one thing i find strange about TERFism and trans-criticism is how much of it is just attractiveness politics. it seems to be the leading talking point. sure, make your points on sexual dimorphism or biological sex differences (which any normal trans woman is fully aware of already, mind you. the average transsexual is not claiming sheâs experiencing period cramps lol) but so much anti-trans discourse seems to just be âwell youâre ugly so youâre not a woman and i feel unsafe.â which seemsâŠ. so counter-productive to your movement. trans women, like any group of people, are nowhere near exempt from criticism, but what is the point of putting so much emphasis on such an empty and invalid viewpoint? so much of feminism seems to hark on how men only respect women they find attractive, yet the majority of your breath is spent on here pointing out physical characteristics that you seemingly think invalidate someoneâs identity. how does having broad shoulders, a wide jaw, and a five oâclock shadow somehow equate to being a predatory rapist? itâs a mindset iâve never understood. obviously itâs prevalent outside trans discourse, people just generally seem to equate ugliness with evilness, but you would think a group of individuals who posture themselves steeped and rooted in theory and academics wouldnât weaponize such a vapid and vague talking point. (not to say only terfs do it, your average Internet Man absolutely loves to dunk on the fuckability of any given trans woman at any given same, butâŠ.. fork found in kitchen.) idk, iâve just always found it odd. like iâm sorry but i just donât buy into the idea that youâre supposed to be reasonably terrified of someone in a public bathroom because you think theyâre ugly. i think you might just be an asshole.
