I would really fucking love it if we stopped idolizing cis-feminists who think being trans-inclusive is bad for cis women.
I really fucking would. The latest in this line of cis-feminists I’ve noticed is Raven, aka unknowable woman. By asking for trans-inclusive language we’re being mean to women.
This is her response to people being upset with a poster that had a uterus on it and a slogan about women:
God fucking forbid women have one thing of their own in this world. We can’t write about ourselves, we can’t speak about ourselves, we can’t advocate for ourselves even within our own so-called “social justice” spheres without someone telling us to shut up about our own experiences.
That’s right folks, us mean ol’ trans folk are silencing women. How bout that! Even though trans folks like me are active and vocal in the pro-choice movement, which benefits cis women, we really should just shut up.
But, no, we have to love her because she got into a battle on twitter with Ryking. And I mentioned this to someone once, that I distrust cis-women in social justice, feminist, and pro-choice environments more than cis-men sometimes, because when cis women pull the ‘we’re being marginalized by you!’ card a lot more people listen. And I got called a misogynist. Which, incidentally, is apparently what we automatically are because we don’t want people telling us that a uterus makes you a woman.
This stuff, this is why Die Cis Scum is a phrase that exists. Because if we dare to talk, we’re silencing women. And when they say ‘women’, you bet your ass they only mean cis women.
Fuck cis people man, I am fucking done with your shit.
DIE CIS SCUM lol
this is a disgusting post
Raven’s point is 100% valid and correct. The laws that are being put into place are a direct attack against women. The people fighting against reproductive rights and women’s health are not thinking about the trans community what so ever, only cis women.
Really now? Okay, you really think that trans people aren’t aware of the fact that the anti-choice legislation is only thinking of women? That their close-mindedness restricts them to think that people able to give birth = women?
THIS DOES NOT MEAN that we should have to be erased by cisgender feminists.
Let’s LOGIC here:
Anti-choicers think that only women can get pregnant and/or get an abortion.
So CLEARLY the solution to this is to be JUST AS CLOSE-MINDED as the anti-choicers.
Great thinking!

i’m reblogging this so i can say that i don’t really know what any of this shit is and i don’t even want to know because it’s easier being ignorant because then i don’t have the worry about who i’m offending every two seconds
people just love having something to be all high and mighty / complainy about
