if a trans woman's rapist makes the easy and common move of trying to isolate her from her support network by accusing her of being the one who raped them, you have to not be a useful idiot for her abuser to use as a tool

you can't always rely on "believe survivors" as a buzzphrase, because it's an extremely common abuse tactic to try to obscure the truth of who is actually the survivor and who is the perpetrator. this is especially easy to do against marginalized groups that people are already primed to imagine as violent. you have to first collect enough information to know who is actually the survivor in order to actually believe the survivor and not their abuser

Also! Many TMAs internalize the rhetoric used against us.

So, when a transfem is the victim of an assault where the rhetoric gets weaponized like this?

There's a chance she'll believe it and punish herself for it. You have to know the signs of sexual trauma and, if an accused transfem is showing them, comfort her and reassure her victimhood - she may not believe she can be a victim, especially not in this way.

It’s a shame Toby Fox has so many well written female characters because he’s stuck with a fandom that hasn’t evolved past 1920’s misogyny.

So I hear the elemental quartet have a bounty on their heads.

The opportunity to draw bounty wanted posters presented itself too easily, the second I heard that they had a price on their heads I got straight to drawing posters :]
