It is endlessly frustrating how people will perpetuate transmisogyny and then straight up treat you like a hysterical bitch for recognizing that's whats happening. we are doing 19th century quackery type shit to girls in 2026 but since they are trans, people will be like "hmmm those girls ARE kinda hysterical....."

[barrelospiders]

Name one person who’s received a lobotomy over the ISFF discourse. Name one person who’s gotten a lobotomy because of the TME/TMA debate. Name one person who’s been lobotomised at any point due to their affiliation with the ISFF/Pocket Deer Belly/Plaidos/Taxxon -esque transradfem movement.

A few blogs have been deleted because they broke TOS, over having the stance that “maybe being a pedophile isn’t actually that bad and we should just accept it”. You aren’t getting lynched, and you aren’t getting the same treatment women in the 19th century got for female hysteria. Appropriating either term to discuss online discorse is honestly disgusting.

I’ll agree with you on it being something that applies more broadly to trans people as a whole, as in we experience a lot of medical misconduct and corrective rape (which I would still personally class as less severe than lobotomisation but I understand that at that point it’s more subjective) but given your wording and some of the blogs you repost, I’m assuming you’re referring to the bullshit that’s gone down on this platform recently. If I’m incorrect, and you’re referring to institutional stuff that actually matters (which I would hope given you’re a communist) ignore this message and have a nice day.

[anhedoniacity]

5 things that can coexist:

- society needs to treat people with paraphilias better and too many people have a kneejerk desire to do awful things to “punish” them even if they haven’t harmed anyone

- being PROUD of a paraphilia is a dangerous move potentially normalizing it to the eventual point of acting on it

- while acknowledging the way society treats paraphiliacs is wrong, in the culture we live in, comparing them to trans people just makes you effectively a right-wing psyop

- practically speaking it is frankly more of an issue for children to experience sexual abuse than it is for pedophiles to be isolated

- isff is a huge asshole for entirely unrelated reasons, and also (assuming she ISN’T a psyop) should have known that openly patting herself on the back for how open-minded she is would get substantial negative attention from the most reactive social media users on the planet

[thecomplainerrr]

1) glad we’re on the same page

2) why would being proud you manage your inappropriate desires without hurting people a bad thing? Why are other mental illnesses involving intrusive thoughts allowed pride but paraphilias are not?

3) a queer person drawing a comparison to their queer experience is not a psyop

4) two issues can be discussed at the same time even if one causes more harm than another

5) I haven’t invested enough in her personal life to comment beyond, she definitely should’ve expected backlash

[barrelospiders]

They answered 2 in the thing, normalisation to the point people feel comfortable acting on it. Pedo, zoo and necrophilia aren’t things that we as a society should be okaying, they’re behaviours we should actively try and prevent. Also, OP doesn’t think that ISFF is a psyop, her actions just pretty much perfectly mirror what a psyop would do, 4chan tried pulling the same thing with the MAP movement a few years ago and that actually was a psyop. As for four, not if the two issues are diametrically opposed. You can’t fight for pedophile acceptance without putting child safety at risk at the same time. From both a utilitarian, and deontological perspective (assuming aversion to harm is an axiom) the correct move is to prioritise the kids.

[biohorror-human]

I knew the situation was bad, but i didn't know it was "isuggestforcefem being chased off the website" bad. This place is going to be inhospitable for trans women very, very soon.

It's very sad, not just for trans women actively using this site, but for the ones who won't get to. I wouldn't have transitioned as quickly and knowledgeably as did if it wasn't for the community of transfeminists, like ISFF, showing me it was possible, and that there was a space out there that wouldn't find my existence repulsive. And now the people who made that community so safe are gone; and nobody else will get the experience I did.

ISFF was right about everything btw

[barrelospiders]

Everything? Even the shit about pedophiles being part of the LGBT community, and the most discriminated against minority? ISFF was chased away because she was a pedophile apologist, not because she was transfeminist. If you support her then you support her ideology, if you support her ideology you support pedophilia.

[isuggesttransfeminism]

So you know how we were all worried that ISFF was normalizing pedophilia to minors?

If anyone trying to defend her thinks what she said was harmless, this MINOR THINKING IT'S NORMAL TO HAVE PEDOPHILES FOR FRIENDS IS THE END RESULT OF HER RHETORIC!!!!

[doe-eyed-disaster]

if we're going to be accused of "dividing the community" for using transfemininist language, it seems important to clarify precisely which community is being divided. insisting that one must be part of a broader "trans community", even if one never chose to be part of it, even if one rejects it and refuses to stay silent in the name of keeping the peace, makes me wonder what kind of community is being offered. being threatened. whether it's with defending in the first place.

what I'm saying is that "the Queer Community is your Found Family (tm)" really sounds a lot like a workplace saying "we're like a family here". family is a power structure, one that must be analyzed, critiqued, and dissolved.

