I’ve actually heard some transphobes say that hysterectomies should be banned because the uterus is a vital organ that women need to survive

Yes it’s awesome and sexy. Don’t be a weenie.

The term is “intersex” (which covers a broad range of sex variation including “true hermaphroditism” though the term hermaphrodite is considered offensive when applied to a human). Typically intersex people are assigned either male or female at birth. If they are born with ambiguous genitalia, they are given surgery as infants to make them match their assigned sex (which has many negative side effects such as scarring, sterility, pain during urination/sex, and gender dysphoria). They may also be forced onto hormones to make them go through the “correct” puberty. Conservatives are generally in support of this practice, and laws that have been passed against trans healthcare have contained exceptions to allow for nonconsensual procedures on intersex children

Hentai is just drawn porn. Not all of it is rape stuff, and there’s loads of rape/incest/abuse roleplay in live action porn too.

I’ve seen white europeans be like “I’ve never encountered any racism in europe!” Well that is because you are white

Sex is a lot more complicated than male/female. There’s a bunch of different sex characteristics that make up “sex” and people can have all sorts of different combinations of them. If you just use a male/female binary, that doesn’t tell people what sex characteristic you’re referring to. Maybe something affects people based on chromosones, in which case people who are xy but otherwise “female” (like with cais) would go in the “male” category and vice versa. Or maybe something affects people based on hormones, in which case transgender people taking hrt would have to be categorized based on that. If you say “male/female”, no one knows if you’re talking about hormones, or genitals, or chromosones, or gonads, or whatever else, so it’s best to be specific and use language like “people with [body part]”

People with vaginas is the right terminology if discussing something that pertains to vaginas. Eg. “People with vaginas should make sure to see a gynecologist regularly.” in this case, saying “women” would exclude/misgender many trans and intersex people who have vaginas but are not women, while also including some women who do not have vaginas and would not need to see a gynecologist

Suicide forums are really a symptom of a much bigger issue about how we as a society talk about suicide. Banning them really won’t help

Not me but really funny - when my mom was little she thought white people weren’t real. She thought they were made up for tv

The mcdonalds app is a scam to get you to agree to their arbitration clause

If tumblr is dead lemmy is fucking extinct we’ve got way less active users

It’s not perfect, but it is an indicator. I mean if I heard someone talking with say a chinese accent I’d probably assume their race is asian.

You’ve never heard of an accent?

The core idea of radical feminism is that humanity is divided into two groups - male (ontologically evil, sexual predators from birth) and female (weak, incapable of harm, in need of protecting) while some radical feminists define these groups as being based in assigned sex, and others define them by gender identity, it’s the ideology as a whole that is transphobic, and harmful in many other ways It is far from typical feminist beliefs. Thty advocate for things such as female seperatism, and killing all those they consider men or culling them to a small population to be kept only for breeding.

The issue with the term is that radical feminism is transphobic by definition so why specify “trans exclusionary”

You’re against things that alter kids minds and bodies? Like puberty? Well luckily there’s a way to stop that! Puberty blockers, which have been safely used for decades and are considered a medical necessity by WPATH as well as many other health organizations!
