They’re totally equal to me. But males are not females and females have rights & needs and deserve a word for themselves. Why do you feel so threatened by females saying ‘no’? You’d rather we knew our place and submitted meekly to what the males demand of us? Wrong century, mate.

I'm not threatened by people saying 'no', I'm a big believer in consent, but everyone is threatened by people trying to roll back extant rights on queer people.pic.twitter.com/Q3pLD2Fn1T

That’s great to hear. Because many females do not consent to sharing their single sex safe spaces with penis-bearers. And as to rolling back: the only thing that may be rolled back are practices obtained by policy capture and backroom deals away from democratic scrutiny.

> penis-bearers you really part of the crowd that spent weeks lamenting "pregnant people" being an official medical phrasing?

I don’t use that phrase out of choice.

So what's wrong with the phrase, the idea that non women can get pregnant or the part where women are people?

The problem lies in erasing female humans as a sex class. We’re not having it, deal with it.

the concept of sex class presupposes class mobility, doesn't it? you know, like economically, a hired worker may get lucky enough to become a bourgeois.e while an "employer" may get bankrupt & start having to earn a wage like the rest of the proletariat?

if your philosophy implies there should be a set of social groups with fixed & immutable membership, then the word you're looking for is caste and you should start openly stating that you're advocating for a caste system in 21st-century europe.

On some level I'm a "discourse accelerationist" about this stuff I'm just so impatient with all the complicated ducking and weaving and bracketing TERFs do to argue they're not essentialists They obviously ARE essentialists and they should just fucking own it

They're not just essentialists by definition they let essentialism color everything they think and say and do, they just hurry to pull the fig leaf over it when directly challenged on the word "essentialism" Just BE AN ESSENTIALIST and stand over there with the "race realists"

Kathleen Stock getting all in the weeds about how when you have a traditional women's sewing circle it's a cultural space that's informed by everyone there having a uterus and even if you can't verbalize it, the whole feminine energy it has is disrupted by letting a penis in

Using all these fucking words for what that "energy" or "quality" or whatever is -- it just *looks* and *feels* and *smells* female The word is "essence", Kathleen, the name for the thing you're saying right now was established long ago as "essentialism"
