@TransF1xed I like how your post was simply addressing how hurtful and disrespectful that post was, just for the reply to call you a piece of shit and a cunt. Like good job enforcing her entire point in commenting in the first place
@LilithLovett It’s because we’re big freakish men who MUST take up space. We just can’t help it since we’re men and grew up as men and will always be men.
But seriously we need to keep calling out this rhetoric because too many queer people are agreeing with TERFs and it’s really damaging
@bluzoan This encapsulates so much of why this entire discussion (and most discussions about trans women) frustrates me so much. So many people dance around saying “I think trans women are men playing dress up” and the fact so many queer people think that way is not talked about enough
This may be controversial but here we go. It does not, will not, ever, help the trans community, for these choose your own adventure NB Queers to play inverted no definition bullshit. Women are a social class based on the female sex, the average woman does not have a beard and is biologically not supposed to (we are not talking special cases). These people exist in every subculture, people who want to be so open minded their brain falls out and definitions cease to categorize the group as anything other than a meaningless label. Maybe your gender expression includes male and female sex characteristics, fine, you're non-binary, but to clutch your pearls and act like the average person is ever going to accept your ultra-abstract postmodern definitions beyond deep academia is beyond privileged. No trans woman in their right mind wants a beard and I wish these people would sit down, shut up, and listen to what we say about ourselves.
@Azazel_Star_@rlycrossedup You aren’t owed an explanation, especially when you make up narratives that you think I fit (like the “oh wait let me guess”). I’d discuss it in DMs if you really care. This isn’t something that I can fully articulate in replies due to the character limit
@bread732@EPM106 If you’re going to claim how any group thinks and acts, but arent a part of said population, you’re an asshole. Just because trans men and trans women are both trans does NOT mean they can talk ON BEHALF of one another. The fact that even needs said is insane to me
@Azazel_Star_@rlycrossedup This isn’t a conversation I could possibly fit in replies on Twitter and even if I could, you make it clear you don’t want a conversation since you really like to say some opinion I never said, but claim I said it
@Azazel_Star_@rlycrossedup I implore you to look into the looking glass self if you genuinely believe that. We aren’t talking about comfortability with oneself. If their identity is purely internal, then they aren’t truly living as a trans person
@BBrideley If these people cared about having an honest conversation, they wouldn’t have platformed those shitty opinions to begin with. He wasn’t championing the male socialization narrative out of the goodness of his heart, he said it because he’s a poser and a bigot
@Rtloyalist2@ellagoer_t4t I think it’s moreso any dipshit loser can put themselves in front of a camera and act like they have any say on any given topic. That isn’t exclusive to any specific demographic. Idk who the people in the video are or what they do, but I do know they’re fucking losers
@serversidesarah@ellagoer_t4t It doesn’t matter who he’s speaking for, he’s speaking in front of a camera to an audience. His opinion would’ve, and has, reached thousands. And if what you say is bigoted and weird, you’re a fucking loser. Words mean something and it isn’t up to the viewer to extrapolate nuance
@ellagoer_t4t I need to keep reminding myself that anyone who isn’t trans themselves has no fucking clue how we actually think or act. Most queer people just extrapolate information from what the media says about us, which we all know the media has transphobia baked into it
@polypocketknife I dissociated 90% of my life before admitting to myself I wanted to transition. Even if I remembered my childhood, teenage years, even most of my early adulthood, I very much view it as “that person wore my face and had my name, but wasn’t. I wasn’t supposed to be born as them.”
@emilunar13@InstantSunrise Even if it is surface level, the shit they say is still tonedeaf, bigoted, and just fucking stupid. The amount of times nonbinary AFABs say transphobic shit and act like they’re in the right because they’re queer is insane. They’re the textbook definition of posers
@krispersalad It’s because they are actually disconnected from trans people and they use their identity in order to be “valid” in their shitty and bigoted opinions
