#little girls into terfs

Making the left kinder and more empathetic should always be a goal we strive to attain but I think we do more damage than harm by pretending people, even young people, do not frequently choose to participate in systems of oppression explicitly because of the way that that participation benefits them. If you don’t acknowledge the problems for what they are, the reality for what it is, you will not come up with solutions that will actually work.
I genuinely don’t believe there’d be a dip in people like Tate’s popularity if we cut the anti-men shit in Half. Its important to curb sure. But its not relevant Here, in This context.
#that vaush has misdirected people into having this argument where we essentially argue that we shouldn't shit on harry potter or we'll make#little girls into terfs#its genuinely a bit distressing#the commentary ive seen/heard from him on this has been so very disingenuous and in bad faith#and this idea that cis boys are so fragile that we must handle them with special gloves feels so#demeaning to children and cross purposes to what we're trying to do#which is to disincentivize people joining systems where they tangibly benefit over others#like if someone on the right said this shit we;d all agree this is bullshit.

All the jokes about Ken and horses are good but I just wanna say it's such a good parallel to how actual young men get swept into misogyny and the patriarchy.
Like they're told to believe it means men get to be cool and manly and have this power but with that comes extremely rigid commands of what they can be as a man and a cycle of self hatred for never matching those gender roles perfectly. Patriarchy tells men that if they just do exactly what is expected of them, then they get all the "cool stuff" that comes with. That doesn't work though when there's only a small group that actually gets that power, but men will keep trying to fit into those roles in hopes that they can.
In the end there are no horses or the myth men are told, it's just endless cycles of self hatred and ingroup fighting.
#barbie#barbie movie#barbie spoilers#ig#ive got a lot more on how barbie looks at feminism and the patriarchy cause god they did it#not to say there isnt faults such as very little conversation about intersectionality#but i can also understand the impossible task of talking about EVERYTHING in one movie#not everyone will be happy and thats fine#anyway i think something barbie did really well is fight this battle of both wanting so deeply to love (romantically or not) men but also#not dismissing the fact its mens job to solve their problems themselves#that even if women need to be the front runners of breaking the patriarchy men cannot rely on them to solve their own problems completely#also just god im so glad this wasnt a girl boss slay movie#women deserve respect and love and life regardless of accomplishment#we should not have to be ceos and presidents and world problem solvers to gain equality#i can also understand if nonbinary people feel left out/disconnected from the movie#but as always gender abolition and acknowledging the gender binary (ie the one societially impossed) go hand and hand 👍#just incase cause idfk terfs dni the barbie movie is not for you#barbie literally states constantly that her gender has nothing to do with (non existent) genitals so f off

GOT! Karlach's experience of gender is getting sometimes sir'd, sometimes ma'am'd, often stuttered at fearfully, and approached by chasers on Both sides of the transgender experience
#got! karlach has butch t girl swag lets not let it go unstated.#theres a state of trans butch-ness where agab becomes irrelevant bc your features are so overlapping that they're a little indistinguishabl#(like when I was getting terfs misidentifying me as a trans woman and sending me harrassment a few years ago lmao)#and Got! karlach is riiiiight there

for anyone wondering about current public opinion on trans ppl in the uk, tories have #boycottcostacoffee trending on twitter bc this mural put on a random costa express van for brighton pride last year shows a person w/ top surgery scars and apparantly thats 'glorifying the irreversible mutilation of young women's bodies', so yeah, we're doing great (:
#transgender#transmisandry#transandrophobia#uk politics#uk news#terf island once again having a normal and sane one (:#og post //#ik its haha funny old man yells at cloud type energy that a bunch of tory losers have nothing better to do that complain abt a coffee van#but trans men are fucking HATED here. we're told our gender affirming care is mutilation#they paint us as confused little girls with body dysmorphia who are trying to 'escape' misogyny#how much terfs and transphobes damage the public perception of trans women gets a lot of attention and it absolutely should#but trans men are not an afterthought or dragged-in-bystander in their bigotry. we are direct targets

