Hot take but if you care about stopping the spread of trans exclusionary rhetoric stop accepting blanket statements about how bad men and “males” are.
Transphobes use dog whistles and code words to spread their BS. When they complain about “males” they’re complaing about cis men and trans women because they see them as one-in-the-same. They’re counting on you to not know the difference, or to overlook their odd phrasing.
What the actual….?? Lady. No. Those are mutually exclusive. No no no no no
She’s a TERF. Logic doesn’t apply to TERFs because they’re stuck on this stupid ass view where they don’t believe trans folks are an actual thing. We’re either 1) evil men trying to horn in on women only spaces 2) confused lesbians 3) non existent attention seekers who never experience “real dysphoria” (tell that to my phantom penis, lady).
Some of these individuals have decided that if identification as trans is all you need to be trans they can all themselves trans (regardless of whether or not that makes any fucking sense or how insensitive and insulting it is) and then shriek about you being a transphobe. Because that makes sense! (I’m not getting into their understanding of identification or being trans because they don’t understand and frankly it makes me want to vomit.)
Next time you see a post on tumblr that’s complaining about men, be wary if they use the word “male” instead of “men” or if they refer to men as “creatures” or any other dehumanizing terms. 90% of the time they’ll be either TERFs, radfems of a different flavor, or something close to it.
“I’m a cis woman who identifies as a trans woman so if you disagree with me you’re -” BLOCKED. Double Dog Blocked. Get this shit outta my face before I throw up.
