Almost immediately after the last post this is an anon ask I've gotten and here's my reply. If you would like you can check out @wallstermelon 's post on her blog. Since I have apparently been blocked by her I can't reblog it. This is in no way meant to dissect everything she wrote. Especially because as a cis person I am not a target of her post. These are just a few things that stood out to me and why I feel it's important to take a stance against the transphobic things she has said (which is what you're calling spreading hate)
I just want to first say that, as of now, I identify as a cis person. And before I say anything else - if a considerable number of a certain section of people told me that something I had said and done has offended them and is discriminatory towards their identity, I would simply apologise instead of arguing that it was not my intention to do so and furthermore it's not what I meant to do, so how they feel is actually wrong and I can't help if my words hurt them.
Here's a small section of her long post that was under a 'read more'

Here's a section of her answer to this anon
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here's two things I am pointing out:
1. As a cis person, wallstermelon has in her statements said multiple times that her words and remarks are not transphobic and/or transmisogynistic.
Now I certainly don't think people cannot or should not defend their statements if they feel they aren't wrong
However when it comes to this, a cis person cannot decide over multiple trans people on what constitutes transphobia and transmisoginy
A cis person does not have higher authority or moral ground on what can be considered as transphobic and transmisogynistic
It is not upto a cis person to decide that a trans person's interpretation or view of someone's gender fetishises transfem/transwomen when there are actually transfem fans of H that have said they have no problem with it
2. She says that her belief that Harry (and Louis) are non-straight are based on things that are substantial to her
Now here's a long post about Harry and gender and here's a post by my friend Asia with a very short and not elaborate answer to the this anon. I encourage you to read them.
But here's a few things that she considers substantial
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Here are a few things trans fans have said about Harry and why it may be an indicator that he is trans
Harry often goes by the name H, a gender neutral short form of his name
How do we know this? From the mouths of the people who are around him/ related to him/friends with him
Has an obsession with pregnancy
How do we know this? From him. The multiple times he has put a balloon under his t-shirt or made a gesture with his hand to indicate pregnancy on himself, the time he said in a concert- we're all trying in reply to a woman talking about her own pregnancy, the time he said if I was pregnant I would do this
I just want to clarify I don't think it is upto a cis person to decide whether a trans person's speculation/thoughts about someone's gender is substantial or baseless. However I do want to point out that wallstermelon has said multiple times that she feels trans people's speculation about H's gender is –
Tumblr media
So when she uses things Harry or people close to him have said and done to believe Harry is non-straight, but when trans people do it to believe Harry is trans/non-binary, it is 'baseless interpretation to stand on and use as fact to speculate about harry's gender'
And this : saying she hasn't mocked trans fans when in fact by mocking trans people who interpreted She as a song about gender, she has ....mocked trans fans
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Saying that the things trans fans interpret to speculate on H's gender is baseless is fucking transphobic actually. Have a good day
