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

Are women more or less likely than to be TRAs than men?

It's the older women who are trans maidens I don't get, especially women in the 55-80 age bracket.

I think there's also a fair bit of ignorance there. My grandmother isn't super progressive, but she was very offended when I said that it doesn't make sense for someone to have a "female" brain inside of a male body because mind-body dualism is a pseudoscientific idea fundamentally based on the premise of a soul.

Then she seemed genuinely shocked when I told her that SRS doesn't actually create a functioning vagina. Apparently she'd believed for decades that somehow surgeons can build the complex structures of the vagina and its related structures and functions (not even counting the organs for reproduction) from scratch when hand transplants are basically at the edge of surgical technology.
