"How did someone like you produce a child who thinks so very, very much?" (also me, to my parents)

And that last #scene 👏🏿

#LosingGround is well-written and #acted, with a lot of really great #shots.

The #film covers #issues of #womanhood, #patriarchy, #race, #cultures, and more using serious #adult and #intellectual #dialogue that's still too rare in #Black #cinema.

I strongly recommend this #movie.

@AlwaysAutumn Discreetly let the person know that it's not a nice thing to say to a trans woman, as it wrongly implies:

1. We weren't always women.
2. That we've only become women by transitioning.

Or link them to the Marvel comic where a trans heroine says these things:

Prolly unpopular opinion, herein.

In several countries, including but not only Straya & Merka, over recent years but intensively now in recent months, #DragQueens seem to have become a common "face" to symbolise & represent the broad #Trans / #Transgender umbrella "community". I wish this were not so.

Undeniably #DragQueens are a vital, valid & vivacious part of the larger #LGBTQI community, & as such, seem eminently suitable as prominent representations for occasions like #Pride, #MardiGras, #Carnival & similar. More power to their manicured & lacquered hands!

Yet, essentially, #DragQueens are not #Transgender peeps, they're #Gay guys. At the end of the day, once they eventually remove their makeup wigs shoes sparkly dresses, they're guys blokes dudes. They're males who like being males, & far from aspiring to be able to #Transition into full permanent #womanhood, would actually be horrified & appalled if someone were to offer to help them "lose their junk".

Rather than #DragQueens being a prominent highly visible OTT representation of the #Trans community [by which, the Great Unwashed of the Strayan / Merkan / everywhere public form an entirely incorrect view of what it is to be #trans], i really wish that simple everyday ordinary #Transwomen could be "the face".

Ofc, that's never gonna happen, for several likely reasons, but the prominent one being... the absolute dreaded antithesis of desired outcomes for "simple everyday ordinary #Transwomen" is to be political, to be figureheads, to be in the public glare as symbols & icons. So a vacuum is left, & as nature abhors a vacuum, up gleefully step our beloved but non-representative #DragQueens ... ergo, a brilliantly sequinned spotlight target of hatred for all the mouth-breathing knuckle-dragging #RWNJ #Transphobes & #Homophobes everywhere.

Sigh. It ain't easy, being...

Film of the day: SAINT OMER (dir Alice Diop, 2022) The invisible woman: deceptively simple yet intensely absorbing subversion of the courtroom drama through the use of words and silences, exploring the way society looks at the other with compassion and openness. #drama #courtroom #immigration #womanhood #motherhood #crime #FrenchCinema

I hope y’all understand the #racism apparent here and how black #women are being expected to conform to the standards of white #womanhood in order to be actually classified as women

What if the #dictionary was good, actually:

#Woman /ˈwʊm.ən/
(noun)

An individual interpreting their being-in-the-world by engaging with physiological, social, and existential aspects of #gender in relation to the phenomenon of #womanhood as it emerges within human society.

There is and always has been something strange about being asked to define my womanhood by others who I am sure could not define their own. The idea that womanhood is and can only be one way for all women, not only strips away the concept of individuality but also forces the performative femininity that cis women only accuse non cis women of participating in.

Really have to recommend #Roar (#AppleTV). Intense vignettes and I can only watch one at a time, but very illuminating about different aspects of modern #womanhood. Incredible cast. Watch and discuss with your #BFF.

"Based on a book of short stories by #CeceliaAhern, this genre-bending anthology series weaves together 8 darkly comedic #feminist fables that take unexpected approaches to subjects like #gender roles, autonomy and #identity."

Your subjective notion of what it means to be a woman is dismissive of huge numbers of women who simply aren't "woman enough" for you.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and characteristics - and its not your, nor my, place to define what they should or should not look like, act like, behave like nor whether their internal biology is 'good enough' for you.

4/5

#ShahziaSikander’s three-part commission at Madison Square Park solidifies the intrinsic ties between #womanhood and #nature.

A lot of #TERF rethoric evolves around the "purity" of #womanhood, achieved by talking down on anything #masculine. This goes as far as writing womyn instead of women, which is simply childish and ridiculous. 

Like, this whole goldstar #lesbian bullshit. It imagines a gay hierarchy, that simply does not exist. “I am a goldstar lesbian, meaning I am better than you, who has slept with males.” It “upholds” lesbians, who have never slept with just one single man in their lives. As if you were unworthy of the label lesbian, if you had sex with a man, and aren’t really a lesbian, if you did, or, gods be good, even enjoyed it!

TERFs seem to be absurdly affraid of #masculinity and are obsessed with the purity of femininity. Without reason! There is nothing in masculinity that is inherently fightening. Women can be perpetrators as much as men. TERFs are the best example of it. A lot boils down to socialization and a government that has failed to protect their citicens. But it’s not men alone, who are the bad ones. The overwhelming majoritiy of TERFs are white cis women, right after white cis men one of the most privileged groups in the world.

I'm quite sure it is finished now. My interpretation of #LittleRedRidingHood and the #wolf in #ink. I tryed to implement some symbols of #initiaton to #womanhood, as this is an initiation tale, featuring the cycle of the trinity of the mother godess.
