Just when you thought Everyday Transactivism could no longer surprise * title edited by MNHQ*

How are people discriminated against for not wanting or having sexual relationships?

In many ways, if they are women who don't have relationships with men. Other than that though, yeah, not so much.

@mirror: Why on earth would any actual TERF do that? Anyone who grovels to a man does not deserve to be called a TERF, in my opinion.

Gaysoc Love it - short and sweet!

Heyroly I'm so old that my uni just had Gaysoc! How quaint. I mean how cisprivileged and multiple marginalised identity exclusionary.

I'm surprised K for kinky hasn't got in there.

When I was at university it was just LGB, not even LGBT.

All of the extra initials smacks a bit of people being too desperate to be "queer" or "not mainstream". And when I say "people" I mean "teenagers on Tumblr".

YY. Surely everything that talks about sex others and excludes them though? I don't see much consideration for that from sex pos libfems, porn loving male allies or transactivists.

At least the alphabet soup already has a G, so no room for Greysexuality.

The LGBTQIA for some reason includes asexual people, which is insane. How are people discriminated against for not wanting or having sexual relationships?

It's very difficult to tell, given that inexplicably, Everyday Feminism is not a parody.

I think that Guerella Feminism might be a parody? I hope it is anyway.

"Fiddling while Rome burns" - precisely this. And (again, sorry to keep banging on about this) not only do they not give a fuck about women who're going to be forced to give birth (and I suspect in future also denied birth control - make no mistake, Trump and his merry men are planning full on Handmaid's Tale here), they don't give a fuck about their fellow trans folk either. Are they out there doing anything for the poor trans folk in the south who're now having their windows broken and "fag" and swastikas painted on their doors? Are they arse. They're too busy with jerking off online telling women (who I think we can safely say are not the ones threatening the genuine bone-breaking, burn-your-house-down variety of real world violence) to "die in a fire."

God ben you know all that sciency stuff

You should care about people having sexual feelings and not acting on them because... erm... people who have sexual feelings and don't act on them change the ambient temperature of the surrounding air (scientific fact) and makes it less comfortable for people who are sitting in Costa but haven't brought a jumper out with them.

So check your privilege Mx "I don't care about people with sexual feelings who don't act on them" - so selfish.

Thank you my friends, this is the best and funniest part of the interweb. Makes me proud to be a woman. Or womyn. Or wombyn. I'm cool with all three :)

Arf at cis tears.

They only ever mean female cis tears, not male ones.

Not that there's any such thing as female, obviously.

And also why the effing jeffing fuckity doo dah, is it now a sexuality, to sometimes be too tired to have a shag?

Since when is that its own snowflake category?

These people are fucking mental. Fucking Trump is president, women in the USA are being thrown back to the 1950's and these fucking arseholes are spending their time massaging the egos of dysfunctional men adn telling sensible women we should do the same, pausing only to examine their own fucking navels. Absolute batshit arseholes.

Talk about fiddling while Rome burns.

The earth is plunged into everlasting night. Riley's Adam's apple has blocked out the sun. But revenge is coming and they will bathe in cis tears, like the slogan on those lovely badges they're selling on Etsy. The terfs will be stomped.

Basil and Rufus - I just woke my kid up by snorting so loudly. Stop it.

Seriously, who gives a single flying fuck whether someone has sexual feelings that they don't want to act on? Why is this relevant to feminism?

Basil

That only affects boring old cis women though, who gives a fuck about them.

Says out loud:

Transwomen are men
Transwomen are men
Transwomen are men

I took one for the team and googled greysexual

Its were you have sexual feelings but dont want to do anything aboit it

So part way between asexual and sexual

Marriage in other words

You know what they never talk about in EF? The fact that the US is one of the only countries in the world without universal paid maternity leave. Now that to me is a MASSIVE issue that affects millions of women. But no. Let's hire a lot of people who say things like "ze identifies as a Griffyn" and who write about How Polyamory is a Privilege.
