"social media keeps you confined to your echo chamber" i WISH it did i wish all platforms i am on were keeping me in this perfect echo chamber where i only see the opinions of other communist transfeminists and youtube was constantly recommending me videos about how awesome HRT is instead theyre all working together to try to turn me into a fascist
Oh look, just as fast and dirty as any other April 1st gag bit. Matt, Staff, Automattic, etc, FIX YOUR HEARTS. And do some work on the real problem on here.
WE DID NOT CALLS YOU A SLUR. SMÉAGOL CAN RECLAIMS IT
the way how you losers use second hand dysphoria as an excuse to genuinely be nasty over other trans people and their autonomy is disgusting and it's something you gotta suck up and learn to not do. you cannot act like everything and everyone should accommodate your comfortability because that's a slippery slope into reactionary thinking and also I'm sure other people don't like being told their bodies make you feel bad. grow up.
A recent post breached containment so I think it's time for some rent lowering:
Trans children should have the right to undergo the correct puberty at the same time as their peers.
Puberty blockers were only ever a compromise and should not be seen as the end goal of trans advocacy.
can catholics start feeling guilty about all the antisemitism and genocide and forced conversions and colonialism and the ratlines instead of whatever stupid bullshit "catholic guilt" currently means?
So many people who get periods are like “Ugh it sucks that having a menstrual cycle makes you almost die every month” like no that’s not normal you need to go to the doctor

transition will make you happy in a way that nobody could possibly warn you about. it will never sound nearly as wonderful as it feels. there are just no words
TME people really do throw out the tactical ''bro' on purpose in online arguments. Like they're setting a trap and they win either way. I don't think it's always a cognitive decision, but they fucking know somewhere that's what they're doing. The options for the doll are to either take the punitive misgendering, or object and get made out as the crazy, angry tranny cuz they have plausible deniability.
Trans women truly are at the intersection of trans ness and womanhood, like this is the same fucking playbook every anti feminist man-on-the-street video has used for the last 15 years at least: say something inflammatory but plausibly deniable in a calm tone, get the woman to call you on your bullshit, and say "woahhh calm down I'm just asking questions." Then everyone who is feminist-in-name-only gets to go "I'm a feminist/I don't even agree with this guy/etc. , but this woman is CRAZY," and bam, the provoked is sold as the provocateur. It's the same exact shit my drunk of a mother did to me as a teen--it's the double bind, you react, you lose, you don't react, you lose.
And like the thing is, I do believe people when they say they bro people all the time. I call people "girl" all the time, like ill refer to my cishet dude friends as girl, like "girlllll why did I say yes to this..." But like if I were experiencing 'good-faith' conflict with one of them, I wouldn't be calling them that, not even cuz it would be "misgendering," but because it would feel like talking down to them and showing them a lack of respect, like I wouldn't be calling them 'bro' in that moment either. So like, when you're having a conflict with a tranny, you get to talk down to her, show her you don't fucking respect her, and misgender her, AND you get to do it consequence free. All that's missing is coffee and a blowjob.
Idk, it just frustrates me to no end that so many fuckin "queer, fuck terfs, trans women are women types" are so stoked that they have acceptable targets to bully and push around like they just got a Daily Wire gig.
