If you're an organ donor, check out the special considerations of your permission form. It should be possible to remove specific organs from the list of donations you're willing to make. Just saying.

No, I am saying we shouldn't intentionally sexualise children.

I am not from the US or America at all so I don't know what you mean. I'm from a very sexually liberal society, but we have to draw a line somewhere.

InvisibleWoman

Do we need to force children to perform these shocking images that will undoubtedly be masturbated to just to make a point?

InvisibleWoman

And women shmemen and girls schmirls. Like we matter...

InvisibleWoman

Oh god oh god oh god I watched that clip and I just wanted it to be over. I need to watch some puppies cuddling or something or wash my eyes with bleach.

Why is it so long? And so explicit? She could have chosen different camera angles, focus on the audience, ANYTHING, over crotch shots of children who are simulating intercourse.

Disgusting. I'm getting off the internet for today.

InvisibleWoman

Absolutely. I've even seen TIMs calling dysphoria PMDD ughhhh

In other words, if you previously had a uterus and then had a hysterectomy, but continued experiencing period pain, that would be phantom period pain. As my brain and spinal cord have never been attached to a prostate, I could never experience phantom prostrate pain, much like these men do not experience any sensation produced by a uterus, and are highly unlikely ever to do so.

InvisibleWoman

Very interesting, thank you for the explanation!

So, according to the author, TERFs are a powerful, organised group of fascist, christian conservatives with significant financial support. I sure am glad I've never met any of these terrifying monsters.

InvisibleWoman

Easy. You are now non-binary! Congratulations!

InvisibleWoman

It is impossible not to notice unless you're in complete darkness and possibly also very drunk.

Also, stealthing as a term comes from something that is generally seen as rape, why would you use it as something desirable unless you were completely brainwashed by rape cultire?

InvisibleWoman

This is always a relevant read

It's very interesting to see that her main source of claims is other instagram posts and social media in general, and not academic writers, considering that she herself is an academic. It tells me how watered down the idea of feminism has become, and what's left by the time it reaches an average person.

There was a time some years ago when I heard a lot of "everybody can be a feminist" in the media and even though I was very young, I was conflicted about the idea. Surely, there are requirements for calling yourself a feminist, surely there are core ideas you must believe, I thought. The entry requirements disappeared and you no longer had to feel uncomfortable abour your ignorance, or feel pressured to learn more. Whatever you were doing, whoever you were, congratulations, you were now a feminist. We truly are living in a post-truth dystopia.

The pro-sex "feminism" just upholds the patriarchy. Funnily enough, she even said in her post, paraphrasing, "rad fems say that sex-positivity supports the patriarchy, but it doesn't!". Like okay I'll just take your word for it that it doesn't then, I guess?

InvisibleWoman

Yeah I will say something, ask her to back up the claims. I just hate losing friends... Thankfully I've made rad fem friends lately otherwise I'd go crazy

InvisibleWoman

Yeah I think I am going to do that. There's zero sources provided for the claims made. I could also say things like that- did you know ornithologists are actually bat-exclusive? They think bats are disgusting and just study birds because they're bird supremacists. They blame bats for all bird problems. We need to stop this cruel bat-shaming. Don't associate with orinthologists!

InvisibleWoman

Oh my god I didn't know that...

InvisibleWoman

Thanks, it's nice to hear that, actually. We keep going, then.

InvisibleWoman

Nobody really commented anything other than a variation of "yas grl" to her...

You're totally right, though, weakened as we are, our community keeps fragmenting. I know we're supposed to be looking forward and finding a way to make ourselves heard and understood but I don't even know how anymore.

InvisibleWoman

There's been a lot of talk about racism in our communities and I wouldn't say it's completely off base either, but then again, a young white woman in a European country saying feminism is about sexual liberation is also being inadvertently racist.

We can all definitely work on trying to understand problems from different perspectives. I wouldn't say we're white supremacists, however .

InvisibleWoman

Totally agree. Unbelievable was amazing. It's based on a book about true events so you can read more about these kick ass women if you are interested.

InvisibleWoman

Anyone feel like dancing naked in the forest tonight? I gotta cast some ill wishes.

“For a lot of trans folks, we experience dysphoria, which for folks who don't know is a word that means a very strong of strong, deep discomfort with either parts of our body, and/or parts of our appearance that align with the sex that we were assigned at birth,"

Emphasis mine. I fully understand not liking the feeling of your hair being too long for your taste. I have short hair too, so I understand the feeling well. But, this kind of "boys have short hair, girls have long hair" thinking is exactly the sort of harmful genderist dogma that's making these people so unhappy. It seems like for many, especially nbies, their dysphoria is based on social perceptions of their sex. Really makes me sad the women who need it the most might never learn about radical feminism.

InvisibleWoman

To be honest I am happier staying far away from any kind of porn, regardless of who's in it. But you make a good point. They even have a special name for this... Who's transphobic now?
