When Shatner is now a voice of reason against TRA on the internet. He used the words woke and craycray. I am dying as the cool kids say! by [deleted] in GenderCritical

I follow him too after seeing a post of his being lambasted by TRAs. They at least are useful in finding me new people to follow

Correct. As in most groups, slurs are created by those outside the group to denigrate group members.

I think I might be missing your point. I censored myself for the respect of the sub only, as the rules say no slurs. Personally, I say you should say whatever the fuck you want.

That's a good point about it not being accurate. It doesn't bother me because usually whoever is saying it has no actual analytical skills, but I am tired of seeing it in the media and it being the only thing people know about radfem

Private, invite only, women's health subreddit gets banned after 3 days for secretly talking about periods. by Pixie_Waifu in GenderCritical

[–]RuminatingOracle 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

They also banned gc_woc, which I joined after gendercritical was banned. It had maybe 1500 people, went private, and got the axe

Debunking of the shitty SciAm article 'Stop Using Phony Science to Justify Transphobia' by womenopausal in GenderCritical

[–]RuminatingOracle 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

This is a great summary and I agree you should post it in other online forums. The original article is frequently used to "disprove" sex when it does nothing of the sort, and a study instead of an opinion piece. Also, most of the people using it read the title and an article on it and decided it meant whatever the hell they wanted it to me.

Hey, I did that! Here's the website if you want to read more. It's a work of genius, just sad it isn't up to date https://devonunsilenced.wordpress.com/2017/01/01/first-blog-post/?fbclid=IwAR2xbxXoEwM_FP2d9mqejZbl-ycHYUXcJ9gZ_Ip39cw5F4YGiEBGYSmoeHQ

We make it look easy because we are strong as fuck. They wouldn't be able to handle real women's lives.

I see that. And I would have been parroting TWAW in the past too. The absolute filth that has been piled on women from TRAs has changed my mind.

Yup, gc_woc is gone. They set the sub to private during the last ban wave. Just tried to get in there today

Why do so many women fall for this bullshit? What do they get out of being a handmaiden?

I'm tired of it too. Told my husband I was maybe a radfem and agreed with GC and he jokingly said that he didn't know he married a transphobe. Yes, it was actually a joke and when I explained why I was examining feminism he got it. His answer was that he didn't know what I experienced as a woman so he had no place to judge and would support me in every way he could.

I first began my journey when I was trying to have a baby. I had two miscarriages and needed to use "the abortion pill" to clean out my uterus. This was about the time when pharmacists stopped prescribing these drugs based on their religious opposition in the US. I was infuriated- how dare these (mostly) men think they had the right to make women suffer? Without that medication that I could use at home, I would have been forced into a D&C (chance of scarring) or wait for the fetus to pass naturally (a horrific thought since I was mourning the loss of my pregnancy)

The injustices didn't stop once I got pregnant- I had to see an additional doctor because my age made me high risk. That doctor disregarded my health for the sake of my child. I didn't get sufficient painkillers after my emergency c section because Advil less than a day later should have sufficed and "was I really in pain? I was stigmatized by having anxiety problems in the past and my baby kept in NICU too long.

All of these issues made me finally realize that the rules are made by men and we have little autonomy. Like many women, I suffered other health problems that I was told were no big deal or that I was exaggerating.

I want to be part of a feminism that cares about me first, that puts me first.

I give little thought to trans people in my everyday life. I think they should have rights like everyone else and should not be persecuted for who they are. I don't give a flying fuck about pronouns. I do object to having hate piled on me for wrongthink for knowing that a trans woman is not a woman, and will never understand my experiences. There is something about natal women's communities that is key to my life, and I need those spaces to exist. Where I can admit that my first sexual experience was against my will, and i kept quiet for fear I would be blamed.where I can admit tons of other things and not be judged.

Sorry for the word salad- I didn't think I would write this much I til i started. I guess it needed to come out. I was a lurker on Reddit but I know it's time to start participating.

Thanks to all of you for being here and speaking your truths.

Got banned for literally telling the truth and linking to another subreddit by Jekawi in GenderCritical

[–]RuminatingOracle 7 insightful - 2 fun7 insightful - 1 fun8 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

It means they are extra "woke" and at the same time, nothing at all since words have meaning.

Most people do feel like this when you see them IRL. It's a bunch of virtue signaling to claim you'd have absolutely no problem dating a transwoman...but they never do.

I also remember when you could have "wrong" opinions and not be banned. That's the Reddit that introduced me to GC, not this TRA circlejerk

Are you gonna vote this November or nah? by joy1090 in GenderCritical

[–]RuminatingOracle 7 insightful - 1 fun7 insightful - 0 fun8 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I plan to. It's important to remember there are a lot of local races that affect our lives more than the presidency. I'm voting Biden as an unenthusiastic yes. I think he is a centrist and won't commit to endorsing fringe views. He is problematic as well, but I honestly believe four more years of trump is way worse.

When you break down GC and tell normal people (not on the internet) that what we are saying is that you can't jumble up your chromosomes on a whim, it makes sense. The cancel culture amplifies everything so you forget it's actually a small group of people who really are TRAs IRL.

Bizarre doublethink going on in r/JKRowling by [deleted] in GenderCritical

[–]RuminatingOracle 12 insightful - 1 fun12 insightful - 0 fun13 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The GC people, or the ones who at least agreed with JKR formed another sub to discuss her called r/JoanneRowling. It was a great place with reasonable discussion. It was banned too, under the guise of ban evasion. It existed for at least three weeks before the ban wave came.
