gendercrits with no experience of trans/nonbinary identity, detransition/desistance etc, while perfectly able to make observations on misogyny, homophobia and racism in TQ+ circles...just inherently don't seem to "get" how differing trans and nonbinary communities view gender, and make a lot of damaging assumptions and judgement errors along the way
there's no way to stop this, everyone has their own opinions after all. but it's frustrating to see, as someone who has gone from being a "trans women are women" no-debate neoqueer to being a radfem. and no doubt it's much much worse for detransitioners, bearing the brunt of most of these presumptions
equally though, it's infuriating - as a former member of the queerios club - to see self-identified queers pulling the whole "that never happens" trick. don't bullshit me, kid, i was there, i witnessed it, i experienced it lol. guess the gays can just never win 🤷♀️
#radblr#gender critical#i tried to be as nonspecific as possible#bc it's not really my call to say what is and isn't a fair judgement or observation#but i just feel this huge empathy gap#and while i don't think gender criticism should be wrapped in marshmallows to make it more appealing#i do think those with no experience with anything or anyone trans/nb/adjacent#need to do a lot more listening and a lot less generalising#fwiw i don't call myself a desister but like...i was looking up ftn surgery at one stage so yeah i guess i technically am
