One manifestation of anti-transmasculinity I see again and again, primarily in discussions about the existence/denial of anti-transmasculinity is the treatment of transmascs in the same way cis men treat feminists as hysterical women and rad/feminists treat men as ignorant beasts. Of course these really just echo each other in that the other is deemed lesser but it's really in the wording.
You do not, can not ever understand misogyny, you are just ignorant sluts vieing for attention, what happened to you wasn't that bad, you're exaggerating, it was just a joke, it doesn't matter, you deserved it, you're being dramatic, who cares, who cares, who cares. Just shut up already.

Something I love about ATLA is that it doesn't force the "forgive the villain" on all the characters. It's been left clear that Ozai is a bad person, and there's no chance of redemption; the only reason he's not dead yet is because Aang is a pacifist
The one episode where a character is supposed to forgive someone who has hurt them in the past is the one where Katara is off to kill a man (which, fair) and Zuko helps. In that episode, even if Aang is telling her to let go, she doesn't forgive him. She never will. But she spares him. Not because she thinks he doesn't deserve death (he does), but because she's not willing to continue the cycle of violence
Killing someone can have a very important impact in your entire being, mostly depending on who you are as a person. Aang would've never recovered from killing Ozai. Katara wouldn't be who she is now, had she taken her revenge on the man that killed her mother
And the best part of it is that Ozai doesn't deserve to die. Not in a "I'm defending him" way (ew), but in a "he deserves worse that than" way
Taking away his bending was the perfect punishment for him. He believed bending made you superior and he never cared enough to train something besides his bending. What a loser. Zuko and Azula wouldn't be restrained by something like that
He's alive. Nobody has forgiven him. Nobody ever will

my honest opinion about the "futa was guilt tripping es and only regrets what he did because hes in pain now" crowd, and by proxy, any criticism on the other prisoners' display of remorse or general attitude around their actions
Didnt feel like copypasting this as a post the screenshots will have to do

Lowkey thinking about Tomura going through the whole de-aging thing like AFO except that he ends up being 5 year old Tenko Shimura with no memories of the future
Tenko Shimura waking up bloody and dirty, his mama nowhere in sight, having no recollection of ever murdering his family
The way he’d cry, bawling, crying out for help, for a hero—
And Deku being there. Deku being careful with Tenko and showing him what his quirk does.
Deku who could teach Tenko how to handle All For One, how to use multiple quirks and be a hero, like how Hana wanted

All Eyes on Him
"Post-Incarceration Syndrome- a syndrome similar to PTSD, meaning that even after serving their official sentences, many people continue to suffer the mental effects."
Before his time as BLU's Courier, Brady was incarcerated for ten+ years in prison after agreeing to take the fall to protect his family.
And being thrust back into society is extremely difficult for ex-inmates that suffer from untreated PTSD. Even grocery shopping quickly becomes overwhelming.
So much has changed. Too many people are looking at him now. And it might always be this way.

OK so to that post that I just reblogged, and the whole "cops don't protect prisoners" thing - yeah. They very much do not.
Their idea of protection is, at best, to throw the person who is in danger into solitary confinement. And then just... leaving them there for indeterminate amounts of time. Days. Weeks. Months. Years.
It is a known fact that solitary confinement can cause extreme psychological damage. That's just one article, but honestly I don't need to go much further back than 2020 to prove my point. Y'all remember having to isolate at home? Imagine if you had to spend that time in your bathroom instead, and you weren't allowed to have access to any technology or contact with another living being. No people, no pets, maybe even no window. Certainly no little gay people in your phone. Imagine having to make sure you don't go insane for days. Weeks. Months. Years.
It's literally psychological torture. It is inhumane. And the justice system calls it "protection." Nothing to stop the countless assaults every day, or the hostage situations, or the murders, or the suicides. But we'll take one of the people involved and stick em in the hole, that'll fix it. /s
I have... a lot of things I want to scream about with this, and I'm not at liberty to discuss most of it. Not my story to tell. Suffice to say the whole system is a goddamn for-profit racket, and exists only as a loophole for legal slavery in the US.