[pineapplecake555]

Does this mean you’ll finally leave women and gay people alone??

PLEASE take your ball and go elsewhere. The leech can’t threaten the host with abandonment.

[barrelospiders]

You say that like Marsha P.Johnson and Sylvia Rivers weren’t key figures in Stonewall, like we haven’t haven’t had your back since day one, like helping us with our oppression isn’t also helping you, given the second we’re out of the public eye you terfs are next on the chopping block. Solidarity is what creates mass movement, which is what creates the change that both of us benefit from. If anyone’s the leech here it’s separatist bastards like you and doe eyed disaster. The ironic thing is both of you will believe in the same fucking ideology once trans rights are secured, where both of you will enthusiastically put down whoever comes next in the hopes that siding with the far right will protect your own. It happened with the suffragettes who were opposed to black women getting votes, it happened with the lesbian separatists and the feminists who didn’t support gay rights, and now it’s happening all over again. You’re scum, you’re rot, you’re a malignant tumour in progressivism that’s gonna kill all of us and then yourself.

[pineapplecake555]

- Marsha P Johnson showed up to Stonewall late after the riot had already begun and Sylvia Rivera wasn’t there at all. And even if they had been instrumental in the Stonewall, that was a single protest. It would take 50 years of tireless political campaigning and grassroots activism and it is BEYOND offensive that gay and lesbian activists that are mostly still alive are being written out of their own activism so spicy straights can claim a narrative that gay and bi people sat around waiting for our rights to be handed to us.

- women and lesbians aren’t “next”. We were fucking first, you crybabies. Do you think roe vs wade didn’t count because trans women weren’t affected? You think the conservatives have been helping women? Have been supporting lesbians?

- the suffragettes were not against black women voting and you claiming that is ironically erasing many black suffragettes. The reason you think this is dishonest people use a quote from one suffragette that she won’t support black men voting. They always leave off that the quote continues “without including women in the amendment”

- no prominent lesbian organization or (major) speaker/writer ever campaigned for lesbian only civil rights. Did you pull that straight from your ass?

No one is coming to kill you for being trans just like no one is coming to kill me for being bi. Fucking get over yourself. Non white people are being put into fucking gulags in the USA and ICE is shooting even the white people that try and stand up for their neighbors. That’s what oppression looks like. It’s not grown men dressed like a six year old girl or a stripper being told he needs to use the men’s bathroom.

You spoiled brats aren’t in danger. You are not the target.

[barrelospiders]

- I was giving an example, dumbass, I don’t think stonewalls the be all end all. I was just pointing out that we were involved then, we were involved during the 50 years of grassroots activism you mentioned, and we’re here now. I’m not fucking “writing out” gay and lesbian activists by pointing out that the trans community has been involved with LGBT activism, I don’t deny that they almost definitely played the biggest part, but I would be writing out activists if I pretended that they made up literally 100% of activists when making a point about the fact that we’ve always been involved with this shit. Fuck, were you born this dense or did you have to work towards it?

-Yeah, you were first, I’m saying that you’re siding with social conservatism, and the whole fucking basis of that ideology is regression. We get sold down the river, they aren’t just gonna stop, not while they have wind in their sails, they’re gonna go for women and homosexuality in a far more targeted form afterwards. Yes there’s Roe v Wade being overturned which is horrific but besides abortion you aren’t considered as hot of an issue by the right currently. Right now we’re a buffer, the right’s primarily concerned with immigration and trans people right now, and once they win, assuming they win given how much political power they have at the moment, they’re coming for you guys next, so stop expediting the process and fight with us.

-I’m not saying the movement as a whole, I’m saying there was a branch who held that view.

-Lesbian separatism was, and occasionally still is a genuine viewpoint held by people. I can’t remember where it originated and I can’t be assed to research it rn but I know it’s definitely a standpoint that exists.

No one’s coming to kill me for being trans? I’m four times more likely than you to get assaulted raped or murdered dumbass, and that number doubled over the last four years, and Starmer, and Farage, and Trump, and Vance, and every other fucking politician is stoking that flame as much as possible. Not to mention the 40% suicide rate, and how it takes 8 years for the NHS to provide the treatment that actually tangibly reduces it. How about how Rishi Sunak banned schools from discussing “gender ideology”, or the Cass Review, or the Supreme Court Ruling and the EHRC guidance that followed? How about how going to prison means almost guaranteed rape, along with forced detransition that most of us would rather kill ourselves than do? How about Donald Trump ceasing recognition of trans people, and the making of our passports and driving licenses invalid so we can’t leave? How about gay panic defence still being legal in various places such as Australia, the majority of America and The Philippines, and how non disclosure of being trans constitutes sexual assault in spite of the fact that telling em means they can legally kill us? These are off the top of my head, if I took a minute to look for more I’d almost definitely find some. Immigrants have it worse, we have it bad tho.

