Old blog name = rebuildingme-epistleblog Welsh. #Superlesbian 👊 This is my general blog, but will probably mostly contain feminism related stuff. I am radical leaning.

Ideology: the belief that children can be born “wrong” or “in the wrong body”. The belief that soul’s exists and are separate from physical bodies and can be mixed up. Pink brain vs blue brains neurosexism. These are all part of modern trans ideology. These are beliefs not based in facts. It’s a religious belief. I will not accept this sexist repackaging of old bullshit.

Not a belief system: some women are exclusively attracted to other women

Is a belief system: some men are women.

For me to accept the first one I just have to know that... well, some women are same sex attracted. That's it. More of an acknowledgement of a reality than a belief, really.

For me to accept the second one, otoh?

Faith based claims:

1) that there is a way to feel like a woman, detached from the reality of living with a female body

2) that it is even possible to know that this feeling exists, let alone what it feels like, considering:

a) we cannot know how other people 'feel' in regards to a womanhood detached from having a female body, because

b) it is impossible to detached womanhood from having a female body when you have a female body

3) that men can have this feeling

4) that men can recognize this feeling as, basically, disembodied woman-feels

5) that this makes them women in any way, shape, or form

6) that, if it does make them some form of woman, they should therefore get access to FEMALE only space, and opportunities specifically set up to mitigate the historical inequalities FEMALES face/faced, because;

7) 'woman-feels' cancels out male biology

Hope this helps, OP!

Trust I will be in the cinema watching Love Lies Bleeding the same way middle aged women were watching Fifty Shades of Grey in 2015.

Female superhero movies will keep flopping because they keep hiring actresses with barely any stage presence, roguish charisma, or edge. Stop hiring actresses that look like flimsy 24 year olds, who don't look like they could fight their way out of a wet paper bag and don't have a commanding voice. Scarlet Johansson, Bri Larson, and Dokata Johnson couldn't lead anyone into battle. Gal Gadot can barely act, and she looks like she'll be blown over by a strong wind and the Wonder Woman they wrote never had a distinct personality. There is space for the young female peter parker types finding themselves yes, but it is like every superhero writer has forgotten how to write and cast a female power fantasy. I have major marvel/dc fatigue, but I hate that it happened before a powerful woman got front and center. I just feel like the next generation of girls will have so little to look forward to when it comes to the portrayal of female powerhouses. There were just unique actresses that obviously met the strict Hollywood beauty requirements to be on tv, but still manage to act in a way that made you feel like they were 7 feet tall and 200 pounds of muscle. Their movement/decisions had weight to it. When they spoke you listened. And you would think twice about challenging them to a fight. They either don't make them like that anymore, or at least don't give them staring roles. We get so few every couple of years, and I think there will be even less in the future.

The answer to this major problem is to cast older women to play strong leading characters, none of these actresses are dead, and most are within the age range of their male counterparts. I am tired of being forced to envision the female equivalent of Michael Cera as a fearsome and powerful leader. She is not, she couldn't be the assistant manager at a fast food restaurant. She is not a superhero. These women however...HAVE IT!

Mainstream libs claim they value community but will also "How does this affect you personally" you to death. Just saw someone say people should mind their business when they openly see someone doing Fent and other hard drugs on public transport. Minding your business is essential but sorry at a certain point people harming themselves all around you does affect your environment and life. And even if it doesn't- not giving a shit about literally anything happening around you is not very hashtag community of you.

“Never forget that it only takes one political, economic or religious crisis for women’s rights to be put in jeopardy. Those rights are never to be taken for granted; you must remain vigilant throughout your life.”

Simone de Beauvoir

there are a lot of red names popping up in the notes so I’d like to add another quote from Simone de Beauvoir:

“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman.”

“One is not born, but rather becomes, a woman. No biological, psychological, or economic destiny defines the figure that the human female acquires in society; it is civilization as a whole that develops this product”

That’s the full sentence of the quote you chose. She says the role human females (women) are expected to fulfill in society, i.e. femininity, does not arise from differences in psychology, biology, or intellect, but rather, femininity is a result of socialization, of a social construct. 

So in very simple terms: the feminine role is not natural to human females. Women are taught to occupy a specific place in society through socialization, not as a natural result of biology. 

Or do you think Simone De Beauvoir, an existentialist philosopher, was actually saying men can become women?

wish like anybody understood that one of the most insidious things about the lgbT nonsense especially as a lesbian is being exposed to heinous dystopian nonsense on the daily and being expected to be like :) you do you :) people make different choices :) like i walk into the craft fair and 30% of the women have visible elective amputations :) i suddenly discover that an acquaintance's "husband" is a woman who despite being an extremely successful visible lesbian has decided in the past two years her life is unbearable unless she pretends to be a man for the remainder of her life and ropes her wife and children into the charade :) and the medical establishment agreed with her wretchedly hopeless assessment of her life and told her in their scientific opinion some percentage of lesbians are men who need to have their female organs removed or destroyed lest they be so emasculated they commit suicide :) my wife goes to the local org lawyer thing to talk about employment discrimination and the lesbian who helps her denies she is a woman and outside the office is a woman who is loudly impersonating a caricature of a gay man and has undergone life-shortening medical abuse to assist her in the life goal of having gay men approach her sexually :) this is a normal thing to encounter every single day and i am capable of acting normally in the face of it :)

Last year there was a kid in my sons class who, at 10, would talk about porn use in front of the other kids (ages from 8-11)

And when his mother was informed she just shrugged and said “well, he’s a boy”

so much kink shit is just men trying to justify their desire to hurt women and pretend like they can go into a room, hurt someone, get off to hurting someone, and then walk out as if that doesn’t mean anything about who they are as a person

if your feminism doesn’t piss off the majority of men it’s probably not effective

It is always sad to see how some women fight so hard for the men that do not even see them as humans.

As JK Rowling said, “The most comfortable place for women to stand has always been where there’s more male approval. Such women sell out other women for their own benefit then point to their personal success as a great feminist triumph.” I swear to God, this woman never lies!!

These people all have the same cringe mannerisms and sense of humor. Like, you can tell with 99% accuracy who group in tumblr q*eer spaces just by how they behave. It’s super uncanny and bizarre how they never seem to grow out of it.

it's kind of crazy climate change has occurred at such a remarkable pace that I and everyone else around my age can remember a completely different climate in our childhoods. I truly watched winter gradually disappear in my life.

"You're too young to remember this, but there used to be so many insects outside that you would have to clean them off the windshield after a long car ride" is the kind of sentence that would have been in a cheesy scifi short story earlier in my life, perhaps submitted to a literary magazine and accepted to show support for its environmentalist message - now it's something I've said in earnest.

There have been some days in the last few summers when England was hotter than *Greece*

Last year our daffodils started blooming on Christmas day and my rose bloomed five times - including once in November!

Its rained so much for so long that its stripping house paint away, animals are losing their grazing to mud and the vegetables are rotting in the ground.

Dogs are not growing in their winter coats.

There are so many things that are just not right at all.

Nicole Simpson would be 64 years old if Simpson hadn't murdered her.

Fuck mourning OJ Simpson. He was a football player. Nicole was a young woman with children who tried to get away.

Here come the journalists weighing in about OJ Simpson's "complicated history" -- it's not complicated. He killed his wife because she wouldn't take his abuse.
