im wanting to help give my cis friend who isn't internet poisoned a primer of whats going on re: current wave of anti trans masculinity and i was wondering if you knew of a few good posts to send them to start off with? or perhaps a compilation post of posts? there's a ton of posts made by us individually so it's kinda hard to gather all the info together by myself so im wishing to crowdsource it. they already know about baeddelism so i was hoping specifically for the most recent resurgence?
I don't have a ton on the current resurgence of baeddelism due to it's mostly on twitter and the bird app makes me actively miserable to be on.
the context I do have is amelia baeddelia (who you should be able to find on Twitter and Tumblr under that name; can't find my post talking about her right now but I'll look again in a bit) specifically, who, afaik, is the person who started said resurgence. I'd say most of the context needed to understand it is knowledge of the original movement, given it's literally just a rehash (but with even more gaslighting this time), but I think it's also largely backlash this time around- against transmascs speaking up in recent years- whereas the original movement sprung up with much less provocation, and seemed more like a natural next step in the radical feminism that had been growing in strength for a while by then. I could be wrong, though, I definitely was not clued into things myself at the time.
Which is just to say it's not the same now as it was then, though the fact that they want it to be makes it just as dangerous.
Idk! I don't have like a categorized list of posts for you on this, but maybe someone else knows of some good resources to start with?
