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

Do you find "people who menstruate" or "birthing people" dehumanizing?

I don't know if you made a typo but from what I've read it's just the opposite. Person-first language ("he has autism" rather than "he's autistic") is meant to highlight our shared humanity. No matter what hardship you face, you are a person first and foremost.

Importantly, this is in direct contrast with intersectionality and identity politics, which make strategic efforts to spotlight group membership based on victimhood. To say that the woke have fallen afoul of the ideals of the original civil rights movements is an understatement; they've completely reversed their tactics. We used to pursue equality; now we flaunt our oppression.

I don't like policing others' language, but it's interesting to think about the political and ideological motivations behind linguistic choices, whether good or bad.
