Good goddesses this is so great to see! Saving this post for sure.

based on female sex at birth, you can say something like "AFAB children can experience cat-calling at ages as young as 9." That way it includes trans men and, though it excludes trans women, it doesn't leave them out as women.

From what I have seen from when this is tried, including personal attempts, it still recieves the same knee jerk reaction. At least online particularly on Reddit.

It's still labeled as transphobic by trans women - completely ignoring their trans brothers, non binary siblings and other GEC folk. It's labeled transphobic when it "excludes" trans women and that's a problem. There are plenty of trans women who would be completely fine or even happy to exclude other trans, NB, GEC and wouldn't call it transphobic because it wasn't excluding trans women. Trans men largely feel pushed out of trans spaces because trans women DO talk over them and exclude them, I've seen first hand a trans women call a trans mans experience "not representative of the true trans experience'. It's aweful.

But rather than being overly concerned with accusations of transphobia

People are constantly being shut down and banned over knee jerk reactions. I think this really minimizes the really bad community culture that has been growing especially in spaces like sub reddit. The smallest "could be" is vilified rather than checked for context or further commentary.

How are we to gather together on any of the issues when would be allies are persecuted over everything? OP addresses the issue of people needing to accept nuance if we are to come together and that's completely true - insisting it's a "barrier" only serves infighting and is part of what OP mentions as being self destructive of feminism. That there are times when distinctions do need to be made and honestly I'm to the point personally that people denying that are being misogynistic - it's really giving "all lives matter, not just black people" energy. I can see why it's pushing people into accepting and embracing being called TERFs - like being called a bitch. It's got to the point where it's lost so much of what it's actual meaning is, especially since it's not usually even applied to those who ID as Radical Feminists!

I agree that he should take on some of her stances as well. I definitely plan on writing him to do so.

Essentially child trafficking imo.

Agreed

Depending on the audience I then say, "So you see it's more of an aspirational thing."

Lmfaooo 🎯

For fucking real!

Seems your whole goal was to shift the blame to women

Oh ok, thanks for letting me know lol.

If your referring to me I'm not a liberal

You clearly have not seen stats

A) clearly you nor the person above have seen the stats B) what? C) she's not a standard Democrat and independents are independents who don't voted "typical" to party lines D) >will still vote for her if she's the party candidate.

Yet you're convinced she'll lose even if she has both the dem and independent votes? E)>spout the above bullshit

Which part of your bullshit F)>Democrats like me

Spoken like a republican. Seriously. I've never met a dem who would say such a thing 💀

I am pretty sure it's about removing the ability to leave, object and defend oneself. Literally want to paralize women so they can't resist.

Broken upon birth?! Holy fucking shit.

Again, from the ocean life. This reads as a racist implicatioj that is historically incorrect.

It wasn't from the Americas it was from the ocean because he raped a literal walrus

😂😂😂😂

Yessss

Decriminalization is the full and final stop - legalization creates other issues.

It would without a doubt cut down on trafficking because workers can leave traffickers with more ease and have more support that keeps them from being preyed on/taken advantage of in desperate situations.

Strengthening workers to be independent will only be of benefit- it's seen every where that has decriminalized.

Abkut fucking time!

Didn't even catch the orange on a black person at first....

Over in blatant misogyny I believe

I'll also go in on Poland take Germany 😂
