I think the mainstream feminist world’s obsession with vagina cupcakes and knitted ovaries is connected to how DFAB folk are privileged in trans and queer spaces over DMAB folk.

I mean, there’s more shit behind it such as DFAB people being seen as ‘trading up’ but I seriously think it’s connected. I think the feminist rhetoric such as saying women are hated because they have vaginas and penises are privileged and all the rest of it has a hell of a lot to do with all this. The bodies of DMAB folk who are pre- and non- op are seen as gross but DFAB people, including cis lesbians wearing strap ons are edgy and subversive and all the rest.

Just my 2¢, anyway.

Some femmes are dominant and some butches are submissive. Some men have vaginas and some women have penises. Sometimes what you call a clit is called a dick by it’s owner, and sometimes a dick is really a clit. Some straight men want to be penetrated and some straight women want to do it. Sometimes people aren’t men or women at all and sometimes genitals aren’t a black and white issue. Sometimes people are different to you, and always, we need to accept this.
