As Gays against Groomers puts it: In America, all of them would be told they are trans.
As someone who is very attracted to butch women, and who feels like they are an increasingly endangered species, I love seeing 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:

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
That's amazing. It makes me so depressed to know that the USA has lost its entire generation of younger GNC women.
TRAs whine endlessly about genocide. But their toxic ideology has practically eliminated the population of butch lesbians by turning them into "straight/queer men".
Same. It's such an unacknowledged tragedy.
I try to remind myself that there's another generation coming after them. GNC women will always exist. They can't eradicate us. One day the trans craze will pass, and girls will be free to be themselves again.
While I am happy for the women taking part in this, the way the news articles describe this competition to be specifically for GNC women who are lesbians feels like their society is giving some women a free pass to be gnc only because they are dating women. I don't think your average straight woman will have her gncness celebrated like this.This is still a step in the right direction, but I'm just not yet impressed considering the culture's tendency to conflate gnc behavior with sexuality. Granted, my source was freakin' Wikipedia, so I would welcome any filipino friends proving my assumption wrong.
Yes. This thought soothes my soul, and I do feel it's true.
