There are a lot of absolute idiots in the comments saying things like “a good dog will never hurt a baby” and “the child is never to blame if the dog attacks” and “special snowflakes call everything abuse”

Listen here you fucktards: dogs. Are not. Fucking. People. They don’t operate by human logic. They don’t follow human moral codes. It has nothing to do with it being a “good dog“ or not. If you were getting hit and pulled on and punched and scratched constantly, you just might react. A dog can’t speak up and say “hey please stop that you’re hurting me“. What he can do is move, lunge, bite, etc. These actions might intentionally or unintentionally harm your child. Use your fucking head and don’t let your kid beat up on your dog no matter how many times he’s “taken it” before; you never know when he might snap. Don’t teach your kids it’s OK to treat animals like punching bags and they’ll never react. That’s immensely unfair to both the animal and the child. You could have a hurt or dead child and a euthanized dog because you were fucking dumbass who thought the dogs were just there to be treated like toys.

Same goes for cats and any other pet. Teach your child how to properly treat animals or don’t have any fucking animals.

Why TME Ace Exclusionists Are Especially Susceptible To TERF Recruitment Tactics

first of all, check out this (x) post first. it’s required reading.  when you want to indoctrinate someone into an ideology they find repulsive, the first thing you do is introduce them to the themes of that ideology but package it in a way that they’ll accept.  we’ll call the person being groomed to accept TERF ideology the��“mark”. con man terminology seems fitting. 

If you want to turn them against a group they currently want to protect (we’ll call this group A), then you need to first introduce them to all the arguments you’ll use to demonize group A in a setting where they’ll be open to accepting these arguments.  the easiest way to do this is to use these same arguments and tactics to demonize another group that your mark feels neutral/volatile toward, and we’ll call this group B. keep the tactics the same, keep your means of propaganda the same- but pick an acceptable target. a target that won’t make your mark feel a defensive gut reaction like they would if you attacked group A off the bat.  as long as you convince your mark that your reasons for despising group B are valid, then if you play your cards right and indoctrinate them deeply enough into hating group B, they’ll be far more open to accepting your ideology when you say that group A is evil for the same reasons as group B. this is propaganda, cult mentality, and scapegoating 101.  but the most important factor in this is making sure all of your arguments used against group B are nearly identical to those used against group A. You slowly get your mark to recognize these arguments as totally logical and valid reasons to despise a group of people, so that when you reveal that group A supposedly shares those traits with group B, your mark won’t be able to claim that your hatred of group A is wrong without also admitting their hatred of group B was also wrong. and at this point, your mark will be so deeply entrenched in a hatred for group B that their pride and anger won’t allow them to admit that their hatred isn’t grounded in logic.  they’ll declare group A to be their enemy sooner than they’ll swallow their pride and admit they were wrong to hate group B.  this is why TERF’s are almost exclusively ace exclusionists, and why there’s screenshots floating around of TERFs admitting that ace exclusionism helped them “realize” that TERF ideology was “right”.  “WORDS MEAN DIFFERENT THINGS WHEN YOU CHANGE THEM, SO IT DOESN’T MATTER IF ACE EXCLUSIONIST RHETORIC READS JUST LIKE TERF RHETORIC BUT WITH 'TRANSGENDER’ SWITCHED WITH 'ASEXUAL’!” The fact that TERFs and acephobes used the same arguments couldn’t be more relevant, because you’re being groomed to accept these arguments as being logical so that you’ll be susceptible to recruitment when you see the same argumentative points coming from TERFs. 

“All the studies claiming they face housing discrimination and sexual assault for their identity are fake, they’ve been debunked!” “They only reason ANY LGBT organization acknowledges them is because they feel THREATENED by them!” “They’re our oppressor, and any violence they face is only because society associates them with us! So it’s their own fault for having a fetish for pretending to be oppressed! What few assaults happen would stop if they just dropped the facade and admitted they’re privileged.” “They’re ‘educaiting’ MINORS about their bullshit labels. They’re trying to get CHILDREN involved in their weird oppression fetish, am I the only one who finds that really predatory?” “The fact they’re so obsessed with entering our spaces when we feel unsafe around them literally proves that they’re no different from any other member of our oppressor lmao” if i hear “That peer-reviewed nation wide study was debunked in three paragraphs by a 16 yr old on tumblr! so those victims of oppression don’t actually exist” one more fucking time. remember that time discourseprincesa, a cis girl, called for the deaths of a handful of specific trans women who’d pointed out these similarities while acephobes defended her doing so and cheered her on. yeah someone reblog this with screenshots of one of the “Yeah, acephobia led me into radical feminism” incidents. acephobes. you’re literally being desensitized to TERF talking points. trans women keep warning you, TERFs keep making ace exclusionist blogs to try and convert you. TERF methods are inherently wrong whether they’re used against trans women or asexuals, because these methods are literally designed specifically to discredit an oppressed group so that violence against them isn’t taken seriously. little TERFs in training. TERFlets.

My dear cis lgb+ kids, 

Some ideas get painted as “feminist” but are in fact deeply transphobic. 

Some people call themselves “feminist” but are in fact deeply transphobic. 

If a trans woman is sceptical of feminism because of that, that is fully okay. 

And if you’re cis and your only response to that is to blame the trans woman, then sorry, but that’s transphobic, too. 

If you instantly jump at her with a “But the true definition of feminism is…” or “But real feminists…”, then you are belittling trans women. 

If you truly believe that feminism is for all women, then listen to all women. Don’t instantly shoot criticism down with the accusation that they “just don’t understand” feminism. 

They do - they just see problems that you don’t see.

With all my love, 

Your Tumblr Mom 

PS: As this is written more harshly than my usual posts and some of you are very young, I want to add that I don’t mean to say that you are all guilty of that - it’s simply something to think about, a little reminder to think about your own behavior and change it, if necessary.
