this is not a debate sub! We will get around to making the debate sub for anyone with questions about gender critical ideas or radical feminism. We are migrating over from Reddit after the bannings.

Female is Not a Feeling. We won't go down quietly.

Re-forming wherever we can: Spinster.xyz

Feminism is the movement to liberate women from patriarchy. We stand up for the rights of women to control our own bodies as individuals and to control women-only spaces as a class.

Women are adult human females. We do not believe that men can become women by 'feeling' like women. We do not condone the erasure of females and female-only spaces, the silencing of critical thinking, the denial of biological reality and of sex-based oppression. We oppose the 'cotton ceiling' and the pressure on lesbians to have sex with men. We resist efforts to limit women's reproductive autonomy. We condemn the men who exploit and abuse women in prostitution and pornography.

"Women do not decide at some point in adulthood that they would like other people to understand them to be women, because being a woman is not an ‘identity.’ Women’s experience does not resemble that of men who adopt the ‘gender identity’ of being female or being women in any respect. The idea of ‘gender identity’ disappears biology and all the experiences that those with female biology have of being reared in a caste system based on sex." - Sheila Jeffreys, Gender Hurts

I agree about the tactful thing. We want to win the war, not the battle. It won't do you any good to get cancelled over this. You don't know if your professor will hold this over you or if your classmates will refuse to work with you. In that case, keep emailed notes and tell someone and if they give you unfair grading later or they label you as a troublemaker you have a paper trail. I hope you have your own support circle in college. Since you've already outed yourself, the safest course of action would be to just leave it as everyone has the right to their own opinion and refrain from saying anything else when that topic arises.

Just know that you're in the right. It's disrespectful to tell a woman that her womanhood is an identity that can be assumed especially by a male. Or that kindness means she has to consider abstract male feelings in her every action and thought lest they offend a male or make them feel unsafe.
