Gender Critical Debates Queer Theory

(Including gender identity and other third wave topics!)

This is not a safe space. This space is to to hold discussion for polarizing ideologies. Be respectful.

Some offense is expected.

It is expected you have at least a basic understanding of feminism.

Breaks are healthy! Take care when you need them.

Take precautions against doxxing.

No trolling. This includes bad faith arguments and shit-stirring.

No flaming. This includes telling others to "fuck off", "fuck you", etc. Threads which deteriorate to the point of flaming will be locked.

No harassment of users in this sub or other subs.

No personal attacks. This includes insults, inquiring into a person's appearance or passability, name-calling, and accusations of bigotry/transphobia/fetishism. No nazi comparisons. Try to address ideas, not people.

No misogyny, sexism, racism, homophobia, anti-Semitism, transphobia, ableism, victim blaming, rape apologia, pedophiles, or Nazis/alt-righters allowed.

No downvoting! Downvoting is turned off on SaidIt to allow everyone a fair chance at participation.

Flairs are to help individualize yourself. Please keep them respectful.

Please note you have the capacity to block users. Use it as liberally as needed to maintain your well-being.

The rules about language usage will not be changed. Use of TERF, MTT, FTT, TIF, TIM, and the t-slur and misgendering of other users is not permitted.

Cis is also not permitted. Please use non-trans or other terms in its place.

This sub suggests using "(trans) natal male" or "(trans) natal female" when discussing issues relevant to one's assigned sex at birth.

“Trans Critical or Gender Critical” can be used in place of "TERF".

Please be mindful of how you refer to others' experiences and bodies. Language such as "delusional" or "mutilated" is against the spirit of the sub and is not permitted, as is referring to individuals' genitals in derogatory ways, ie "fuckhole".

Use np.reddit.com if you are linking to a Reddit sub. No brigading! This is a violation of Reddit TOS!

Please make the effort to define your terms when debating. We may not all use words like "sex", "gender", or "trans" to mean the same thing.

Moderation:

Rules are interpreted subjectively, and user input and participation is encouraged.

Permanent bans are instated upon mod discretion.

Rule-breaking comments will be removed; edit accordingly.

Gender critical feminists and transfeminists/activists are not monoliths. Please treat one another with respect and understanding.

I would like for the category "transwomen" and "transmen" to come into wide use and be seen as a separate sex category. I think we should recognize the unique experience of transsexual while still recognizing the fact that actually changing sex is impossible. If transwomen could just be accepted as transwomen and be allowed to be as gender non-conforming as they want and if that becomes destigmatized by society I think it actually helps to move towards our wider goals of gender abolition. I certainly would not force or even encourage people to detransition unless it is something they really want to do. My understanding of it is that most transsexuals did not used to believe they actually changed sex and were just transitioning to try to cope with dysphoria so why can't we go back to that?

The issue of ID is a difficult one though. I realize it makes it easier for you to have your desired sex on your ID but I still consider it dishonest and wrong. Perhaps a solution would be just lessening the number of times people have to show ID with their sex on it in casual situations?
