So I was watching some drama about how woman is described today in this days by some trans people and how do they "define or express gender."
When the word "female" comes into your mind, what do you think of?
According to Google:
fe·male
adjective
of or denoting the sex that can bear offspring or produce eggs, distinguished biologically by the production of gametes (ova) that can be fertilized by male gametes.
And I agree to this fact. Based on my understanding, a female is a person that is biologically born with a vagina. As a woman, you have the ability to produce egg cells, menstruate every month, have the ability to get pregnant by your eggs being fertilized by a biological male, and menopause at an old age because a real woman have a uterus and a vagina. (and a biologically born female who is not able to menstruate and be pregnant is an infertile woman).
As a part of the "LGBTQ+" community, I just never understand how some people this days describe the word "female" or the other word "woman" especially the trans community. Other trans associate woman for being an expression or gender identity than sticking to the facts, the BIOLOGY of what a real woman is.
So trans-woman are a "woman"? Even though they are biologically born male? They don't understand womanhood is. There is totally nothing wrong with being a transgender person. But the fact that they would not set boundaries from these political and controversial topics just made me loose my nuts. I would not have a problem if they identify themselves as trans-woman. But if we women call them out for their crap, we will be called "cis-woman" or a "transphobic bigot" for it. What the fuck even is a cis-woman? Another "gender identity" or "pronoun" for them to make them look superior or prove their beliefs to other people? It's bullshit.
If you watched the video, this MAN flexes how he has four girlfriends, I repeat FOUR GIRLFRIENDS and describes as a "trans-gender lesbian". It's not being a lesbian, it's being a CREEP, A STRAIGHT CREEP. If you want a clarification on what does lesbian mean:
LESBIAN: Usually refers to a woman who has a romantic and/or sexual orientation toward women (based on Google).
See? lesbian is a term for biological woman being emotionally or sexually attracted with the same sex, a biological woman too. And gay is a biological man emotionally or sexually attracted with the same sex, a biological man.
As a bisexual woman, I am attracted to the same sexes (female and male). But since the TQ+ made things complicated, more pronouns (they/them) and gender fluidity and with this non-binary crap, I start to question if I am really bi or not. If I found out that I am going to make out with a "woman" with a penis, I'll be turned off. Why? Because I am attracted to a biological woman and biological man. Not someone who is completely delusional who identifies as a "woman" who is actually a biological man. It's creepy for me, especially if they're not going to tell the truth. The same applies to the lesbians, gays and even the straight people! Even a gay Youtuber admitted that he will be even turned off if he liked someone who is identified as a "man" even though SHE has a vagina.
Another example is a "trans woman" forcing to use the public women restrooms.
Now you know why we separate men and women's restrooms in public places? It's to avoid predators who are just roaming around in near sight. And these delusional group of people will go to "their assigned restroom" especially someone who identifies as "trans-woman" who will go to woman's restrooms. Imagine a dressed up man going into the girl's washroom and you're a woman seeing this dude in your private space? Even myself will get creeped out, especially the children and biological woman who will feel vulnerable over a guy who is dressed as a girl. I used to ignore this stuff and used to believe that trans women should use the women's restroom but in the end of the day, they are still a biological male. I'm not implying that all trans people are perverts in general. But to avoid issues most of them should've just follow the rules right? For them to use the restroom that identifies their biological sex to avoid misunderstanding.
Another example is how they flex and show how they "menstruate" each month. If someone is born male, how do you have the ability to menstruate?
Sure, cutting off your penis with surgeries and taking pills can now make you look like a girl, but the fact that they lie to themselves for the fact that they are slowly destroying their body with pills and chemicals and "misunderstand" this for periods. Can you blame us for bleeding? We don't own womanhood, WE, BIOLOGICAL WOMAN HAVE IT NATURALLY. People who de-transitioned talks about how their surgeries negatively affected their physical but also mental health. Why is no one talking about this? I'm not saying that transitioning is bad, what I mean is it can change your lifestyle so you can think about it first before having one.
