Yet Another Proof That Language Is So Important Because Of Course Life Under Capitalism AND Patriarchy

I knew about top "nullification" surgery where even the nipples are erased from your body, but today I learned about bottom "nullification" surgery. When you think you've seen all the ways in which patriarchy exerts its power, you find another one. Of course it was someone who's female and identifying as non-binary who did it. I saw the pictures. She's in her early 20s, had the option to get the nerves out (so not being able to feel anything down there) but at the last moment was convinced by her mom to keep them. Still, that surgery consists of sewing everything shut except a small hole to urinate. This is the "modern" FGM, the "everything is a choice" option and they (surgeons and people who support this) will try to draw you as the villain for pointing out the issues before ever questioning the ethic of such surgeries. If you're asexual then your sexual organs won't force you to have sex, you can live without using your vagina for sex or delivering babies for that matter. Your body is not a customisable machine from which you leave out the parts that you don't like at some point in your life. The hegemony of capitalism (which dehumanises humans and try to make robots out of us) coupled with patriarchy is what made this horror possible.

You can have a been a young girl raped by a man and getting deeply traumatised for it to the point you want nothing to do with your body anymore, and greedy surgeons will take advantage of this distress and clear ptsd. I am full of rage. I won't ever stop fighting for women's liberation and having this as my priority when the situation for girls and women regardless of how they identify and everywhere around the world is this terrible.

the amount of people who are genuinely upset over trans identified men not being able to play in girls sports is genuinely concerning. Whatever happened to accepting science and material reality? I believe it all boils down to one thing: male entitlement

if you were born with a penis: kill yourself

Anyone else crazy af...

i’ve decided to simply stop caring about the agony

Afghan girls, Sudanese girls, Congolese girls, Palestinian girls and all the women of colour whose pain is justified away because "it's the region/the religion/the culture and those things never change", we remember you on Women's day. How I feel is until all women everywhere can live life totally free, we're all a few fascist moves from losing the little autonomy we have in our countries.

May we all one day experience total woman victory where all our sisters live fully autonomous lives free from violence, harm, control and subterfuge.

our humble "mutual" vs their barbarous "oomf"

i feel so unit 00 bashing head against wall rn
