transwomen insisting on being included in lesbian communities is why lesbian bars are dying because there’s no point trying to socialize with other lesbians or find a romantically/sexually compatible partner in a “lesbian” bar that’s full of males
lesbian transwomen are still women. if you want cis only lesbian spaces make them!
We did.
They were called “lesbian bars”, and “women’s music festivals”, and “women’s book stores”, and trans activists have hounded them out of existence.
PantheaCon female-only spiritual rites infiltrated by transactivists Sex-specific events are no longer allowed at PantheaCon — not even
traditional rites based on exclusively female experiences such as
menstruation, which have always been deeply revered in many Pagan
traditions
The Nerds with Vaginas Facebook page has been unpublished at least three times by Facebook due to reports from transactivists
over their name. This is despite their regular posts declaring
themselves pro-trans and explaining that they, the page owners are the
nerds with vaginas.
thats right ladies, not even a facebook page!!!!! not allowed!!!!!! they’re still alive for now but goddamn
This is a general call, an SOS – does anyone know of a single lesbian bar, event, gathering, festival or anything that is women-only? Please comment here. Is there anything that remains for us at the end of the day?
Just to let everyone know, the Red Tent organization was one created by women who wanted to reclaim period huts (where women were often sent to be away from society while menstruating and often died) as a female only safe place that celebrated women and their periods instead of being a place where they were punished.
Transwomen (biological men who have never had a period let alone been sentenced to death because of one) had that safe space shut down because it was “not inclusive”.
I am outraged by this movement every single day. It’s like they keep trying to top themselves on how much they can fuck over women and flaunt their male power in our faces.
many people on this website actually seem to think the extent of women’s reproductive system is “vagina” and that that’s what radical feminists are talking about re: the root of women’s oppression being biological and like. seem to completely forget about reproduction? ovaries, uterus?? the fact that these organs have a function and aren’t just…there? the fact that ~ one half of the population has these organs and everyone without them requires the use of another human’s organs to maintain human life on this planet?? and how that might be pretty significant, historically and today, that ~ half of people have no way of guaranteeing a baby is theirs unless they’ve ensured the person with the required childbearing organs has only had sex with them?? how just maybe that would require the non- childbearing half to control the childbearing half in some way?? maybe even requiring the use of violence and force against them????? hmmmmm
if you read even 1 page from a history book or a business journal published today you’ll see how vitally significant women’s reproductive capacity has been to politics & the economy – leaders need superior numbers of soldiers to fight in wars, who births the soldiers? wealthy men need heirs to carry on their names, who births the heirs? capitalists need workers, who births the workers?
but sure… women’s oppression is “arbitrary” according to leading philosophers 🙄
I’m seriously convinced that the only reason why the current ‘no such thing as female anatomy’ has any traction at all is because reproduction has been made invisible/unspeakable. If you have ovaries, you take your precautions discreetly and as a matter of couse. Some medicines and procedures just have side effects, you know? And who in your peer group is even anywhere close to having the money for a baby, anyway? (Other than those stupid chicks from high school who got themselves knocked up, ha ha, but they deserved it.)
The majority of uterus bears (remember that?) across time and space haven’t had that luxury. Remember the formulation that privilege is not having to think of the things that constrain the lives of others? Maybe you can’t see any difference between a dick and a dildo (or any other number of ‘hearts not parts’ equivalences) but that’s because you live in a very specific, very anomalous context.
A very specific, anomalous context that can’t be taken for granted. Ever.
yes, I wrote a paper in college on the topic of your first paragraph! I was a teen mom, went through college with my first kid, and the way my peers responded to me being a parent was outrageous. they treated my kid like an STD. here were all these proudly sex-positive young adults, seemingly absolutely comfortable with sex, yet made so so uncomfortable by a living, breathing reminder of my sexuality. just horrified that I had had sex with a Consequence.
I think it’s related to porn culture, how sex has turned into this illusion of shaved vulvas and pornified performances and like, sheepish shrugs in Plan B commercials because the word “pregnant” can’t even be associated with this Fun, make-believe sex. it’s leftist misogyny. I think you’re absolutely right, reproduction has become very obscured. the reality of it is lost, especially to those who will never have to fear or experience pregnancy. privilege of ignorance.