Also kids are getting involved with this topics. LET KIDS BE KIDS. Some families are turning their kids trans or non-binary for what? To prove their ideology to their kids and the whole world that they're right? Teachers promoting different "pronouns" to kids for what? To be called how a "nice" person they are? Kids getting involved with drag queens adult stuff? Doesn't really matter what pronouns you preferred to use rather than your personality and how you mingle with society? It's CRAP. PEOPLE ARE JUST FOCUSING ON GENDER IDENTITY NOW AND IT SUCKS. Taking your kids into pride parades while there are people in floats and the streets almost naked is good? Teaching your kids to be a drag queen and use makeup and wear skimpy outfits and teaching your kids how to twerk is amazing? Empowering? It's not just right. Pride went to empowering the LGBT community that marrying the same sex is nothing wrong into strip clubs but in the streets with people even children holding up rainbow flags.
Sure drag is art, but it's only for adults. Other people should not involve children into topics like this. It's like exposing your child into the BDSM and porn industry. Does it really matter to celebrate on who you slept with? It's just inappropriate.
Making their own kid trans is EXPLOTATION. THIS GUY RIGHT HERE DESERVES TO BE IN JAIL. A kid will find out their own gender identity at the right age and time, don't let your own parent MANIPULATE YOU INTO THINKING AND DECIDING ON WHO YOU REALLY ARE. THIS IS GROOMING. He's literally using his OWN CHILD FOR CLOUT. D.I.S.G.U.S.T.I.N.G.. A kid isn't even allowed to drink alcohol, smoke or vape, have sex, even let alone get a permanent tattoo. But now we can turn your kids into drags and forcing them to be trans and chop off your body parts and get surgeries? It's not right!
As someone who experienced "gender-dysphoria" and I used to identify as non-binary even though it just never felt right. And it affected how I socialized with other people too. It's a serious problem, not to be celebrated. When other people use the "wrong pronouns" to non-binary people, THEY WILL LOOSE THEIR SHIT. Really narcissistic, it scares me.
Okay, if you keep pushing on what you referred to instead of facing reality, fine. WE WON'T REFER TO YOU.
meanwhile if you compare to this amazing trans here:
See, Blair White as a transgender woman identifies herself as a man transitioning. This gave me faith that not all trans are delulus. She's just a normal person with great values. I used female pronouns when talking about her but still acknowledge her for being a biological man (not that I want to be praised). I hope more trans people are like this, just positive and happy without acting like a narcissist. (If you want to show support more, subscribe on the Youtuber's channel that are in the video links above :).
Conclusion: A trans person is trans. A trans woman is a man transitioning into a woman. That's what trans woman is. But a trans woman will never be a biological woman, because what is the reason of your transitioning if you classify or identify yourself as a biological man? Same applies to trans man. Kids should be kids. It's normal if they start feeling attracted to the same or both sex or they begin to question their gender identity. What they need are understanding and mature parents to properly explain to them on how these things actually work and that what matters is that they properly socialize with society. Time will come for them to properly transition and bloom into a beautiful flower. Your gender identity or sexuality is millions far away as you as a whole. What matters is you have great values and you properly contribute to the society.
As a bisexual person, does my sexuality matter more than my personality and talents? Does my attraction with the both sexes matter much more than my abilities and what I can do as a human? I am a tomboy girl, but still identifies as a woman. If a boy likes Barbie's, he can still be identified as a boy without being called transgender or non-binary. In the right age, they will identify on what they want to be called without the adults forcing them on what they should be.
The LGB are different with the TQ+ honestly. LGB are straight forward and still faces biology. If you're a man who likes penis, then you're gay. Same applies with lesbians and a bisexual woman/man. While TQ+ focuses on identity, demanding on other people on what they should be referred to instead in shutting your mouth up and enjoy your privileges' in life. Some of them are ruining grammar and vocabulary just because on what they want to refer to making things really complicated. It's like they're erasing the gay, bi and lesbian gals. If a biological woman likes a "woman" who has a penis, she's lesbian? I don't know I'm just really confused...
It's batshit crazy. I'm not saying that being trans is bad. There is nothing completely wrong with that. But if you were planning to get surgery, think about it first because it can completely change your life. I'm also not being transphobic. There are trans people there like Blair that is actually nice and respectful to other people. I just hope that the majority of the trans and non binary people will act more mature and just enjoy life!
If the part of the TQ+ keeps acting like this, I won't be a part and support the LGBTQ+ community even though I identify as bisexual if the part of the TQ+ will be problematic like this. Imagine the kids and teenagers being brainwashed from these groomers. Disappointing.
(Whew, that's a long ass rant. I want to add more but I'm afraid that the whole community will kick my ass and will team up to Tumblr ban my acc. which hopefully not :).
