Omar El Akkad: 'One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This'

i am going to tell you all about her so you can join my club

let’s groove tonight, share the spice of life

the use of homeswitcher samples on soundcloud is reaching critical mass I fear

transandrophobia guy who goes from using mra talking points about the dangers of misandry to a crypto terf who rants about "sex based oppression" sounds too comically on the nose to be real and yet...

tumblr ocd advice is kind of astounding bc youll see posts like "OCD LIFE HACK!!!!! if you have [obsession] try [compulsion]" and people are passing it around like its genuine advice and not literally the worst possible thing you could do in that scenario

on a more serious note, I fucking hate how everytime I try to talk about the fact that transmascs are particularly vulnerable to radicalization efforts by terfs (which yes, does often result in at least partial detransition) people interpret it as if I'm celebrating that fact. believe it or not I actually think its a pretty insidious threat to our community, and I don't know how you expect to combat it without being honest about the part regressive rhetoric and bad actors play in all this

saying trans men are gonna detransiton into terfs is an interesting take ill give you that

bold of you to assume they have to detransition to be a terf

I deliberately cropped the screenshot because I didn't feel like making anyone read transmisogynistic garbage (if you look closely you'll notice I intentionally left some text cutoff at the bottom to show there was more context)

a bunch of trans mascs for some reason: "terfs hate all trans people equally! their rhetoric definitely doesn't cast trans fems as uniquely predatory and scary"

actual terfs:

we live in a world where marriage as an institution exists and is unavoidably ingrained into almost every aspect of life politically, socially, and economically however when you talk about 'romanticizing problematic power dynamics in a way that harms people' the poster child for that is erotica that involves sensitive subject matters. it's crazy because over the past year and change i've been privy to the romantic expectations of hundreds if not thousands of people and let me tell you, middle to upper class men just still straight up think of women as either household servants, brood mares, or both. whatever sort of sexual degeneracy you think is being normalized in society because of triggering erotica is an absolute drop in the bucket compared to the fact that the current standards and norms of romance and sex are barely one degree of separation from what they were when women were explicitly considered property. sorry guys the bottom up approach of attacking horny fiction for being too morally degenerate never has and never will do anything to reduce sexual violence or spousal/partner abuse

Oh she gets it
