I Find This Image Rlly Funny Bc Its So Blatantly Tells On Itself Like Whoever Made It Thinks That Marginalised

Gee, I’d like to never have to mention having been AFAB again. If only it weren’t painfully relevant to how laws are applied to me and how the past has shaped me and how transphobes perceive me and

Hey can we talk about the similarities between how this literal actual TERF describes trans men talking about transandrophobia and how the “transandrophobia isn’t real you transmisogynist*” crowd talk about trans men talking about transandrophobia?

“You want to be a man but you don’t want to be treated like a man” is something they both say!

“They want access to women’s/female spaces” is a point we’ve been arguing about for months (and none of them have a good argument for “are you talking about ones for reproductive healthcare cause I shouldn’t have to explain to you why we’re there” or “do you expect a guy who’s spent years in a social group and forming close friendships with the members to be forcibly kicked out the second he comes out as trans and not have that read as transphobic”)

“You’re claiming you’re more oppressed than trans women” is still false when a TERF is claiming we’re saying that but hey, they’re still claiming the same thing about us

“Transandrophobia is just misogyny/(transphobia)” is yet another talking point we’ve seen already

This is exactly the kind of rhetoric that those of us talking about transandrophobia have been fighting against and to see it out of the mouth of a TERF I think should be setting off alarm bells in some of you. Cause some of you have been drinking radfem juice either without knowing it or while convincing yourself that you can make it trans friendly by just including trans women as women and trans men as men, and I hate to be the one to break it to you but all you did was trade out bioessentialism for gender essentialism and both are just as toxic.

I’m not asking anyone to self flagellate over this, but I am asking you, if you find yourself agreeing with the TERF, to take a step back and ask some serious questions about what you’ve been believing about trans men and tbh trans people in general cause I can guarantee y’all have been engaging in transmisogyny and exorsexism too.

*If you characterize this group as consisting entirely of transfems and no one else when there are plenty of self identified TMEs making the same arguments and one notorious guy that stalks the transandrophobia tag to make this exact argument, please just don’t say anything on this post.

Realizing I didn't answer why the context matters-

A white christian swedish man burning the Quran to express his hatred of it is presumably motivated by the desire to maintain the status quo/protest equal treatment of other religions.

An Assyrian man burning a Quran is an expression of defiance. He said- look at me: for over a thousand years you have tried to make people like me be respectful of this book, on pain of death. Now I am in Sweden, where I am free to tell you exactly what I think of this book by setting it on fire, and you can't stop me.

And then Sweden proved him wrong.

Sweden said: actually, no- no matter where you go in this world, you will never be equal to a Muslim.

Salwan Momika, 38, is reported to have been killed in an apartment in Södertälje, Stockholm.

So tumblr just recommended me an "anti-feminist" "men's rights activist" post and like

The message of the post is wonderful, I personally think we should uplift men more, but at the same time it makes me think about how we as a society treat men's rights.

Men's rights are seen as the antithesis to "modern" feminism (we'll get to that later.) Rather than an accompanying movement. Why is it that people believe uplifting one group must come at the cost of putting someone else down? There are not a finite amount of rights to be given, everyone can and should be treated with the respect that they deserve.

You most often see men's rights posts associated with MGTOW or some other sexist, anti-feminist ideology, and because of that, people tend to dismiss any and all men's rights content without thinking. That drives men to feel that their only option for support and validation is accounts that are also constantly putting down women and "modern" feminists.

But the idea of "modern" feminism is laughable at best. MGTOWS will paint this picture of a lazy, ugly, angry woman who is demanding special treatment simply because she has a vagina. Are there people like that who call themselves feminists? Absolutely, but anyone that takes more than a surface dive into the movement with an open mind will see just how far women's rights still have to go.

But blogs like this will still use that picture of the horrible "misandrist modern feminist" to pit people against each other when really what we should be doing is coming together. Historically, feminists have not shied away from issues that also affect men, but you'll also find that many feminists will even focus on issues specific to men.

Men deserve more positivity posts and safe spaces that don't come from blogs that spout misogynistic viewpoints. Men deserve to be uplifted, because so often, we all forget that when it comes to emotional development, they get left by the wayside. Men deserve to be told that they're valuable and good people, because so often this website vilifies them.

But the only way to do that successfully is to remove the stigma around men's rights accounts that they're all MGTOW anti-feminists and the only way to do that, is to make better blogs about men's rights that don't divide us.

Men's rights should work in tandem with women's rights, not against them. Everyone deserves to be respected, and the first step is to respect each other.

can I say something mean. I think the obsession some guys have with """transandrophobia""" is just like, they thought transitioning would magically make gender not a prison. and then they continue to experience gender (which is a prison) and get confused because they stopped being a woman shouldn't it all be better now??? and it's not (because gender is a prison, even if conforming with it gives you privilege over others) but they lack the introspection and awareness to make that connection. so instead they go "no it must be the trans women who are oppressing me"

So many people really really really want Nazism and the Holocaust to not be about Jews.

You know, the argument that saying trans men don’t have male privilege is misgendering is actually really fucking annoying because privilege is not like. Anything intrinsic to who you are. You don’t have it by default as a result of your identity. It’s something you get as a result of the systems in power.

A deeply closeted trans man who has spent every waking moment living as a “cis woman” due to not socially transitioning due to being in an actively dangerous environment that won’t allow him to is still a man. If you argue that he has to have male privilege because he’s a man then you are not basing your theory on reality but on your own imagination. If you argue he isn’t actually a man because he doesn’t have male privilege then you just don’t see trans men as men.

If you equate manhood with access to male privilege then you just don’t see trans men as men. Or, best case scenario and it only applies if you’re a trans man, you’re turning to patriarchy as a source of gender validation when we should be dismantling the patriarchy. For your own sake, you absolutely need to have a concept of what your gender means to you and a source of validation for that gender that exists outside of patriarchy. If misogyny and by extension male privilege dissolves into nothingness tomorrow, what is it that makes you a man? You don’t need to answer that immediately, but you do need to at least think about it.

Wait what happened??? Who detected shame in trfs?? What tf is going down on bluesky?

The T/R/F made a post saying straight women should be banned from BDSM because they don't understand it

another trans woman and self-identified baeddel called it weird

The T/R/F went completely fucking ballistic and started harassing her and telling her and her friends to [redacted]

now other examples of The T/R/F saying straight trans women should [redacted] while also calling them "straggots" are being posted
