So there’s another transmisogynistic fuckwad blocked.
Dysphoria?

Dysphoria (from Greek δύσφορος (dysphoros), from δυσ-, difficult, and φέρειν, to bear) (semantically opposite of euphoria) is medically recognized as a mental and emotional condition in which a person experiences intense feelings of depression, discontent and indifference to the world around them.
Please help me understand…if you have...
You know you're a weirdo when...
You pick up a shirt to see if you want to wear it and get distracted by bouncing it up and down on your finger.

Any cis person who gets it in their head to oppose transition and preach of “a better way” needs to be willing to answer the question: “Better for whom?”
Creating a women only space and excluding trans women for not being “woman enough” is like creating a queer space and excluding lesbians for not being “queer enough.”
I’ve transferred $441.54 from Paypal to my bank account - I’ll be writing the check for my surgery deposit this week. Thank you, EVERYONE who has donated so far - your help has been critical in getting me this far along.
Please keep donating - My focus is now changing from my surgery deposit to the overall fee for my SRS!
Transness is not a political position.
tal9000:
Trans people do not all have the same politics.
Trans women do not all have the same politics.
Trans women are not a political movement.
That politically active trans women almost universally oppose Radical Feminism does not mean we’re a single movement or even a hivemind. It means we recognize bigotry against us when we see it.

Target white christian men.
They have the guns.
They commit the crimes.
Terrorists in the US are not brown, they are white, male and christian.

Trans women and DMAB trans people are not a tool...
tal9000:
So men, back the fuck off.
Also, I have to add, we wouldn’t be having this issue in the first place if cis women hadn’t made a big deal about trans women’s presence.
If Mary Daly hadn’t sent death threats to Beth Eliot, if Janice Raymond and Adrienne Rich hadn’t campaigned against Sandy Stone’s work with Olivia, if trans women’s presence in and contributions to women’s organizing for...

Statement on RadFem2012: *All* women together for liberation.
RadFem 2012 is a radical feminism conference being held in London in July. Its website proclaims “women together for liberation”, but as it turns out, they don’t mean all women. RadFem’s participation policy states that the conference is open to “women born women living as women”. This is a change from an earlier...

tal9000:
It did not arise on its own. It is not the natural way of things.
Seriously, what end - legitimate or otherwise - does it serve to treat other women like garbage? Why do radfems pursue this disgusting agenda?
and the youtube comments, of course, sympathizing...

one of them actually said Will is getting older and less hot, and he’d better appreciate anyone who wants to touch him or kiss him.
so is now a good time to talk about how rape culture is a thing that men of color deal with too?
Ooh, don’t get me started on rape culture & the myth that MOC are sexually aggressive in every...
Just a reminder!
If you donate to my SRS fund and specifically want one of the donation gifts, PLEASE mention this in the note field!
I had a very good donation night last night - Received $90 in donations, so only $60 to go until my SRS deposit is met!
Also, getting tired of tone arguments.

To the trans folks opposing Radfem 2012 in London
drunkorexhausted:
You are showing your misogyny. I support your right to trans-only spaces. In fact, I’d go so far as to do what the Quakers did for the Black Panthers during the civil rights movement in the US. The Quakers and the Black Panthers had diametrically opposing politics (like radical feminists and trans activists) but when the Panthers wanted to meet and needed a safe space to do it,...

I pulled Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer out of my bookshelf. I do not understand how Christopher McCandless could not have had a deathwish. Going into the wild without even the most basic orienteering supplies, barely any food, relying primarily on wild plants and whatever game you can shoot? Deathwish.
Personally, I’m more on the side of “delusions of...
Sacred Paths Center is dead.
When there is a new Pagan community center in the Twin Cities (and I believe it’s “when,” not “if”), I won’t be donating if Teisha Magee is anywhere NEAR a position of financial responsibility for it.
