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

Theory: privileged woman + no kids, more likely to = trans-supportive?

I think it doesn't have much to do with not having kids. A lot of child free and infertile women (i'm the latter), are not particularly thrilled with the dehumanizing language of "child bearers" (no, we're women), or "uterus havers" (most of us do, but, there's a word for this, it's...woman..).

Now, the privilege part? You might be onto something there. 95%+ of trans supporting females I know are solidly middle class, and white. There are some outliers (mostly in class, a few in race). Some are childless, but I think it's largely because they can't afford to have children and still be middle class. The ones who do have children can afford to have a parent stay at home, often. To give you an idea.

(btw, i dont care why people choose not to have kids. not wanting to change your lifestyle? legit. i'm just noting a trend here)
