Ok, let's get this started! I'm trying to raise awareness of issues that only affect female bodies. I'll bring links to more info on each issue. I will start from what are considered big issues that barely anyone seems to care at all. Let's do it!
Men can't breastfeed because men can't produce breastmilk. There's a protocol with a cocktail of drugs for nausea and schizophrenia that may lead to a condition called galactorrhea, which may produce a "milky-like" nipple discharge, but it's not breastmilk. 1/
Brazilian women are heartbroken again today. A 39yo man raped a 5 day old baby girl in Brazil on May 14. His partner is the baby's grandmother. They are a very young family, the baby's father is only 18, hence the age of the partner of the grandmother. They all live together. 1/
The man who was challenged by a woman in the female toilets, got angry and shot her dead, has been finally arrested yesterday, I've been told. This happened in Brazil. The woman was in a restaurante with her husband and kids, he was there with his wife and kids. He went to the 1/

In 2019 I was punched 5 times on the back of my head by a stranger who saw me saying to a friend that biological sex matters in a medical context.
Allowing men who say they are women to book cervical screenings will take slots from women who need to have cervical screenings. It can't be allowed, resources reserved for women's health are already scarce and women who miss their screening will die!
The Canadian Cancer society is now allowing trans women (men) to book cervical examinations. Hmmm Just one thing missing, A CERVIX!! What waste of tax payer time and money on an already burdened health system. ๐ก Meanwhile REAL women XX are waiting to get in.
@cancersociety
The victim has now given permission to share the video she made of her aggressor. Watch the moment in which he says that challenging his presence in the female toilet is equivalent to "racism". Full video description in the article below x

University of Brasilia's staff didn't expel a male student despite him accusing people of "phobias" for disagreeing with him, threatening them with lawsuits, and wearing sexualized clothing. In 2022, he assaulted a woman.

women are really trying to address male violence against women and we can't do that while men are saying that women are not oppressed anymore and while dehumanising us by calling women "cervix havers" with front holes. We really can't. We're not terfs. We're women.
Nope, women are not sexually aroused when they breastfeed. This is being said to excuse the man who admitted he was aroused with a baby. Same reason men said when they were caught with their penis out and said that women do it, too.
Women, let's do a social experiment, shall we? Next time you see men making unreasonable demands to women, demands that will harm women, just write "No" to them. Simply write: No. Nothing else. Don't use memes. Write No.
Watch the reaction.
It's Friday and, so far, a person felt unsafe with women leafleting, NHS urged to use the term "frontal birth" in pregnancy, Edinburgh Napier Uni teaches to medical students that men can gestate, and there's a list of women to be reported for fighting against female oppression.
Brazilian media was informed that this man, who shot a woman 3 times (1 of them in the head), killing her, already had a criminal record. This was another femicide. This was male violence against a woman. A violent man was free to commit violence. Now another woman is dead. End/
Declaration: we, women, object to being called cisgender, menstruators, ovulators, uterus/womb havers.

China's one child policy led the country to several damaging outcomes, like sex-selective abortions of female fetuses and infanticide of girls. This policy has been terminated but the country is struggling to raise the numbers of births:
For the American politician who said she doesn't know what a woman is bc she's not a biologist: it didn't take a team of biologists to decide who were girls to forbid them from going to school in Afghanistan. All it took was men legislating over women.
Many Afghan girls were left in tears as the Taliban reversed their earlier decision to allow them back to school โ halfway through the first day in class.
The baby girl is in hospital. The 39yo man lacerated the victim's genitals with his penis. Forensic evidence of the injuries clarified that baby was not hurt with fingers, like he said initially. I hope he rots in jail.
Any man who feels entitled to use a female only space like a female toilet is a threat to women and children. However they claim to be. It's about female boundaries. Women have a right to privacy away from those adults born with male anatomy.
Oh my world, I'm so damn happy. My 8yo (on the autism spectrum) has just revealed to me that he has 5 friends at school! I'm actually crying, tears of joy for him. So proud of him and his progress, this is such an achievement!
Btw: this was not a man who said "I'm a woman". This was a man who used a female toilet for "reasons" and was challenged by a woman for using the female toilet. This was both male entitlement and a femicide. We need to be clear about this when talking about single sex spaces!

@bindelj
We're not transphobes for objecting to fgm survivors being called transphobes for using the word female in female genital mutilation. There's no transphobia in demanding single sex spaces to remain single sex. Male sexual abuse against women is real. DV is real.
After that, as young as 8, girls could be sold as brides. This harmful practice happens all over the world and even in many developed countries like the USA:
Last night, I received an unexpected message sent by a man who downloaded my report "Women's Sex-Based Oppression in The 21st Century". With his permission, I'll reproduce it here:
"Hi Andreia, I have two girls and a boy who were brought up with utmost respect and love..." 1/
The nipple discharge men produce if galactorrhea is induced by the drugs cocktail is not breastmilk because breastmilk, even in women, can only be produced after pregnancy/childbirth. Males can't get pregnant, gestate and give birth, therefore they can't produce breastmilk. End/
female toilet for "reasons", she challenged him, he "got angry", left his family in the restaurant, went home, got a gun, came back to the restaurant and shot the woman who challenged him in the female toilet. For "reasons" (like challenging his presence in the female toilet). 2/
Everyone demanding women to be referred as womb carriers/cervix havers/vulva owners with front holes is responsible for the overturning of Roe vs Wade. Many women objected to this dehumanising language and alerted you this would happen. Now take responsibility for your actions.
Male anesthetist arrested in Brazil. Nurses worried abt amount of sedatives he was giving to pregnant women during c-sections and left hidden cameras. While obstetrician performed the surgery he unzipped trousers and put his penis in the mothers mouth.
I live with coercive control. I was yet, a few days ago, under silent treatment punishment for spending 3h on a video call with a woman last weekend. The "deal" here, it seems, is that I'm not allowed to do so. 99% of the time, I have no idea what I've done to anger him.
I have an announcement to make. When I denounce male violence against women, men spend days attacking me AFTER I denounce yet another case of male violence against women. So, from now on, I will not talk about male violence against women daily. I'll do that hourly. Cheers.
#RespectMySex
If you don't know what it is to be born in a female body, I don't give you permission to tell me that a woman is whoever identifies as a woman. A woman is an adult human female. I am a woman. If you were born with male anatomy, you're not of my sex class.
I have been brave. I was punched 5 times in the back of my head for saying to a friend "sex matters in a medical context." You all sex deniers can't beat all of us. Most will keep going like I did.
#BeBraver
Females should decide if they want children and when. No contraceptive is 100% effective and sexual abuse is rampant, resulting in unplanned pregnancies. Few countries have proper abortions rights. New Zealand is a developed country still debating it:
I stay away from Twitter one day to find out that pronouns are falling off bios like leaves in the autumn.

