i don't believe for one instant that this ask is in good faith but i'll answer to educate those who do want to learn and not fall for white supremacy tactics in the future.

transandrobros believe that transandrophobia is real. it isn't real. men are not oppressed for being men. trans men are oppressed for being trans. transandrobros want to cling to bioessentialism and terf rhetoric so they can paint themselves as victims when they are actually a part of the dominant oppressive class.

the same tactic is used when people say you can be 'racist' against white people. you literally can't. the worldwide systemic power of antiblackness doesn't have a mirror of systemic "anti-whiteness", it simply doesn't work that way.

The kid was picked up by an ambulance 30 minutes later.

Now as an adult working in security I get SO MANY folks- upper-middle aged mostly- coming to me to 'rat out' people they think are faking it.

I was once sent into a bathroom because a client demanded that the "fucker won't get out, so good drag them out"- I was NEVER going to do that, so I did a wellness check instead. You know who it was? A person recently released from the hospital after a car accident. They had a hole in their skull and major hearing loss. They couldn't answer the owner because they couldn't HEAR the owner.

Another time about a homeless man who got around town by kicking the ground from his wheelchair. "You know he doesn't actually need that thing, his legs work fine, it's just for pity points"- Oh, so he's not paralyzed, his wheelchair is performative? Funny story Dale, I actually know that guy, he was backed over by a truck and has chronic pain from his shattered pelvis. But sure, let's make him stand up and walk everywhere so nobody feels too bad for him and tries to help him or something.

"She doesn't need that scooter, I've seen her get out of it."

"Look how fat he is, because he just rides around and refuses to get up."

"She doesn't really need that cane- she comes here without it all the time"
