Yaps of an Focused Freak

He/Him. Call me Bucky. Sideblog TERFs go eat glass, this is not a safe space for you. This is a sideblog specifically made for my thoughts on transandrophobia and misogyny and how modern feminism has lost the plot in terms of inclusivity and progress.

A list of things that do not make you an inherently good person

Being a woman

Being a feminist

Being a trans person

Being a trans ally

Partaking in kink

Being nice

Respecting people's pronouns

Hating men

Reading feminist theory

Being angry at men

Some of these actions are morally neutral but portrayed as Good, and some of these are morally wrong but are portrayed as Good

Your actions do not make you inherently good and immune to criticism. If you are genuinely trying to do good, you must be willing to accept criticism.

otherwise your "goodness" only goes skin-deep.

I disagree with this, kind of. I believe it is morally good to BE a trans ally and a feminist, not just claim but actively working towards and doing things that promote the underlying principles. The rest of it I agree with.

Is that man mansplaining

or are you misusing that phrase?

warning: i made this while annoyed and tired so feel free to correct it how you see fit

I have noticed a couple of people trying to use the word mansplaining to get trans men or trans masculine people to shut up about whatever topic it is they're discussing

and it made me realize that the word "mansplaining" has been bastardised into "a man that I dislike or disagree with talking about something"
