God I'm so Sick of Talking About Trans - Remember Women's Issues??

chrysthefeminist · 2020-07-07T15:57:38+00:00

Yes, trans issues are a giant energy suck. Energy suck has always been one of the main ways by which men prevent women from making progress out of our oppressed, secondary state. If they succeed in getting us to expend energy on trans issues then they have won, even if we're totally not buying the trans ideology.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-08-10T20:49:45+00:00

My friend denied this saying simply, "but they are women".

Mary Daly named this aptly - The Strategy of Biggest Lies. Men have been using it for ages.

And we're not supposed to think of them as enemies. Terrible truth - Women give birth, in large numbers, to their own enemies.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-07-27T18:01:44+00:00

"Transgender" people set themselves up for failure in dating by "identifying as" the sex that they're not rather than the sex that they are. People who want women want women, not a man who "identifies as" a woman, and people who want men want men, not a woman who "identifies as" a man. By setting their sights on dating those who are NOT attracted to the sex which they are, they set up their own failures.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-07-26T20:33:18+00:00

And why do men always feel so comfortable defining womanhood?

Their most revered religious tracts, the Old Testament of the Christians / the Torah of the Jews, dating from far earlier than the birth of Christ, defined women as the second created, who were created solely as companions and helpmates ("meets") for men. And to this day, as we have seen, men are trying to confine us to that role, as being solely for them and not for ourselves. This is true not only of conservative "religious" men, but of the most "progressive", left wing, atheists, "feminists", "trans women", the whole mess of men. This shows the human male sex is completely irredeemable, and we'd really be better off without them.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-08-12T01:22:48+00:00

How does the same thing not apply to womanhood?

Double standards.

'' Don't worry honey, I'm betting that trans men don't want to have anything to do with your nasty ass. ''

What's so great about "growing your clit"? How does it affect sensitivity? The clitoris is densely packed with nerve endings. The same amount of nerve endings in a larger space would seem to translate into a loss in sensitivity.

Our bodies are built to nurture and the instinct to protect the young seems to be built into our genes.

I'm female and after a lifetime of exposure to males and their attitudes I'd rather flush male young down a toilet than "protect" them.

Those women are cuter than trans women!

chrysthefeminist · 2020-07-20T03:37:37+00:00

I actually found her pov rather refreshing. It is sobering that some women would find it "offensive" and actually feel strongly enough about it to write a post condemning it. I've read a lot of second wave literature about male violence against women, so I'm not exactly ignorant of the subject and I do take precautions. I think the depressing thing about how women's vulnerability is usually discussed here is that it is described in extensive detail and the conclusion is basically that we can do NOTHING about it. So it really just engenders female helplessness.

I'm 67, so I guess I qualify as an elder. It was dangerous to be out, and I was naturally very shy, also insecure, so I was in the closet except for a few selected people I knew. When I was young the second wave of the women's liberation movement was in full swing, which is what gave me the courage to live as a lesbian at all. Since my generation was feminist and my parents' was not, I did (wrongly) assume they were outdated and lacking any real understanding of the world, but now I see that belief as illogical. I mean, ask a 20 year old if she thinks she knows more now than she will in 20 years. Anyways, my involvement with the lesbian community was limited, but I did have some.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-08-22T03:16:24+00:00

The answer is nothing. Nothing is in it for women. It can only be understood as a type of lobotomy women have undergone by the programming of women's minds via all the outlets of male propaganda in the society. Their media, their schools, their religions, their professions, psychology, psychiatry, philosophy, everything. Our minds are literally programmed in this society by the ruling class of men the same way they program computers. That's all it is.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-12-01T22:17:48+00:00

Exactly what I was going to say.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-10-06T19:40:34+00:00

"Misogynist" is too mild a term for what that thing is.

chrysthefeminist · 2021-02-20T23:54:39+00:00

The problem isn't how they dress, though they should get their own clothes, not wear their wives'. The problem is that they say they are actually the other sex. Hardly "being themselves."

I didn't trust Clinton from the getgo

She was trying to be a good trans ally during her campaign, but never really understood it. After she lost she hesitantly expressed confusion and doubt about the "womanhood" of "trans women", causing Chelsea to become angry with her. I don't think Hillary likes it any more than we do, she just realized that it was politically radioactive.

who stays with such a disgusting piece of shit like Bill

Millions of women. That's why women never get anywhere.

Also Freeheld.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-10-07T17:26:01+00:00

Both true, but TIFs know more about the male experience than TIMs about the female experience, because every bit of learning and culture in this society is approached from a MALE pov. The oppressed always know more about the oppressor than the oppressor does about the oppressed.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-07-16T00:43:28+00:00

And what a shame to have to expend energy just to keep from expending energy! But every time you refuse to compromise your integrity by calling yourself something other than a woman just to please them, you strengthen yourself more and more in the process.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-12-03T01:40:09+00:00

Apparently not sleeping with a TIM is the same as not being open to dating other races.

