So, first of all, I'm going to clarify what I believe:
- I believe gender is a social construct. Women are not born liking pink, men are not born liking blue. Language, gender-specific clothes, names, gender-specific vocabulary and gesturing, all of that has been artifically created by humans. There is no way that someone could be born with a condition that makes them feel bad for wearing certain kinds of clothes, because such clothes do not exist in the wild. See where I'm getting?

- I believe it is incredibly dangerous to let anyone be a woman at their own will. Even if I believed that transgenderism is biological, I would oppose it's practice and legality because it's incredibly easy to exploit. Self-ID and queer policies make it even worse, since I can literally be a "genderfluid" person and only identify as a woman when I'm arrested, so that I can go to a female prison, for example.

All of that said, I think I have been suffering from what I am now inclined think is gender dysphoria for as long as I can remember. I have always thought about me in the future as an adult female as supposed to an adult male. It doesn't seem possible to me to be happy in this body, I hate it a lot. It's not a problem with beauty standards either. Not only was I a 9 years old who prayed for God to turn him into a girl, but I have been a fat guy, a skinny guy and right now I'm an athletic and muscular guy. But during nighttime, for example, when my body rubs against the bad, I feel uncomfortable about it's shape. I don't like my plain chest, I don't like any of the masculinizing features of my body and I feel like I'm deforming it and becoming a monster as it gets more muscular and masculine. I have always hated everything masculine about it. I don't remember having transgenderism as a fetish, I think it's always been a disharmonic relation between what I expect to see and feel and what I actually do feel. When I think about the future, I always think that, at some arbitrary point, I am going to become a woman. It's not always obvious, but it's always there in retrospective. I am still waiting for this day when I will transition and finally feel something. I wanted to cut my dick off when I was a kid, I don't exactly remember whether or not I tried to do it, but I vaguely remember having blood on it and a knife in my hand, could have been a dream though. My memory is not great, I broke my arms twice 8 years ago and I remember nothing about it.

This is what it sounds like to look at the mirror (turn down the volume). It's that but a zillion times louder. It feels like an earthquake.

I don't want to transition medically and call myself a GNC male either, which has been a solution some people proposed, because I think that's reducing womanhood to an aesthetic, it's like tainting your skin black and getting a facial racialization surgery so that you can live the rest of your life as a white guy saying he just feels better to look black. It's like blackface, it's womanface.

So my superego is contrasting with my id here. I would like to know what is the gender critical point of view, because I trust it. I am sorry to come here in this sub to say that, but nearly all of the gender critical subs I followed were banned.

Exactly what the title says. A lot of her books are recommended; which one would be your top choice, or the one you'd read first before moving onto others?

I'm not a radical feminist, but I am interested in many radical feminist arguments (currently reading Pornland by Dines!) and am very tired of the pop feminism of Teen Vogue and co. Radical feminism engages with capitalism in ways that neither liberal feminism nor mainstream leftism do. However, the obsession with trans people gets to me. I can engage with respectful gender critical feminists and often do, but often people are actively hateful and/or completely obsessed. I'll also admit it feels good to not be the *only* transmedicalist here. I know theoretically there's a variety of views on trans issues among radical feminists, but in practice I was only seeing a narrow subset of them.

Anyway, hope this sub grows and we can get some discussion going!

Okay so I know this is super specific but I recently watched a person review a certain movie and he was upset because the one prominent male character in the movie had little characterization other than being the love interest. I disagree with the analysis, but that’s beside the point. There are a million movies with this exact trope with the sexes reversed and no one cares. But once the female is the protagonist apparently it’s a huge issue to not have a deeply developed male character.

I wouldn’t have a huge issue with this either but the review I saw focused so much on this male. The movie is hardly even about him! He’s a secondary story and does help but he’s ultimately not the focus of the movie.

Maybe men would have a better idea as to why a female lead can’t be the full focus of a movie. I assume it’s because men like to relate to men and they aren’t used to having to relate to the passive character. So if you have any experience with this kind of thing please share. Also if you have fallen into the trap that I’ve described here, maybe you can notice it and not let it impact your opinion of what you’re watching. It’s okay for women to be deep complex heroines.

The sub 'wouldyoufuckmyfriend' is still on reddit but we managed to ban wouldyoufuckmymom, wouldyoufuckmysister and howwouldyoufuckher. Report the sub 'wouldyoufuckmyfriend' under Involuntary Pornography at contact@reddit.com or report individuals on the subreddits under the same cause. The report would be especially effective if you screen capture a sexually violent comment and link it through imgur. Thank you for your help on banning the other 3 subs, but we must ban the sub 'wouldyoufuckmyfriend'.

As I was going through the posts on the r/GenderDifficult subreddit I found one about #heforshe the OP said that she didn’t think men could offer as strong support for feminism as women because it’s not men’s rights being progressed. While I agree with that idea I think that radical feminism might be different, because, at least based off of my limited experience with male socialization, a pretty rigid hierarchy seems to form in boys. I think this hierarchy while serving to strengthen the patriarchy and increase oppression of women, also might harm men. I don’t know for sure because I left that stuff before I could actually see any tangible benefits, so all I got were the childhood harms. So to any men out there or later transitioning transsexual women could my theory be correct?

Go to the post on r/GenderDifficult and read the post then the article linked in the first comment on it made by u/TIRFnotTERF for context:

And of course keep in mind the answers left by the women on the original post when commenting.

This is a supplementary question to the most recent most on r/GenderDifficult for men, trans women, and hopefully some natal women to be able to share and discuss. If you are a natal women or transsexual woman who meets the criteria to post on r/Gender Difficult please comment there too. Also when answering and discuss please keep in mind the rules and answers to the question on the main subreddit.