Oh btw, I still remember how some of you deeply disturbed, terminally online fuckfaces ran macroclit off Tumblr for *checks notes* having an abortion. The access to safe and legal abortions isn't the cornerstone and rallying cry of feminists or anything, surely not.
Everyone even tangentially involved in that shittery is a clown of the highest magnitude. I hope you realize that sooner than later and make some changes to yourself on a molecular level
#my stuff#macroclit#fake ass feminists#just little girls playing at being mean girls#i'm not just talking about the anon harassers either#gc friendly#terfs please touch

I try to understand the viewpoints of people different to me, because I think it's very important to know how bigotry works so I don't accidentally fall into it myself.
I understand, on some level, how a lot of bigotry works. Racism, sexism, homophbia...but one I can't quite understand is Trans-Inclusive Radical Feminism.
RadFem beliefs are built on the idea that "Man = Bad, Woman = Good", right? And, by extension, TERF (Trans-Exclusive RadFem) is a stance where a Trans Woman is "just a predatory man trying to invade women's spaces". (We're not gonna mention the way they treat trans men because 1: I don't have as much experience learning about that one and 2: It isn't as relevant here).
That's a pretty simple conclusion to make, right? Incorrect, definitely, but simple. If "men are all evil and abusive" is your belief, then "trans women are just men trying to prey on women" is a pretty easy conclusion to come to, I feel.
But TIRF ideology seems a little less simple. To a TIRF, anyone with a penis is evil and predatory and abusive...UNLESS they claim to be trans? Like, if you believe men are all those horrible things, wouldn't you be a little suspicious when a biologically male individual comes up to you and says "But I'm actually a woman, you can trust me!"
Is it like with transmeds and shit where you have to be the "right" kind of trans? Do I have some misunderstanding of the ideology? I don't get where it comes from tbh.
#tw terf#tw transphobia#tw tirf#tw radfem#because like#it also follows in reverse;#terfs believe a trans man is just 'a girl wanting to escape victimhood'#but to a tirf a trans man is...evil? predatory? somehow?#terf beliefs rely on biology but tirf beliefs by definition need to exclude biology#where is the logic#how do they come to these conclusions#i am so confused#i thought maybe it was based on socialization but...#trans men? would have a female socialization??#they wouldn't be raised like men because people thought they were little girls???

i need tumblr to understand that asking me, like...once a month or whatever to get tumblr premium or whatever it's called actively makes me LESS likely to buy it than i already was. we have moved from a position of zero likelihood to negative likelihood. are we aiming for a loop around? what is the plan here?
#same with that little fuckin frog popup i keep getting.#i don't remember what that's for. tumblr ad free shit? the tumblr shop? whatever it is i don't want it#i'm not paying shit all for this website while terfs and nazis are allowed to run free but god forbid a trans woman exist#like. after that debacle with the ceo going scorched earth on that girl? no money for you Ever tumblr sorry about it

I have seen far too many aphobic posts now that either hate sex repulsed aces for "giving the community a bad name" or whatever, or hate sex favorable aces for like, being fine with sex.
Hey aphobes, aspec labels are about attraction not. What we are comfortable with or enjoy doing.
God yall are just fucking rancid.
Leave aspec people alone if you wanna hate so bad.
#also these types of people also tend to be terfs.#many of them are like “aces are so obsessed with sex now boohoo” or “these poor brainwashed little girls oh waaahhh” fuck offffff#god im so fucking tired#aphobia#asexual

posting this here bc ive put this topic on my main enough for today
its not directly related to what ive been talking about but i keep thinking about how people say stuff like "terfs never target trans mascs because they want to convert them" and its like, does anyone have any idea how horribly sexually predatory terfs actually are to trans mascs? like i wouldnt expect anyone to go looking for what terfs actually talk about but the shit they say about fetishizing trans mascs, infiltrating trans spaces specifically to prey on them, forcing them to detransition, rape, its not good.
and then they turn around and call gay trans men fetishizing rapists
and like i dont dig that deep into terf blogs sometimes i go through them because i like to update shinigami eyes and get some blocklist coverage and this stuff is not hard to find, theyre posting this stuff in their bios and pinned.
#such a weird situation to be in where trans mascs are constantly oversexualized and fetishized and then literally at the same time talked#about how were so disgusting and unappealing and such a waste of a pretty girl#i know its exactly the same for transfems too like ugh#i know they (terfs) infiltrate trans spaces irl and pretend not to be terfs bc ive seen several people from both sides talk about it#like the trans mascs will be like yeah im pretty sure my creepy roommate is a terf i need to get tf out of here#and terfs are like help how do i bang my sexy tif roommate who has no idea im a terf and hate (his) stupid little identity

