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

Yes. I'm 24, and in a liberal community in a pretty liberal city. I try to focus on actual liberal policies we agree on of course. I just fail to agree and change the subject when trans stuff comes up. I try to talk about my gender critical views as if they're just even FURTHER left than trans stuff -- which they kind of are. The young liberal space is just about one upping each other on radicalism and if you take that tone sometimes you can get away with saying things.

I do believe that down the line the damage and hypocrisy will reach a head and trans stuff will have to give way to a more gender critical approach, at least in the mainstream. Some people will always want their sex change, but at least it won't be 6 year olds that we're teaching about it at school.

Hang in there! Being young means we'll see the day!
