I’m A Materialist Girl

Male socialization is such an evil rhetoric. Yeah I guess not transitioning at the age of 5 is my fault and I'm evil for it. Yeah I guess not having the childhood I wish I did means I'm a danger and I should perpetually apologize for it

”are disabled women bourgeoisie?”

its almost interesting that between all the vitriol that scenario does create a pretty reasonable picture of a transmisogynized live in sex slave who plainly knows its unwanted and is only kept around for its sexual utility as the only thing it can offer. why i or anyone is supposed to hate it and side with the openly resentful person purporting to be its primary caretaker in that situationship is beyond me though

tara knight herself admits that to her accounting the polycule required 14 hours a week of sexual labor from this young woman, even before accounting for dishes and cooking, and managing personal hygeine and relaxation and all of that, i think its clear to say this young woman playing the role of the housewife was forced into even more labor than your average housewife, no wonder she couldnt maintain a job!

It's clear, and i will be honest no small endibtment of polyamory how well knight and friends clearly abused this woman! each of them paying 1/4th what a husband might since they shared the cost, and recieving, or at least expecting to recieve a full wife in return! and with no guarantee they wouldnt toss her to the streets your avergae housewife might have! Think about it, a household of 5 adults, 4 of whom work and the fifth does a clear substantial amount of domestic labor and yet is still browbeaten over the cost of keeping her alive, just to what keep her obedient? i would say so, after all despite all the constant needling tara gives over rent, it's not what gets her tossed to the curb, what gets her tossed to the curb is sneaking away to be with someone else! to escape that all, of course 4 working adults with a woman to do all the womans work could put together 700 dollars a month, are you insane this is hardly a question, the 700 dollars does not exist as a real cost but instead a tally of the weights holding her down Of course the young woman, the heroic puppygirl fucking knows this tara for all her cleverness seems not to notice that she describes it but, the woman is clearly socially aware, when she senses punishment is near she sells her body for a stay of execution, when she wants to leave the house she knows to lie and say she is with one of the 4 housemembers, I commend her for surviving and hope she survives further, and i would like to take her as something of a representation as to how women's place in this world is invisibilized such that you get self proclaimed 'femininist scholars' declaring the abused housewife is a mannish whore for disobeying the family!

scariest thing is when you're a kid in a huge family run by women and then you go over to a house that's deeply patriarchal & misogynistic. i remember when i was 8 years old and i got invited over to my friend's house for a big birthday party with her entire extended family. after the enormous lunch that served over 30 people, i got called into the kitchen to do literally hundreds of dishes, alongside all the other little girls and women. not only were the boys our age all excused from the meal to go play, but all the grown men went to the living room to watch sports together and drink. i couldn't believe it. i asked why some of the grownups were watching TV but the girls had to clean up and all the women just laughed and laughed at me.

as a teenager when i learned the word "sexist" and used it the older women balked at it and tried to convince me this arrangement was a good thing actually because women need space from men, and cleaning in the kitchen after parties is a sacred domain of safety. and i was like actually i think needing private safety from your own husbands, sons, and brothers sounds even worse. like do you understand you somehow made this even more troubling than it already was

like i think it's fine if a bunch of sister-in-laws/wives want time together without their husbands & brothers to talk together in camaraderie. i'm not judging that. obviously. but dare i ask why the women's meetup could only take place while doing manual labor for a nearby room full of men

we're abolishing gender! in the future people will just be referred to as AMAB or AFAB, no need for gender at all! 😀

this is a progressive stance, you see, because AMAB and AFAB are different words from "man" and "woman." we're leaving such outdated concepts behind!

no no no it's not "misgendering you." it doesn't refer to your gender, it refers to the sex you were assigned. that way we don't need gender anymore! you can just throw that old thing away

now there's only two categories: AMABS and AFABS! so much simpler! what? no I didn't say there's only two genders. these aren't genders they're categories. this is progress we're making progress

trans women's breasts are real breasts by the way

breast development seems to be the only thing that anyone even knows our HRT does, and even then they don't seem to process that they are... you know, breasts?

and you know I don't think transfeminists would feel the need to draw the boundaries on TME/TMA quite so tightly as many of us do if some of you weren't just fucking desperate to stretch the definitions so far they become useless. why the fuck else would anyone try to argue that cis people are TMA because they can sometimes be Affected by transmisogyny? your heads are in your asses

you know what a trans woman is. you know who the targets of transmisogyny are. fuck off

sorry you got mistaken for a trans woman once. that must have been so scary, I could never imagine what that must have been like