Wow, that’s such an important point.
I was also reminded of the obsession with reproduction – and their lack thereof – that you find in incel-type discourse. I don’t know exactly how it relates, but I feel like it does.
“By the time i was 14 or 15, I came to this existential crisis. I was really mad, really angry, […] so I took up judo and karate. And every time in school a bully was molesting or being aggressive to a girl, I was there to defend her.”
“When I started doing journalism in Southeast Mexico, I kept going to these small Mayan towns to interview women, because I wanted to explain to the world how poverty and racism were affecting them. But they didn’t want to talk about poverty or the lack of food, they wanted to talk about domestic violence.
So after a while, after interviewing all these people, I had a radio programme. And here I was, talking about domestic violence, and the rights of women, and all of a sudden one day […] the producer starts banging at the window, […] so I open the door and there’s like 25 women, standing there going “Lydia, thank you, thank you for opening the radio, […] we’re leaving our husbands, you’re right, we have rights and this is not fair, we’re leaving.” So I told them, okay, let’s go to social services and find out what you can do. […] And [the woman at social services] was like “Oh no no no, ladies, go back home, behave well, cook the meals and stop complaining.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. So I gathered a group of friends and told them, we have to open a house, a big house where women […] can go with her kids, so she won’t be mistreated and can get a new life. So I opened a big shelter and I called it the High Security Shelter for Battered Women.”
“I dressed up as a prostitute, and I got in [brothels], infiltrated some clubs in which I knew were teenage girls, and I found clubs that had 12, 13 year-old girls, in the Dominican Republic, in Mexico, in the US, in Japan, in Cambodia. […] I was able to see, and count, how many little girls were in the brothels. In a very small area in Mexico City, I found 140 little girls, younger than 10 years-old, that were exploited sexually, and the police cars were outside there, protecting the pimps. So I documented this, and you can read it in my book, Slavery Inc. […] I wanted to explain to people how clients thought. [I talked to] some of these clients, from Europe, in their 40s, all of them married, some of them doctors, journalists, writers—I dressed up [as a prostitute] and […] they told me all their stories, and I wrote one chapter specifically on the clients.
And I kept hearing this story over and over again in many countries: […] “You know, I’m happy, my wife is fun, she’s beautiful, I have these kids and everything is okay at home, but you know, I don’t know what happened to European women. […] They want to tell you when they want to have sex and when they don’t. I like Latin women because they’re so submissive, they’re so obedient. […]” That was a question I kept asking European and Mexican and American men—why do you go to these places? Aren’t you aware that these young women might be slaves? And they could have a joyful, happy, free sex life, and not have to be enslaved like this, and forced to have sex, or raped? And what they said was, “We miss the way women were. And we like this. How manhood feels like.”
And I think that’s one of the biggest secrets of the sex slavery industry. Men. […] It has become a tremendous burden for women in every country in the world, because 93% of all NGOs that work to rescue girls and boys and women, or work on psychology groups to help them go through the trauma of being enslaved—are women. Women who have a career, who have a life, and then on top of that are activists because they want to change things. Yesterday in Melbourne somebody said “Sex slavery is a woman’s problem.” And I said “It has become a woman’s problem, because men are not working with us to end slavery.” The male population is not only responsible for this terrible crime around the world, they are also responsible for not doing anything about it.”
(If you want to read a more detailed account of Lydia Cacho’s life & fight, I posted a link last year to a series of articles about her.)
Why can’t these men see these women and girls as fully human?
A couple of weeks ago we announced an update to our Community Guidelines regarding adult content, and we’ve received a lot of questions and feedback from you. First and foremost, we are sorry that this has not been an easy transition and we know we can do a better job of explaining what we’re doing. We knew this wasn’t going to be an easy task and we appreciate your patience as we work through the challenges and limitations of correctly flagging tens of billions of GIFs, videos, and photos.
Today, December 17th, our policy begins to take effect. This means that we will start hiding – not deleting – posts that contain GIFs, videos, and photos from public view that are in violation of our policy. Again, this is a complex problem, and over the coming weeks we will gradually, and carefully, flag more adult content. (Yes, we will still make mistakes, but hopefully fewer and fewer.)
More importantly, we want to clarify the things that you, as a community, have asked about the most.
