Hey, hey! Friendly reminder to make sure your supposedly “fearless” character gets their darkest fear revealed in the worst way possible so they break down into a vulnerable shaking mess in front of all the people they care about
Trying to reclaim hyperfeminity as a woman is like if Black people trying to reclaim racist minstrel imagery…
you..you read this out before you sent this to me right? I’m sorry for not responding to you previously if that’s what’s got you so worked up but I looked into the book you recommended I read and I’d rather not read a book that has incorrect statistics and’s whole message when you take off the fancy ribbons is just “makeup bad, makeup please men” (and some of the deaths threats I’ve been receiving certainly haven’t helped me respond either)
Hyperfeminity and racist minstrel imagery are very VERY different things, and you trying to compare them just tells me you do not understand hyperfeminity nor do you understand the decades of pain and racism surrounding minstrel imagery.
When I made my original post I was calling out TERFs, not radical feminists (which is why it’s not used). TERFs are toxic, exclusionist, racist, transphobic/homophobic, anti-feminty, and/or just all around assholes where as Rad fems are actual feminists who believe that gender is a social construct and I have no problem with.
When I was reading your response to me you made some valid arguments and it was well written, however, you also compared women to slabs of seasoned meat and as the seasoned meat you’re talking about I’m just here to say. I chose my seasonings because I like them, I chose to wear makeup and I chose to wear short skirts because I like them.
and before you say anything about how I’m “pandering to men” shut the fuck up, it is not my job to tone myself down so men don’t get a hard on in public and try to touch me, it’s their job to control themselves and let me live peacefully. And I would be able to leave peacefully if it wasn’t for TERFs like you who let men get away with abusing hyperfeminity but it’s cause you do let them get away with it that I got my first ‘me too’ moment at 11 when I chose to wear a skirt to school for the first time.
I said it before and I’ll say it again, femininity is not something to turn away as it’s a central part in many women’s lives, nor should we turn away actual feminists just because they want to wear a mini skirt and high heels. The longer we keep this ideology the more dangerous it will become for ALL women, the longer we enforce the idea that any woman who expresses femininity is in some way made for men the harder it will be when we go to fight against S@ and the more normalized it will become.
Oh, and I don’t hate masculine women or gender neutral/gender non conforming women as you claim, they’re all wonderful and many of them are my close friends. My post simply wasn’t about them, easy as that.
I’m not your enemy, but you are very clearly mine if this is truly what you believe.
I hate being the therapist friend so so so much.
Back in high school, I made a quick and dirty DnD-based ttrpg about magical girls that I prepped as a one-shot for my school's DnD club. I showed up on a day when only boys were there and said "Idk what to tell you, I'm running a magical girl game today, and I'm the only DM here," and all five of them played. They were so into it. I had them chanting to activate their powers. Do you know how powerful that makes me feel
MF I MISS U COME BACK >:(((((
I MISS YOU TOO BABY I’M LEAVING SUNDAY SO JUST A FEW MORE DAYS I PROMISE :(((((((
Big problem with online trans discourse is that a lot of people - including other trans people - 100% believe that trans people are the gender we say we are, and that transitioning is not Just A Weird Sex Fetish Thing, in the abstract. Theoretically. But once confronted with actual trans people that dissolves away pretty quickly.
A lot of people out there who try to be trans-positive will gladly believe any accusation of sexual misconduct against a trans person - ESPECIALLY trans women because of the whole "deception" stereotype. "No, no, it's not because they're trans, I just like to Believe Victims," someone will say, despite the fact that any evidence is...flimsy at best - they liked a children's cartoon, they like erotic horror, they like a Bad Ship, they refused to dogpile someone for liking a Bad Ship, they made a joke about their genitals in a strictly adult space, they flirted with someone once (and stopped when it wasn't reciprocated but let's just ignore that clearly they still WANT to and THINKING is the SAME as HARASSING) - oh, they're obviously a predator, and saying that accusation is transphobic is trivializing transphobia!
A lot of people out there who try to be trans-positive will tell transmascs that they're "dominating the conversation" if they're doing ~10-25% of the speaking - which is...even less forgiving than where cishet men will usually see women as dominating the conversation (25-30%). Transmasc exclusionism hinges on this concept. We need to sit down and be quiet like good little girls responsible people aware of the dangers of male privilege because perfectly stealth trans men make 90% of what their cis male counterparts make rather than 80% so clearly there's no difference between us at all! We need to make ourselves small and ~remember it's okay to be feminine~.
It's, uh, how can I put this? Bad.
TL;DR: bisexuals and those underneath the bisexual umbrella deserve more respect than we get considering all the bullshit we have to put up with.
As a bisexual woman I cannot begin to explain all the shit I have heard when I tell people. It’s the fact these are the same people to immediately turn around and begin fetishizing bisexuality, they’ll call a bisexual man all kinds of names and call them disgusting then turn around and ask a bisexual woman for a threesome, it’s disgusting.
The primary reason I don’t use dating apps anymore is because of the amount of straight couples begging me for a threesome and the lesbians telling me that I’m just looking for attention and I should be ashamed of myself. And if the fetishizing wasn’t enough you of course have all the people shaming us and telling us we’re just confused.
For a long time the term “bisexual” or “bisexuality” wouldn’t come up in certain searches when “gay” or “lesbian” and “transgender” would auto fill, and don’t even get me started on all the other bullshit people who identify as the sexualities underneath the bisexual flag have to deal with. (Pansexual, bi-curious, omnisexual, polysexual, etc. I love you and I’m here for you)
This isn’t me trying to say that “bisexuals have it worse!” Or some shit like that, we all have different struggles for different reasons, and those reasons need to be respected along with our struggles and it pisses me off that they aren’t. And do not get me started on what disabled and POC bisexuals have to deal with.
There is no way to win as a bisexual until we tear down the stigma surrounding it, there is nothing unnatural or gross or anything wrong with liking more than one gender and it’s disappointing that posts like these even have to be made.
Honey, get my hunting rifle.
if you think that bisexual women are “actually straight and looking for male attention” and bisexual men are “actually gay and in denial”, I will be hunting you for sport

It makes me so mad to assume that "submissive" women aren't feminists?? Like stfu you don't have to be a gIrLbOss to be a feminists, you can be a pink bimbo housewife doll and still peg the patriarchy
