Wenn eine gute Bekannte sich weigert, mir ihre Gedanken und Gefühle zum Ukraine-Krieg mitzuteilen und mit mir darüber zu reden . . .

If only there was a group of people campaigning for bodily autonomy all this time, this might not have happened. Oh well.

The same people who last month could not define what a woman was and wanted to force people to be vaccinated and wear masks are the same people who today will know exactly what a woman is and scream my body my choice. We live in a 🤡 🌎 and I fucking hate clowns. Enjoy the ride.

If feminism critical of trans activism is "white feminism," why do some of the most prominent court cases on the topic involve black women?

Like Raquel Rosario Sanchez,(*) who sued her university for failing to protect her from harassment by trans activists. Although she lost the case on grounds that the university was not expected to protect her, the judge acknowledged the hatefulness of the trans activists who were sending her threats of violence and otherwise severely harassing her.

Or Allison Bailey, who's currently preparing to sue Stonewall UK for homophobic workplace discrimination. She was made a persona non grata on the basis of her belief, as a lesbian, that lesbians do not find people with male bodies attractive and that people with male bodies cannot be lesbians.

Back in 2018, Linda Bellos was accused by trans activists of threatening violence, a case they've lost. She had said in a video recording that she would defend herself if she was physically assaulted by trans activists like the way Maria MacLachlan was.

This "white feminism" sure seems to have a lot of figureheads who happen to be black.

Maybe accusations of "white feminism" are often just used as a tactic to demonize feminists?

(*) Sanchez is from the Dominican Republic. I don't know if she would be considered black, but she's certainly not white.
much like the LOTR setting itself, we live in an age much less glorious and beautiful than ages past. but we do what we can to fight against evil.
Als #Expertinnen und #Experten zum #Ukraine-Krieg werden uns immer wieder #Militärs und #Politiker vorgesetzt, nie jedoch #Pazifistinnen und #Pazifisten. Diese #Menschen sind die wirklichen Experten für #Frieden. Es gibt viele engagierte Friedensorganisationen mit den entsprechenden Friedensexpertinnen und -experten - ich nennen hier mal stellvertretend die #DFG-VK.
Why is it considered offensive to suggest that the phenomenon of young women identifying as non-binary might be related to internalised misogyny, but it's just fine and dandy to say that feminists who feel unwell about transwomen in female-only spaces must be feeling so because their trauma with male-bodied people makes them unable to think straight?

Are people's feelings always valid, or are others allowed to analyze them and form their own theories about others's feelings?

Imagine if George Soros had bought Twitter? Former Secretary of Labor, Little Robbie Reich, would be jumping up and down with joy, as would Musk's other critics. I don't recall the outcry when Jeff Bezos bought the Washington Post, the most influential newspaper in our nation's capital. To the contrary, Bezos was applauded for bringing a more liberal perspective to that newspaper.

Ja, sich mit D.Nuhr & A.Schwarzer zu solidarisieren, kostet Überwindung. Aber es ist einfach nur richtig, denn Wut & Empörung dürfen nicht die Politik bestimmen.
Vielleicht ist es auch eine Generationen-Frage. Kuba-Krise, kalter Krieg... hallo? Das war kein Film, kein Theater - das war verdammt real.
