WHY IS FEMINISM A THING

 I may BE a TRANS WOMAN, But at the end of the day bitch, I’m sure I look about a million times better and more feminine than ANY DYKE you could ever get, m kay HUNTY?HAVE your filthy period and birth out and continue to shove phallac objects up your filthy cunt , at the end of the day I’ve assimilated into society as a WOMAN and I’m sure I get FAR more respect as a woman than you, you stupid fucking lesbian.

I swear if I ever look up and see a transwoman (or really any male) reflected in the mirror of a public women’s bathroom I’m going to shriek like a fucking banshee until that bastard’s ears bleed or they gain a newfound respect for women only spaces and GTFO. And this isn’t because I’m a radfem- this is because the women’s restroom is supposed to be a safe male-free zone. When a male violates that they put every female in there on edge, and some of us have 0 tolerance for that kind of fuckery. Especially those of us who have been assaulted, abused, or otherwise harmed by men. No warning, I’m just going to scream. Think about that before you decide you want to go into the woman’s restroom. I’m not the only one who will shriek. 

quick question, where do you propose they go to the bathroom if not in the womens bathroom?

like if you have a problem with it please offer up a solution to it where everyone wins.

first of all i have to argue that cultural appropriation =/= racism, cultural appropriation doesn’t stem from hatred, it stems from ignorance. similarly there is a difference between purposely portraying a racist caricature / stereotype and cultural appropriation.
dressing up as a mexican with a sombrero and holding tacos and claiming to be mexican in the name of humour IS racist and offensive, whether or not it stemmed from hatred depends on the situation.HOWEVER being trans isn’t really comparable to cultural appropriation OR dressing up as a racist caricature or stereotype as being trans .. i’m going to go right ahead and say NEVER  stems from hatred or ignorance, i’d say it mostly stems from love and admiration.
i can see and sympathise with the way radical feminists feel that trans women are appropriating womanhood, they look at things from a certain perspective, they really just need to sort of turn things around and observe them from all sides.
again another point “ Men will never know what it’s like to be a woman. “
correct, cis men don’t know what it’s like to be women, cis women don’t know what it’s like to be cis men and a trans man / woman will have a completely different man / woman experience to a cis man / woman.
cultural appropriation =/= racism 
transsexualism =/= appropriation womanhood 
transsexualism =/= misogyny.

Transphobia According to Tumblr
Actual Transphobia: I think transsexual people are sick twisted perverts, we should wipe them off the planet, the existence of transsexual people just pisses me off

I just wanted to bring this to everyone’s attention:

a few days ago we had a bit of a discussion on the comparison between cis people wanting plastic surgery and trans people having a sex change and the way we tell cis people they should accept the body they were born into and yet not trans people, tbh i still don’t really understand it but i had a lot of people tell me that being cis and desperately wanting plastic surgery is in no way comparable to being trans and wanting a sex change, for a while i’ve had two friends who constantly go on about how much they wants plastic surgery and no matter how much they are told they are beautiful (they are) and don’t need it, they legitimately feel like they are hideous and feel like they need plastic surgery to correct it.

i recently found out that one of my friends, or possibly both, considering they are both about the same anyway, but ONE of my friends confessed that she has been diagnosed with something called Body dysmorphic disorder. (it’s different to an eating disorder, she doesn’t percieve herself as fat, she perceives herself as hideous and constantly changes her appearance, suffers with severe social anxiety because she feels ugly, etc)

i’m not trying to say this is any worse than being trans or any easier, i am simply backing myself up, i did mention that there are mental illnesses that make people feel seriously insecure and want plastic surgery, i’ve see tv shows about it, the people portrayed in them are usually shamed and told they are conceited or narcissistic and that they need to just accept their bodies the way they are. somebody did tell me that being cis and wanting to change your appearance couldn’t be as bad as being trans being being trans = feeling like there is something wrong with your body / that you were born in the wrong body / that it’s part of a deeper psychological problem, this illness presents the exact same symptoms it’s just more about appearance than gender, specifically.  when imo i think that being trans is still about appearance anyway, if it wasn’t about appearance then just simply identifying as ___ would be enough, but there is a certain need to APPEAR __, really. although i understand the reasons behind wanting to appear that way after the RLE thing was explained to me, i can still draw parallels between these two things though.

so with this information i present the question AGAIN:

why do we shame cis people who legitimately want plastic surgery because they feel there is something wrong with them / they feel they are horribly deformed and call them narcissistic while we tell trans people it’s ok to alter their bodies, i’m still not seeing why this is okay, i’m sorry.

where is the body positivity?

it strikes me as odd that when it comes to cis people we encourage each other not to get plastic surgery etc and to be comfortable in our own bodies, “don’t get breast implants, learn to love your flat chest!” or “why would you WANT a nose job, your nose is perfectly fine and natural even if you hate it and it makes you uncomfortable and you feel ugly!”

and yet when it comes to trans people, altering their bodies is somehow justified and encouraging them not to have their breasts or penises or whatever removed and to be comfortable in their own bodies is somehow… immoral?

what is it about gender that makes it so special and different? what is it about you not liking having a penis or boobs etc that justifies you permanently altering your body and gives you the right to scream at people who tell you to accept your body the way it is?

How to know if you’re cis scum:

it-was-chaos-and-luck:

  • Be cis.
  • Make jokes about the term ‘die cis scum’ and play the victim.
  •  
  •  
  •  
  • That’s it.
  • If you’re both of those things, you’re cis scum.
  • Now go reflect on that, you privilege-denying assholes.

so basically you are cis scum no matter what, therefore “die cis scum” applies to 99% of cis people with probably the exception of cis people who grovel at the feet of the trans community.
