Under Her Bows

oh she is down DISASTROUSLY

Saddest part about this project is how many of your submissions submit with the voice of someone who doesn't think she deserves to even take up this small space you set aside just for this very purpose.

Sorry but I’m exclusively attracted to afab people. I wasn’t sent to conversion therapy twice as a teenager only to have people on the internet guilt me into trying to like people assigned male just like the Mormon counselors wanted. I will always advocate for trans rights but this kind of rhetoric will only hurt you. You cannot guilt or coerce people into sleeping with you or rather, you can, but you should’t.

This is fucking disgusting. People should not feel ashamed because of their sexualitym you are not entitled to sex. Consent can be revoked at any time for any reason. Shame on you.

"we have sex with genitals not identity" is actually crazy. personally when i have sex im engaging with my partner as a person and not as a disembodied penis or vagina or what have you. but given how y'all treat trans women that's probably a concept you wouldn't understand.

For the record, this bizarre TERF fixation with the idea that trans women want to have sex with them, specifically, regardless of consent should feel very familiar to anyone who's lived in a time/place that treated gay people as intolerable.

Come now darling, you want to get bonked on the head don't you? Good stooges go nyuk nyuk nyuk for mommy.

Terfs speaking about the "only attracted to afabs" thing is annoying because everything they say always has to frame themselves as victims desperately fighting for their survival against the creepy predatory trannies, all the time. Like terfs will see a transfem say "it's rude and bigoted to loudly declare what minorities you aren't attracted to," but this is pretty sensible and it doesn't really fit the narrative about transfems being aggressive predatory men. So instead they'll respond to another imagined take saying that they all MUST date and have sex with transfems. They'll literally respond to something you didn't say and don't believe.

grabs you by the shoulders listen. listen to my words. i understand the urge to make fanfiction about yourself and to find a reality in which you're super awesome and great and everyone who hates you is wrong and dumb. i get it. you're better than that. you can love yourself without putting other people down, dehumanizing and generalizing, and retaliating against your oppressors.
