RantFor the lurkers: the mindset of ‘trans women’ disgusts me
There is something so deeply disturbing and disgusting about the way ‘trans women’ try to co-opt womanhood. When these men talk about their ‘euphoric’ chest changes and ‘PMS’ symptoms and just generally fetishise female puberty (which they are not experiencing) whilst filling their bodies with wrong sex hormones, it is so insulting. Us women know what it’s like to grow up female and to go through puberty. It is obscene that men now cosplay and find ‘euphoria’ in pretending to have female experiences - it’s sick when you think about how women have been oppressed for literally almost the entirety of the human race just for being female. There is nothing more male and more patriarchal than the behaviour of so-called ‘trans women’. For any TIM lurkers hate-scrolling Ovarit, please know that your behaviour is disgusting and hateful towards women. You are not ‘living as a woman’ or living ‘authentically’. You are consumed with a ridiculous and offensive fantasy that stems from your male sexual deviations. It’s disgusting. I am so glad society is starting to wake up.
those things are just stereotypes that come from a long and complicated history with misogyny and backwards traditions
Yes
But now can they understand that stereotypes shouldn't force other people to pretend and give males access to female only spaces and force everyone to go along with an ideology that believes in using "men" and "non-men"
Hmmmm. Despite the T reference, I can't help wondering if grizzcat is a stealth terf trying to deprogram the brainwashed women of r/agender......
I'm not even really trying to rag on these two in particular. I just want to feel some optimism, and I think it's young women and girls like this who feel how wrong the idea of gender is. And maybe I'm projecting some, because I see myself being able to fall for some of this if I grew up completely inundated with its propaganda and believing it to be the truth. But, I broke out of religious programming and I eventually shed my teenage NLOG phase, and that's how I know it's not impossible to move forward. And it starts with these small discomforts and doubts.
"I want to be seen as just a human and not a woman" we all do! It's misogyny that makes people see us as less than human because we are women. None of us want that. And if you feel that sick feeling watching men put on a woman costume and act like what their porn addled brain thinks a woman should be, know that they don't get to decide what women really are. They are liars and charlatans. Woman is a descriptor of your body, nothing more or less. You are free to be whoever you want. Do whatever you want. Act however you want. None of that matters and none of that is relevant to "womanhood"
How can you recognize this but still embrace gender ideology?
