So trans women aren’t female…. Well that a load of shit.
Nope, transwomen are male (sex), y chromosome and all. Gender identity, hormones + surgery doesn’t change that.
That’s ignorant and hurtful
It’s biology, it’s not there to harm you, unlike gender.
By that logic transmen are okay in your “female” only safe places but not transwomen…. Do you not see how ridiculous that is!
Transmen are affected by female socialization, and female body issues, and are targets of misogyny up until the point of passing. if they want to be included in female spaces they should be allowed, if they don’t, they don’t have to.
Sex based oppression exists, we should be allowed to have separate spaces to discuss those issues that affect all females, regardless of gender identity.
I agree and a transwoman is no less a female than you. In fact in a way they are more so being as they have to fight for there right to be seen as female and weren’t born into it. I’m tired of people excluding others based on there own beliefs and then turning around and making it seem as if the excluded party is the one causing the issue.
Males are not females and they will never be.
Women are allowed to have spaces to themselves.
Would people stop with the transwomen are more women than women bullshit, yet another go-to insult when they cannot respond effectively to an argument?
It’s nauseating, false, and beyond offensive that you would try to wrest from my hands the girlhood and womanhood I’ve suffered since the day my parents got the ultrasound and it was discovered I had a vulva.
My asshole is more capable of critical thinking and logical deductions than these folks.
I don’t always reblog these kind of debates because I know it can be triggering for my more sensitive followers, but this is actually a discussion I’ve brought up on a facebook group I’m a part of for feminism, as a transgendered person.
Community spaces are important. They are very, very, VERY important and I would argue that the lack of community inclusion is an extremely legitimate issue and a big factor for ongoing dysphoria for even those post-transition (aside from societal factors, of course). Communities wherein both biologically female and female identifying people can gather together, share their lived experiences, and feel unity with one another is such a massive part of our mental health and in gathering strength together against one oppressive force. If there were a group of biological males I could sit with that would welcome me as though I was entirely and irrevocably on the same level as them, that would arguably bring down my dysphoria greatly and make me feel more wanted and in place in the world.
However, spaces for only afab people also need to exist. There is a specific type of lived experience that comes with that, that is unique to them. This is also similar to how we need trans only spaces. We need spaces that are only for lots of people, only for jewish, only for those with disabilities, only for intersex people, only for people of specific ethnicity, only for lesbians, only for gays. We need these spaces that are, technically, “exclusionary” to exist, because these are all groups of people with lived experiences that are very specific to them. I have multiple types of chronic illness and it mirrors many symptoms of cancer, but I do not have cancer, and I would not go into a group for people who only have cancer talking about how similar I am to them and how we have the same issues to a tee– we don’t. But, I would go to a group for people who simply face chronic illness in general, where people with disability similar to mine as well as people with cancer can go, and that would be really helpful to me because I could connect with lots of types of people and find unity on a broader spectrum as well.
Biological women wanting their own space is not an attack on us. I’d love to also be in a group for biological women but, hey, if they find me too trans for that and aren’t comfortable with someone like me there, that is their right. This is not a hindrance on the progression of equality and equity, this is a measure taken to help ensure that groups of people can connect with people of the same lived experience. If you can agree that a ciswoman doesn’t know what its like to be a transwoman and the plight that you face, then you should also realize that similarly you don’t know the lived experience of a ciswoman.
I understand the hostility though, I really do. There are so, so many people that are just flatly transphobic and terrible about these things, and there REALLY IS such a HUGE lack of community spaces as well that I do think we are in dire need of. We DO need those spaces where ciswomen and transwomen alike can get together and share experiences, unity, comfort, solidarity. I understand when there is such a lack of that, how being reminded that there are people that don’t want you in these groups that you so desperately want/need to be involved in, hurts. It hurts a lot. But they need that, just like we need trans only spaces. We need our own spaces, for our own specific lived experiences, just as much as we need communal spaces.
I think Steven might be developing a bad connotation with Ruby and Sapphire. In his experience, they only appear when everything’s going to shit.
Like, I want an episode where the Gems casually bring up Ruby and Sapphire, and Steven stiffens up and gets uncomfortable. Garnet notices immediately (somewhat hurt) and asks if something’s wrong. And Steven tries to laugh it off, just pointing out that the only times he’s met them are in the middle of some terrible conflict.
Which results in a day at the boardwalk with Steven, Ruby, and Sapphire. Just a fun casual trip to all Steven’s favorite spots, and the chance for him to get to know them better.
So Steven parades around Beach City with them positively thrilled much to the befuddlement of all Beach City residents because “There are more magical space alien women?? I thought we met all of them. I thought it was just three?? Who are these two?”
And Steven takes great pride in introducing them to everyone, all
“Oh, this is Ruby and Sapphire. They’re normally Garnet.”
“That…I’m pretty sure that’s not Garnet.”
“Not right now! They combine into Garnet.”
“Combine?”
“Combine!”
“Like…they just mush together and then it’s…Garnet?”