Anyway, fuck you

[ziijsh1]

what a lot of you don't understand about the patriarchy is that it's fundamentally different from other hierarchies of oppression. Almost nobody out there is like "we should kill all women." The people that do think that are a very, VERY small minority. The whole idea of patriarchy is that in order to have power, or feel better about yourself, you have to pick a group to have power over. The root of the issue is not "men are superior and everyone should be men," it's "I'm going to pick this arbitrary trait to lord over other people and convince people with that same trait to do the same." If there aren't any women, patriarchy fails, and they have to pick something else.

THAT is why transmasculinity is so revolutionary. You are actively breaking that border by crossing it. You are standing up to the most fundamental part of the patriarchy - the difference between men and women. You are saying that no, I can be whoever the fuck I want. I can be a man, and so can anyone else. You are scaring the upholders of patriarchy because if we don't have women- we don't have power over a group anymore. Why do you think transmasculinity is so heavily tied to feminist and lesbian movements?

[snazzy-hats-and-adhd]

The threat posed to patriarchy by transmasculinity is the declaration that the characteristic of power (masculinity) is not immutable, that it is a thing that can be acquired (and rejected, in the case of transfemininity). The declaration that the entire system is built on a malleable quality means that the entire structure of power is unsound, and that the only thing holding it up is the continued belief of the participants.

Transmasculinity is a threat to patriarchy because it directly undermines the validity of the entire thing. If the only thing separating a man from a woman is enough money (ie: surgery, hormones, pants, etc) to change how that person is perceived, then that really calls into question the foundation that the whole skyscraper is built on.

[aces-and-angels]

caption by @/ashleytheebarroness on tiktok: People reach for the Gestapo comparison because it sounds extreme and foreign. It lets white Americans pretend this kind of policing came from somewhere else. But ICE looks closer to slave patrols because that's our history. Local enforcement. Racialized suspicion. Vague authority. Taking people first, justifying it later. Gestapo is a warning. Slave patrols are a mirror.

[daughter-of-sapph0]

my heart genuinely breaks when i see trans women promote "transandrophobia" bullshit.

like girl get out of there! they hate you!

you're just one upset birthdayboy away from them going full "lets kill all tras, oops i mean tmas", and you're they're closest fucking target

[barrelospiders]

I’m transfem and I’m yet to have a single experience with a trans guy that’s gone even remotely like that. So long as you’re willing to accept that trans*phobia* affects both parties in different ways then they’re completely chill. On the other hand, you separatists are significantly more aggressive the second the guys even get brought up, to the point that several of my irl friends have ended up feeling actively unsafe discussing stuff like struggling to access T. If you’re gonna prime us for divide and conquer, I’d rather be on the side away from you lot.

[pocket-deer-belly]

i think if any part of your ideology contains "we can and should kill all the bad people and we can easily know what people are ontologically evil" then you're not just a reactionary but a danger to marginalized people. Your "kill every pedo" stance is very easily manipulated into wanting trans women to die. It's fundamentally no different from like, supporting the death penalty and wanting every criminal ever to suffer, wishing death upon drug addicts. it's basic fucking reactionary dogshit. It not only misunderstands why harm happens but actively gives you a pass on enacting infinite torture to a group against which you've decided no harm inflicted is too great. We just need to kill all the bad people. and when we've done that, we'll finally have gotten rid of all the bad people.

[technologyra]

It's a magic word spell designed to completely shut down your brain and try to kill people. No kids were saved in this continued attempt on Patricia Taxxon's or ISuggestForceFem's life. I say continued attempt because the abuse never stops from these people. They will turn into blood hungry revenants and hunt you to the ends of the earth over lies because society trained them to do this and they feel SOOOO good hurting people. They reinforce the shield created to protect the actual abuse of children and they are too willingly ignorant to see it. It's Vengeance Culture at its zenith. Anyone in the In-group with a big enough bone to pick can attempt to get any outsider they want killed and be lauded as a hero for it. even if they are proven wrong over and over again.

[barrelospiders]

The fuck do you mean attempts on her life? Two blogs got shut down because she said she supported pedophilia as a marginalised sexual preference, which is rightfully against TOS. Who the hell tried to kill her?

[kitty-exclamation-point]

And this is what I mean. Oh-so-conveniently scream that "LOOK THE TRAKNEEZ SUPPORT PREDATORS SHUT UP I SAID THEY DO SO THEY DO KILL ALL OF THEM NOW" before jerking off to their own reflection. We know who you are. We know what you're trying to do.

