You know for the first 18-ish years of your life everyone your age is mostly doing the same things and then all of a sudden every year for the rest of your life somebody your age is getting divorced while somebody else just learned what a leaf is and you have no idea what’s going on or what you’re supposed to be doing

Is the masc-presenting woman/butch/transmasc struggling with internalized misogyny and in need of a girly phase? Or have you been taught that a woman/someone seen as a woman being masculine is a defect that needs to be corrected? Have you been taught that masculinity in women/people seen as women is a sign of trauma? Have you just been falling for weird conversion therapy adjacent bs surrounding how women should present themselves and are too chicken to admit it, so you slap a shitty choice feminist paint on it to keep yourself from asking some hard questions?

"Punishment works!!!" We're drowning in three to four generations of people so pants-shittingly terrified of ever being wrong that half of everyone has constructed a worldview wherein they never even consider the possibility that they could be wrong and the other half behaves like one wrong move will make anything or anyone explode violently into a million irreperable pieces. I don't think it works guys

Why isn't "too scary" a good enough reason to never drive a car

it's so funny to me when people only care about trans men being misgendered when it's to police trans mens identity & language

"you don't experience misogyny if you say you do you're misgendering yourself"

"you can't identify as lesbian if you do you're misgendering yourself"

y'all don't actually give a fuck about trans men you just want to control people in a way that sounds progressive

Radfems and TERFs are always like "I'm a feminist!! That's why I think women are weaker than men and also should never express sexual desire I disagree with and also I hate any expression of femininity in men and masculinity in women and think all men(and anyone I think is a man) are violent monstrous predators that women need to be separated from for their own protection." and it's like. You are a conservative. You are a fucking republican. Oh my god. You wouldn't know feminist if it walked up and punched you right in the face.

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.
