Hi, I’m new (to the site, not to feminism 😉). Eager to meet some like-minded women—hopefully locally, one day. 👋

@sunspot Ah yes, “sex work is work”… so is child labor. So is slavery. Maybe… some types of “work”… aren’t ethical? 🤔 Their stupidity is mind-boggling…

@Berco Agree. I never use the term “trans people” because it implies there exists a class of people who are this thing called “trans,” which is impossible because “trans” is defined by false premises: born in the wrong body, assigned sex at birth, gender is innate, etc. All false. There is no such thing as “trans people.” There are simply people who call themselves trans. What does exist are people with dysphoria and gender-nonconforming people. And thus, there is no such thing as “transphobia” because oppression does not occur on the basis of how you perceive yourself (“identity”) but by how you are externally perceived (e.g. a person of color can’t escape racism by “identifying” as white). Discrimination faced by trans-identifying people is the same faced by all GNC people, on the basis of gender-nonconformity, which is rooted in homophobia (which is rooted in misogyny), because GNC people are assumed to be gay.

@Berco Good point; I mean, everyone is technically “gender-nonconforming” to some degree because it’s impossible to fit every sex stereotype 24/7. There’s no clear-cut way of delineating what level of GNC will lead to discrimination, but as we do need some way of describing folks who face discrimination for deviating from stereotypes (ie more than just a woman wearing pants), I generally use the term to indicate significant deviation from the most accepted and established norms, like a woman never wearing makeup or shaving, or a man taking his wife’s last name. Traits that will generally get you criticized in society, deem you “less of a man” or “less of a woman” / less desirable as a partner by heteropatriarchal standards, etc. 🤷

@starsstorm I didn’t find out until I was five weeks. Couldn’t even get an appointment until well after six. They know exactly what they’re doing.

@EmmaFaber Love how the article title and description, as always, fail to mention male violence. It’s always “violence against women” or “women facing violence” or “domestic violence”… despite that it is virtually always male violence. Even more broadly, gun violence and terrorism and the vast majority of violent crime. But no one will ever name it because that might make everyone realize men shouldn’t be allowed to be around women. 🙃
