I googled how many trans people there are. Less than 1%. Why should the rest of us change our diagloge, and other ourselves.... for 0.5% of the entire population?

"Cis women" just sounds stupid. I know the trans community may not love the term "trans woman" but at least there's nothing to be confused over in this context. Meanwhile, "cis" women goes to separate women who are... perfectly normal born female women for.... trans people's feelings?

This is just a pet peeve of mine as of late. It's like the politically expedient thing to do right now is ignore the obvious differences between biological women and trans women. It's so strange to me. Both people are valid, and their experiences are valid imo but it seems silly to insist trans-women and normal women are "the same". Trans women do not have gynecological issues and pretending that's not a real difference in which needs to be acknowledged and accounted for just doesn't make sense to me.

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
