Send 50 men and 50 women to an Island, 50 years later, you'd have a colony.
Send 50 men and 50 trans woman to an island, you'd have skeletons.
Future archaeologists would totally be able to tell they weren't men by the grave goods buried along side them, like fishnet stockings, nail polish, blonde wigs, and silicon bladders on the chest area. Who needs angles of the pelvic bones when you've got that sort of conclusive evidence!
And to think that, allegedly, most women imprisoned in the UK are in for not paying for their TV license ...
It is criminal to send women to prison for not paying to be insulted and spat on. 😬
Love this woman
Seriously, that line "femaleness is just post-modern performance art until they need an incubator". I have stars in my eyes.
I love seeing a childhood hero turn out even more badass than I first thought.
“they know what a woman is when they need a surrogate” is my go-to. if we don’t know what a woman is then why aren’t you going to cis/trans/enby/genderqueer/demigender intersex human for your baby incubator?
oh right
Her and Nancy Mace are my heroes. I could only dream to speak with JK Rowling in real life.
Slightly unrelated, but it always bothers me when people say JKR must be trans (???) and that’s why she “hates” trans people and that she’s a hypocrite because she has her own preferred male name.. like yeah dumbass she is a WOMAN who had to use a MAN’S NAME to be taken seriously at the behest of her publisher.. basically proving her point that women are oppressed on the basis of even PERCEIVED sex. /rant over
It’s hilarious bc these people also call her “Jo” as if she’s going to throw a tantrum about being “dead named” or something 😂
I remember seeing a study proving this on art work. People were given various paintings to judge and if they saw a mans name by it they gave it a higher rating versus ones with a woman's name next to it.
When they were given the paintings to view without names, the results were a lot different and female paintings got higher ratings. I have been trying to google it but all I am coming up with is that female artists get paid less than male ones and their work goes for less at auction.
This same bias is why orchestras began holding auditions in ways that disguised the sex of the player.
Works the same for resumés
I can't remember off the top of my head either, but there's a chance it could have been something from Guerrilla Girls, or at least referenced in one of their books/info sources. I've not kept up with them for a while but I know they've always been a good resource for sexism in art.
I love them! Do you know if they’re GC? I’d be so disappointed if they’re TRA.
I'm not sure but I feel the same. Their whole idea breaks apart if they start including men as women. One of my old professors loved them and highlighted a lot of their older work before I peaked so I never thought to look at that until now honestly. Their wiki page said they had a "controversy" for being "insensitive towards trans women" in a campaign, but I can't even tell when that was or if they've since changed anything.
