The main reason ppl tell victims to forgive is so they can continue to reap the benefits of a victim's silence actually. This has been a well known gaslighting technique since white people started their brutalization of anyone deemed less than them
@sarahbeliveaux Once you realize transphobes scold and scorn with the same mix of violence, indignation, shock and thwarted authority of a chomo realizing his victim doesn’t have the genitals they expected, it becomes a lot easier to write them off.
What these people cherish above all is the freedom to molest children and women without finding out they have a penis. Coming out is aposematism to them, and they hate that it works.
Transphobia really is the back breaking straw of prejudices (evidenced by the quote tweets) because it’s centered on the group most inexorably woven into the rape and pedophilia fantasies that form the crux of every right-wing pathology.
Trans voter to @AOC: Trans people in America feel like they've been abandoned by the Democratic Party, that we are a losing issue, that it's not worth defending us. What do you say to that?
AOC:
If you’re really a devoted liberal dedicated to protecting trans people you wouldn’t start screeching about their dicks being cut off. You would do this, however, if you’re a predator whose life is getting precipitously harder to keep under wraps.
@JessPected I was going to compare it to right wing men refusing to date within their ideological pool. OP shares a similar glee toward the thought of tainting women in his image (it’s obvious he isn’t talking about other men since he mentioned teachers)
@emkenobi At least half the women I’ve ever met in AA/NA had similar stories of being silenced/not believed by a family member they confided in. There’s a fixed subset of voters ready to commit family annihilation in case their pedophilia gets publicized and Trump gave them representation.
@KatieMiller Did Steve Bannon’s botfly maggot glans sheddings contribute to any health issues like a molar pregnancy or adenomyosis, or was he freakier in the sheets than a spooky ghost?
University of Michigan freshman Robert Kashan is one of many Jewish Michiganders who are alarmed that Dr. El-Sayed hasn't shown more support for the five nonnegotiables.
To Robert, these aren't crazy demands. They're a simple ask: affirmation of the same dignity, safety, and self-definition every other community receives, and the same legitimacy for Jewish statehood that every other nation receives.
Robert remains hopeful about the next couple of weeks. He is inviting Dr. El-Sayed to engage directly with his concerns and demonstrate with words and conduct that he understands and respects our community’s baseline needs.
@PetreRaleigh It also needs to comport to the white nationalist raison d'etre of triumphing by default to glorify having zero agency or things to be proud of.
Amy Acton: "My mother married a p3d0phile and defended him after he was arrested for abusing me so she lost custody of us and I have not seen her since age 12. Also, we lived in a tent when I was a kid"
Amy Acton's Mother: "That's a lie; we never lived in a tent"
