Oh youre "nonbinary"? Can i put you in a box please. Can i pleaseeeee put you in a box. We have two boxes and i really wanna put you in one. But dont worry. My boxes are very Woke and Nuanced. So its fine to put you in one. Pleaseeeee. Wow... youre such a bitch... not letting me put into one of two nuanced and essential necessary boxes... you obviously go into the box all those evil bitches end up in
This event is open to all women and non-binary people. No, not you - you're a non-binary man. We meant it's open to all women, including non-binary ones. Huh? What do you mean that's not what it means? Such a whiner, get out of here
Not touching the idea of "detrans terf psyops" with anything other than an orbital strike but like. Is nobody else suspicious of the framing of "male privilege" as "being male is a privilege"? Does that not fucking stink?
Hi sex witch, ik you don't do romantic advice but this is family stuff. I'm 16 and we have an exchange student from Australia living with us for the year. Yesterday my parents and I were out all day helping my auntie move, and my little brother stayed home, Today I accidentally walked in on my brother changing and saw a bunch of hickies so I started asking what happened, my parents started to do too, and he looked really distressed when he had to explain.
The exchange student admitted they slept together while we were gone and said it was because he’s been homesick. Everyone in my house is acting like it’s just a regular hookup that just got a little awkward but I cannot make my brain accept that.
The exchange student has native heritage and my brother and I are white, and I cannot stop thinking about colonization and power dynamics and whether this is actually some kind of exploitation even if no one else in my relatively liberal household seems to think so. The fact he said he was homesick makes it worse to me, not better because that sounds like he was vulnerable to my brother.
My brother told me to drop it, but he seemed really off at first and I like to consider myself a leftist so recognizing stuff like this is really important.
Also my brother is trans and now I can’t stop thinking about pregnancy risk on top of everything else, which is making me more stressed. I feel like if I don’t do something I’m complicit in something harmful but if I push it I might be making a situation worse for no reason. I keep going back and forth and I haven't found an answer yet.
How do I tell if this is actually something I need to act on or if I’m overthinking it, and what am I supposed to do without making things worse? I also don't think my brother is a bad person but he's a little younger then us I don't think that he's realized that there's certain relationships we can't have due to the current and past poli climate yet.
shit dude I gotta hand it to you, I'm pretty hard to surprise but you did get me. it's been a while since I've had someone in the inbox trying to come up with a new justification for why people of different races sleeping together is yucky, I sincerely wasn't expecting anti-miscegenation on this fine day
the supposed anti-racism leaving white people’s bodies the moment they see a mixed race relationship:
really not that shocking: that white theyfab with a "🚫 TERFs <3" pin will be the terfiest, most transmedicalist and most transmisogynistic person you've met
The absurd irony of calling someone a theyfab and calling someone a terf and a transmed in the same sentence
cia agent voice: “trans women have nothing in common with the rest of the queer community. in fact we shouldn’t even be part of that community. we should all be separate and spend all our time fighting each other over petty bullshit. this is what intersectionality means”
This reads as a bad faith interpretation of a badly communicated post made in frustration or anger.
I sincerely wonder what a good-faith interpretation of "trans women and transmen share no community" would be, especially considering the intentional use of a terf dogwhistle
Who the fuck are you?? 😭😭😭

