garden variety conservative transphobia is going to get worse but radical feminism is also going to get worse. if youre a cis women terfs are going to try to recruit you and make you believe that the reason your rights are at stake is because of trans people. they're going to tell you that all men are your violent oppressors and they're going to include trans women in that category. they're gonna tell you about women who are gender traitors and joined the enemy and they're going to point to trans men. don't believe them. trans people are not your enemy, we have no power over you, and we desperately need your support and your solidarity.

be aware of radfem pipelines and dog whistles too. be skeptical of anyone that talks about the divine feminine or correlates birthing, menstruating, or female reproductive organs with womanhood. be especially skeptical of people who use those biological things as reasons to why women are more spiritual, or more in tune with nature, or just that they're better than men (read: anyone they decide is a man)

radical feminism is an expected reactionary outcome from cis women who are being oppressed by conservatives, especially when all they practice is ciscentric, liberal, white feminism. they feel the need to be radicalized but don't have the experience and information to pinpoint the true source of their suffering. trans people are not your enemy, AMAB people are not your enemy, anyone who identifies as a man is not your enemy. we're all being crushed under the same stone

[ID: Two comments by sapphling that read: !! also in my direct experience 90% of the time dykes who lean super hard into that idea are also going to be Weird As Fuck towards bi women. there is a really stark not-separatist-in-name tendency among tme butch/femmes on here (especially the ofos crowd) that hasn't resolved any of their misogyny re: bi women or transmisogyny etc. and instead just presumes those things to be like, Countercultural Dyke Aktion if that makes sense? idk i got blocked by half of them years before i started spouting any degenerate commiesex freak rhetoric just for the crime of having a femme who's bi and trans lol, now that kind of stuff just puts a bad taste in my mouth preemptively.

This will get me crucified but the most annoying thing to me in the world is the amount of (usually tme) lesbians who are like "butch and femme are entirely different from how men and straight women do masculinity and femininity !!!!! There is no overlap because they way we do it is super speshial" and it's like. I get what you mean about subversion but I'm sorry to break it to you but I've met a lot of butches who's entire conception of masculinity is just as plain, boring, and sexy as some of the more jock straight dudes I've ever met and I have met plenty of straight women who wear funky clothes and do makeup their own way and don't shave their legs and who have just as complicated a relationship with their womanhood as you do. I love the way yall are doing gender, it's great, but please stop trying to like section off your experience as this super duper unique thing that no other sexuality could ever understand. I promise you they can and many do understand, and that is in fact a beautiful thing. Rejoice in the overlap of human experience

so many people in europe and the united states, particularly those with power, were totally fine with hitler for years because they thought “bolshevik terror” and the threat of more revolutions succeeding across europe was worse than fascism and it drives me crazy how completely absent this historical reality is from most peoples perceptions of world war 2
