tumblr won't let me reblog this, but this is regarding this post by @pinkradfem
It takes less than a minute to see that this isn't just a few bad actors. These are hundreds of people, some of whom act on these threats.
We know your entire community isn't like this. But a significant, loud portion of you are.
Unlike tras who generalize radfems as misogynistic tradwife conservative terfs (oxymoron, by the way), we actually understand that some trans people want to live their lives undetected. Gender dysphoria is a serious mental illness that shouldn't be treated flippantly.
We are also painfully aware of multiple bad actors (Eli Erlick comes to mind instantly, but numerous other cases are significant and don't get much media coverage) that put a very bad taste in our mouths with regards to trans people.
Someone who says they're a terf misgenders you once, and you generalize terfs/radfems as being transphobic bigots who intentionally misgender trans people.
It's hard to sympathize with a group who won't even attempt to understand who we are and what we're contesting. Implying that we're taking jokes too seriously (read: hysterical) and then playing the sympathy card isn't something that'll get any legitimate response.