Trauma after sexual abuse is very very real. Women have a right to privacy away from those born with male anatomy. The ones who have been abused and the ones who know men abuse and want to avoide it. Male sexual abuse against women is rampant. Mandatory motherhood is rampant.

I'm a Brazilian woman. Humble background (didn't starve, just enough food to not starve). Sexually abused at 8yo. Told I wasn't meant to be good at Maths. Forbidden from climbing trees and playing sports. Cross your legs when you sit, you don't want to be raped!

Sometimes, females are admitted to hospital for a surgery under general anesthesia, or are unconscious after a physical trauma, and medical students are asked to perform vaginal exams on them:
To the men telling women "be kind" to male criminals who committed sexual abuse: no. You're not being kind to women. We want to be treated with kindness, too. Where's your kindness towards women?
A special shout out to men telling women to stay home: no. You stay home. Period.
Women's rights matter. The sex of perpetrators of violence and their victims matter. Acknowledging the statistics of male violence against women matter. Ending sex stereotypes matter. Centering women in issues that affect women matter. Spread the word. Join the fight! End/
At 1st, police questioned father and grandmother. Things didn't add up so they questioned the grandmother's male partner. He said his hand "slipped" while changing a nappy and he might have hurt the baby, before confessing raping her with his penis. He has now been arrested. 3/

I probably have empathy because I'm a mum. Journalists lie a lot! She laughed and asked me if I was a man or a woman ๐ I said "I'm a woman". I asked her her age. She's 89 and she's going to the seaside. Anyway, here she is:
Tutorial for Owen and Ash about parenthood:
A mother asked me today if my 13yo boy is allowed to have Coca-Cola at her daughter's birthday party.
That's how parenthood actually is done in the real word.
Listen, friends, I really watched the whole What is a Woman doc by Matt Walsh, I did a whole thread on it, and I will never, ever, not on my dead body, endorse his views on abortion. Is that clear? Can I lose like 5k followers now for that? Cause I really couldn't care less.

We object to dehumanising language towards women and girls, already so dehumanised by porn. We object to being forbidden from talking about issues that only affect affect women and girls. We object to lose jobs, being punched and vilified for fighting against female oppression.
@WhitlockJason
No. Blocked him months ago. No one can force me to interact with a man who demands little girls to take a pregnancy to term, risking their lives. Pregnancy is no place for little girls and women have a right to choose whether they want to gestate or not. It's a no from me.

Female oppression is global, and women are oppressed because they have their reproductive labour exploited by men. We have achieved a lot in some places, while other places still need so much work. Women are dying in childbirth birth, in botched abortions, by medical negligence
Scary times. My 13yo tells me that today a man tried to get into the little patch of woods their school uses (which is protected by fence and gate). When this failed, the man simply pulled down his trousers in front of the kids. Kids called the police and the man was arrested.
In 2016, the news reported that a 16yo girl was gang raped by 33 men in Rio de Janeiro during a whole weekend. The rapists also filmed the rape and videos, audios and images were posted on Twitter. At time, I had a really hard time to understand how this could have happened. 1/
Birmingham paedophile rapist sped at 111mph after invite from friend to join abuse and rape of young girl.
They only got 9 and 9.5 years.
Sick bastards!
Some commentary on What is a Woman doc:
The first woman Matt Walsh interviews says shea was "assigned female at birth." Then Walsh asks "what is a woman" and she says: "I'm not a woman so I can really answer that."
Brazilian indigenous women coerced to have unnecessary c-sections, struggling with health issues, far away from the nearest health care provider. Lack of c-sections when is needed, however, kill thousands of females and babies every year
Dress however you please.
Call yourself whatever you like.
Sleep with any consenting adult whoโll have you.
Live your best life in peace and security.
But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real?

The sheer reality is that a 15yo girl was raped in her school by a boy who was allowed to use a toilet where she was. The school? They covered it all up. Told her father that she had an "altercation" with a boy. Got father arrested. Let boy go. Now, he attacked another girl.
So many women are survivors of sexual abuse. Stop asking women if they are "checking genitals." Many times, their abuse consisted of being forced to see male genitalia they had no wish to see. Whoever asks this is sexually abusing women all over again.
Two females, 17 and 23yo, were kidnapped, raped, beheaded and then... raped again, after the beheading. The suspects arrested were 17, 18 and even a 13yo. And pl say that males don't have physical advantage over females.
