It’s too bad trans girls are in so much danger from police and social violence because otherwise they’d be the perfect group to push the envelope on “Free the Nipple”.
Unless they get their gender markers changed they’re legally allowed to be topless in public.
Except we’re not even apparently legally allowed to do that:
“Andrea Jones was arrested for indecent exposure after taking her shirt off after the Morristown Driver’s License Office refused to change her sex from male to female on her driver’s license.”
Numerous trans women over the years, with or without their legal markers changed, have been arrested for public indency for toplessness, in states where men can be topless, before being charged and jailed with men.
The state has absolutely no problem using unfair double standards to punish trans women just for existing.
If you’ve ever wanted a perfect example of why the term “transmisogyny” exists, here you go. Trans women are only called male when people want to insult us or put up a convenient roadblock. All the other times we’re regarded as a lesser class of woman.
Thiisss. Transmisogyny is being treated like a woman but being called a man and being told you shouldn’t complain about how you’re treated because you’re supposedly treated like a man lmao.
this is a really good example of a seemingly good post that becomes incredibly nasty when you realize a TERF made it and that theyre including trans people within this
Signal BOOST
Like…if people systematically deny me housing, employment, care, etc. because they think people like me are “weird,” that literally is oppression???
If you are trans, nonbinary, or any sexuality/gender that that user was being bigoted against— take a deep breath.
Sit in yourself and find your center. Search for it in your body, were the feeling of truth and love is strongest. Mine is usually in my chest or throat.
Keep breathing and feeling. Acknowledge how much the post made you feel. The anger, the hurt, the disappointment, the disgust, they are important and should be felt. You have every right to feel them. Let them flow through you and let them go if they are causing you harm. Say them out loud, pray, write them down, paint them out.
If you are scared or feel overwhelmed, I would encourage you to get that out in healthy ways as well. For me that means reaching out to others and being comforted by them. Find something that works for you.
Repeat what you know to be true—that the TERF was wrong, that they are bigoted, that there is a community that loves and accepts you.
There will always be people that love you and will stand with you. Your back is never exposed.
If you want to engage with the TERF, then make sure you are in an emotional place that is healthy. If it is going to hurt or upset you, I’d recommend that you let someone else with more energy/spoons than you handle it.
What a lovely day to remember that anyone can be a witch
and the terf/radfems that think only who they consider to be women can be witches—they aren’t witches. I take their witch card away and burn it with the white supremacists’ witch card.
9 dictionaries, including a biblical one, disagree
People have already told you that using the dictionary for explaining witchcraft is dumb. And I really don’t care about the Bible. Sorry you feel threatened, terfy.
So, we’re not allowed to use actual sources that support real definitions?
Or do you just close your eyes and plug your ears and scream to avoid the truth when it’s pointed out to you?
Those definitions are made by people who don’t think witches exist, that we are a fairytale or that we made deals with the devil. They aren’t reliable and you are just a troll.
Just admit that you don’t like to be proven wrong it’s okay
You’re the one saying legitimate sources aren’t real sources sweetie.
Tell me, why do you want men to reclaim a word they spilt the blood of women over? They literally definitions, they can use them.
You’re a terf, so I don’t agree with you about what ‘man’ even means. Also, nonbinary people exist. Also, other forms of witchcraft exist than what happened in Europe. You’ve had this conversation with people already and you haven’t listened to them. Why would I waste energy on you?
Ignore biology all you like you can’t escape it.
And again, as I’ve said for the 100th time, not all magic makers or forms of Magic are called witch and witchcraft, and to suggest other wise is frankly racist, you’re ignoring cultures that practice magic and don’t use those terms. They have their own.
Why do you want a word that doesn’t belong to men to belong to them? For woke points?
Lol, if by biology you mean what you learned in 6th grade science.
True, doesn’t mean we can’t use a word we are familiar with to understand their magic.
“For woke points” hahaha nah I’m just not a terf. Interesting that you ignored my nonbinary comment.
no hun I mean what’s literally engrained into our bodies.
I didn’t acknowledge it because there’s no need: it doesn’t exist and biological sex proves that.
Oh is that so? Shall I just fungi plants then because I understand it better that way? No because that’s stupid. They can use their own terms.
Lol you don’t understand sex doesn’t equal gender. Like, intersex people exist.
