this has happened to me more times than i can count — i’ve found out when they ejaculate on me (a lot of times on my face without asking) that they took the condom off somewhere in the middle of sex. recently, a man i regularly hooked up with told me he “couldn’t come with a condom on” and i asked how he did it when we had sex before and he laughed and said, “i took it off less than half way through.”
this is something men don’t take seriously, but women are forced to — we’re the ones who have to get the plan b, who have to go get tested, who have to stress about what will happen next. men minds turn off the second after they orgasm.
it is absolutely non-consensual to take a condom off without the sex partner knowing.
Men seem to have no idea how fucking cruel this is, those weeks we spend afterward, panicking over whether we might be pregnant and what we’re going to do about it if we are and what if we caught something? Nah, they probably do have a sense of it; they just don’t fucking care, or they get off on the idea of putting a woman in distress weeks or more after the sexual act has ended.
You are scum if you fucking do this, condone this. End of discussion.
They don’t do it only to us, women. My sister is a doctor and gay men have gone to her consults asking for exams and some have actually shared how their latest hookup removed the condomn without their knowledge and so they were scared to have an STD. Anyone that does this to anyone deserves no respect.
“For three months I was disguised as a man, and very successfully… I passed my mother several times … she never recognized me.” Frieda Belinfante, a half-Jewish lesbian, used this disguise to hide from Nazi authorities. In a later interview she said, “I really looked pretty good.” Her involvement in the #resistance movement included planning the destruction of the #Amsterdam Population Registry in March 1943, falsifying identity cards, and arranging hiding places for those who were sought by the Nazis. She was forced to hide after many other members of the Netherlands-based gay resistance group were executed in 1943 by occupying Nazi authorities. In December 1943, Frieda escaped to Switzerland and later immigrated to the US.
Frieda’s contribution showed the scope of complexity and diversity of the resistance movement to aid others that many faced during the era of the #Holocaust.
Tfw nazis literally burnt Hirschfeld’s (sp?) papers so we wouldn’t be in the history books
Like I wanna be really clear. Hirschfeld was literally moving to a depathologized explanation of trans women (inversion as variance not defect) and was advocating for providing trans women with HRT and surgery, all the while treat numerous trans women with hormones, in the early 1930s. Berlin had a thriving trans and gay community you have never heard of because the nazis destroyed it and the systematically erased evidence of it.
It’s not that trans women have only existed the last thirty years, it’s that you have been intentionally denied knowledge of our history by reactionaries who want to see us dead.
Someday I will have time to write up a full timeline of verified or suspected trans people in history, but until then:
1890 – 1962: Alan Hart, trans man, one of the first known people in the U.S. to undergo gender reassignment surgery, also pioneered improvements in screening for tuberculosis
1854-1929: Osh-Tisch, Two Spirit (gender category roughly analogous to trans woman in various Native American cultures, specifically Crow culture in this case), a warrior so badass her name translates to “Finds Them and Kills Them”
1629: Thomas/Thomasine Hall, an intersex servant accused of fornication, who baffled the court by declaring that he/she was both male and female. Said court eventually agreed (or just got frustrated enough to give up), declared Hall both male and female, and ordered him/her to wear a mix of feminine and masculine clothes henceforward
440 BC: Greek historian Herodotus records the existence of “enarees,” a term that has variously been translated as “man-woman,” “hermaphrodite,” and “eunuch,” and which likely describes people we would now call transgender
tl;dr: You can find plenty of documentation of transgender people in history long before the 1900s, you just have to look.
1728 – 1810: Chevalier d’Éon, French diplomat, spy, and soldier. Raised as a man and lived as such until 1777, when King Louis XVI recognized her as a woman officially (settling a public debate about her gender). The official story was that she was female, but had been raised as a man so that her father could inherit from his in-laws. She lived as a woman until her death. A postmortem examination found she was biologically male or possibly intersex.
The Indian trans community Hijra is mentioned in ancient text
“The Hijra community has been mentioned in ancient literature, the most known of which is the Kama Sutra, a Hindu text on human sexual behavior written sometime between 400 BCE and 200 CE” [x]
