How did you find out about Ovarit and Radical Feminism especially?
I know a lot of women found their way here from the Gender Critical subreddit and there seems to be a fair amount of overlap between the userbases of Ovarit and Female Dating Strategy and Mumsnet as well...
I found about Ovarit from the GC subreddit... I used to lurk there before it went down... How about you?
I had not looked that deeply into it yet and I just thought transgender people were people in the wrong body and just trying to live their lives, and thought procedures were very realistic at changing genders. I later realized the societal problems with the ideology and how surgeons and providers were lying and mutilating people, promising them the impossible.
Thanks! I'm often struck by the amount of belief that you can successfully "change sex" when the operation results are still so crude and surface-level compared to natal sex organs. There is so much evidence out there and so much truth, but it doesn't seem to be reaching the high vulnerable people signing up for these surgeries.
And so often when the risk and limitations are mentioned, any discussion is slammed down/deleted/banned under the "transphobia" accusation.
It's worrying and the result of endless tragic stories on the detrans sub.
