hot take but “kill all men” and similar proclamations that all men are evil and inherently bad is not feminist and is only making things worse, pushing men to become like Andrew Tate. it is also removing accountability from men who are actually bad; “you can’t get mad at me, it’s in my nature!”
you are not helping anyone. not yourself, not women, not men. you are just hurting actual good people while the people you are trying to hurt are enabled. you are not turning people away from misogyny, you are pushing them towards it.
hating all men is not cool. it is not feminist. no issue is solved by simply reversing who is being affected.
One of the recurring issues I've seen mentioned by transmasculine sex workers, whilst putting together "Working Guys: A Transmasculine Sex Worker Anthology", is the fear that getting top surgery will result in a huge loss of income and clients.
This fear isn't an irrational one. Straight men are the largest demographic among clients, so being able to work under the guise of being a cis woman can have a big impact on how much money you can make. Top surgery is often the line where that's no longer possible.
If reading about these experiences is something that interests you, the crowdfunding for Working Guys: A Transmasculine Anthology goes live on the 1st of May!

There is so little out there that describes the experiences of trans guys and transmasculine non-binary people doing sex work, which made me feel really alone when I started... which is why this project is really important to me.

WTAF. I spoke about this a few times before. People in many parts of West Asia/many Arab people have been wearing keffiyehs for CENTURIES. They represent many things, and yes -they do symbolize Palestinian resistance and solidarity -and if you have an issue with anyone wearing a keffiyeh in any space you're a genocidal apologist.
This is BEYOND ignorant and IS discrimination. I hope we see a class-action lawsuit that sues the provincial government for doing this/normalizing this because it's ILLEGAL. These politicians (especially the PC's -who were shouting no to overturn it and one of them saying they felt UNSAFE... the audacity) are just racist bigots.

the funniest thing to me rn is seeing transphobic women going into bathrooms in transphobic states and then being shocked that trans men are in there and actually (gasp) look like men?!?! (shocking i know /s)
like you guys forced people to go to the bathrooms of their “biological sex” but now when they do it’s disconcerting that men look like men. (yes even if that man has a vagina.)
Transphobes are shocked to realize trans men aren’t all “uwu soft boiz” and HRT does what it’s supposed to. It’s so mind boggling to them that trans people don’t look like their bigoted characatures.
Anyways here are some men that will be forced to use the women’s restroom in states like florida, texas, kansas, etc.
Edit to add: PLEASE don’t tag this post as “transandrophobia” or any similar terms.