I can see you. Leave
A frustrating and common response to the half joke half serious sentiment of "we should all just stop fighting and make out" (and variations of it) when discussing the validity of transandrophobia is "this is lesbophobic and transmisogynist as it's expecting transbian women to cater to [trans]men" which is such a fucking wild ass interpretation of that sentence that I've never been truly able to word my shock whenever I hear it being said. Is it a little frustrating when people say "ah let's stop having this Very Important Discussion to have trans sex"? A little, yeah, it's conflict avoidant and at times tonally deaf. However, in no stretch of the imagination is the intent behind it to belittle transbian women and make them cater to [trans]men? If you are a lesbian and someone is talking about making out with [trans]men then potentially, just maybe, they're not talking about you? If it looks like I'm making the wrong coffee, it's not your fucking order?
I love (sarcasm) how people just decided that engaging with Israeli politicians and civilians with the goal of influencing them to make choices that benefit Palestinians, is wrong and evil and the actually morally good thing is protesting outside of synagogues and jewish schools, vandalizing holocaust memorials, using neo nazi dogwhistles, assaulting random jews in the street, etc etc etc
you know who has the greatest ability to give direct aid to Palestinians and to oppose Likud? weirdly enough... ISRAELIS.
10,000 foreigners signing a petition <<<< 10 Israelis protesting outside knesset
I was a one in 10 once. They let me hold the megaphone
ik plenty of people that protest the current government and for very good reasons, but we don't feel safe around lefty goyim FOR OBVIOUS FUCKING REASONS
If a trans woman tells you she’s straight and your response is to say “I’m sorry”, I want you to know that you’re gross. You’re putting down the sexualities of queer people when we tell you who we are.
If your response to a trans woman saying she’s straight is to make a joke about spaghetti or to ask if she’s sure, I want you to know that you’re gross. You aren’t helping, you’re telling us that our sexualities are not serious to you.
If your response to a trans woman saying she’s straight is to tell her she isn’t queer or that trans spaces aren’t for her, I want you to know that I despise you. You’re not just gross, you're an exclusionary piece of shit. You aren’t a feminist either, don’t pretend to be otherwise. Grow up or shut up.

Saw a transfeminism post that started all good but then went into "men can't be lesbians" like WOAH WOAH WOAH slow down that is not true. You pick how you label yourself and if you feel like a lesbian then go for it.
Idk I always felt like those words about me being aggressive, people going over my head to talk to my friends about me being 'wild' and 'uncontrollable', and evil and a harrasser and whatever with not a shred of evidence of me doing something along those lines.
I felt like it was rooted in something.
I think this really drove it home for me:
A
'Savage.'
Well, yeah, you're brown Azriel. (Sorry, not brown, the proper term these days according to trans radfems is "the non-default color") Of course they're going to call you a pejorative that means primitive and uncivilized.
Scratch a transandrophobe, and a racist bleeds.
for all it seems like they enjoy talking about how they're pushing forwards theory and advancing the understanding of transphobia etc by... let's see... claiming that trans women are the most oppressed and should always get priority, that trans mascs are bad and untrustworthy because men bad, and that any trans women who disagree with them must not actually be trans women... hm.
...despite those, uh, self-evidently "effective" methods of advancing understanding of trans issues, i find myself wondering.
do trfs understand ideas as basic as "misgendering trans people is bad"? like. they clearly understand "misgendering trans women is bad", but do they understand that it's because it's a specific example of "denial of the agency and identity of trans people as a whole", rather than because "men bad yuck gross"?
they seem to be aware for the most part that trans women are often treated as whatever gender is convenient for bigots and bigoted systems to harm them, but do they understand that that happens to trans people as a whole? that when, say, trans men are framed as "women" by society, it's usually not to their benefit? that erasure is, in fact, a thing that happens to trans people?
if the conclusions they're led to by their theory leave me wondering if they're aware of some of the most obvious, simple, and basic elements of, you know, transphobia... maybe that theory isn't very good.

Let's ask!
@fleshengine Was thicced-witch wrong to do this, or do you still trust she had a good reason?
For optional bonus points, you may elect to give your opinion on this:
men are so whiny and sensitive about this oh my god. do you not hear how misogynistic entitled and lesbophobic this is and also just what a huge loser you sound like. "lesbians hate us because we're MEN and not sexy butch lesbians" Well yeah.. obviously.. even cis men can usually put it together that lesbians probably love lesbians more than men, so why are you so confused? you expecting some sort of special pussy treatment? No one wishes you would become a butch lesbian, you are thinking quite highly of yourself though aren't you
the way you wrote this is pretty fucking vile tbh, you could critique trans men without accusing them of wanting "special pussy treatment"
also theres a difference between "i dont want to date trans men" and "trans men are doing a version of masculinity thats stupid and cringe or downright harmful"
