What is the "Material Existence of Being Female." I'm guessing you mean assigned gender? The gender you were raised to follow? The experience of being expected to follow a gender role? Or do you mean the 5 year old understanding of genitals and karyotypes?
TERFs want to exclude people who are inconvenient to them. It's the psychology of cooties at a national scale. The idea of an indelible mark on people at birth that separates them into the male and female that cannot be removed or changed. Be who we tell you to be. Here is your place. Non-fungible gender.
Name it whatever you like, it is still the same ignorance and intolerance.
- gecrfe 4y ago> What is the "Material Existence of Being Female." I'm guessing you mean assigned gender? No, I mean sex. From a radical feminist perspective, this is what women and girls have been and still are oppressed and disadvantaged by, as a class. For example, if you consider women denied the right to vote, this was imposed based on them being female, whether it's the pre-1920s United States, or Saudi Arabia prior to 2015. Another example, if you look at Afghanistan under the Taliban right now, women and girls denied the right to education are being persecuted on this basis due to being female. They can't just somehow reassign themselves to the male sex and identify out of this oppression, that's not how it works.
