also like, multiple nontransphobic detransitioners have literally said the exact same stuff i’ve said: that there will never be zero detransitioners, that there need to be more resources for detransitioners and less stigma around detransition, and that the trans community needs to be more supportive of detransitioners. this is not some transmed fallacy this is literally what detransitioners are asking for.
this is like just a fourth of a whole musical medley addressing that you can’t live like the simpsons anymore. harsh :(
another depressing tik tok interaction that proves yet again that transandrophobia and transmisogyny are intertwined. i commented on a post and said that people had started treating me poorly since i started transitioning and that i’d lost friends, and someone commented and said i shouldn’t be mad about that. that i shouldn’t be expecting people to treat me “like a woman”, that i should expect cis women to treat me poorly because there’s just no way they could tell me (a non passing and openly trans man) apart from a cis man, so i should expect them to treat me like a predator, and if i wasn’t okay with that i “shouldn’t be transitioning.” i asked if they thought this was true for trans women who cis women assume are men, and they said yes. they said trans women who don’t pass to cis women should expect to be treated like a predator because of cis women’s trauma with men. and the most horrifying thing is this person was allegedly another trans person.
this is what happens when you convince cis (particularly white) women that everyone is out to get them. it’s not white cis men who are affected. it’s men of color who cis women decide are scary and dangerous. it’s trans women and men who cis women decide are predatory. it’s intersex people who cis women can’t immediately gender and are therefore threatened by. it’s autistic men who cis women decide are aggressive and threatening. this has to stop bc it’s getting people hurt and killed.
Weird peeve time. Calling lab grown gemstones “fake” is stupid because it’s the same shit just not formed naturally. An artificially grown diamond is the same shit as a natural diamond it is the exact same material bro it’s all fuckign carbon
In other, more important news:
It sucks that people are treating the Reddit blackout as a joke or assuming it's impotent rage over a minor decision bc it's Reddit when like. No, a tech company shutting down access to their API by forcing third-party devs to pay completely unreasonable fees ($12,000 per 50 million API requests, which to the largest third party clients would be tens of millions of dollars) and in the process destroying both accessibility apps and moderation tools is Bad Actually
