sorry since realizing my gender i have zero tolerance for the whole “man hating” angle of being queer i hate i hate it i hate you. stop. you are hurting people.
#This is terf rhetoric#the phrase in and out of terf context is still a problem#the context of the phrase matters#when someone says “i hate men” in the context of power imbalances and oppression i think this makes sense#when “i hate all men” is taken into the queer space it alienates a lot of queer people#to take it a step further the phrase even alienates men (queer and cis and non cis men) from these discussions#to all my queer mens out there i do not actually hate you. i hate the people who have been wronging you and i. those people happen to be men#obviously my blog is anti-terf btw#trans men and all trans ppl welcome heheh hiiii#same goes for mogai and intersex and all queer ppl#i am nonbinary and amab so as someone who has heard “i hate men” all my life it did have a negative impact on me and often excluded me from#conversations about men and what men do or have done. it targeted me for being male#i was extremely lucky to have the queer people and women i did have in my childhood because i was not always excluded.#i dont want to exclude men and i acknowledge when i say “i hate men” it's exclusionary#i know there are plenty of men (cis and not cis) who have fallen to a radical view of gender because of this exclusion#start having those hard conversations about the things that bother you#it might not be the easiest thing to do and you might not find like minded people quickly#you might find yourself surrounded by people you cant get along with#it will be okay because there will be someone who can understand your view and be a friend to you#i was welcomed into queer and feminine spaces when i presented as male#i was lucky to have that experience#give another man a chance. it will be okay to cut someone out of your life if they suck
