Mods will remove opposing opinions that are high on the pyramid of debate in accordance of rule 4b. Such comments may result in a ban. Notes on conduct: no slurs, that includes the T-slur. Acceptable terms are: Trans-identified Male (TiM), transwomen/woman, Trans-identified Female (TiF), transmen/man. Misogynistic slurs like c*nt will be removed regardless of context.

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

Wouldn’t there be a huge sunk cost involved? If you spent 20 years on T and had all the surgeries, it may be easier (even if you have come to terms with being female) to continue to identify as a man. If she likes the way she looks and is comfortable, undoing all of that could open up a Pandora’s box of mental and social issues. Some people may think “going back” isnt a real option for them, especially after surgeries. There was an interview with a detransitioned woman had all the surgeries for years too, and she still looks like a man, and I’m sure that brings it’s own challenges. Even if you are comfortable with yourself, other people go out of their way to make sure you are not if you look different, I don’t blame people for avoiding that. On tumblr at least there seem to be lots of FTMs that don’t detransition because they say it helped their dysphoria, but beyond that no longer drink the kool aid.
