I grew up with inclusivity meaning to act and make public spaces inclusive for ppl with disabilities, with ramps, lifts and toilets prepared with equipment for their needs. Including women in political representation where black/brown men had already been included, or black/brown

..ppl where only white ppl were. Including poor kids in sports or computer literacy. Including vulnerable women, living in poverty, in health care that was available to wealthier women. Including ppl from impoverished areas in opportunities to access formal qualification.

Inclusivity meant that ppl who were disadvantaged by social class, by sex discrimination or racial discriminator would have a chance to live full lives, with appropriate shelter, health care, financial independence and dignity overall. Inclusivity that panders to the wishes of

Everyday, I bookmark issues affecting females. I want to run out of issues. That's the goal of feminism. To end female oppression. I don't want to talk about a"female gender identity " that males have when I'm campaigning for safe abortions or to end obstetric violence.

I want to talk about the issue at hand. Why are women being denied abortions? Why are they getting epsiotomies during childbirth? What's the evidence for doing these to women? Why are most societies doing that to women? Can we stop this? That's what I want to discuss.

But all debate surrounding female issues is seen as transphobic. We can't talk about issues that only happen to female bodies because we're being told that it excludes transexual males because they were not born female. Well, lucky you! But we were born with the female anatomy.

I hate it with all my strength when someone calls me a cry baby after I tell them that I was sexually abused as a child by a man and now I am adamant that I will stay physically as far away as I can from any male I don't know or trust.

They say I need therapy. What I needed was to hold this abuser accountable for his acts. He got away with it bc no adult supported the abused children. We were dismissed and discredited. I was personally told that I provoked this man by sitting next to me. So I promised myself

That I would never give another man the chance to abuse me again. A lesson I learned when I was 8yo. I managed to never be around this man for the rest of his life. I crossed the street if he was on the same side. I wouldn't be in the same room with him not even with other ppl.

This is absolutely unbelievable. We are told all the time that no one is trying to prevent women from fighting against patriarchy. I then go and focus on feminism, i talk about feminism, female oppression, and I get called bigot, sexual predator, for supporting women.

Wild and unfounded accusations, about me shitting on other groups. For saying that male/female brains don't exist. That women are oppressed bc they have the potential to gestate and patriarchy exploits that potential. It started a long time ago, to give heirs to men.

It didn't stop yet. mandatory motherhood is real. Girls get dolls to be "trained" as mothers. We're told that girls "grow faster" to justify marriage of underage girls. We're barely have s proper sex ed bc the goal is to make us pregnant, no choice where abortion is forbidden.
