I Feel Like So Much Of Basic Online/offline Social Etiquette Can Be Summed Up Like This; Other People

I feel like so much of basic online/offline social etiquette can be summed up like this; Other people exist and like different things from you, and that is a right you have to respect.

I have seen an uptick in posts from tumblr users in the vein of 'You shouldn't believe any accusations against transwomen!' since the Lily video was released, and on one hand I agree that , especially with transwomen, you should handle it with a grain of salt, but the black and white ideology of it going around has me thinking of victims like you, so I have to ask, as an outspoken victim of an abusive transwoman, what do you feel when you see posts like that? Do you feel unheard or erased when those posts go around?

I understand this is a tricky situation, especially with transwomen, but it genuinely feels like another situation of tumblr throwing away nuance in abusive situations on that basis of an abusers identity.

Tbh this is something that's been an issue the whole time in regards to Lily and a couple of other examples.

On the one hand, I get it. Innocent trans women get a ton of undeserved shit and wild accusations just because of who they are on a regular basis. I understand where the knee-jerk defensiveness and anger comes from.

On the other, when it gets to the point where you're not even willing to look at evidence presented by numerous people making similar allegations of abuse, manipulation, ect, that's a problem. Regardless of what demographic a person falls in, burying your head in the sand and refusing to get the other side of the story, or even worse completely dismissing evidence when you see it, is not protecting the community. On the contrary, it's doing even more harm. Not only does that behavior allow actual predators and abusive people continue to get away with their behavior and victimize more people within the community, to outsiders, they see "the rest" of the community willingly protecting dangerous individuals. Which in turn gives actual bigots ammo to point to and confirm their biases.

Yes, it's true that trans women get falsely accused of things a lot. That's a massive problem. But that doesn't mean all accusations are automatically false. Nobody is immune to being abusive and causing harm.

the thing that sucks most about Joanne Rowling being a terf is that she is actively hurting real life trans people every day.

the second worst thing about joanne being a terf is that the Harry Potter intellectual property is So Much Larger than her. look at the credits for just one of the harry potter movies. every single one of those people put YEARS of time and effort and dare i say love into those films. think of all the people involved in theme park design and operation who put together the wizarding world park lands and detailed them so lovingly and fully

and yet even though the intellectual property of harry potter is so much larger than joanne, she's poisoned the whole well

i feel so. so immensely sorry for every person involved in the harry potter ip who isn't jkr. doubly sorry for every trans person involved. it's fucking sad

I hate the internet, i hate how nasty and disguising it has become. The oversaturation of hate, of just negativity and anger each other shows is truly unbearable. How community, love and friendship is viewed as expendable has bled into the real world and i have never felt more lonely. You are the salt of the earth, the hatred of it all you pool at the bottom, under my shoe, reminding me that hell is very much real and it closer then i realize.

Maybe it just me, maybe my heart wasnt made for this, my thoughts that i had harden over the years was simply that, whatever disgust this is i now realize i wasnt made for.

I feel like an outsider, like a visitor of hell looking in

I'm noticing that [adult swim] is getting more female-oriented nowadays. yolo, birdgirl, them rescuing tuca and bertie, unicorn warriors eternal having a female lead and romantic subplot, my adventures with superman pretty much being a shojo, sailor moon airing on the toonami rewind block, invincible fight girl, women wearing shoulder pads.

considering that Mike Lazzo infamously said that women aren't funny and refused to hire them, I see this an absolute win. he must be sooooo angry right now lol
