Back when I was doing antiracist blogging a white commenter tried to get across her haven't i made up for it cred by saying "As a child I cried over the smallpox blankets, okay?"

That's what I think of every time I see things like this.

I… dont want to do that? I know what happened what good does it do

Every Olympic cycle I’m reminded how little “the West” knows about “Non-Western” countries because to think Algeria, of all countries, would send a trans athlete to represent them in the Olympics is so dumb.

"Transandrophobia isn't real because that implies trans women oppress trans men" it doesn't, but do you think this way because you think transmisogyny means trans men oppress trans women?

"Transandrophobia is reactionary to transmisogyny and is just a way to make trans men feel special and more important" it isn't, but do you think that way because you think Transmisogyny is more "special and important" than other forms of oppression?

"Androphobia and misandry aren't real, so transandrophobia can't be" because you're basing your viewpoint on transmisogyny, and misogyny is the ultimate victimhood for you, right? Because we can't have a conversation separate from transmisogyny, because transmisogyny is the worst form of victimization, and everything stems from misogyny, especially transmisogyny. If you're not talking about misogyny, you might as well shut up.

And we can't have issues that aren't shared with cis people, because otherwise we aren't "really" men and women. Because white cishet people are the ones we should be looking to when we "prove" our identity through our suffering, right?

To be a woman, you have to suffer. To be a man, you can never suffer. You can never just be. You have guilt and shame and violence and self sacrifice to be doing if you dare to transition into power.

Because if you, a trans man, don't have male privilege, that must mean that trans women do, because we all live in opposite to eachother, even though the framework of male privilege is something made by and for cis people. If trans women are suffering, that must mean that you aren't.

You can't talk about your own life or struggles or else you're indirectly talking about trans women, and cis men, and cis women, and everyone else except you.

(And fuck non-binary and intersex people and whatever they have going on with their identities that shits just not important to our oppositional viewpoint, right? We can make them fit in this box based off of their genitals, anyway. Dont bring racism into this either, you're just being misogynistic if you do.)

“When white women are confronted with the possibility they can be perpetrators, and not only victims, of oppressive actions and they burst out crying, antiracist work grinds to a halt. A white woman sobs, and the room falls to her feet. These tears seemingly perform a self-baptism. They cleanse the sufferer of any past wrongs and invest her with a martyred authority flowing from the realm of allegedly indisputable truth: her own hurt feelings. Some of the sanctifying innocence widely afforded to white women when they cry can be traced back to an original wellspring: the inkpot of Harriet Beecher Stowe.

This makes what Angela Carini did even worse, cos now it means crying those white woman tears was intentional

If you believe white women face less misogyny than woc, you shouldn’t call yourself a feminist as you are too naive to understand how patriarchy works. White privilege doesn’t exist when it comes to women facing sexism and oppression. Under the patriarchy, all women are equally oppressed regardless of their financial status, social status, colour of the skin, race, religion or ethnicity. No rich woman is less of a victim than a poor or middle-class woman just because she has a lot of money, no famous woman is less of a victim than another woman who is not a popular celebrity, similarly, no white woman is less of a victim than a woman of colour just because she’s white. Racism is a social construct created by patriarchy to divide women. On one side, racist white women (who are socialised by the system to believe being white makes them superior) exclude woc from their feminism, and in retaliation to that some woc cry about "white women tears" when they see them facing misogyny which in turn, again, fuels up the rage of white women and they become more hateful towards woc. This is what patriarchy wants. It wants to divide women by instilling hatred between us to pave an easy path for men to oppress women. So before you choose to ignore any woman’s suffering, keep in mind that by doing so you’re making it easy for the misogynists.

Tiktok white women mad that a brown girl could play Rapunzel cause "it's a German story"

And like lets ignore the racism (because if y'all think she'd be a great Mother Gothel but not a good Rapunzel because of her melanin especially after Mother Gothel is already a racist caricature ...) and focus on the fact that the Brothers Grimm went all around the world collecting stories which had been passed down orally and shared between cultures.

Rapunzel is not just a German story first, Even the Brothers Grimm got it as a French story. Rapunzel is an Italian story before that, and before that Rapunzel is a Persian story.

By the logic y'all are using Jasmine should be Chinese, Cinderella should be Egyptian Snow White should be Malay and Pocahontas should be 9 (and not in love with John Smith for god sake she was a real 9 year old girl)

[hippityhoppityyourenowmyproperty]

This is outrageous. A white woman loses to a woman of color in a fair fight after forfeiting, cries white woman tears, and gets $50,000 by an intersexist organization while the woc is publicly harrassed and villified and racist assholes insist she's a violent, monstrous abomination.

"are men in danger of being harmed just because a woman said something mean?"

Do emotional and physiological abuse mean nothing to you?

Also, have you never heard of white women's tears, where Black men are often in danger due to what a white woman says?

Hate when I see a white woman making jokes about being evil as a treat...bitch haven't you done enough?

[privateenemy]

do transandrophobia theory detractors allege that there's an equivalent "afab tears" that trans people afab / people they call t(he)yfab wield? is there an actual word they use that attempts to cohere this? like ive seen "cissexual afab privilege" a couple times on twitter but only "afab / ""female"" privilege" on /tttt/ and i keep seeing detractors saying that trans people afab use their agab to seem defenseless/harmless (and i assume analogously that "white woman tears" is used within transmisogyny too, which i could see, that's definitely an existing dynamic within transmisogynoir. but I'd want a more comprehensive answer than "all people afab use this against all tma people")
