@fateofaditya I thought you meant drag name as in, a drag queen name, and I was confused 💀

[Bet @simplyb3t]

Yeah that's not a psyop, that's an autistic trans girl having a meltdown and getting pepper sprayed.

[Bet @simplyb3t]

@JovVolkov @redcardiganz Liking some women doesn't preclude you from acting sexist. Eg, using terms like bitch and slut against women you dislike is misogynist.
And men who are sexist towards taylor swift usually don't respect regular women very much! Even he loves his girlfriend.

[Bet @simplyb3t]

@Isabellazpug And people telling incels to just hire sex workers, and imprisoned trans women being housed with the most violent male prisoners

[Bet @simplyb3t]

Policing your kids interests and friendships based on what you find weird is a great way to make your kids hate you

[easy e @eatpraydiehard]

i came across this woman on tiktok and she’s actually great. her whole thing is to well socialize your kids. discourage them from strange obsessive hobbies or interests. don’t let them have weird friends. it’s a message we don’t hear enough of and is increasingly important

[Bet @simplyb3t]

@Ecosystim @TheAmazingPapay Your gender is man. You are not oppressed for being a man. You are not being oppresed for your gender. You are oppressed for being trans. Youre oppressed for your gender not matching your agab. See the difference?

[Bet @simplyb3t]

It's just so gross to invoke Leslie Feinberg to defend trans men who would've attended michfest

[Bet @simplyb3t]

I'm angered by people invoking Leslie Feinberg when this discourse cycle started with a trans man fighting to enter a space that excluded trans women. Feinberg wouldn't enter until trans women were included.

[Bet @simplyb3t]

The book shows solidarity and community between all queer people. The bars Jesse goes to have gay men and transfems.
It ends with Jesse speaking at a rally, then speaking with a union leader. If the book has a point, it's that we need to get organized. We all in this together.

[Ponder Rambo ⚧️ @butchasagender]

@lumeternity @lesbian_yearner @soygemparty The point of the book is people who have medically and socially transitioned but found community from formerly identifying as lesbians deserve to be in those spaces too

[Bet @simplyb3t]

And iirc the butches who transition into trans men get dumped by their femme lesbian partners.

[Bet @simplyb3t]

The gay bars in sbb aren't even lesbian exclusive. There's gay men, there's straight people! They're gay bars in that its where people are allowed to be gay and not get kicked out.

[aaron 🇵🇸/ #ProtectTransKids @successfulemo]

@burnthelilacs i'm a queer person who loves women. the way i experience queerness and my love for women was cultivated through growing up as a butch lesbian and being in sapphic communities for most of my life. did i no longer belong in those communities once i started t? that's absurd

[Bet @simplyb3t]

Using SBB to prove trans men can be lesbians is wild bc Jesse doesn't call themselves a trans man or a lesbian. They live as a man for safety. They say the word lesbian it's too similar to "lesbo" - a slur used against them while getting hate crimed

[Bet @simplyb3t]

I'm no expert but arent there indigenous cultures that didn't have private property before being colonized, but they still had patriarchy. The women were treated better than European women, but still not treated as equals

[Saoirse 🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸 @MarxistHeathen]

there are 2 key historical ideas that radfems fail to understand which make them to think patriarchy developed b4 private property:

(1) you can’t have a notion of “women as property” w/o a notion of property
(2) these aren’t systems that develop all-at-once in a neat order

[Bet @simplyb3t]

@AdventurousAx You're saying the masters are only worth that much because she owns them? I don't think that's true. Why would it be?

[Bet @simplyb3t]

All billionaires have most of their wealth in assets, not in cash
She already did the labour to create the songs.
The masters can only bring in profit and increase in value by being distributed - by people streaming the songs, buying cds, etc. Distribution requires labour.

[OleanderIvy 🫶🏻 @AdventurousAx]

Taylor Swift is like Schrodinger's billionaire, the bulk of her worth is from her masters. She'll never willingly sell, they'll only increase in value while she owns & adds to them, & their worth is materially tied to her ownership & the fan support that brings.

[Bet @simplyb3t]

There are workers managing spotify servers, physically packing cds, etc. Without those workers exploitation, Taylor wouldn't be a billionaire.
I don't say this to hate on Taylor. I just want people to better understand how capitalism works.

[Bet @simplyb3t]

@PGC_the_demon @stefisgirlnow @wobbledawg If someone says "you were amab and can't talk on women's issues" and you respond "well I'm afab" then you are ceding that transfems don't experience women's issues, when they do. Transfems experience misogyny! They can even get endo, bc its caused by hormones!

[Bet @simplyb3t]

Only the young makes sense for him, but iftye? Every taylor song is somebody's favorite I guess

Straight men: women are SO HOT too bad they're so annoying and bitchy and you have to be nice to them
Lesbians: women are SO HOT wow I can't believe I said that, I'm no better than a man

[Bet @simplyb3t]

I kind of suck at active listening. It's one thing to know what to do, it's another thing to actually do it in the moment !

[Bet @simplyb3t]

Lotta people saying "I can't believe people don't know not to do this" without saying what you *are* supposed to do.
Beyond saying "sorry to hear that", I think you're supposed to do active listening. Repeating what the person said.

[No Nonsense Neurodivergent @NoNonsenseND]

So basically neurodivergent people have "immature empathy"? 🤔
