I've always been liberal, but I'm NEVER voting blue again. I am a TERF in the US. The left has gone too far with it sexual "liberation" and the trans "rights" have gone too far. I saw that the new definition for lesbian is NON-MAN ATTRACTED TO ANOTHER NON-MAN. Idk if I'm late and they've been pushing this for a long time, but it just reached me. This is the straw that broke the camel's back. I've been disillusioned with liberals since the "sex work is work" mantra took off and I found FDS.
I'm tired of women being erased, REAL WOMEN BORN WITH REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEMS THAT REVOLVE AROUND CREATING LARGE GAMETES (OVUM). Woman MEANS an ADULT HUMAN FEMALE. We should have spaces where only ADULT HUMAN FEMALES and daughters can be safe in AWAY FROM MEN (apparently no need to define this as everyone knows).
The way the left is going the only thing they have to offer me is abortion. I've felt strongly about this issue, and it's what kept me feeling almost like a hostage to the left. But I believe since we have birth control and other rights here in the US the trans issues is more pressing. They are invading every spa, gym, prison, and bathroom women have it seems like. The girls can't play fair sports anymore nor can they even go through puberty without having their girlhood and womanhood questioned. I do not want my future daughter to grow up in a place that calls her a nonboy or a non-man. It's absolutely disgusting.
I'm done with this goddamn sex spectrum. SEX IS NOT A SPECTRUM. I'm sick of all the trans ideology being forced on children. Being transgender is rare. I believe the number is .1%. There's no reason small children should be questioned about their "gender identity" or their sexual orientation. Not even high schoolers. This has all gone on too far. I'm a 24 y/o in Michigan. The last election cycle I voted blue everything. Next election will be different. I'm voting conservative for here on out. Fuck the left. Fuck them erasing women, fuck them using abortion over us to make us condone this idiocy. I know what I am as a woman. I do not need a man to tell me!
The US needs a feminist party.
I'm neither left nor right, I will not be a part of a society that disrespect women like that. Trans women are not women. And If I'm a terf then so be it because at least a terf wouldn't coddle the delusion of a mentally ill man. Even the trans ppl who call out the crazies, they are still part of the problem because they still invade women only spaces. We don't owe trans women acceptance because they are not women.
Women's rights are not human's rights, those rights belong to us only and no trans creature should feel entitled to that. Biological females are real women and no delusion can trump that.
No idiot will convince me that ppl don't have to be a biological female in order to be a woman.
Real women aren't born a male, get over it.
the funny part about this is that men aren't erased, nobody has a problem using the word man to describe a biological male, as usual real women are disrespected in the name of acceptance and tolerance.
It's not tolerance to mistreat or disrespect women to lift the trans women up. That shows you're a bully and mentally abusive.
We need to get rid of the 2 party system. It does not work for us anymore. I'm more of in the middle.
Abortion is the left's leverage over women
Trans ideology is the rights leverage over women.
It's intentionally done to keep women divided. But it's also done because both sides need women in their ranks. Understanding why, is the key to turn the tables on both of them.
I can relate except I actually used to be Conservative. I preferred small government and had very traditional beliefs, but over the past few years I’ve changed and no longer align myself with them for a lot of reasons. I am now a moderate, if anything. I would side more with liberals at this point, except they have also lost their minds.
The gender issue is my #1 contention, and like you, it’s the reason I still sort of feel like I’m being “held hostage” by the right.
I haven’t decided whether or not I’m ever voting again. I can’t vote for Democrats because of the gender nonsense and I don’t like how they handle crime, yet I’m not going to feel great voting Republican either if I decide to do so. I think a lot of average, reasonable people find themselves facing the same challenge. Our two-party system does not cater to regular people anymore; it caters to radicals who treat politics like a religion or a WWE tournament.
The political situation in Canada is not much better. We basically have two extremely left leaning parties and a conservative one. The liberal party’s platform is supposed to be somewhat in the middle, but they have totally lost the plot and lean far left now. They are getting 2/3 of the votes nationally between them and the NDP. Lots of trans rhetoric being spewed up here too.