Tumblr will always be a place to explore your identity. Tumblr has always been home to marginalized communities and always will be. We fully recognize Tumblr’s special obligation to these communities and are committed to ensuring that our new policy on adult content does not silence the vital conversations that take place here every day. LGBTQ+ conversations, exploration of sexuality and gender, efforts to document the lives and challenges of those in the sex worker industry, and posts with pictures, videos, and GIFs of gender-confirmation surgery are all examples of content that is not only permitted on Tumblr but actively encouraged.
We also want to reiterate some important information from our Support post:
Your content will not be deleted. If your post(s) are flagged under the new policy, they will be hidden from public view and will only be visible to you. You can appeal these flags if you feel your content was erroneously marked as adult content. Upcoming feature changes will also make appeals more manageable for those of you with multiple flagged posts. Your blog won’t be deleted if you’ve posted adult content in the past, and there is nothing you need to do if you have interacted with adult content up until now–it will just be flagged and not publicly viewable. Don’t forget too that you can download your content. It’s yours after all, and we don’t take that lightly.
What is still permitted? We’ve heard a lot of concern about what the policy does not permit, but we want to make sure that you also know what is still permitted:
Written content such as erotica, nudity related to political or newsworthy speech, and nudity found in art, specifically sculptures and illustrations, is also stuff that can be freely posted on Tumblr. Although, photorealistic imagery or photography – images, videos, or GIFs – with real humans that include exposed genitals or female-presenting (yeah, we know you hate this term) nipples or depict sex acts is not allowed per our guidelines.
Examples of exceptions that are still permitted but that you may need to appeal if they are misclassified are: exposed female-presenting nipples in connection with breastfeeding, birth or after-birth moments, and health-related situations, such as post-mastectomy or gender confirmation surgery.
The automated tools will improve. Having a post mistakenly flagged as adult totally sucks; we understand and agree that there have been too many wrongfully flagged posts since we announced the policy change. With tens of billions of GIFs, videos, and photos to review and millions of new posts every day, we really need your help to get it right.
The more you help by reporting content that’s not permitted and by appealing content that you believe was flagged incorrectly, the better our automated tools will get at classifying your posts correctly. The more content these tools review, the more they will learn the difference between what’s permitted and what’s not. Most importantly, your content won’t be deleted if erroneously flagged and all appeals will be sent to a real, live human who can make the appropriate call.
We love Tumblr and the communities that call Tumblr home. You are Tumblr. This place has always been a reflection of the voices and communities that thrive here. As you’ve always done, help us continue to shape Tumblr into the community you want it to be.
why is liking body hair on women considered, like, a weird fetish when it’s literally just.. the female body’s natural form…
men dumb
Why don’t women like smelly men with poor hygiene? That’s just the male body’s natural smell.
are you really comparing grown ass men who don’t take care of themselves to women who refuse compromise their health by unnecessarily shoving???
the stupid really jumps out
Whoosh
@saito-moriyama body hair is not “useless”. eyebrows help keep dirt from falling into your eyes. pit hair wicks away sweat and prevents chafing. pubic hair is vital to vaginal health and can increase pleasure during sex. body hair in general increases your pheromones. and so on.
unlike appendixes, body hair can’t rupture or hurt you in any way. in fact, shaving can cause countless health problems while not shaving can actually prevent them. you’re comparing apples to oranges here.
shaving isn’t “good grooming”. shaving is bad for your health and honestly downright unhygienic. if you shower regularly, wear deodorant, and keep your living space clean, you’re good to go; no need to remove body hair. though i suppose i shouldn’t expect a man with a lesbian ecchi blog to know much about hygeine.
Men will rag on women for not shaving, an entirely unnecessary ritual that serves no hygienic purpose, when they don’t wear deodorant or wash their ass
The appendix is not a useless vestigial organ, either.
I’m really ready for radfemblr to shift from “lesbians don’t like dick” to “lesbians only like pussy”
really ready for dick to not be part of the definition of lesbianism at all
oh, but then the men w pussies will be back in the convo!
lesbians date transmen and transmen can be lesbians, because lesbians are female people exclusively attracted to other female people and transmen are female.
also, they never left the convo. lesbianism and transmasculinity have a rich shared history that continues today and will continue into the future.
