Hey so when I find out whoever made it a rule that women (or those perceived as) are automatically mean/bitchy/rude/stuck up when they're actually just quiet

WHEN I FIND YOU-

I think one of the biggest issues with the whole transandrophobia debacle that's going is that these denialists don't realize that there's a difference between perceived and actual power, something that's actually covered in University level gender studies courses.

Do trans men automatically gain power within the confines of the patriarchy once they pass, or even start on T? No.

Is there some scenarios where it's perceived by others (and therefore may hold real power over their voices) that trans men have power? Absolutely.

But that doesn't mean that a trans guy once he passes, and quits his job to work at another place in the same field, and now gets a pay raise because he's now perceived as a man automatically is now exempt from issues that still leave him with less power (abortion rights for example). He may have more perceived power, but still less actualized power.

Same could be said about any other group. A white man may be perceived as having more power due to being white, while also being homeless, or a rich white woman may be perceived as having more power due to being white and rich, while also being in a domestic violence situation with her husband, with her 2 kids and lacking the ability to leave her partner.

I'm really trying to hold on to the idea that elders are talking about: that bush was worse than trump. He did a bunch of fucked up shit. He demolished the middle east. He has war crimes upon war crimes on his name. Granted he was quiet, but pigs squeal the loudest. Trump did like 40% of what he was campaigning about last time, maybe less. I genuinely think he won't be doing shit, he's just loud as fuck and belligerent.

And this is exactly why they hate fact checking.

"neurotypicals are frankly soft when it comes to social differences and need to learn how to accept them" and "autism doesn't make you immune to being an asshole because of social ineptness" needs exist at the same time
