okay, like. i really want trans women as a group to love ourselves and each other enough to avoid letting “why do you hate trans women so much” posts get worded in a way that they can be leveraged against, y’know, the exact trans women the post is meant to support, especially by cis and non-trans-women “signal boosters”
(in general, i regard “why do you hate [group you might be part of] so much” as unduly manipulative language, and i have on many occasions gone out of my way not to reblog posts worded that way. that last particular one was an exception that i had misgivings about even as i reblogged it.)
also this post isn’t about, for example, call-outs toward white trans women by trans women of color, or toward abled trans women by disabled trans women. that should be abundantly clear.
(also i’m not unaware that the “love yourself more” pattern of speech is kind of manipulative in its own right, but tbh i couldn’t think of any other way to bring this up while making it abundantly clear that i don’t fault the people originally writing these posts)
