Forgot to add this onto the last, already too wordy post, but YES trans men should be centered in feminism lmao. This is because the rights of trans men hinge on the rights of women, and we are often excluded and thus affected disproportionately in some areas, for example in healthcare. This is ALSO because the class of “woman” deserve human rights, they deserve rights to self determination, this is what we are all fighting for in feminism, bodily autonomy and equality. You will know if all women achieve even close to that goal when trans men are allowed to exist in peace — this is because one of the rights given to “women” should be the autonomy to choose to not be a woman. The patriarchy can only be dismantled when the class divide is lifted — when you can make an autonomous decision in your gender, rather than hinge it on sex, appearance, and more. If we are forced into boxes this means there is an exploitative reason. This is why TERFs are so stupid — the rights of cis women will ALWAYS depend on the rights of trans women, men, nonbinary, neutral, ALL trans people. And ALL intersex people. And feminism is not complete without dismantling racism. This is because we all inherently challenge a class divide. Harming us means shooting yourself in the foot.
