Welcome to the weekly Fairer Disputations round-up: your one-stop shop for the best in sex-realist feminism. This week: Matilda Dods on regretting the nudes she once freely posted online, Benjamin Ryan on taking the question of trans violence seriously, and Caitlin Estes on whether women rejecting birth control are foolish. Plus: what Parliament should know about surrogacy, girls who want out, feminists who argued themselves out of being women, the tragedy of the tradwife—and more!
First, Matilda Dods writes about how she evolved from willfully posting nude images of herself as a form of empowerment to regretting that these images were shared with the world.
Second, in the wake of the Charlie Kirk murder and the Annunciation shooting, Benjamin Ryan does a deep dive into what we know about trans violence.
Finally, Caitlin Estes argues that women deserve holistic fertility education, and that we should not dismiss women as “foolish” for going off birth control.
