I once vaguely knew someone who was poly way before it was a commonly known thing (like, 20 years ago). Then she got married and had a kids and lived a very rural life in a farmhouse. Couldn’t have seemed more traditional.Every polyam couple/trio/quartet I've met have been deeply into kink. Usually the kind that degrades women and leaves them with marks and bruises.
Rest assured I no longer move in those circles.
Interestingly my trans male friend found the opposite on dating apps! He met *a lot* of women when he was on the apps and they were fully aware he was trans. Some of the women told him they felt "safer" with him which is a very clumsy way of putting it but I think I get what they mean. You are right though that having children is an issue, he was a bit younger at the time but I know it has come up now he's in his 30s.
That's interesting, and I'd be curious to know if these women identified as straight or bisexual. I personally couldn't even when people have tried to pressure/convince me IRL, but it's nice that there's some dating options for trans people. Now if the very active ones on social media would stop trying to police everyone's sexuality that would be lovely.
That is horrific and so angering. How dare men tell women we shouldn't have the right to protection FROM THEM.
That’s interesting and I can understand that in a way.
To think I’ve always voted Labour, not anymore! I wonder if they are so far from power that they are just going for sabotage where they can

Talking about this in a political way, I found it stuck out a bit that someone I know who is a socialist and very ‘woke’ did not watch in inauguration of the very first female Vice President and the first woman to hold the second highest office in America, the first woman of colour etc because they didn’t agree with her politics. He even went so far to make a post on Facebook crowing about it, making a flippant comments. He’s the first to say he’s a feminist, first to say he supports all women, yet he purposefully watched something else and then boasted about it on social media. I don’t agree with Kamala Harris’ political 100% even though I would call myself liberal. But I did think it was important for me (as I had the ability and free time) to witness a woman progress even higher to the position of President. It just seems women have to be 100% infallible to be respected in politics, especially if they go for main roles. I’ve said in the past that even though I don’t necessarily support all their views, it’s great to see more women in politics and the response I get from the typical woke feminist men is ‘just because they are a woman doesn’t mean they are any good.’ I don’t think I’ve ever heard them say ‘just because they are transgender/gay/black/disabled/etc doesn’t mean they are any good’. No being part of a minority (whatever it is) doesn’t automatically mean you’re great at your job, but I still think it’s nice to see such diversity after such a long time of these jobs being out of reach for people.It's time for feminists to stop falling for 'good guys'
Feminism has to be non-partisan, because the left has demonstrated for decades they want nothing to do with our fight.
i have to write something to be able to post this link.
See this is exactly the kind of bi-erasure I was talking about a while back. When I was growing up, pansexuality and bisexuality were two discrete sexualities. Nowadays, if bisexuals aren't also pansexual, you're transphobic. If lesbians don't accept transwomen into their dating pool, they're transphobic. If anything that isn't pansexual is transphobic, what is the point of sexuality? I thought we had moved on from the antiquated, discriminatory 'preferences' idea that sexuality is something within our control or that we can change. I'm never going to want to date a transman because I don't find vaginas sexually appealing, end of story. Frankly, I don't give a damn whatever kind of 'phobic' that is. I would rather be a ~ tRaNsPhObE ~ than the kind of moron who demands other categories of sexuality cease to exist to make trans people feel better.
TRAs will usually say you could date transwomen then for the d.
Ah but I’m not attracted to women and they’re women, right?
I've been taken to a gay night club by a friend and it was fine. I think it's different because women have a tendency to be more respectful and even if one tried to perv on a gay man, she wouldn't be a threat. Whereas there's a history of men perving on women especially lesbians which many straight guys view as a sort of fetish.
This was what peaked me.