Steven joins a rec-league soccer team. The gems become the ULTIMATE SOCCER MOMS, much to Steven’s chagrin.
Ronaldo encounters Jasper, is immediately smitten.
Garnet splits up (FOR SOME REASON) and Sapphire fuses w/ Pearl. Ultimate Sensible Mom attempts to roll Steven in bubble wrap. It is up to Amethyst and Ruby to fuse and form Ultimate Fun Mom and rescue Steven.
Peridot joins Mayor Dewey’s re-election campaign.
The gems go out of town for a week to chase a monster, and Connie pet sits Lion.
11 minutes of Jasper doing shoulder presses in a tank top. Lots of grunting.
Steven and Amethyst fuse and attempt to drink the entire ocean.
Lapis has a nice weekend. Everything is beautiful, nothing hurts.
What she means: The family jewels is the most under appreciated album by Marina and the diamonds. Every single track on the album was quirky and original. Marina didn’t write any love songs on the album and wrote about feeling disconnected from her friends and family. She showed off her vocal ability and range, AND all of the songs were relatable and deep. Also everyone says that “girls” was an anti feministic song, however it was clearly satirical and pro feminist (examples: “never look a day past thirty” “girls are not meant to fight dirty” “not gonna bend over and curtsy”) Everyone in the Marina fandom blogs about EH and froot but like what about TFJ????
If you are going to play the popular web game Agar.io be careful. If you misspell it as agor.io you will be led to a screamer website with a flashing image of Jeff the Killer. It is potentially dangerous to people with epilepsy or people who are prone to seizures. Reblog, it might save a life.
These list the type of bending each zodiac sign would be most likely to use (not necessarily the only type they can use within their element). Inspired by cat-prince‘s post.
Aries: Pure Fire Bending - Aries would mostly rely on pure fire bending due to their spontaneous and daring qualities they take pride in their nation but may lack the patience to master the sub fire type bending, if they do master another bending they would still more than likely rely on their tried and true method.
Taurus: Magma - Taurus would most likely rely on magma due to their hot headed nature and stubbornness anything in their path may incinerated. Magma building also allows for creation of new rock and the slow building of pressure for heating the rock requires the patience that a Taurus so often displays.
Gemini: Spirit projection - Duality is an important feature of the Gemini’s nature, due to this they would easily be able to exist in both the spirit and physical world. This method provides information for the intellectual Gemini allowing them to best figure out a course of action. The change of pace between the two worlds may also help fight the Geminis like for a change of scene.
Cancer: Pure Water bending - Cancers are at time unpredictable which makes water and its ability to exist as both water and ice perfect. The Cancer can also use both its ice solid defense of the hardships the world may bring while also allowing them to flow with the tides of change.
Leo: Redirection (lightning/ fire) - The Leo may perceive himself to be untouchable at times which makes redirection perfect for them as it allows them to avoid being hit by the flames of jealousy (real or perceived) that are flying at them. Their kind hearted nature also at times would prevent them from attacking others personally, but if attacked they may resort to using another persons fire power against them.
Virgo: Pure Earth Bending - Virgo may be able to use one of the other more flashy earth bending styles but the Virgo would only use such “flashy” techniques as a last resort due to their modest natures. Their practicality and sometimes harsh nature also goes along with the earth’s raw power.
Libra: Pure Air Bending - The laid back Libra is a perfect match for pure air bending. Their love of justice and charm allow them to see both the good and bad, and their perception of a person may fluctuate with the change of the wind.
Scorpio: Blood Bending - Scorpios are the more attack oriented of the water signs they are also more associated with more physicality rather than emotion and spirit (not that they do not experience these as strongly as the other water signs, they just don’t express the feeling in these ways as much). Their ambitious and manipulative nature can play into the blood bending and controlling of a body especially with there strong focus.
Sagittarius: Lightning Bending - The Sagittarius’s precision and confidence makes them a perfect match for the lightning ability. Their adventurous nature always pushes them to work harder and to develop this at times hard to learn skill. They should be careful though confidence in their abilities is a good thing but over-confidence could lead to some unpleasant and shocking results.
Capricorn: Metal Bending - The cold and calculated mind of a Capricorn goes hand in hand with the metal bending. The discipline required to master bending metal is within the Capricorn’s wheel house and desire for both practicality and ambitious drive would allow them to create new weapons out of even the strongest metals.
Aquarius: Flight - Flight is an ability only mastered by those who allow themselves to be detached (one of the Aquariuses specialties). This does not mean that the Aquarius is mean, in fact their light hearted friendly nature is one of their defining traits. Flight also allows for the Aquarius to be as independent as he or she may desire.
Pisces: Healing/ Spirit Bending - (Spirit bending and healing are actually the same ability but i felt like I needed to specify both) Pisces like Gemini are a very dualistic sign having hands in both the spiritual and physical worlds. Their compassionate nature and idealistic views make healing the perfect match for the them. Pisces are an emotional based sign making healing not only a physical task for them, but a spiritual task as well. The Pisces manipulative nature can also be seen in the way they would manipulate the healing time of a person.
