And She Was So Kind About It Too! I Saw Her Original Announcement On Her Story And She Was So Polite

And she was so kind about it too! I saw her original announcement on her story and she was so polite and kind in how she explained why she’d chosen to make it a single-sex space. And all she’s gotten is some absolutely nasty responses.

It doesn’t matter how kind we are, how much we obediently, tearfully explain how our bodies have been violated a thousand times over, how much we debase ourselves and “check our privilege!” and educate ourselves and “listen to other people’s experiences!” they will still display a disturbing level of hatred and threatening language. I follow some trans creators because I try to keep an open mind, but I had to unfollow one (TIF) because he made a video saying that he’s going to show up and frighten everyone there with his appearance and behavior because, “I’m biologically female and you said you wanted me here!”

I get it. Being excluded can hurt sometimes. But that doesn’t mean you’re entitled to spaces, or to people’s bodies, to soothe that hurt. No, this is not the same as racial segregation. This is a singular, private space in which women, a group of people who suffer immensely, are wanting to gather to support each other and have s respite from a male dominated world. Give me a fucking break. I’m tired of trans rhetoric co-opting racism as their defense and I’ve been told by a lot of women of color that it’s frustrating to them too, and considering the fact that the lovely owner of this gym is a woman of color I can only imagine how invalidating and frustrating this all is to her.

womyn, please, show some love and support to natalee barrett. she’s a black woman who created a gym for women only and after deciding to exclude trans women (for obvious reasons), she has been unfollowed and insulted by trans activists. in the first link below, @/prowomyn on instagram explain the whole situation. the second one is her instagram profile.

The poster is a striking piece of 1980s social commentary. It's dominated by a grainy black-and-white photograph appearing to be collaged onto a larger piece of paper or card. The photo depicts two Black women seated closely together. The woman on the left wears a hat and a jacket. The woman on the right is wearing a coat and a hat. Both women appear to be wearing dresses or skirts under their outerwear. Their clothing styles suggest a casual, yet stylish, look common in the 1980s. The women's posture suggests intimacy and a shared sense of quiet strength. The background of the photograph is blurry but shows what appears to be an outdoor setting, possibly a porch or park bench, slightly dilapidated. The overall atmosphere is one of subdued intensity and longing. The mood is one of quiet defiance and a yearning for acceptance and freedom. Overlaying the photograph are bold, sans-serif capitalized words set in black against the white background that read: "I want to kiss my girlfriend, in public, without fear." This text directly addresses the social and political context of the time, hinting at the struggles faced by LGBTQ+ individuals, particularly women of color, who could face discrimination and hostility for their relationships. The overall effect is a powerful and moving statement about love, equality, and the fight against prejudice.

I want to kiss my girlfriend, in public, without fear. (ca. 1980)

“feminists should be nicer to men or else more of them will join the alt right” that’s strange because it’s never occurred to me to fuck off and join the kkk when a person of color is mean to me. I think if your threshold for being radicalized into a hate movement is as low as “I felt left out and it was mean” you weren’t going to make a very good feminist to begin with

I’m not really understanding what u mean by this? I’m not running my blog to trauma dump my life’s sorrow but I’ve definitely had more than my fair share of horrible experiences including CSA, grooming, conversion therapy, escaping a religious cult, even more SA, and an abusive relationship that included knives being pulled, off the top of my head. I’m just not out here to talk about them in gory detail.

“This should be considered a problem for men” like my bad experiences were caused by men, or I myself am a problem for men somehow? The former is true and I do talk about that but again, I’m not here to go into crazy detail or spend undue attention on past abuse, especially in this post which was supposed to be more positive.

Radical feminism, centering women, and worshipping female deities really turned my life around FAST because what do you mean my constant mental health problems are slowly alleviating, I’m making new female friends, I’ve finally left behind the toxic male friends, I’ve applied to and gotten my first management position, I’m gaining weight and muscle, and I’m talking to a lovely beautiful femme all within this year so far. Like I know radical feminism covers very serious issues too and politically life kind of sucks, but life really is beautiful as well when you center women and female-ness among the chaos. I love rad feminism and I love lesbianism.