I recently saw that definition too. I think it was in Johns Hopkin's medical/academic literature? (the same institution one of the father of trans ideology - John Money - came from) And that men aren't erased from the 'gay' definition, if i recall correctly. I'm not American...but I don't think Republicans are your answer.
Maybe look into an independent?
Also, I have been perusing Sall Grover's twitter lately, and it provides much appreciated moments of sanity. I think her handle is @Salltweets. In case it helps.
We are all with you queen 👑. I was a life long liberal. I have voted democratic since my first presidential election which was Clinton. But the left has LEFT me behind. They have gone way too off the deep end radical. But it isn't US liberals that have changed. It is the democratic party that has changed. This started in 2015. And btw the democrats can't give you abortion rights either. We forget that the democrats had the majority in the house and Senate when the conservatives pushed their anti abortion laws. AOC and the rest of them did nothing to stop it. The democrats LET it happen.
Isnt it funny that we are always the ones being pushed to the side? Wth is non man? Are men non women? Or is everything always in relation to men? After they said chest feeder and birthing people I was already out. Its so dehumanizing and i dont understand why we change women instead of just specifying the other person. Why isnt it female identifying trans? Because it sounds like you were build in a lab?
I always find it funny how western countries feel so superior to the rest of the world and like they have it all figured out but they find the most creative ways to also erase and discriminate against women. This is not to glorify other countries, I am just tired of giving our homes a pass and pretend they are not "as bad".
The left advocates for universal healthcare and funding of other things that help low income families… I’ll still vote blue because those things matter to me too.
Great post.
I refuse to be called a TERF or even use that word. WTF is that word?!? Making up words to keep us further from ourselves! I am a WOMAN
"To the Left, women are public property"
Agree 100% on liberals (and democrats, since they’ve set themselves up as the “liberal party”, despite still being right of center). Republicans aren't enough of an alternative, though. Not only have they removed our bodily autonomy in many states, but they‘re now coming after no-fault divorce (meaning that women must prove abuse before leaving their husbands), and child labor laws (their end game behind doing away with abortion in the first place: to have an overpopulated and expendable poor class to serve the upper class).
Neither party in the US come close to representing women‘s interests, and both parties know exactly what women are when it comes time to oppress us.
I think the reason is because most of the political leaders are either men or male identified. Men and their slaves do not like women who are solely attracted to women because they are not getting fucked (validated) by a man. It's so redundant and tiring but it's all on purpose.
Racism is still here, misogyny is still here, sexism, homophobia and lesbophobia is still here and the bigger picture is simple: these people are wired to be hierarchal and when you are like that you cannot be moral. You have no sympathy or compassion because you only care about punching down. It's inherently antisocial.
I know its difficult to accept this 'simple' answer but that is what it boils down to. Men are seen as powerful because they can easily overpower and assault, we know this on a biological level. So, that is seen as powerful, pickmes want to be close to that power, so they will throw lesbians and women who aren't pickmes under the bus. Same with self-hating blacks with white supremacists, or the poor repeatedly voting for rich people who aren't doing shit, any other class that is seen as inferior to the public through media and propoganda, want to have the power that their oppressor has and they can only get that through validation.
I don't feel bad for pickmes who are criminals, especially if they involve children (iykyk) or just generally antisocial against innocent people.
It is on purpose so those on top can still feel needed because they are narcissists and they need everyone paying attention, voting and marching for them.
Every politician knows the solutions, but they will never do them because with a healthy, safe, egalitarian society finds them useless. In the SCUM manifesto, Valerie covers this by asking if there is a population that is moral, that can govern themselves, truly egalitarian, then what is the purpose of having a government? Why need an overseer if there is nothing to oversee?
They are narcissists, they're voters are being groomed to be their flying monkeys and the citizens who actually want a healthy society are the black sheep.
