I'm unsure what to tell you given that: 1. I am not white, nor from the United States, much less its Southwest 2. I am a gender non-conforming, opposite sex attracted (bisexual) woman and 3. I did not personally grow up in a fundamentalist household. I'll do my best, though:
I never denied the existence of, duh, intersectionality (gnc gay male vs gender conforming het woman); rather, I talked about the very basis, sex. Had I specified "heterosexual gender conforming" woman, your point would stand, but I didn't, I merely talked about one aspect, again, sex. It is the same as saying "A black person is more oppressed than a white person"; in that case, I would only be talking about one aspect, race. Whether or not misogyny is the worst of all oppressions is a senseless debate (personally, I'd say it is, given the sheer amount of people affected by it, both historically and nowadays, and how it is in the very roots of society and the state, and also, how it leads to other forms of oppression such as homophobia). Anyways, never in my reblog did I say oppression on the basis of sex is the worst of all, I merely said that the lives of people DIFFER depending on their sex.
Like I said in my original reblog, I personally don't give that much of a fuck about this whole Preacher's Daughter persona. What you say though, about sexual abuse, is true, which is why I never pretended Ethel is this trauma-free, totally sane and healthy, person. The problem is, that, as I also already said, his experience, no matter what it is like, differs from that of a female kid. Ethel, as a male, cannot know what it's like to menstruate in a conservative household, to be blamed for all sins of the world, etc. It would be delusional to equate that with homophobia etc (because they are different, not because the former is "worse"!). All I know about Ethel's upbringing is that daddy and mommy are loaded, but, if it was indeed a conservative and fundamentalist one, I do not deny for one second that it was traumatizing as fuck too, given the homosexuality and gender dysphoria/non-conformity. Still, it differs from that of female kids (who too can be, you know, gender non-conforming neurodivergent homosexuals).
And the pedo accusations (which I haven't done, I merely said the response was creepy and, at worst, pedophilic, which is different from BEING a pedophile) are not because of Ethel being into dick, cock, and balls. These accusations - again, I have barely seen one or two - are only because of the "breedable 12-year-olds" blah blah meltdown. I don't care what's the excuse, it is creepy as fuck.
The reason why radfems are "making this debate about sex" is because it started with Ethel getting mad at a radfem calling them a male. Of course it will be simplified to sex rather than "homosexual medically transsexual", the whole scandal came to be because of criticism of Ethel singing about experiences that do not line up with their sex! When it comes to sex, Ethel is the privileged one.
Finally, I don't believe males can never be victims, you are just stuffing words into my mouth now. I am bisexual, gender non-conforming, and a woman of color, not stupid.
