we train young girls to ignore their hunger, to walk and stand and sit like ladies, to paint over or cover their pimples and stretch marks and cellulite, and then we are shocked when they grow up and become women who are alienated from their own bodies
people really want to miss the point of this post huh! when you starve yourself to reach a “preferred” body type because the one you have is called ugly; when you moderate every aspect of your movement to fit a feminine ideal; when you perceive harmless features of your face and body as “flaws” that must be covered—that’s being alienated from your physical form! that’s viewing yourself as two you’s, the mind and the body that must be fixed and controlled. that’s my point. not whether or not putting on eyeshadow is enjoyable for you personally. practice some critical thinking.
The phonetic alphabet was developed as a way to spell things out over radio communications that may be less then ideal, I.E. a lot of static or weak signal. All the words were chosen because they have a distinct sound that is easy to pick out. Military and police communications use the phonetic alphabet heavily and can be helpful to know for talking over CB’s or FRS (walky talky) radios.
I’m sorry guys, i had to
I cannot fucking believe it is the yEAR 2017 GOD DAMMIT
No. Just no. The NATO phonetic alphabet should not be used like this.
The worst thing is, he’s dragging more people along with him. He started a whole chain reaction of the tumblr transmed community getting radfemified and I’m just tired.
Anon can join the depressingly long list of people who have been insisting that I’m gonna just stop being trans ever since I became a radfem.
Anon, I’d love to reidentify. I can’t medically transition, hell I can’t even bind properly 99% of the time, the prospect of spending the rest of my life as a pre-t trans man isn’t all that appealing. I haven’t reidentified yet because I’m fucking d y s p h o r i c and I wouldn’t be able to cope, not at my current level of dysphoria at least.
And hey if I’m “dragging people along with me” that might be because I make good points? That’s a… positive…. thing.
🙄🙄 reblog if evil terf discyours brainwashed your feeble mind into the radfem cult 😪😪 it was all his fault I was dragged down 😫😫
hey babes its me, one of those “poor transmen” who is lucky enough to be able to reidentify~
whether its through the combined positive effect of radfem female positivity and my own hypermanagement of my dysphoria, or just a natural fade
its gone away!
fuck you for making it out as if im supposed to suffer forever, as if nothing can ever change!
the only person making me feel guilty for being who i am is you, anon and dasha and everyone like you
fuck your “pity”
If you can identify out of it without negative consequences, you were never trans in the first place.
“Trans” is a diagnosis, not an identity.
Die mad about it.
Awfully convenient that all of the trans people who learn how to live with their dysphoria and detransition arent “REAL” transes 🤔 Isn’t that just super duper convenient? Why are you gate keeping?
Only treating dysphoria with transition is like treating every single instance of depression with the exact same drug.
We should try alternative treatments to homosexuality next!
Homosexuality is not a diagnosis, moron. It’s a sexuality and gay people don’t need doctors to confirm their gayness, nor do they need medical intervention to affirm their gayness. They just ARE gay. No modifications, no intervention necessary.
I dont claim to know why other dysphoric people have dysphoria, but I do know that when I suffered with it due to the fact I am a victim of CSA, treating the trauma proved to be more helpful to my dysphoria than medical transition ever would be.
If you actually gave a fuck about dysphoric people (which you don’t. It’s all about validating your individualistic world view with you lot) you’d accept that medical transition is not always the best treatment for the issue and that putting it forward as THE ONLY treatment is small minded, selfish and damaging for dysphoric people.
Lesbian pride flag-themed icons for radfems. The top ones are based on the most common lesbian flag and the bottom ones are based on the labrys flag. Enjoy! ❤
If these offend you, then pick up a dictionary and look at the words ‘lesbian,’ ‘man,’ ‘woman,’ and ‘homosexual.’ If these still offend you, seek therapy, because you aren’t prepared for the real world.
Everyone’s like “when you stop being dirt poor you’ll start liking capitalism” and now that I’m actually able to survive and have some financial security I’m like, “nope still have long term memory and still want to Eat The Rich”
AKA: you don’t have to be the one suffering to want to end suffering
Further proof that to be TERF is to be misogynistic as hell.
They aren’t even pretending they aren’t perpetuating myths about women being worse than men at everything. They’re just straight up ignoring the achievements of female athletes, trans AND cis, to pretend that being a man makes you better at things.
Like… yikes.
Welcome to science class, I know, “yikes” says the child.
Ohio University biological sciences lecturer Chris Schwirian : “Men, on average, have a greater muscle mass – and a larger portion of it is fast-twitch, which allows them to generate greater force, speed and anaerobically produced energy. At all distances beyond 800 meters, the main reason for the gap is men’s higher aerobic capacity [VO2max], on average, which is due to their typically having less body fat, more hemoglobin and muscle mass, and larger hearts and lungs than women.”
On average, men have longer and larger bones, which gives them mechanical advantages overwomen, since they have greater leverage, increased height and larger frames to support muscle. Their bones are also more dense, and they have tougher ligaments, making them less prone to sports injury.
Men are bigger and have more muscle mass.
It’s not rocket science, it’s human biology 101.
The skeleton is different as well. Which is why archeologists can tell if a person was a man or a woman without looking at their genitals. Your sex is not just your genitals, it’s your whole body. If a healthy man and a healthy woman train the same way the man is still going to develop more muscle mass.
Intense sport training also tends to stop girls’ growth (especially in gymnastics). Which means female athletes are often quite small in height therefore the size difference between men and women is even more important in sports.
On the other hand, women are more flexible ; if a man and a woman train the same way, the woman will be more flexible. Still using figure skating as an example, the best and most flexible male figure skater in the world still won’t even come close to women’s flexibility.
That’s sex differences for you. Doesn’t take away anything from both athletes, both are capable of being great. But the reason women and men are seperate in sport is because they are not equal biologically. “not equal” does not mean there is a moral value attached to it. Women can menstruate, men can’t. Not equal. Men’s shoulders are placed higher than women. Not equal.
Your politics allow for men who would never win anything if they were to compete against other men, to steal the victory from women and to put them in danger.
The misogyny is destroying women’s sports and putting them in danger.
Yeah actually, it’s something I talk to my therapist about a lot, and it’s something we acknowledge every day in class, and something we’re studying at work. Every day I go battle with some stage of grief, and I mean that. It’s always in the back of my mind. I always come back to Aldo Leopold’s quote from A Sand County Almanac:
Still, I hold onto hope. I don’t know what it’s going to come down to, but the majority of people in the world are suffering because of the minority, and I won’t give up on humanity. We don’t deserve this fate any more than the trees and the animals. I’m not giving up!
