Under appreciated bit in the new Defunctland I think

Hot take for this site I know, but replacing "having a penis makes you evil and a ticking time bomb of a rapist/abuser" with "having he/him pronouns makes you evil and a ticking time bomb of a rapist/abuser" is not progressive at all, actually!

When a cis man gets offended and says, "Not all men," it is generally in the context that he feels he is personally being attacked as an individual, and said to try and halt a conversation on sociopolitical issues that he is not generally a victim of (benefits from, even).

When transmascs get offended and say, "Not all men," it is generally in the context of them feeling erased from a sociopolitical perspective on the basis of their nuanced identity (not a cis man but not a woman-- or, in the case of some genderfluid / multigender individuals, not just a woman), and said to try and broaden a conversation on sociopolitical issues (because they are far deeper than just, "masculinity as a whole is evil, and men are trash") that they are being othered from, despite facing said sociopolitical issues as a victim of them.

Whether you acknowledge this or not, having the same exact negative reaction to both instances is a reflection of a cisgender-centric worldview.

Found this in the comment section of @strange-aeons's video about queer symbols:

via YouTube

The non-binary lesbian in question is Sam Hultin and the project is known as the Eva-Lisa's Monument. Eva-Lisa's works and life stories are archived at the Queerrörelsens arkiv och bibliotek in Gothenburg, Sweden.

You should take the time to take a read the wiki because it's wild where the transphobia she faced came from:

Eva-Lisa Bengtson – Wikipedia

Here is one of the photos the commentator from the screenshots is referencing:

via Wikimedia Commons, taken by Sam Hultin in 2017. There is a 35-minutes documentary "Dear Eva-Lisa" commissioned by Mint in 2020, and English subtitles are available. The video is unlisted, so you will not be able to find it in search.

If you want a copy of Eva-Lisa's biography, "Eva-Lisas monument" (2025) is available from the Swedish publisher Brombergs.

no no it’s completely fine that you’d rather waste money on some shity book series written by a woman who wants me dead it’s completely fine that my and many others life and well-being is less valuable to you than a poorly written book series I’m not mad at all

Black TERF anger is so misdirected, because instead of realizing their white "cisters" are the ones perpetuating a very narrow idea of femininity, they blame Black transfemmes and transmascs simply for existing. It's not their fault that a history of white supremacy constantly masculinizes Black women no matter how "well" they perform femininity. But it's crazy you all think you're getting power by cuddling up to people who hate all of us.

If you genuinely don't think TERFs go out of their way to specifically target trans men and transmascs at ALL it probably is because you're a fucking idiot who never, NOT ONCE IN YOUR FUCKING LIFE, have sat down with a trans man and actually sincerely had a conversation with him about his lived experience and how he interacts with feminist movements. I have never in my life met another trans guy who hasn't faced massive pushback, harassment, and demonization, from feminist people around him the moment he started identifying masculinely. There is also an extremely shocking, overwhelming amount of feminists, both cis and trans, who are happy to include trans women, but will violently aggressively react if we, as trans guys, ask to be included in their activism because the issues they speak on include us too. There is an entire MOVEMENT of feminists who specifically target trans men because they think we "deserve it"

So if I see you saying some shit like: "I don't think we should care about trans guys when talking about TERFs cause I just don't see trans guys get targeted by them!" I am going to assume you, yourself, ARE one of those trans exclusionary feminists who simply feels fine excluding marginalized people you don't personally relate to. If you STILL fucking think you "don't see trans guys get targeted" DO NOT MAKE ME TAP THE FUCKING SIGN VVVVVVVVVV
