#are you people fucking hearing yourselves

[aroacedavestrider]

anyway i was gonna make a big long post about this but its 1:30am and im tired lmao. so has anyone noticed the insane similarities between all this anti-transmasc stuff and the entire aspec exclusionist movement or is that just me on my aroace trans dude shit

like. i dunno. the misconstruing of the concepts of transandromisia and aphobia in general being made out to “oppress other identities”, or just the downplaying / dismissal of our group-specific issues altogether, or insisting that these specific issues are just the results of some broader, equally shitty concept, or saying that we have “privilege” comparable to majority groups (cis men, straight people) despite being excluded / ridiculed / persecuted by those same groups, or the fact that when we talk about these issues were reduced to like “whiny little white teenage uwu tumblr blogger” instead of taken seriously, or that while real people in our communities are getting hurt or killed people are focusing on whether the terms we use are #unproblematic enough instead

idk is that just me? am i hallucinating or am i experiencing the 2018 exclusionist movement all over again except make it #trans

Cannot fucking believe I have to say this but:

butch ≠ big and broad and muscly

femme ≠ waify and delicate and shy

Saw someone refer to Gaza as "one of the most brutal ethnic cleansings in history" and I'm just completely stunned and baffled by the pathological need to characterize it as The Worst Thing That Has Ever Happened, as if it couldn't possibly matter unless it was indeed The Worst, as if their suffering is not good enough to be upset about unless it is The Worst.

It's also profoundly disconcerting how many people have Absolutely Zero historical knowledge or awareness on this front. Occasionally I feel guilty for deciding teaching isn't for me because I know it's needed, but the sheer scale of the need is fucking daunting.

not to be a woman womaning all over the place but i feel like if you genuinely like. do not have friends that are women then you have something to work on. if you cant think of any female characters that you treat the same way you do male characters then you have something to work on. if you cant handle even seeing "i dont like being called a guy/bro/lad/etc because it doesnt feel gender neutral to me" but can understand when one of your masc besties is uncomfortable with being called girlie or sister then you have something to work on. if your default in regards to how you handle other people and even characters is to assume masculinity then you have something to work on. if you cant even let women and otherwise feminine people speak about our experiences without bringing up how you suffer too then you have something to work on.

it doesnt matter if youre queer or a poc or a minority in whatever which way, if you do not include women in your life and cant even stand a fucking inch of genuine feminism (and i dont mean terfs but god is it fucking agonizing that thats all you people can think of when you hear feminism anymore) where the point is to treat women, all women, equally then you have something to work on. listen to women, even the ones whose experiences completely dont align with yours (hell ESPECIALLY the ones whose experiences completely dont align with yours). just like how we all have to check ourselves for racism, ableism, queerphobia, we all have to check ourselves for misogyny too. stop acting like it got solved at some point. it still exists and it exists within you and you have to actually fucking work on that. "women should be included in your life and you should listen to them" shouldnt be a hard goddamn pill to swallow.

Nothing demonstrates the continued Western belief that everything between Moscow and Berlin is politically dead agency-free hunk of meat that exists to be shaped by one master or another than the assholes upon assholes responding to the Eastern criticism of Gorbachev with “But he gave you freedom!”

No, Gunther, he gave you freedom and that was only because he couldn’t keep you any longer. The Soviet republics took their freedom but I suppose that comparison isn’t very conducive to your superiority complex so let’s just press ignore on that, whatevs.

I'm so freaking tired of female beauty standards and the UTTER IDIOCY of people who have the audacity to leave comments under body positivity content that are along the lines of "omg this is disgusting, I could never... But you do you!" like it's a fucking compliment and not absolutely deranged. You're all fucking sick in the head, imposing artificial standards onto others with such viciousness, yet seemingly oblivious to the active harm you're doing.

Interestingly, I've seen the same thing happen in the barefoot shoes discourse, in regards to how natural feet look like. It's shocking how many people are there spamming vomit emojis and confidently saying they'd pick deformed feet over "disgusting" natural feet ????? After seeing that I have no words. If some people consciously deform their body parts because they deem the natural state this unbearably disgusting, there's no hope for accepting body hair. It's genuinely sickening.

Chara unironically did nothing wrong. Y'all are just victim blamers

Nearly all your faves are attempted child murderers AT BEST. Meanwhile sans chose to let a child die repeatedly and then joked about it to their face.

But no the suicidal child who internalised harmful lessons is the real villain

I’m sorry but living in a state like Florida…and seeing people online clutching their pearls because certain people don’t like the “right gay ship”…I hope you all blow up I’m so glad y’all live cushy lives but some of us have real problems to deal with right now in the queer community. And you wanna cry about a ship. I have to laugh right now I really do

i genuinely wish the worst upon EVERYONE who bullied anna cathcart for her crooked teeth (which i personally thought were so adorable!) and are now complaining about her veneers. you're all a bunch of fucking soulless vultures bullying her for her appearance during season 1 of xo, kitty, and for continuing to do so even after she had the procedure done. will nothing ever be enough for you people??

Holy shit thank you so much for your posts. It seems like tumblr is decades behind on its talks about feminism.

I see either:

- Basic feminism posts about the fundamentals of patriarchy and how men benefit from it getting bombarded by people saying the user is terfy (they have somehow never heard of men as a social class and think that every comment about men is bioessentialist)

- Posts with some of the most annoying rebranded notallmen stuff on the planet (I've seen a lot of posts saying women being wary of men is Bad because they're also oppressed! and there are Good Men out there!!)

- Actually extremely bigoted terf posts with some of the most unhinged pseudoscience stuff out there

It depresses me to such a huge extent! Why why why can't women actually call out misogyny? The focus on how white feminist women are bad genuinely reminds me of fucking gamergate. This isn't to say there is not a racism issue basically everywhere and also in feminism and its past and current history, but I always see that phrased used to dismiss women speaking out about misogyny and to coddle men right afterwards with stuff like "cis men we love you!!". Like please.

Sorry for the big rant internet stranger!

tumblr doesnt like feminism because it hasnt grown out of calling all feminists feminazis and its annoying as hell. ive had to explain to people that no, feminism isnt owned by terfs yes its about equality not about treating men as lesser and its fucking insane that people have let it get to the point where terfs have actually fucking managed to taint feminism in peoples minds. literally so many people have gone fucking backwards. even in queer spaces i cannot tell you how many fucking men can NOT go a single fucking second without talking about how actually its okay for them to treat women badly because theyre not attracted to them and seeing women make them dysphoric :((((

its sooooo fucked up. let women speak. hell not even just women just let feminists speak, in general! let the people who actually fucking understand the core points about treating people equally regardless of gender speak up. terfs and racists and bigots do not and should not have say about what counts as feminism because their idea of feminism is inherently inequal. i think honestly as stupid and corny as "what we all have in common is hating women" type statements can be it is very real that once you hate women, the more you disconnect yourself from women, from femininity, in order to hate them and look down upon them, you start fitting in. you start benefitting. (and of course theres nuance to this but its 12am and im not getting into all of that right now). and its not like i understand all the ins and outs, god no! im some 18 year old making feminist posts on my mcyt blog! but its incredible how many people just Miss the basics. completely. gnaws my arms about it

"safequeers" dni btw, you actively make queer spaces unsafe for other queer people. you have no right to claim that you're "safe."
