Welcome to the itsafetish circle! We document examples of fetishism (primarily autogynephilia) within the trans community and discuss implications from a feminist perspective! We typically use Blanchard's typology of transsexualism as our framework.

1. Be mindful of your words. Do not promote bigotry, encourage violence, or use dehumanizing language.
2. Keep posts on-topic and in spirit with the circle. Flair posts appropriately. Use archive links for social media posts.

I thought the first quote was in reference to Americans facing issues regarding immigration - you know, a real issue where people actually have to be concerned about leaving or re-entering the country. But, nope, it's a man in drag throwing out hyperbole because they don't get to invade women's spaces in some states and locales.
Ever notice how TIMs exhibit a total lack of empathy for others who are much more vulnerable to regressive policies? I've never seen a TIM acknowledge the simple fact that immigrants and black folks and women of childbearing age have it worse. They always, always have to climb over the bodies of actual marginalized people to stake their flag on the summit of Mt. Oppression Olympus.
Oh, absolutely. They rush to co-opt the real struggles and hard won victories of groups who have faced real struggles, going so far as to fabricate the absurd claims of leading the Stonewall rebellion. Comparing not being allowed to use the women's bathrooms or change their sex identifier on official documentation to the Holocaust (which is likely the only genocide that they're aware of) is absolutely reprehensible.
