Noticing that the stuff trans women were saying was indistinguishable from the things mras were saying was what started my peaking. It all came from “listening to transwomen” though.
I am not a terf in any way
Oh yeah you are. Time for you to start wearing it as a badge of honour for being able call their shit for shit.
I'll start off by saying I'm NOT a bad person! I'm not! B-but...
my god. sigh.
Haha I’m so glad that stage of constantly apologising and giving disclaimers before saying anything is behind me!
I am sure her carefully worded and performed post where she kinda sorta tried to stand up for herself and other women being deleted?
Pushed her right over the edge.
This reminds me a lot of the essay I wrote right before peaking. I hope she makes it!
If I could say one thing to her it would be ''Get off your knees, stand up and own the ground you stand on''.
Its just weird bc ive never seen any trans man refer to cis men in the same way
Men in general, no (thus revealing that trans is a sexual-fetish-centered MALE supremacist movement). But lawzy, the amount of hate out there for cis gay men from TIFs—originating from the straight or bi TIFs who've been sexually rejected by gay men (because... well... um... because, like, gay men?).
Just try a search or two for cis gay men (inside quote0s for best results)—you'll find hundreds of long-form jeremiads about the many, many ways in which cis gay men just need to do better and are otherwise just all-around less than. (Loads of them are on high-profile "lgbtq+" media sites, too. Taken together, they could make a pretty good crash course in the sobering reality of what's considered professional LGBTQ+ journalism, for the newly-peaked or still-blissfully-ignorant who might still harbor scraps of the belief that the TQ+ are "marginalized".)
Just like the violent screeds against Women, this is all another window directly into the soul of genderism. The erasure of Women, co-opting of "feminism" and constant glorification of VAWG all attest to the misogyny that's one of the 2 pillars of "trans"—and all the diatribes against `cis gay men (with plenty of their own calls for gory violence) attest to the other pillar: homophobia.
And of course the combination of ALL the worst of both is reserved for Lesbians, the only group of people who are demonized by both pillars of "trans".
Oh, honey. I said this too when I started to peak and I was scared of losing all my friends.
I lost them anyway. Turns out I am fundamentally incompatible with authoritarian liars. It’s not actually a bad thing.
It enrages me that you lost your friends over this dumb shit
Thank you. <3 I posted about some of the bigger fallings-out here. There were ones that were just implied, like social media posts sucking the T dick and saying they hoped anyone who disagrees gets hit by a truck. Like “guess we won’t be catching up over coffee soon”, lol.
I was reading some comments on JKR’s Twitter today and so many of them are about how they admire the freedom with which she speaks and lives. Since shrugging off the oppressive weight of these intolerant relationships I’m feeling that, too.
I feel this.
It is a good reminder that if gender stuff had not come between us, something else would have. While a lot of us fell for it initially (or at least for the “be kind with lies” part even if the “settled science” wasn’t checking out), there’s a type that uses this kind of thing as a social cudgel to keep others in line.
Hate to say that while there are plenty of “fight me, TWAW” wokebros, some of the meanest are other women. They have this idea that they are at the top of a social ladder (maybe for the first time ever) and enjoy reducing “TERFs” to hateful, uneducated bigots. That way, they are allowed to self-define as the opposite of that, be justified in mistreating someone else, and feel like they’ve personally rescued Anne Frank or something.
