Amnesty International Australia urges the Queensland government to abandon the second tranche of “Adult Crime, Adult Time” legislation that
“But terves totally go after us both equally”, we keep hearing, while some people post this stuff
The last few months I've blocked a number of tme moots because they've fallen down the terf rabbit hole, usually with the starting point of male socialisation and it's just been depressing to see.
the weaponization and warping of the concept of gendered socialization may be the strongest tool in the terf toolkit right now because it bypasses the bioessentialism many people have learned to smell, but it takes all those same beliefs about "males" and "females" that are typically rooted in bioessentialism and plugs them superficially into a social framework instead
there's an observable grain of truth that helps it pass a sniff test for the untrained, because gendered socialization is a real phenomenon with a lot of history in feminist theory, so you can look progressive even while pushing a simplified and exaggerated version of the theory that papers over other areas of feminist theory, even to the extent that it makes feminism as a whole seem hopeless
what we need to do, imo, is:
- educate on other areas of feminist theory to show the actual sources of male privilege under patriarchy, and why it is not granted to trans women
- expand people's understandings of how socialization works so they can understand both its complexities as they impact the lives of trans people, racialized people, and people outside the west, as well as the limitations of the forces of socialization. we are not eternally stuck in the traits patriarchy attempts to force us into, that's half the point of feminism in the first place! not to mention, gendered socialization, like all other forms of socialization, does not end at some point in your life. transition causes people to react to you differently, and this in turn will inform how you navigate the world
- try to instill some actual principles in people, such as "hey maybe we should judge people based on their actual actions rather than what we assume their actions will be based on what we assume their upbringing was like"
Honestly, the thing that sent me over the edge and made me into the full-blown ""man-hating"" angry transfeminist that you see today, was seeing hundreds and hundreds of transmascs get mad and call it "transandrophobia" because Epstien targeted trans girls for sex trafficking and not any trans boys.
Like, I've been a transfeminist for most of my adult life, long before I even transitioned. But seeing that fucking broke me and put me into a permenant state of rage.
It's interesting that talking about how transmascs are incentivized to participate in misogyny is "dividing the community" and a "CIA psyop", but them actually participating in that misogyny isn't.
Don't ask anyone who thinks transfeminism is a psyop what they think about the crypto terfs propping up transandrophobia, they don't like it very much
No no no you don't understand, you see talking about oppression is actually just reproducing oppression, so you women should just learn your place and shut up, ok? Talking about oppression is #transandrophobia!
#transmisandry #misandry #transphobia #why do transfems always center themselves #it must be their male brain
This is like half of the posts on this website which talk about transfeminism btw. Probably more but I have a blocklist the length of a cargo train.

and they’re both racist
and they're both racist
sorry I know I’m being annoying but also the idea that transgender as a category is a purely modern western invention, or that “trans woman” is a white queer category, is a very common transphobic talking point
it is impossible to watch a movie. every night i think i want to watch a movie. no movie gets watched. because it's not possible
and yet they keep making movies with the hopes that one day humanity will discover a way to watch them. it's so inspiring

I agree with you on most things. But I still don't understand how "kill all white people", "kill all yanks", "kill all transmisogynists" or "kill all men" are all understood as an expression of frustration by victimized groups, but suddenly "kill all rapists" or "kill all pedophiles" when expressed by a victim of sexual abuse is bad? "Kill all racists" doesn't mean "have the state murder everyone ever accused of racism" but it does when it's for rape?
Ok, I'm gonna try to make this very clear and simple.
TL;DR version being "if you say 'kill all rapists' you would've cheered the murder of Emmett Till and many others, much like other whites at the time and now did."
Marginalized groups, particularly Black and Transfeminine people, are often falsely accused of being specifically rapists and pedophiles particularly by groups that hold systematic power over them as a basic tool of white supremacy. They do this specifically as justification to kill these marginalized groups, as society often sees marginalized people accused of those things as de facto guilty, compared to for example white men who are often assumed innocent.
Comparatively, marginalized groups are very rarely falsely accused of being yankees, crackers, etc. specifically as justification for a call to murder/lynching/etc. of specific individuals.
The difference is that the material conditions and interactions with white supremacy surrounding these groups you've provided examples of are wildly different. If you are branded a pedophile as a trans women (such as the current US administration has been repeatedly trying to do to all of us lmfao) you will be automatically seen as guilty by many around you and lose a lot of your support network outside of other trans women who have seen the same thing happen.
Meanwhile, if you get accused of being white its just kinda. lol. Its something often easily falsifiable with a picture and a timestamp paper, whereas accusations of being a rapist or pedophile are often non-falsifiable.
So when you say some shit like "kill all pedophiles", a lot of trans women will end up hearing you say that and going "oh you'd want me dead even if I was innocent" because it is often going to be an incitement to mob/vigilante justice, such as "set your local abuser on fire". There's rarely any talk of actual justice, ensuring there's anything beyond the exile and/or death of the target, etc.
Seeking actual justice for everyone involved, especially if the system failed the victim, should still not result in the evaporation of basic human rights for the targeted party, guilty or not.
ive said this before but it was on my old blog so I'm saying it again
dehumanizing abusers is not effective at doing anything other than make people think they're ontologically incapable of violence
it's also creating a class of people who you can abuse while telling yourself that you're Good and Moral and Not an Abuser.
if you dehumanize the caught abusers then the uncaught abusers will use their humanity as proof of innocence
if you dehumanize the hypothetical abusers you create incentives for false accusations as a means of dehumanization whenever dehumanization is desired for other reasons
transmisogynoir is DEEPLY engrained in the trans community. stop pretending otherwise. holy fuck
you have to be careful reading too many things that are good/smart/well-written bc then you encounter something that isnt and you get confused like ? why didnt they just make this good ? were they stupid
