I've seen a lot of debate in my first post about this platform being trans-friendly. Some users have stated that they're afraid of looking like TERFS. We shouldn't be because FDS is a biological woman-only platform. It was created for women to discuss their experiences as women in their immediate environments and the world over.
This is not a place for men or trans women and saying that does not mean that I'm disrespecting them. They are free to have platforms that are for them and them only. This is for women, only. Remember that the same trans women some of you are supporting are eroding the rights of biological women. We have seen and continue to see anything to do with womanhood being debated, insulted, removed and rejected. We can no longer use words that describe women or talk about anything that pertains to women. Are we seeing the same thing happen to men? No. Is manhood and what it is to be a man being debated? No. Case in point: in many places, men's toilets remain toilets for men while women's toilets are for women and trans women:
Keep in mind that some "trans women" are simply men in women's clothing. They haven't changed anything about themselves physically (i.e. they still have a penis) and are going into women's bathrooms. Let that sink in.
Lastly, I will not tolerate anyone that insults me or anyone that has the same stance as me. If it's very important to you to talk about other people's plight more than that of women and this platform angers you because we focus on women's issues, feel free to leave.
A woman only space such as FDS should be pro TERF and anti trans. We don't hate trans ppl because they chose to transition but because they act like we don't own womanhood and we are obligated to give our rights and enterance to our spaces.
They are so offended that we are the gate keepers of being a woman and they do everything to embarass us for the sake of being included. Birthing person, egg carrier, is a thing because of these beasts and that's unforgivable.
I used to laugh when a trans person beats up a rude scrotw and I was like well done, but now I despise them for colonizing everything that belongs to us,
Susan B Anthony didn't go to jail so that pigs in wigs can inherit our birth rights. The testosterone freakazoids are the least loudest but they are part of the problem as well because they believe trans beasts deserve to feel safe because they get beat up in the men's room.
Not my problem, My safety is more important than the safety of an invader, Imagine if a bird allows a cat into her nest because the cat gets beat up by other cats.
I don't want to share a bathroom with a cockroach like Dylan Mulvany. Or any bloke with gender dysphoria, If you are mentally ill or disturbed then how am I going to feel safe with you?
Every man who says he is a woman is a misogynist, ALL of them. Their entire identity is reducing women to a costume and wearing us.
Guess I’m a TERF too. Biology determines who is a woman . Not delusions .
THANK YOU. This needed to be said.
TERF--"Telling Everyone Real Facts". Wear it as a badge of pride, ladies!
Notice that biological women aren't clamoring to get into trans-women only spaces.
Yes!
Moderators, clap back! 👏 👏 👏
We need moderators to have a strong presence on this platform and set clear boundaries for us!
Fully agree. I am ok with being a TERF.
Where were these trans “feminists” when Roe was overturned!?!
Now they can enjoy the same indifference and apathy from us.
I internally groan whenever trans people get brought up, because I know the comments will explode and turn nasty.
The ability to respect each other's opinions while disagreeing would be incredible, because it's all to easy these days to label someone with a different opinion as a bad person. That is exactly what the trans lobby has done with TERFdom; it silences women.
I would like it very much if we exhibited higher value behaviour than that.
Like I can’t imagine defending men just because they change pronouns. Imagine a scrote who hurt and traumatized women came here saying we had to accept him now because what he identifies as.
Thank you. I was afraid for a minute there, given some of the comments in the forum the past few days. I thought I was losing my mind.
And I want to say that pointing out misogyny in the trans and gay community is not transphobic or homophobic. You do not get a free pass to be misogynistic if you're gay or trans. I say this on this thread because the previous thread made mention of posters here being homophobic and transphobic.
🎯I'm also proud being a TERF. You can never compare a male dressing as a woman to a real woman!!! They will never understand what being a true woman is like, so how can they empathize us? At my university, I am one of the minority who is against liberal feminism, hook up culture, and is a terf; however, I know the consequences of speaking up my true beliefs in a world that is against women so decided to play until i gained enough power economically and socially.
It took me a long time to get comfortable with this. I love many trans women that are truly wonderful people. Good friends, fun to work with, you get the idea.
Every single one of them gives me the slightest "ick" feeling, though.
I don't feel comfortable sharing a dressing room with the gender that typically looks at a naked woman like a piece of meat. Even if the outermost appearance has changed, the internal mindset is still there. I don't want to be prey.
When I shared my pregnancy announcement during a social function at work, my normally mild mannered trans female colleague "joked" she'd like to rip out my uterus and implant it in herself.
HR rephrased language regarding mothers on maternity leave to "people on parental leave" and yet, men in our company do not receive paternity leave.
Trans women get so hateful when they're excluded by women who want women-only spaces.
Trans women don't have the same skin in the game when it comes to women's rights. They still think like men and don't care about our wellbeing.
TERF is when you don't know how to affirm someone with a dick's femaleness while simultaneously asserting that biological female-ness is a social construct that doesn't even really exist - at the very same time!
EDIT: Don't just downvote me, refute my comment. Explain where I'm wrong. You won't.
Yes! Thank you!
Thank you for making it clear that this site is meant for real women. not men who pretend they're women. Too many spaces that pretend to center women believe they're being "inclusive" by including men and fail to understand that so-called "trans rights" come at the expense of women's rights.
Even if FDS members weren't TERFs, trans people would still hate FDS because anything that is women-only, real women-only, is labeled TERF.
Here are some of my favorite comments from this post:
I feel i'm as liberal and open minded as they come, but there have to be some places for women only.
Not the idea of women, or those who got to chose when they became one.
Being born female is such a unique expierence from the time you are a toddler to grade school to adulthood to menopause, and it's not easliy copied or replicated with hormones and surgery.
I love all people, and want everyone treated with dignity and respect but it's been frustrating watching the erosion of womanhood and the definition now open to endless posibilites.
Other than true intersex/hormonally based cases which certianly exist, we have to keep a firm hold on what it means to be a woman based on science moving forward, or we will loose it entirely.
There has been a "war on women" since the beginning of time, and we need to be sure of who we are so that we can finally fight back and claim our place as the true better of the sexes.
Apologies on my part. I meant to say “trans women” not “trans men”.
