Is teenage pregnancy a good thing? As feminists, should we promote it?
đ§ľ
TL;DR: The answer of course is NO
But here is whyâŚ

âParents should be consulted on whether their daughters have access to contraception and abortionâ is actually an incredibly white feminist take
There are lots of girls in the UK from highly traditional and/or religious communities who canât go âhey mum, I know Iâm 14 and everything but Iâve been shagging boys, can I go and get an implant?â and have her go âwell, if youâre sure, Iâd rather you be safe!â
I bloody hate boats. Especially cruise ships, actually. Very undignified things

Have âGRA repeal nowâ and âremove GR as a protected characteristic from the EAâ campaigners had any political success or interest whatsoever?
They seem to talk a big talk - that usually includes calling anyone who disagrees or thinks this is currently unrealistic: MRAs, handmaidens, pervert lovers, âAGP ball garglersâ etc - but they never seem to be making any actual gains?

Itâs worth reflecting on what happened in the early days of #nodebate, circa 2015-2018
Radical transactivists aggressively pushed their relatively new ideas about gender identity and self-ID, of course, and pushed for a blanket non-discussion attitude in public life
As part of this, notably, they rounded on medicalised transsexuals, who they mocked as âtrutransâ. The men who had been taking female hormones for decades, who had got all the surgeries, perhaps understandably felt they were more âtransâ than the likes of Danielle Muscato

Iâm sure these people werenât always unhinged like they are now. What has happened?
âWhy should I have to make a sound and considered case for my highly contentious political campaign?â
Er, because thatâs how the world works, maybe?

âTrans doesnât exist, therefore trans must be eradicatedâ is a very stupid analysis
If trans doesnât exist, then thereâs nothing to change. God doesnât exist. I donât spend my days shaking my fist at the sky

One thing I have been thinking about recently is how menâs sexualisation of women and girls is so inescapable that at times we canât actually defend against it, and just have to live
Through this part of Twitter, Iâve seen some real grim fetish shit, and become more aware about how men sexualise underage girls in particular. And when you realise this, you canât help but see potential for male perversion everywhere

I think this one makes the cruelty of Annaâs edgelord homophobic joke all the clearer. He is clearly struggling with it, he said it makes him sick to his stomach and heâs trying to distract himself
Also, all the quotes are as usual calling her a radfem when sheâs definitely an alt right edgelord, so yeah, unhelpful!

Feminists have been saying for a while that right-wing men donât have our interests at heart. And yet so many of you seem to naively believe they do, deep down, even though they usually donât even bother to lie about it
Right-wing libertarians donât think itâs acceptable to ask men not to use womenâs spaces, because âfreedomâ. Right-wing social conservatives do, but not to protect womenâs dignity and safety â rather, to uphold the traditional social order

My slightly controversial take is that Jessâs very left field position on psychiatry, in particular her focus on personality disorders not existing, is most likely total projectionâŚ
âPersonality disorders donât exist, they are a way of falsely labelling women with traumaâ
> is a woman with trauma who nonetheless acts like she has a personality disorder

I do get the drive to destigmatise STIs and STDs in principle. But I also worry that this sometimes blends into a sort of positivity and carelessness that just doesnât reflect the very real risks
I once saw something about a woman diagnosed with HIV who spoke candidly about the horrific stigma she faced. People framed it as something she had âdoneâ, I think someone asked her if she was ashamed of what she had âdoneâ to her family

âThere is no middle ground when dealing with homosexuality. We must not stop until homosexuality is eradicated from public life entirelyâ
- if someone said this, and then tried to argue that they just want to make marriage âone man, one womanâ, would you believe them?
We are witnessing an uncomfortable slide into fascist-adjacent language, and if you canât see that youâre a fool. Trying to pretend âtransgenderismâ means âsex change policiesâ is idiotic â nobody sensible believes you

Thinking about @cache_pasâs discussion yesterday about what constitutes a radical feminist, and the responses she got along the lines of âknowing that you canât change sexâ and ânot addressing a man as a woman or using the term transwomanâ
These replies obviously looked very silly, but I actually wonder if this confusion is whatâs behind a lot of the antifeminist bullshit (and refusal to accept criticism on this) we increasingly see from GCs and femalists

I would love to know how putting women and girls with XY chromosomes and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS) in male prisons and other such spaces is about âsafeguardingâ
16-year-old Becky goes to the doctor due to her lack of period. Itâs getting a bit late. Dr refers her for a scan
They find she has no uterus, and explain that she has XY chromosomes so will always be infertile. Itâs a pretty traumatic and confusing thing to learn about yourself

I knew we would get here. Iâm not surprised. I condemn this rhetoric totally
Let me just say to all the confused GCs, for the record: there isnât a huge difference between âtransgenderism must be eradicatedâ and âtrans people must be eradicatedâ
Itâs like the difference between âhomosexuality must be eradicatedâ and âhomosexuals must be eradicatedâ â itâs not that significant. In the end, it means a v similar thing
Or, to use the inverse: âChristianity must be eradicatedâ vs âChristians must be eradicatedâ

Sometimes, money is a means to an end. We all need money. I currently get most of my money from a big, woke American conglomerate, and I use this money to buy true food that I eat. Such is life
Money is also the hand that feeds, though. And you donât bite the hand that feeds. Which is why I canât walk around the office ranting against capitalism and being a problematic TERF

This account has been spiralling into nutty hardline femalist dickheadry for a while, but she has really shown her ass with this
As someone else said, treating intersex/DSD type issues as if theyâre A) painfully simple and B) therefore worth rounding on a v. valuable GC biologist over⌠is just playing into TRA hands. TRAs use the complexity of DSDs to wedge in the âsex is complicatedâ talk point

While it is unfair that theyâre profiling her over actual fascist men whoâve protested DQSH and such, anyone who knows anything about the far right today knows that the trans issue has, in the last year or so, become really prominent. So if KJK acts as a magnet for these menâŚ