kinda wanna blow some terfs minds by telling them that i, an afab, also identify as a trans woman. woman but in a trans way
#ive seen some terfs make jokes about it like it's some hilarious hypothetical that couldn't possibly be a reality for anyone#it's almost a little hurtful tbh#afab trans girl#afab trans woman#trans stuff#queer stuff#nonbinary#terfs can interact. if u want#i mean i know im gonna get my identity disrespected by transphobes either way cus that's transphobes entire deal#it doesn't usually touch me tbh#im not detrans and i won't be. im deeply trans in so many ways#i need a tag for my own rambles

most of the discourse on here is stupid and i have a real life where i engage meaningfully with these things offline but it's incredibly depressing to see people attacking trans men for wanting to use a word other than "misogyny" to describe their often violent and specific oppression
#if you don't understand that trans men face different attacks than other trans people#and that perhaps we should not be forcing them to describe those attacks as 'misogynistic' when conservatives and TERFS alike are obsessed#with pretending that all trans men and boys are just confused delicate vulnerable little girls#then i don't know what to fucking tell you except that you are seriously lacking in compassion#this isn't theoretical. it's animating republican legislatures as we speak

tumblr stop recommending me terfs challenge! yes i am a feminist, but i am also hugely trans and believe intersectionality is the only way forward. yes i believe in deconstructing gender and gender roles but i also know how important gender is to people's sense of self, and that it's impossible to try to categorize gender more specifically than "a [gender] is defined as someone who identifies as a [gender]" without excluding someone, just like when in metaphysics my professor asked "define what a chair is" and then pulled out so many examples of "okay, by your definition a stool isnt a type of chair" and "what about bean bag chairs" or "that could be a table, which implies that all tables are chairs"
terfs and swerfs could be fighting for and with everyone against the oppressive systems we live under but they're so set in their ways that they refuse to see how the patriarchy harms men too, or how even if the porn industry has a lot of problems, many people of all genders enjoy sex work and are fulfilled by choosing it as a career path, or how a lot of the things trans people are fighting for would result in a better world for everyone- but it's easier to just say "rights for me but all men are evil oppressors and trans people are either traumatised or are evil and anyone doing sw is coerced or damaging our fight"
i could go on about this for way longer but i already have a bad feeling this might end up spreading further than i'd like so TO REITERATE:
TERFS AND SWERFS FUCK OFF. THERE IS NO LIBERATION FOR ONE UNLESS WE UPLIFT EVERYONE. INTERSECTIONALITY IS KEY. ok bye
#tegan rants#feminism#trans rights#sw rights#intersectional feminism#terfs fuck off#really i think a lot of radfems could be huge voices for feminism if they learned how to have nuance and be intersectional#infighting gets us nowhere but solidarity holds power#like#i'm transmasc and any time someone refers to me as anything woman or femme related i feel so uncomfortable#but i was still born in a female body and still get read as a woman a lot and still was raised as a girl#so i will always hold space in my heart for that little girl who didnt know why men were whistling at her in sweatpants and a hoodie#or why her classmates were making uncomfortable comments at far too young an age#but i also have detatched myself from femininity a lot now because i find euphoria in the ways i express masculinity#and i know trans ppl fighting for that right to expression will make space for women who have deeper voices or broader shoulders#or even women who would just prefer to be butch and cut their hair short#i will shut up now but be nice to each other and hold space for each other#there is no way forward without solidarity

