What you did to Vialisa was really shitty. I'm a keen follower of yours but the way you put her on blast is really questionable as I don;'t see you do such a thing to other people in the same way. Your actions resulted in a woman being harassed. Not very feminist. Not very decent. Not very mature.

Here's what happened.  I responded to her public post once.  Someone else submitted a screen cap, and I understand that my web presence helped proliferate the responses to her transphobia.  But I did not ask or encourage anyone to attack her.  If you have been a keen follower, then you'd know that I have always been against online harassment and I have always called out people's oppressive/regressive attitudes.  Once it came to my attention that she was getting harassed nonstop, I deleted the screen cap someone else submitted to this blog and told her that I'm sorry it happened.  End of story.

I just wanted to let you know that you weren't wrong to call out vialisa's transphobia. She intentionally misgenders people and attacks trans individuals.

Eek... is this true?  It sounds terrible but I haven't seen that other than the person's refusal to include trans* people into the discussion.  So, I'll just thank you for the post and move on.  She's not the center of this blog.  And again as a reminder to my followers, it's fine to call out someone's oppressive and regressive attitudes but online abuse and harassment is not okay.

You don't need to delete anything, and I don't need anonymous people on the internet defending my political positions. If thinking that its stupid and unnecessary to to add "not *just* a women's issue" to important posts about reproductive rights makes me transphobic, then by all means, I am a transphobe.

I'm deleting it anyway because it's not right that people are attacking you.

Obviously I have problems with your last statements, because understanding that there are more than just women who suffer under the white, heterosexual cisgendered patriarchy isn't unnecessary or stupid.  But I digress.

Seriously, followers.  Leave this person alone.  I wasn't aware of the abuse and it makes me sick.

Why I don't follow or like stfuprolife.

After watching stfuprolife abuse its web presence to harass vialisa and paint radical feminists as these straw transphobic racists today, I really feel like it's time I share a personal horror story about their shittiness:

Once when I was an amateur feminist (budding liberal feminist), I made a really awkward, offhand, and ill-informed personal post about how I thought that women seeking abortions should be required to view an ultrasound since that seemed medically logical. It makes me cringe to think about. Of course I don't believe that anymore. I don't think I even really believed it then, since I was really just working through some thoughts about what my abortion was like for me. I didn't share in my post that it was really more of a reflection on my personal experience.

Well, stfuprolife picked it up and wrote a long and angry response, all of which was justified and correct. And stfuprolife followers sent me hoards, I mean fucking HOARDS of REALLY, REALLY aggressive messages about how awful I was to think something so fascist. Many of these messages were totally justified and right.

But the vast majority of the messages were things like, "You can't possibly understand the pain women feel when they're pregnant and don't want to be. Go fucking die."

One, I still remember word-for-word: "Have you ever had your birth control fail on you? Have you ever had a partner you couldn't trust? Have you ever been pregnant and feared for your future because of it? No. So shut the fuck up about abortion, you bitch."

Interesting fact: I did have birth control fail on me, I did have a partner I couldn't trust, and I did fear for my future because of my pregnancy. So I got an abortion. And when they showed me the ultrasound (which I chose to view), I suddenly had a really grounded feeling that everything was going to be okay, and that I really wasn't doing anything wrong. That's what I based my misguided post on.

I started to feel really fucking shitty about these awful people harassing me with these mean, mean, reallllly invasive message that dredged up really dark stuff for me. My abortion was not an easy decision for me, and I mostly felt forced into it by a very abusive boyfriend.

So I messaged stfuprolife to apologize and ask them to delete my post so that I wouldn't get any more messages, since I was really becoming depressed and frightened by them.

stfuprolife straight said no, laughed at me, and said I was getting what I deserved.

I literally got invasive, dark, fucked up messages harassing me about abortion for over two weeks, even after I turned off anon and made a post about how much the messages were hurting me. And stfuprolife didn't give a fuck.

That's not caring about women who get abortions at all.

So fuck them.
