Play Anodyne 2

Like, I recently ran into a random post essentially trying to explain their theory is that many of us used 4chan, it altered our brains somehow, and it made us "crazy and delusional". Exact words.

There's just something about that post, because it wasn't just the abelism, it wasn't the classic terf tier stereotype of transfems being 4chan rejects. It was the sheer casualness of it. Other queerunity posters in the comments were telling him he was being insightful.

I honestly can't bring myself to even be that mad because I'm just so stunned. Not just by the sheer ablesim and transmisogyny the sheer casualness of it all - as if it happens all the time.

Because it does! TMRAs especially use the term delusional all the time. They have pages and pages of theory describing the alleged neuroses that make us "wrongfully" hate them, and they're about on par with your standard victorian psychologist in terms of sheer misogyny. I've heard one refer to transfeminism as a "trauma ideology" - and with hardly any pushback from non-transfemisits!

The United Nations recognises it as a form of torture.

It increases suicide risk by 191 times.

45% of patients in psych wards have experienced sexual violence during an admission.

and like. what do you think you're accomplishing by presenting your beliefs within the framework of political regressivism. do you actually believe that, in general, modern problems can be solved by looking to The Past? that the best possible world is one that has been left behind and that we must RETVRN to it?
