lesbian-lizards: shes-the-original: menalez: vladscastle: flamequil: gerardwayspukekink: (Image text: “I will no longer entertain debate about my right to exist.”) Gender Troubles: The Butches Someone left a link in the notes. To any trans person who wants to watch (and anyone wanting to similarly talk about butch experience): This video is set up in ways that get our terf guards up. The title, how much they mention that they get misgenderedand need to clarify they’re not trans guys in the first segment, and one frequently using the term female all contribute to the uneasy feeling it might be a terf thing. However, I heard nothing overtly hostile and plenty of stuff I related to both as a trans woman and a femme lesbian. It’s a good chance for us to listen to others within our community and understand their needs. Lots of butch women talking about their experiences and focused on their experiences, thankfully not their opinions of trans people. Local man gives women permission to watch documentary even if the term “female” appears how dare butch lesbians talk about their experiences???? must be terfy “frequently using the term female” Crystal clear that your movement is anti-woman and anti-feminist at its core so much so that even speaking of women sets you off. I have no patience for any movement so fragile and misogynistic. None. One of my earliest gripes with transactivism was how it was taking away gay and lesbian’s ability to discuss the ways gender harms us. “Gender” is not good for gay people (or women, for that matter, so it’s especially not good for lesbians) and now we can’t even discuss why without getting their “terf guards up”. -- source link
