Well we could debate over what is and isn't "possible" on a purely factual basis but TERFs never engage with the argument this way -- it's usually impossible to separate "impossible" from "undesirable" (and indeed "perverse" and "immoral") and that's clearly the case with you

For my part, if reprotech *doesn't* ever advance to the point where being the "kind of person who gestates" is ultimately a completely voluntary free choice -- either to do it or not to do it -- then what the fuck is the point of any of this

"Radical feminism" has gone a long, long way backwards since the days of Shulamith Firestone

Males, without medical intervention, cannot gestate a baby. For this to occur, a uterus transplant would be required. In what world is cross sex organ transplant not extreme medical intervention? Don't just say "I would debate you but...blah blah fuck terfs". Debate me.

Also, are you suggesting there's no point to science and life on earth if the end game is not males can also gestate? Are you mentally well?

I recommend foundational radical feminist texts to people who claim to give a shit about feminism

I'll happily swerve any text that claims the point of civilisation is male gestation thanks

The thing is that I agree with TERFs on this basic principle that sexism is "rooted in women's reproductive role as dictated by biology" - in broad strokes of course everyone agrees with this, it's obvious What I don't agree with is "And that can never, ever change"

"That can never change" tends to turn into "That *should* never change, that's something to be celebrated and defended" Which is why as TERFs get more emotionally attached to TERFism as the core of their political ideology they just morph into conservatives (radfem-to-tradfem)

I rather naively thought that more would start to wake up when more overt homophobia started to be drawn in, but obvs that's not how radicalisation works.