hey tumblr, thanks for recommending me a TERF post "based on my likes." I hope the hour I spent blocking as many people as I could bear in the notes is enough of a hint for you.
#i've seen some shit this morning y'all#like it was one of those posts that i initially agreed with but then alarm bells went off in my head at some of the phrasing#the post was about how 2-year-olds and 3-year-olds don't have a concept of gender yet because they're too little#followed by 'amazing it's almost like telling kids what boys and girls are will help them understand'#so i checked the notes and it was rampant with terfs#the main post was never tagged as anything though someone just posted a twitter screenshot#i need to find the terf tags post thing cuz i didnt have time to block before but i guess i do now#now i'm paranoid about how much of my stuff has been this shit and i never realized#anyway be careful guys it's fucking BAD out here#dimond speaks#tw transphobia#tw transphobes#and like i agree- 2 and 3 are too young for this stuff since the gender binary is so fucking strong#of course girls can play with dinosaurs if they want that doesn't make them boys#but kinds will understand that the more experience and knowledge they gain of the world around them#they barely know they're sentient yet of course they're gonna get confused#but once they DO get a better handle on what gender is then some of them are gonna realize that being a boy was the right answer all along#you cannot make that judgement for them#and also like no harm no fowl if they DO think they're trans for a while? like what's wrong with that??#this shit is complex as fuck and i do not expect a 3-year-old to get it okay?#took me til i was about 15 to even know trans people existed at all and a couple more months to realize i was one too#and i'm fucking dumb like i'm not a good metric to go off of#but even if 3-year-olds aren't going to understand that's where you as the parent have to help them understand it#but little by little#like as teenagers and adults we can just look something up and tada! there's the answer!#kids can't do that yet they DO need parents to help them#those parents just also have to be aware of how they're teaching their kids#there's a difference between 'girls like pink and boys like blue' and 'and your age it literally doesn't matter but girls like she/her'#and that was a terrible example but i'm not a parent so#you figure it out

hey so i'm not making a DNI because i don't want to (i initially had a longer attempt at articulating a reason and then i realized i don't have to explain more than "i don't want to") but the past few blogs that have followed me are very harry pottter focused and given the actions and rhetoric of jk rowling i'd appreciate it if any blogs who prominently post harry potter themed content would kindly refrain from following me.
you can probably still reblog my posts, not bc of my moral stance but bc honestly i don't really notice who reblogs from me unless they have a huge red flag in their url, but in terms of following my blog i'd prefer it if harry potter bloggers could just not
and i know there's always the excuse of separating the art from the artist (like people who continue to post about harry potter but end every post with "fuck jkr tho"), and not everyone even knows why jkr is a horrible person bc a lot of the discussion is very online (that's the reason this is worded so empathetically, i'm assuming harry potter fans who follow me are in either of these two camps but if you're just an outright terf then go fuck yourself of course). but even if you're entirely dedicated to balancing every harry potter post with a post about hating terfs, the fact that harry potter is still being promoted in a way that's uncritical of the content itself makes me uncomfortable and by making the harry potter brand maintain relevance that's still supporting jkr no matter how many times you put "fuck terfs" on your blog
disagree with me if you want bc i can't control whether people post about one of the largest fandoms in history, but i can make a statement being like "hey if you follow me and your most recent posts are all harry potter gifsets i will be blocking you so honestly for your own convenience please don't put in the effort of following me"
#this might honestly come across as TOO forgiving but i want to assume people have good intentions#in terms of cognitive dissonance about the issue or just not knowing about it#also ngl even aside from the controversy i just don't think harry potter is even that great of a story?#like yeah i enjoyed the first few books in middle school but honestly anything after book 4 just felt miserable or boring imo#and there were ABSOLUTELY problematic aspects people should have picked up on#(even the very system of ''hogwarts houses'' annoyed me. like yes i know british private schools did actually have houses)#(the hogwarts system still sucked tho i hated it even as a little kid)#i remember in like 2017 before the terf thing came out i would frequently peruse the ''anti jkr'' tag#bc all of my friends were like ''yeah it has its problems but here's a fix-it fanfic that does it sooo well!!!''#and i'd be like no i don't want harry potter fanfiction the real fix-it is just reading a different book jfc#and i did once end a friendship because someone assigned hogwarts houses to the characters in other girls#(that wasn't the only reason i stopped being friends with them they were a shitty person in general but that was a Moment)#anyway harry potter blogs can y'all please unfollow me i don't want to spend minutes of my day blocking you i have better things to do

Okay I think I have it figured out now.
I am a girl. But being a girl is relatively low on my list of priorities in terms of things I identify as/with.
#Meow.#Like you know how Terfs will say stuff that makes it clear they identify as women first and people second?#I’m more like…#Person first. Cat second. Queer third. Dog fourth. Then little guy. THEN girl.
