“Forbidden Magic” is a popular fiction series featuring romantic, steamy encounters with all manner of characters on Azeroth.
Elton Mulligan doesn’t know this however.
He assumes the series is legitimately about “forbidden magic” since the title is usually as far as he gets before tossing it onto one of his haphazard piles. He swears he’s scavenged books just like this one several times before but never read any.. mostly because he forgets he has them.. and because they don’t stay in his research piles for very long.
Leon’s actually doing him a big favor by removing these frivolous fictional novels from otherwise “valuable” historical and medical material. He’s amassed quite a collection by now.
More WIP of that Garon doodle from earlier! Don’t know if I’ll shade him yet, guess we’ll see how I feel tomorrow 😀 but now I’m gonna go roll into bed Full view here!!
i am very disturbed when i see some crimes against women described as “brutal rape” and others as “rape”. there are not levels of brutality when it comes to rape. all rape is soul-crushingly, devastatingly brutal.
Which is why we should put trans women in situations where they’re at heightened risk for rape by denying them protections from workplace or housing discrimination or access to bathrooms or other facilities where they could be safe. Wait…
if you want to talk about trans women make your own original post because i don’t appreciate “what about the males!!!” derails on mine
And if I were doing that, you’d have a point. Instead, I’m saying “Care about all women, not just the ones you give your personal stamp of approval.” Which is something Radical Feminism seems to have serious trouble with. If you’re white, western, cis, not a sex worker, and relatively affluent, great. If not, screw you, your very existence is in conflict with Radical Feminism, apparently.
But, yeah, hypocrisy is fun, as is veiled or open misogyny toward any woman you don’t approve of. Nothing unfeminist about that.
Radical feminism prioritizes women and intersectionality has a special focus specifically not on white able bodied economically stable women, so I don’t know where the hell you’re getting your information.
Anyway, because radical feminism prioritizes women, trans women are not welcome as they are males. There is nothing changeable nor escapable about biology and the cold hard facts are that trans women are male.
Let’s take this step by step.
Radical feminism prioritizes women and intersectionality has a special focus specifically not on white able bodied economically stable women, so I don’t know where the hell you’re getting your information.
I’unno, from looking at contemporary Radical Feminism’s actions rather than words, and seeing how you show anything from disregard to open hostility to anyone not matching my description, unless you’re bandying “intersectionality” or examples of WoC or other RadFem to silence people pointing out that you do a shitty job of supporting them and tend to default to a “universal womanhood” that describes white, cis, able-bodied, relatively affluent women while excluding or invalidating the experiences of women of color, trans women, disabled women, and poor women.
Anyway, because radical feminism prioritizes women
No, it doesn’t, because it only includes or provides help to women you approve of. You damage sex workers, do things they repeatedly say are damaging to them, so you don’t prioritize them. You deny the womanhood of trans women, so you don’t prioritize them. You support imperialism that hurts non-Western women in an attempt to “liberate” them, so you don’t prioritize them. You ignore and erase the experiences of WoC except when you’re using them as a shield, so you don’t prioritize them.
trans women are not welcome as they are males.
Sorry, but wrong.
There is nothing changeable nor escapable about biology
Yep! That’s why birth control is forbidden. Why people who get cancer just die. Why we don’t treat illnesses. Why we never use tools or cultural conventions to overcome biological limitations.
Oh, wait.
the cold hard facts are that trans women are male.
Still wrong, but let’s dig deeper. You’re basing this on biology. Literally all ”male” means, biologically speaking, is that they produce smaller gametes, assuming a functional reproductive system. Which is indeed true and can’t currently be changed, but has no relevance to anything. Literally everything that defines the social construct that you call “Female” in a way you care about is changeable or can vary. Socialization, hormone balance, anatomy, etc.
There’s also the issue that going by your strict biological definition, people with complete androgen insensitivity syndrome are male, despite being phenotypically female, being socialized as female, being treated as female, experiencing misogyny, being subjected to female gender roles, having lower testosterone than most “biological females”, etc. Are you seriously going to class them as male just because they produce sperm in the face of all that? Or are you going to class them as female, because that’s how society treats them? Or are you going to ask them what they identify as, and treat them as that?
Better yet, XX males actually are ”biologically male”, despite having XX chromosomes, so what are you going to say about that?
