I'm reflecting on my last few years in the GC movement, starting when I had insomnia one night and encountered the term "trans widow" for the first time about a decade ago. The first story I read was still one of the ones I think would peak people, with a woman describing what

seemed like their husband trying to embody them - wearing a wig like her hair, insisting the woman be less feminine for their own "validation", pushing sexual boundaries trying to think about themselves as the woman they fetishized becoming. The woman was both an accessory

& source of validation- not a person in a realtionship with a person that saw them. Since then I've seen the GC subreddit I participated in shut down. I've seen women speaking out for their own rights and existance kicked off social media, doxxed in their home life, and silenced.

I've seen women sent death and rape threats. I've seen a new form of old school misogyny manifest. Calling women bleeders, breeders, and menstruaters. Any vile filth is acceptable once you accept the legitimacy of "TERFs"...from men trying to colonize women as the final frontier.

When I was growing up, sterotypes over sex were dropping and parents were just hoping we didn't repeat the giggle-worthy reality from Kindergarten Cop that "Boys have a penis and girls have a vagina", in front of company. Now women like @wild_womyn are being barred from stating

basic biological reality. Women are just regressive stereotypes. We're a sexual object, lipstick, a dress - an aesthetic, not people in our own right. Women fought against being boxed in as individuals, but people are now finding ridiculous validation boxing themselves in.

I'm sick of men telling me what woman is from their perspective. Hormones don't change Y to an X. Cosmetic surgery - which women would never have covered for "validation" - doesn't change gamete size. Inverting your penis doesn't change your mammalian purpose from male to female.

Infertile women acknowledge sex. How would they know they were infertile if they didn't know their role in sexual reproduction? Ppl with DDSDs are male or female & don't disprove the binary. Humans are bipedal; you can be human with one leg. Outliers do not disprove the norm.

You can't identify into FGM or femicide. No doc looks at parents & says "I think this child will identify as woman" before making a choice in a one child state. Sex is not assigned at birth; it's observed. There isn't a drunk stork having a bad day that made an "oops" delivery.

I don't know of anyone that can trace their family history back to an ancestor born from a man. It's ridiculous we expend energy pretending women aren't a biological reality. Nonconforming men are not women. Heterosexual men are not lesbians. The sexual binary exists.
