Okay last post for the night.
A person recommended on a post to look up the white supremicist concept of ‘the right to comfort’, so I look it up and find that it’s kind of irrelevant to what they were talking about (No actually, thinking wearing a ball gag in public as an exhibitionist kink without making sure everyone there wants to be a part of said experience isn’t related to this) BUT it is relevant to other things. The right to comfort is about people with power (specifically white people in America) disliking conflict. It’s more important to keep the peace than to actually discuss or fight for any of our rights. Everyone should just calm down and be nice, no one can take you seriously if you come across as too mean. It’s about tone policing, dishonesty and silencing of victim’s voices because their experiences make you too uncomfortable to think about.
…
Anyway.
“ teehee, I don’t want to fuck her! That’s all that’s valuable to any discussion regarding gender, sex, and gender based violence” girl get off the crack pipe. Yes, Hunter Schaffer is beautiful, but will never be a woman or understand the intricacies of living and being raised as a woman.

To that anon: I like keeping positive comments to hold. It was sweet and I'm glad you sent it. I hope you find people who you feel free to learn and discourse with freely.
(I haven’t even talked about the homophobia in this fucking thing-)
It GETS me that Whipping Girl is THE book people recommend me to understand Trans feminism and Trans Misogyny. In one breath it’ll bring up how the female body is treated as taboo to the point where the clitoris is viewed as a fucking myth and the next it’ll argue that no oppression happens on the basis of sex. It claims men oppress women because they’re just oh so scared to embrace femininity and if they were allowed to they would embrace women with open arms. It makes homophobic ‘I only see people’s inner essence in their eyes not their genitalia UwU anyone who cares about genitalia during sex is just shallow and phobic’ arguments. I would recommend it to Radfems because every crap tra argument you’ve had comes from this fucking book, but I don’t think it’d change anyone who isn’t already jumping on the concept that males are the biggest victims of patriarchy.
I kind of don’t think Man Identified Females should be in female sports. They are still females, but they’re females who’re on steroids that in any other context would be considered doping.
These kinds of things are always so blatant about what they think womanhood should be- not all of them- but listen to a lot of them for long enough and they’ll say ‘there is a right and wrong way to be a man or woman. It’s something you can be better or worse at based on beauty standards and it’s something possible to fail at.’ It’s so obviously conservative.
… What do people even expect the answer to be when someone rejects them and they ask, ‘why?’ Because the ‘why’s’ going to hurt their feelings no matter what, it doesn’t feel good to not get what you want and all. It always happens too, people rarely go, ‘Will you go out with me?’ ‘Oh, no thank you’ ‘understandable have a nice day’ it’s usually ‘well why won’t you date me?’ What do they want from that? To be told they’re not attractive to the person? That they don’t share a lot of interests? There’s no answer that gets people into that, ‘understandable, have a nice day’ position… Part of me thinks it’s just to justify their anger over the situation. ‘I’m not mad that I was told no- I’m totally fine with being told no- but it’s kind of fucked up to not want to be in a relationship for <Any given reason> isn’t love supposed to be beyond that sort of thing?’
Okay so there are a lot of posts like *Marginalized females stop allying yourself with marginalized males they will be sexist like every other male!’ And it’s true- and I get it- but it also reminds me of our intersection problem. Like, okay, gay males are going to be sexist towards us anyway. Straight females will be homophobic. Black males will be sexist; white women will be racist. So if your alliances are entirely based on ‘who won’t enact violence on me for an unchangeable trait’ you’re kind of shit out of luck unless you’re already in a position of only one kind of marginalization. So you’ve gotta walk this line or ‘calling out inter community bigotry’ and ‘not getting labeled as the person causing problems by bringing up other groups. Even though you’re still part of those groups.
I have preestablished biases and beliefs about the world, I acknowledge that and am willing to adjust with new information shared.
