“Trans women are stealing our HRT” is such a good example of how trans exclusionary feminism reroutes cis women towards conservatism. Instead of joining the fight against the capitalist state to liberate sex alteration, they’re blaming other women.
@VT5210 Being killed by an axe murderer is straightforward, digestible, & expeditious. It brings catharsis to the victim, an element lacking from zoomer daily life. To understand gen Z horror is to understand the labryinthinian, perennial, & formless anxieties of the modern age.
"Cats don't actually love you"
A cat is a small creature in the middle of the food chain that is fully aware that you are a very large thing that could stomp its head in at any moment and yet it chooses to rest its tiny little head on your leg for a nap and spreads out on the floor near you exposing its belly and its most sensitive organs. It brings dead mice and bugs to you to share food.
Don't you get it? This tiny thing trusts you. It wants to help you too. It licks your leg thinking that it's helping. It kneads on you to find comfort. It shares its body warmth with you in the cold and gives you your space in the heat. It hisses at other mammals it sees outside including other cats in an effort to protect its family.
Cats love you so so much. But they will keep trying to eat plastic.
"male socialisation" rhetoric is simply an effort to deny trans girls any interiority pre-transition: no one talks about gay ppl being "straight-socialised", bc we understand that the experience of growing up gay differs markedly from the norm... (🧵)
