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. 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.

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 know its been discussed before, but I need clarification again - why is Transgender so much different than someone saying they are Transracial? I understood before - gender is not biological, etc. but now with the blurring of biology within this ideology I am confused with this argument.