The more the bear identity is mainstreamed, the more it gets sanitised. The more you get people insisting it doesn't mean what it means, that it's just for "buff and mayyybe a little chubby" "dad bod" "strongman build" whatever euphemism they can to deny fat men a place in their own community.
Fat hairy gay men built this place for themselves and now you're barging in and pretending they never belonged there.
“Pinkwashing is an Israeli government propaganda strategy that cynically exploits LGBTQIA+ rights to project a progressive image while concealing Israel’s occupation and apartheid policies oppressing Palestinians.
For decades, Israel’s colonial and apartheid regime has robbed, oppressed, ethnically cleansed, impoverished, imprisoned and killed Palestinians, queer and non-queer alike.”
Do lawmakers even know how stupid KOSA truly is as a bill, if not dangerous. Think about it: having to give ID containing SENSITIVE INFORMATION (literally against Internet Safety 101) just to go on the internet. Being a minor having to do that is so dangerous and would put them in more danger at the hands of predators.
People who have to use the internet for educational uses will have to go through stupid, unneeded steps just to look up the purpose of the mitochondria!
Trans and Queer youth are in danger. Fandom spaces are in danger. Children, the very group of people that this bullshit bill is claiming to protect, are in DANGER!
The States having full monopoly over the internet is so, so ungodly stupid and dystopian. I can’t imagine being someone not from the States and having to witness all of this.
The bill doesn’t protect kids, it only puts them in more danger.
CALL YOUR REPS! SIGN PETITIONS! KEEP KOSA TRENDING! LET PEOPLE KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING!
THIS IS AN ISSUE FOR ALL OF US! NOT JUST A SELECTIVE!
SIMILAR BILLS HAVE HAPPENED BEFORE AND BEEN STOPPED THANKS TO THE INTERNET! LET’S DO THAT AGAIN!
STOP KOSA!
KOSA AFFECTS US ALL
there will be no room to call for a free palestine, congo, sudan, or yemen when imperialists control what stays on the internet.
there will be no room for sharing queer joy, safe binding and tucking guides, or tutorials on how to safely navigate kink when queerphobes and puritans decide what kinda of relationships and identities are "acceptable".
there will be no room for anticapitalism, protest organizing, pirating, or sharing anti-establishment resources when the establishment can erase whatever ideas are too threatening to them to stay.
there will be no room to be someone who doesn't conform.
DOWNLOAD ALL THAT IS IMPORTANT TO YOU. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES. PROTEST AS LOUDLY AS POSSIBLE. SIGN PETITIONS. BUILD ALTERNATIVE COMMUNICATIONS FOR YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS. AND DO IT NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
People is it only me or do some of you also experience such a big overwhelming connection with same gender people as you (that feels a lot like romantic love) but then think of the opposite gender and remember how your supposed crushes felt and then remember you parental issues and think is it that I’m queer or am I just so comfortable with one and so scared of the other.
(And then think that it all doesn’t matter anyway cause you are already constrained by the expectations of your future marriage)

hi guys! just wanna say this for myself + others. even if you identify as lgbtq+ and have been out for a long time, or if you’re closeted and haven’t been out at all, or if you’re straight…educate yourself about gender identities and sexual orientations!!!!
This is part of being an ally (both as a straight person or as a member of the lgbtq+ community) to others. You need to teach yourself about the identities so that the work is not left in the hands of others to explain themselves to you constantly.
This also applies to other minorities. Don’t ask a POC to explain racism to you. Don’t ask women to explain misogyny to you. Don’t ask followers of Judaism to explain and defend their religion to you. Educate yourself and remove your own biases, unconscious micro-aggressions, and societally-instilled beliefs. It’s YOUR job to dismantle your harmful traits, not the people who are harmed by them.
