He got to "present female" by Chunkeeguy in GenderCritical

Ha, just what I was thinking. I'm "presenting female" sitting here in a ratty old t-shirt and pajama pants. I don't even own any garters or skirts or makeup. And I have never been misgendered. Weird.

This guy again! And he's crying even more this time, for some reason...? by [deleted] in LGBDropTheT

It's narcissistic/incel logic - I should be allowed access to anyone's body I choose and if they fail to provide that access they are in the wrong and must be punished.

It's infuriating to see it framed as a human rights issue.

PS - I will never be okay with dick, gay men should not ever have to be okay with vaginas, and no one owes anyone access to their body. Goddammit, it's so simple.

Peak trans: tell your story here by Sittingonarainbow in GenderCritical

Excellent post. I was nodding in agreement so much as I read it.

For me, the first few steps toward peaking came from realizing that, seemingly rather suddenly, there were all these new gender categories (and like hundreds of new sexual orientations), and the intense pressure to assertively respect and validate each and every one of them. But it was working with several transpeople in a professional capacity that made it clear to me that much "lying TERF scare mongering" (predatory behavior) was actually really true and was actually really happening.

I don't really know where to go from here, because I still empathize with those transpeople who are just honestly trying to find peace and aren't bothering anyone and I certainly don't think they should be mistreated. But they aren't the ones raping women in prison or ruining the lives of every woman who won't suck their "girldick."

Eventually they'll just call women numbers to make it even less gendered by russkayacabbage in GenderCritical

So ridiculous. I laughed at this, but I am really fucking angry about it, too. I'll be damned if I ever refer to a mother as a "birthing person."

So RIP the Subreddit that saved me from being trans. by blahblahgcer in GenderCritical

I've thought about this a lot. I had the same experience of being sort of horrified by menstruation and pubic hair and being unhappy when it happened to me. I had a sense that I was too young for that, that I wasn't ready for womanhood. (Of course I wasn't - I was 10. It wasn't about gender. Puberty is gross and scary for everyone.) I was also a tomboy and really pissed off that I couldn't play baseball and that people kept trying to get me to wear hot, scratchy dresses.

If I'd been born in 2000 instead of the 70s, there's no telling what might've happened to me. For the life of me, I don't understand why the progress stopped and we're moving backwards and enforcing gender norms so hard now that any kid who plays with toy cars is a boy and any kid who plays with dolls is a girl. That is some 1950s bullshit.
