Oh my god. Exactly that. Imagine telling women - nay, even girls - coming from an extremely oppressed place to begin with, that because DUH they are WOMEN (natal, biological, whatever dumb word needs to be attached...) according to the TRA movement you can just "identify" as a man and that's that! Whoop whoop! No more FGM. No more harassment. No more misogyny. No more child marriages. It's fixed now! It's just ALL gone because you decided you're a dude one day. I mean my fucking god?! If THAT had been the answer all along I think we'd all be "dudebros" by now. Funnily enough, that nonsensical logic doesn't EVER go the other way around (where women would be taken seriously when they acted like women, looked like women, had their vulvas and boobs, and just proclaimed they were MEN now). It does NOT work the other way around. Rachel fucking Dolezal much?!

But we are inherently different biologically and we have been treated differently for centuries because of these biological (factual!) differences. The oppression of women hasn't happened because some people ~felt~ like women. It's because they (we!) WERE and still ARE women. It hurts my heart to think there are these proper second-wave feminists out there - waiting for our support, our understanding, our sisterhood - and these goddamn libfems are only thinking "well, I suppose a dick is as feminine as anything. Yay! Oppression is gone!"

UGH. Is there any radfem movement/organization that is trying to make amends with our oppressed sisters elsewhere? Libfems just seem to say "I like, can't, like, know how you, like, feel so, I like, wear a hijab because feminism, like, yay? Also femaledick like, so openminded like I can't even. Dicks before anything! I am so feminist! Hashtag TWAW! Wow! I changed the world!"

I CAN'T TAKE THIS SHIT. I am livid, in fact. I am done. I want change. How do we change?!
