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.
Please do not directly link to misogynistic content to start discussions about it. This includes people saying wacky things on social media sites as well as articles that are misogynistic.
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:

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

Hoooly cow there's some good ones there.
There's this Lipstick Alley thread with plenty of examples of racism and misogyny from TRAs targeted at black women
I love LSA! Did you see the one where they were ripshit some guy was complaining about how there weren't enough men repping at the black woman's awards?
No, but that sounds awesome!
Here we go- https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/%E2%80%98pose%E2%80%99-angelica-ross-calls-out-the-bet-awards-for-not-being-inclusive-to-the-lgbtq-community.3659911/page-4
Bonus - Angelica Ross telling black women to stop telling men to murder tims and because they aren't, they're killing tims. Here's a TiM (can we say that here in this space especially for ta contect like this) saying women are literally responsible for the murders of TWs. https://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/angelica-ross-panel-cis-bw-should-stand-up-and-stop-indoctrinating-bm-to-murder-trans-women.3875802/
The TRA racism Twitter and the tweets shown in the LSA thread are so fucking depressing. It's obvious that TRA's are just racist, misogynistic fuckwits.