Then how come lots of women who date other races won't sleep with a TIM?

The point of the abstract rainbow was it encompassed everyone from the get go, without literally needing to have skin tone colors in it to get the point across.

Yep. The original Rainbow Coalition was headed by Jesse Jackson (Sr) in Chicago and was meant to be a coalition of people of ALL colors fighting for racial justice. They didn't have a flag, but "rainbow" simply denoted all colors of the visible spectrum.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-07-14T18:08:54+00:00

Many women really believe that men are good people and have good intentions towards women. Nuh uh. Towards women, their only intentions are keeping us on the bottom and themselves on top. And the "good" ones let it happen and don't do anything about it, at least nothing that would actually be effective.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-10-14T00:21:36+00:00

They know exactly what men demand of them. Men demand that women fight men's battles for them while they (the men) just sit on their narrow asses and let the women do it for them.

This demand of men that women fight their battles is communicated in many ways, overt and subliminal, from the very earliest days of a girl child's "upbringing" (a more appropriate word would be "procuring.")

But reading it in my native language that I as a lesbian should examine my prejudices against TIMs and give them a chance because they (clearly) are women too seems disgusting even though I've read it countless of times in English.

They're just lesbophobic bigots. And the only thing that's "clear" is that they say they are women. It's anything but clear that they are women.

I think "trans" is a thing because it's less threatening to a lot of men to have people "transitioning" to a new "gender identity" that preserves male invented misogynist sex stereotypes that glorify men and demean women than it is to just smash the male glorifying damn things. The latter they just can't face.

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

Women, including older women (that would be my age group; I'm 67), have also been groomed via "upbringing" from their earliest days to fight men's battles for them for as long as I can remember, maybe more. One would hope that they would finally be able to think their way out of that bag and become wiser, more mature and good women, but apparently not all women can, will (or even want to?) do so. This means that the nurturing, mentoring and upbringing of girls from our earliest years is really important.

chrysthefeminist · 2020-10-13T16:55:45+00:00

I don't think Hillary Clinton was "only" seeking power. I think she was ambitious and wanted to serve too. There is a conversation currently going on on MSNBC about sexist bias in the treatment of women candidates in which they are criticized and undermined for being "ambitious" and "seeking power", while male candidates with the same traits are called "rising stars." Your comment reeks of that sexist bias, exactly. The same thing is being done to the current vice presidential candidates being considered by Joe Biden. If it's a woman, there's always something wrong with her.

Typo or clever pun?

it doesn't prosecute people for doing "sex work" - it concentrates on going after the johns, pimps, traffickers, criminal gangs that control, exploit, beat up, terrorize and otherwise do harm to prostitutes.

I agree with you. I am not convinced by the dismissing of girls like you who played sports and were equal to boys who played sports as "outliers" and "exceptions." Boys are given a lot more encouragement and often instruction and access to equipment than girls are and just about everything needed to develop strength and athletic ability. It's like living in a society where only boys are educated and then saying the fact that they can read and do math better than girls is due to superior intellect on their part. We don't fall for that one anymore, though once it was commonly believed. I think that's the stage we are still at in beliefs about girls' physical abilities and falling for it is doing a number on our heads. Yes, I think males do have an advantage and are stronger on average after puberty, but even that is not set in stone for all time, though that is an entirely different story.

XO is just as female as someone who is XX, coz of the absence of a Y.

Except if the X has a transposed SRY on it. I agree with you, don't want to nitpick, just going by what you said about the SRY, not the Y per se, being determinative. Yes, the SRY gene is normally and mostly found on the Y chromosome, except in the case of rare transpositions to the X.

And she just shrugged and said well she grew up with two brothers, so it wasn't a big deal to her. Women who are really comfortable living with men and sharing toilets with them don't seem to care.

That's pretty dumb. Doesn't she realize public unisex bathrooms are NOT like the bathrooms at home, which are usually single occupancy anyway? And that she won't just be sharing these bathrooms with her brothers but with the entire male general public of strangers, with all its' rapists, voyeurs, sex killers, etc etc etc?

Every envelope I get asking for a donation from here on out gets the return envelope back with no money but instead a note promising them a donation if they start advocating for women against trans-rights activism. So far I've done this for the ACLU and for PP. It's only a matter of time before the DNC sends me another letter begging for money. They'll get a note too

That's a great idea.

I don't see any "personal attack" in what I said. I noted that you were saying the same thing about Hillary as was generally used as a (sexist) criticism against female candidates, but not male - that they are power seeking. Maybe I shouldn't have said "reeking" of sexist bias, but I still see your comment as very similar, maybe identical to, the usual takedowns of women. It's funny that you're so hot under the collar over it, like I'm trying to take away your right to make "your decisions" and hate Hillary if you want to. I couldn't care less. But you sure didn't convince me that your criticism of Hillary was any less sexist than I originally thought it might be.
