and then loudly de-trans at some point). These phenomena play into each other. I will even go so far as to state that without these social media algorithms (and porn), the loud trans thing wouldn't be happening at all.
(The narcissists and some self-haters would still exist and doing more traditional narcissist and self-hater stuff, while AGP might not be a thing at all).
There are certain people who need a belief system in order to function. The type you describe are often raised in Christian/ultra religious homes that may have been overly oppressive and forceful with gender roles. I see many trans believers also subscribe to hardcore atheism and/or satanism. I've even seen some describe themselves as "high priestess/priest" of whatever alternative shit they believe in. They hate and censor facts that go against their beliefs. They were never taught to digest facts that are incongruent with their world view; they lack critical thinking skills.
I'm fascinated by this facet of gender ideology.
I haven't seen many satanist or alternative people, I've mostly seen porn sick anime fans. Gamer dudebros. All the male ones I met personally was of this persuasion.
I have one friend who has considered going TIF, and she is a self-harmer (of which this would just be a facet, in my opinion).