Your lack of knowledge lends to the idea that you’re a troll and probably a plant by conservatives. Then again, there are white supremacists who think they belong in the pagan/witch community. Why not terfs too?
Gender is a fake social construct where as biology appears on the body and can be observed.
I know intersex people exist sweetie, but it’s a disorder, one that often ruins lives, please don’t use them as an arguing point, they’ve asked 100000 times for you guys not to.
“My lack of knowledge” on what? I gave you various legitment sources and all you did was cover your eyes and yell “nuh uh!!!!!”
“A disorder” wtf. “They’ve asked you not to” they are a monolithic group of people.
“Various sources” you used online dictionaries. 🙄🙄
Yes, and they don’t like to be used as an arguing point, it’s dehumanizing.
Yes, because, get this, dictionaries are sources of information. Holy fuck this is a revelation
They aren’t a monolithic group of people, no group is. They didn’t have a meeting and vote on it lol
Yeah, and? The dictionary definition also said it was a derogatory term against women, but you’re ignoring that to bend information to fit your worldview.
Several intersex people have made posts and articles about how it’s dehumanizing, you can look them up and read them. I promise your fingers won’t fall off.
You know people can reclaim slurs, right? That’s witch is- a slur used against women, so it’s for women to reclaim.
It’s like me reclaiming the word dyke as a lesbian
That’s a couple intersex people’s opinions, but they don’t speak for everyone. I’m not putting them up as an argument, I’m stating a fact that intersex people exist and that fucks with your binary view of everything.
I…literally didn’t say you couldn’t. I call myself a witch so why would I think you couldn’t reclaim it? I was saying you are picking and choosing what you want from the definition.
It’s still dehumanizing. And, not really? It’s a biological disorder in need of treatments. That doesn’t change biology.
And where am I doing that? I’m stating what it is: a female specific term/slur for only females to reclaim. Only women can be witches because it is our slur to reclaim and it is literally in the definition of the word
They don’t need treatment, a lot of intersex people don’t want to change how their body is. It…does change biology.
Omg witch isn’t really a slur because people don’t think witches exist and are just using a fairytale word. You keep changing your argument and I’m just 🤣🤣🤣
This disorder is not with our medical risks, so he’s it needs treatment. And it doesn’t erase that an overwhelming amount of people have a penis or a vagina, gave XX or XY chromosomes, and some give birth while others impregnate. Biology is inescapable.
How am I changing my argument? The word witch is a slur used against women and is, by dictionary definitions, a female exclusive term, which I have been stating above but apparently is too hard for you
Again, that’s one person’s experience. You don’t speak for intersex people and you don’t get to use some peoples experiences with being intersex to invalidate other intersex people. And okay, sure, doesn’t change the fact that gender is different than sex.
You just brought up that you think it’s a slur because I pointed out that some definition used the word witch to make fun of women.
It’s not just one person experiences you ignorant fuck, it’s what happens to over half of them oh my god. And hun I’m not the one using them as pawns in my arguments.
I’ve brought up that it’s a slur several times (It’s in the definition) in many different arguments, you’re not the only moron who’s crossed my path
It’s in some of the definitions, not all from what I can see. It’s not a slur, that’s ridiculous.
Ah, the fallacies of personally attacking someone have appeared lol
Did you even read the other definitions? “A hag, a woman who is unpleasent” it’s even synonymous with bitch.
It also means a charming young woman so…
Also, bitch isn’t a slur either so whats your point?
What a lovely day to remember that anyone can be a witch
and the terf/radfems that think only who they consider to be women can be witches—they aren’t witches. I take their witch card away and burn it with the white supremacists’ witch card.
the sense of entitlement lol
“Anyone can be a witch, but also these people can’t be witches”
Kiddo I’ve been a witch longer than you’ve been alive, you couldn’t take my ~witch card~ away if you tried
OMG it’s tagged “male witches”. Thank god someone is defending the poor oppressed men from the mean ol’ feminists!
“Any type of person can be a witch, unless you hurt/hate people different from you”
Lol you aren’t a feminist either. Terfs are fake feminists cause you hate trans people.

“anyone can be a witch” “terfs can’t be witches”
Revised:
Any person with their gender, sexuality, race and religion can be a witch.
