i hate when you're in a trans-friendly environment and talk about like. doing things to pass better and TME people are like "what even is feminine anyways? what is a woman? the things women are made to feel like they have to do are so misogynistic, I think you shouldn't be worrying about those things."

like thanks for the feminism 101 dude, but I don't need musing about the nature of misogyny, I've been a feminist for over 10 years. this is about how people treat me poorly if I don't pass well enough. like i agree with you on all accounts, seeing as how I am affected by these things, but like. believing they're wrong doesn't mean I'm not still pressured by them. :/

like i went into the voice training clinic last year and I told the lady how I wanted to train my voice to be more feminine because I was struggling with keeping it in register, and it's been upsetting for me because when I fall out of register people treat me differently, gender me as a man, view me with suspicion, and I'm worried about how it might happen when a man tries to hit on me or something and the idea of a man thinking i "tricked him" into "being gay" is really scary for me, and she's like "oh, what even Is a feminine voice, anyways?" like. thanks girlie. it's definitely just my internal perceptions and not my lived experience.

just, the way TME people just Assume trans women don't know about feminism is so frustrating. constantly on the back foot like "no, no, I'm a feminist, believe me, however, I've been threatened for not passing well enough, so I face a lot of pressure to do so, sorry that you think I'm enforcing the gender binary by trying to preserve my safety."

ERASE the idea that America saved lives by dropping two atomic bombs on Japan from your minds. ERASE the idea that it was anything more than a political move to scare Russia and also to satiate US curiosity as to the true ability of nuclear weapons. Nagasaki and Hiroshima were not military bases. They were heavily populated civilian cities chosen precisely bc the U.S. wanted to see how many people an atomic bomb could kill in one go. Japan was on the verge of surrendering, the U.S. literally wanted to test out their nuclear weapons on people that they deemed disposable. That is it. If those bombs were dropped by any nation other than the US veryone involved would have been tried as war criminals.

Like remember when it was pretty well understood by men who were actually chill to be around that like obviously I hate all men wasn’t universal and if women felt comfortable saying that around you it meant you were cool and now instead every fuckin loser dude is like actually by saying men suck you’re enforcing bioessentialism and the patriarchy or some shit. Shut up you fucking crybaby

i understand the intention is good when people go on my posts abt fatphobia and body politics to be like "actually being slightly chubby is healthy! it's healthier to be 10 pounds overweight! it's good for your body to have a little bit of extra fat!" but the thing is that that thinking has a hard and fast BMI limit. i am not talking about people who maybe get a couple rolls of they sit down, i am talking about people who are big enough that our autonomy is forfeit, that we are routinely touched and prodded without or consent, that we are filmed neck-down when walking around to generate stock footage clips for news segments on the grotesquerie of our bodies. the kind of people you reference when you comfort an insecure slightly chubby friend by telling them "hey, you're not even like, that fat." it is impossible not to notice the concerted effort to pull any kind of conversation around fatlib away from these dangerous, scandalous bodies and back towards a less threatening maybe-slightly-overweight body which we can still squeeze into a size 10 and excuse under present models of medical moralism. i'm not saying we need to put 20 pounds on our understanding of the morally correct body, i'm saying that i need you to stop conceptualizing any body at all as a disease or an epidemic, particularly those which are too large for you to acknowledge as deserving dignity
