I've Gotta Say, Watching The Creepiest Dudes From My High School Become TIMs Is Dystopian As Fuck.

Yes, gender ideology is the denial of female oppression. TRAs hate admitting this.

one thing i would disagree with guy no. 1 on is that the trans community absolutely does use that language. obvs not every person but a vast majority especially online

when i say ive been in a long process of Unlearning Tumblrism/Tumblr Ideology, it means i'm:

-not putting identity/someone's labels on such a high pedestal over their qualities as a whole human being

-not reflexively being anti american. not making everything political. no not everything is political actually

-not engaging in self-degrading talk

-acknowledging my own faults and working to change for the better, instead of just blaming society for everything

-acknowledging that things are hard but you still have to do them (goes hand in hand with ^ )

-being less critical over stuff that doesnt matter in general

-spending less time with fandom, more time with life

i can’t imagine going through all that schooling and training and being like yeah let’s freeze kids’ puberty based on shaky, unsettled science. let’s treat this one issue differently than every other mental health/medical issue. we’re going to take the feelings of this group of mentally unwell people as medical facts … why!!!

the valedictorian of my high school class is now a doctor and she posts TRA stuff on her instagram all the time. scary shit

holding women to a higher standard is part of my feminism. no, you don’t get to just do whatever you want. time to grow up. take responsibility, stop this ‘i’m just a girl’ shit.

immaturity and selfishness is a problem among men and women right now. that’s the hill i’ll die on

nonbinaries and they/thems who are female and were raised as girls do tend to have the weirdest complexes. they're always like "i hate pink so i must not be a girl" or "i hate painting my nails so i must not be a girl" are you dumb. like genuinely, are you stupid. i went through a phase of 'i wish i was a boy' but it absolutely had nothing to do with superficial things like nail painting and everything to do with "menstruating is kind of scary at first" and "oh shit i really could become pregnant" ..... i feel like almost every woman has gone thru that.

even the straightest men paint their nails now. i feel like its never been more normal for women to go out barefaced, in baggy jeans, and still be....women. so. youre going to have to find some other thing to channel your internalized misogyny through, babes.

“Self harm is cool actually”

Do you think that the trans movement is going to fail and backfire eventually? Also, do you think that it will lead to more homophobia on the general public's part?

yes and yes

it's already backfiring, public opinion is swinging the other way even independent of libsoftiktok-level psychos

the general public is unable to distinguish between the gay community and the trans community, which is something the trans movement leverages for their own legitimacy, so yeah the blowback is a rise in homophobia and misogyny

like the narrative from the trans movement is "we're the front line, the conservatives are gonna go after us and then they're gonna go after women and gay people" when in reality the conservatives don't see a meaningful difference between the groups

leading to stuff like this where legislation is explicitly and intentionally targeting married women and the trans take is "how can i make this about me"

like obviously this legislation is more concerned about controlling the votes of every woman married to a republican voter than a handful of hentai addicts but they're positioning themselves as the canary in the coal mine and everyone is getting sick of it

but of course they're never gonna have to answer for the damage they caused to feminist and gay rights activism because they'll just call everyone terfs and run away

of all 'feminine' things to pick out and feel weird about, its painting your nails and plucking your eyebrows this person points out? really? even women who are super feminine dont do that shit on a regular basis. i cant imagine smoking that gender ideology pack so hard that you reach this point.

lowkey hate the trans movement for making pastel blue and pink together a no-go

an adorable color combination but absolutely do not want to be associated with that shit !!!!!
