sometimes a transfem leaves a response on my "man hating tranny is a transmisogynistic myth" post and it's just so buckwild backwards that it says literally nothing and then i read to the end and it goes "uhm actually things are so complicated and the patriarchy is more complicated than (describes patriarchy explicitly) so you're wrong because this short tumblr post doesn't have comprehensive intersectional analysis so you must be too silly and dumb to understand it... also You're the condescending one cuz you kindly told me to assess myself as the social class of tma so actually feminism is useless" like... we're both women here it actually doesn't benefit you to bimbofy me as part of your argument, and i think condescension is thrown around as an accusation a bit too much on this site if apparently telling women that they are women and that it materially benefits them to see themselves as women in feminist analysis is apparently condescension, just reads as anti-intellectualism with extra steps
#is the next dogwhistle 'condescending transfeminist'??? cuz it's starting to seem like it#talking about theory in very plain if emphatic terms is not condescension#especially on a fucking social media#if you already understand the content of the post then yea it's not for you cuz you already know#it's not condescending to come across information you already know being expressed in a way to reach people who are not you#tho these responses clearly indicate that they really do not know so#maybe they're just upset that i bullseyed their transmisogynistic blind spot and are lashing out#idk it's mostly sad#block and move on kinda situation but i really can't help but think abt it a lot#that there are trans women out there just wholeheartedly believing they have access to patriarchal power#and their only argument for that is 'it's complicated'
