Well, yes, feminists have been warning you about that for ages.

[hotgirlruslana]

we literally told you

[moderata]

and you called us evil for pointing this out

[sowhatisheckinavailable-deactiv]

I want to elaborate more in case someone reading replied/reblogs was never told this. Feminists have been saying since the start of this transition boom that the reason companies were/are so supportive is because they see it as a profiting tool. They don't care about your mental health or what is best for you. They care that you are convinced you are the opposite sex and they care about you buying their products to make them money. Everyone (by that I mean corporations) only seem to be supporting this mass out cry for easier transitioning because it's easier profita for them.

A lot of lesbians and gay men have been telling you that this is eaxtly what happened to us as bring gay became more accepted mainstream. We yell about it every time pride month rolls around when companies start to push their "pro-gay" stances so we gobble it up and make them money.

This is even more serious. We arent and were never out to hurt people by pointing this out. We arent trying to male you feel alone or like no one supports you. We want you to be safe and understand that companies are going to try to take advantage of your mental state. Just because a snake is smiling and using language you are comfortable with does not make them less of a snake.

Men masturbate to shit that would be considered an actual fucking crime in literally any other context outside of porn and then act like that has no influence whatsoever on how they view and interact with women.
