You have an uncanny ability to attract the worst people
it’s bc ppl love to “Coolsville Sucks” my posts and spread them around among people who don’t question why someone would want a jewish trans man to look bad. my favorite was when someone took a screenshot of a post where a trans woman in my inbox said she believes she experienced some instances of male socialization and part of my response where i said i’ve heard other trans women say that too, then cut off my actual post where i said i don’t believe male/female socialization exists and would never label a trans woman’s experience as “male socialization” unless that’s how she wants people to refer to it, and then went “LOOK HE BELIEVES TRANS WOMEN ARE SOCIALIZED MALE AND HAVE MALE PRIVILEGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!” like. THE definition of Coolsville Sucks.
#ask avishai#also the reason a lot of trans women i know explain it that way is bc they’re older#i don’t interact with many trans women younger than like 25#bc everyone under the age of 25 - not just trans women - r too much 4 me#and older trans women tend to have different experiences than younger ones bc they grew up in a different time#and like????????#i’m not gonna interrupt a 60 yr old trans latina and tell her ‘ummmmm actually male socialization doesn’t exist what you experienced was#conditional safety based on how you were perceived in the moment’#bc it’s fucking weird to define ppl’s experiences for them
