This Speaking As A Cis Person. Nothing Brings Me More Joy Seeing People Find Gender Euphoria In Becoming

begging young people to stop getting all their opinions from pinterest and tiktok

NO, radical feminism doesn’t suddenly become a-okay as long as it’s trans inclusive

NO, you being traumatized by men doesn’t give you an excuse to threaten random people you perceive as men

NO, someone’s identity not making sense to you isn’t a personal attack against you or the queer community as a whole

NO, you can’t call intersex people disordered or deformed

NO, intersex people DO want to be included in the queer community, stop speaking on our behalf

NO, using the f slur AS A SLUR isn’t reclaiming it, regardless of whether it applies to you or not

NO, having kinks isn’t a gateway to becoming a horrible abuser

NO, it’s not okay to threaten random people for having contradictory labels

NO, sex work is not inherently predatory and always abuse

NO, men CAN AND DO have periods and get pregnant (YES, including those icky cis men. intersex cis men exist)

You can separate the art from the artist, but you cannot separate the artist from that art's profit.

Some women are conditioned to be fragile and weak, and to believe that it's a sin to outperform a man. Her feminism would involve allowing women to be strong.

Some women are expected to be strong at times when they can't. Her feminism would involve reassuring her that it's okay to not be strong.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're too stupid to ever amount to anything. Their disability activism would involve reassuring them that they're capable.

Some neurodivergent people are raised to believe that they're smart and gifted, and are expected to live up to impossible standards. Their disability activism would involve allowing them to fail, make mistakes, be stupid, etc.

Some children are constantly reminded "you're the child, I'm the adult" in order to deny their autonomy. Their youth rights activism would involve treating them like an adult at times when they feel ready for it.

Some children are treated like adults in order to justify increased expectations or to downplay abuse against them. Their youth rights activism would involve allowing them to be a child.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution to oppression. Each individual person's experience is different. Whatever trauma is caused by their oppression, the activism should focus on undoing it.

Mfs will be like “Omg I hate radfems and terfs! They’re awful! Radfeminsim and Terf ideology is bad!!!” And then turn around and be like “All men are evil and bad and all women are pure and good! But it’s okay this time because I’m including trans people!!!!”

"the best way to screw jkr over is by making her characters queer!" actually. The best way to screw jkr over is to stop engaging with the property she still profits off of and read a different fucking book

Actually feminists want you to shut the fuck up about how much you hate men and males. Yeah we voted. We decided it's actually super uncool to hate half of humanity due to something beyond their control.

the fact that any athlete can be subjected to "gender testing" on a whim because osmeone thinks she is too strong, too fast, just simply Too Good to be a woman is so fucking antifeminist, how can these people not see it?

Kids, because it is all kids and teenagers, who identify as RCTA (race change to another) don’t realize they’re racist because they’re all white kids who think the only form of racism that exists is “I hate people of color” and don’t know about micro aggressions, fetishization, and cultural appropriation.

They’re also just dealing with very normal teenage insecurities and body dysmorphia, but instead of recognizing that they aren’t happy with how they look because they’re 14, they think that looking like someone else entirely will fix them. Which isn’t a healthy mindset but is super common! But picking their ideal self image to be another race and then becoming so obsessed with another culture that you think you can change into that race? That’s very unhealthy, very damaging to their self image, and entirely unacceptable.

And the few non-white RCTA people are dealing with either internalized racism or are being just as racist as the white ones against a culture that isn’t their own.

And because these are things that originate entirely online, transrace has its own similar but slightly different ‘community.’ Equally problematic, but, in my limited online experience with both circles, seemingly made up of more young adults and definitely connected to MOGAI.
