t.erfs (derogatory)
Tumblr media
genuinely so fucking tired of (reactionaries online in general) pulling out the “getting panic attacks over making phone calls = they’re so weak & funny haha” (& then especially these ppl claiming to be “feminists” but can’t extend feminist analyses enough to deconstruct their strength worship/support of weakness-as-deserving-of-mockery) and also people who “get panic attacks over making phone calls” ARE USUALLY SEVERELY TRAUMATIZED AND THAT IS USUALLY A SYMPTOM OF SIGNIFICANT TRAUMA/A HISTORY OF ABUSE and the people who are in most need of lethally violent resistance to their abusers/oppressors are people who are extremely vulnerable & “weak” & struggling & have been massively disempowered on a broad societal scale and you cannot make any form of Strongman (or strongwoman, ahem) posturing truly supportive of survivors
(i do know people with Extremely Severe & popularly mocked mental illness/trauma symptoms whom i would consider also capable of killing if push really came to shove - but that’s not really something i’d ever support turning into some sort of badge of honor/valor/deservingness or whatever, a lot of this is a result of necessity/desperation being pushed to the edge but also i’m not really interested in recreating ableist standards of moral judgment in any form and the results of that creeping into movements tends to be v. toxic & dangerous)
(if OP applied this same sneering fakeclaiming rhetoric abt suicide to i.e. “cis women/girls always claiming they’ve considered/attempted suicide bc of misogynistic oppression”/“wow look they’re all ~spiraling out~ over ~mild~ misogynistic microaggressions/coercive redefinitions of their selfhoods all the time how cringe”/“silly hysterical females who think they’re tough/threatening/scary but they’re actually super weak & couldn’t possibly fight against us” it would be obvious that these are all just reskinned mra-type/patriarchal framings and incredibly shitty)
(love the (other) casually ableist/bigoted terminology in tags too /s)
(and ofc whole take is fucking bold when trans ppl are more vulnerable to sexual violence than cis fems & are even less supported as victims/survivors & are even more despised & targeted by patriarchy shut up already honestly)
(we’ll take all the cringe & anxiety-ridden & visibly-disabled & weak & incapable & vulnerable & suicidal & defeated survivors u cast out bc ability to appear Superior and Tough should not be an entry ticket u pay for healing & safety)
