they called themselves with male names, so they were transmen

Those authours would be surprised, but even J.K. Rowling took male name and surname for her first books (and later for crime fiction books, so those are taken seriously). And you know why? Because with female name no one would even consider looking at her books and publishing. And for her crime fiction books to be taken seriously. I guess now JKR is transmen too? According to this article logic. So this means that those TRA who are attacking her - are just transphobic! Hehe.

And same happened in history gazillion of times. If woman wanted to do ANYTHING the only way was is to pretend that she is a man (or to have a lot of money left from dead husband). They were still woman, they were not thinking they are man, they just had no other choice.

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