As much as straight ally’s can exist and be so accepting and loving and full of love and joy, there is no match for the queer community. Even when I exist within my friend groups of straight girls who know I am gay and accept me and treat me normally, I still feel like I am missing a piece of myself. I cannot embody my true ‘queerness’ around them. But, like magic, when I am in queer spaces, I feel sooo me. I feel empowered and I feel authentic and I feel like I can be anyone I want to be at any moment. Just…there is something so special and unifying about the universal elements of queerness. The way that the queer community is just brave people who take on the world in a way that most people don’t and allow themselves to fully explore every aspect of themselves. There is a certain joy, a deeper love, in that. One that straight people will never understand or access. I am very, very grateful for that community and that bond. Despite the suffering and pain that has come along with it, I would not want to live without being queer. My life is so much fuller and lovelier because of it.
people making comments where ‘gay’ or ‘lesbian’ are used as insults or to make fun of someone and then following it with “not that there’s anything wrong with that” is the equivalent of a white person making racist comments and then justifying it with “I have a black friend.”
if you truly support the queer community, don’t perpetuate hateful beliefs by encouraging an environment where being queer is used to ridicule and ostracize others. even if you meant it as a harmless joke, there are people in the room who see your behavior as enablement for them to be hateful and homophobic and to write it off as a “joke.”
bad behavior is bad behavior. doing something in a playful manner does not erase the consequences of your actions.
Reminiscing on my “coming out.” I was so scared. So small, so shaky. So, so scared for so long. It had been over a year of sexuality related anxiety and OCD taking over my life. It almost drove me to take my life. I didn’t want to be who I knew I was that much. Finally…one day, I got the courage to tell someone. I told my sister. I really said it, I said the words “I’m gay” out loud. I did it. It felt like a relief. I was still terrified and shaky, but I was glad to have another person to hold this with me. And then…that same night my sister outed me to my entire family. She didn’t mean to hurt me. I found out that she had been cutting herself, so I told my mom for her safety. In an effort to take my moms attention off of her cutting, she outed me. In front of her friends and my mothers friends. It hurt me so much because this meant that she viewed being gay as something so bad and horrible that it could top her harming herself. I remember getting that text from my mom, feeling my heart drop out of my chest, feeling my throat tighten up. “____ is saying that you’re a lesbian. Is that true?” my mom texted me. She sounded so accusatory, like she was hoping my sister was lying. When they returned to the house, they looked at me differently. They acted nervous and unsure around me. Like I was some caged animal that could break out at any moment. I will never forget that night. It took me so long and it took so much courage for me to tell my sister, and I needed her support because I didn’t have it in me to give it to myself. But she didn’t give me that. She took my chance to come out on my own terms away from me. And she made it more dangerous for me. My family already treated me differently than my other siblings, but this pushed them over the edge. It was just another thing to other me, to separate me from others. I really understand the pain she was in and the reasoning behind her doing it, but I can’t forgive that. She took something from me that can’t ever be given back.
Not to mention…my mother took it upon herself to inform my dad, my grandparents, my aunts, my uncles, and pretty much everyone she could think of about my sexuality. I was not ready. I was so terrified and I told my sister I was gay as a start. I was not ready to come out to everyone in my life or to exist as a gay woman yet. It should have been my choice. It should have been on my timeline. I am very very angry at them. My sister was a child so I can understand it more, but my mother? She was a grown adult. And she thought that she should tell everyone my own deeply personal information without so much as asking me if it was okay. I felt so out of control that day. I never had so much anxiety in my life. My whole body felt shaky and it felt like I was having a heart attack. It just…shouldn’t have happened that way.

btw this is about a girl I met at a party yesterday who opened up to me about how she is bisexual, but doesn’t feel particularly able to express that part of herself due to experiences she’s had in the past. I was just like…wow. I went through the same thing at the same time. Could we have saved each other? Could I still save her? Could I resurrect the part of her that she lost, the part that I fought for years to uncover in myself? It would have all been easier, gentler if we’d have had each other then. Maybe it can be easier and gentler now.
do you ever meet someone and they tell you about the things they’ve struggled with in the past and you’re just like … damn. I wish I would’ve been there when you were little. I could’ve saved you. You know…I could have kissed the bruises on your back…yadda yadda yadda

An urgent warning for all my queer homies: there are malicious, false ads circulating on social media for HRT supplements designed to gather a list of trans people and their addresses.
Along with just being useless sugar pill supplements. Fun all around, right?
A good reminder to be vigilant about where you seek out gender affirming care, especially if you live in a suppressive state like I do. Source your supplies and care from reputable queer support groups and always do your research before doing business with an unfamiliar supplier.
It sucks ass that anyone has to be this vigilant, but this is where we are unfortunately. Be aware, not scared. That’s always been my policy, and I will do my part to keep the community informed when something dangerous arises. Stay safe, y’all.