[barrelospiders]

Are you stupid? I was complaining about Patricia Taxxon, not trans people as a whole; in general I think the majority of us transfems would actively condemn her rhetoric about pedophilia. Don’t tie the trans community as a whole to like, one scumbag, it makes the rest of us look bad. Also, don’t create massive exaggerated versions of stuff I said, it just makes your argument look weak because you basically just made up a position that I don’t actually hold.

what is happening to sadie liath is a cut and dry result of people reshaping their feminism to coddle trans men btw

[miss-wizard]

do you people have no shame

[folly-of-alexandria]

What people are willfully ignoring is that this was a woman of the same axis of oppression complaining about men in her same group, not her punching down.

I as a black woman have experienced horribly misogynistic treatment from black men. And have uttered the words "Black Men ain't shit" and other black women know that it's it's statement that means "It doesn't matter if they're oppressed too, men are still men."

[barrelospiders]

Oh, so now y’all can admit it’s the same axis of oppression? When it’s convenient, immediately after spending shittons of time and energy trying to make being a transfem distinct from just straight up being trans, you decide to show solidarity with the AFABs you tried to oust?

People were upset with her saying she hates trans men because it came off the heels of a string of attacks against the guys in the trans community done by blogs like Plaidos and Pocket Deer Belly. The implication wasn’t “it doesn’t matter if they’re oppressed too”, the implication was “I agree with the transandrophobic shit happening online”.

Americans are fucking crazy for thinking I will excuse their child murderers cuz they're poor

[gettinggangstalkedfor3years-dea]

fuck the marines 😁

[gettinggangstalkedfor3years-dea]

murder 4 pay is not excusable, just cuz you're broke it doesn't mean you should just be able to kill people to get out of debt. Are iraqi lives so fucking worthless to you that someone's poverty escape is more important than the working class of the global south? You should be ashamed of yourselves. American lives are equal to the rest of the world, and that means no excuses for joining the american military. There is no excuse to joining the terrorist forces that kill middle eastern people, there is no excuse for anything. The people in the rest of the world are poor, we don't fly out thousands of kilometers to loot regular people's homes and country who didnt do anything wrong, we do not sign up for voluntary mass murder institution, and if we did americans would never shut the fuck up about it.

[barrelospiders]

Desperate people will do desperate things, I don’t blame anyone for prioritising their life over that of someone else. I do, however, blame the system that drives people to that state in the first place; as well as the government for the atrocities that get committed. Don’t hate the players, hate the game

[kawaiimunism]

The "poverty draft" is largely a myth: the median parental income of U.S. soldiers is slightly higher than that of the general population.

To the extent that the "poverty draft" is a thing: Is there any other scenario where you'd apply this logic? If someone becomes a mob hitman out of desperation, are they also above blame?

[barrelospiders]

Yup. Doesn’t make what gets done on the job right, but prioritising yourself in a situation where you’re desperate is understandable. Same goes for like, drug dealers and shit. If it’s coming from a place of “I do this or I die” then you can’t really expect people to act like utilitarian saints, self preservation is one hell of an external pressure when it comes to that. Doesn’t make the stuff that happens as a result morally good, or something that we should be celebrating, but it does mean it’s understandable why people do it in the first place.

would you be cool with me slaughtering your entire family and everyone you know? im poor

[barrelospiders]

If the government hired you to assassinate my family in order to escape poverty I’d probably blame both of you, but that’s because I’m an extremely biased party and thus (understandably) wouldn’t be acting rationally; and even then, I think it would still primarily be the government I’d be upset at. Expecting you to stay in bad living conditions in the name of strangers you’ve never heard of, or met before would be an unfair ask.

[silbervvind]

How would you feel if said assassin went on to murder another family the next day, knowing that you could have maybe called the police on them, or talked them out of it, or killed them yourself, but you didn't, and because of your inaction another family died?

[barrelospiders]

Now we’re in the realm of fantasy, because I don’t have a problem with people resisting militaristic oppression either. It’s a fucked situation, and I hate that governments push people into it.

🖕

[manu-script]

In the same paragraph you say you "don't blame anyone for prioritizing their life over that of someone else" AND say people shouldn't blame "desperate people for doing desperate things". So your logic is you can't blame someone for killing and raping entire families for a paycheck but you can absolutely blame someone for criticizing those people. Fucking yank logic I swear to god

Also let's be honest, you aren't saying you don't blame anyone for prioritizing their life over someone else's. You're saying it doesn't bother you when white people prioritize their own comfort over the lives and homes of brown people. I'd like to see you have that same attitude if it was someone from another country killing your family and bombing your home

[barrelospiders]

I don’t blame em for being upset at the military either, I just disagree with their take lol. I’m pro freedom of speech, there’s nothing wrong with them criticising an institution and especially not a government one.

As for saying me having empathy for soldiers is racially motivated, I’d feel the same way if they were going at primarily European nations. It’s a fault of government, not the individual. Rape is an exception though, that’s disgusting people being opportunistic.
