Nobody said that to her on this post that I can tell, but given that I found myself and my own replies blocked and deleted all I can speak for is my own comments. All I had said (in the tags, so that it wouldn't be permanently appended to the original post, in response to someone else saying that it really isn't fucking comparable to food recalls) was "this post contains good, important information, but can we please just be respectful to folks who are too scared to transition in our current political climate?"

What does the random shot at "TMEs" even accomplish here aside from just attacking people?

Nobody said you had to agree. Nobody said the post was bad. Nobody even—to my knowledge—said that OP or trans femmes generally must have it easy, at least on this post, that she hasn't deleted or blocked. Which would be fair if she did because that is an unfair and unkind thing to say. Why is it so fucking hard for people to just listen to and tolerate other trans people's opinions and experiences right now?

Why is it so hard to comprehend that some of us are not making excuses, that we are scared for our lives, and that you cannot force someone who is afraid for their life (among other valid barriers for entry up to and including financial reasons, medical reasons, not everyone needing E to transition and DIY T being considered A FELONY, etc.) to just get over that so easily?

Oh. Of course. Because OP doesn't think you're even valid as a trans person if you aren't looking to seek out transition at this time. God forbid you have reasons to wait, because those are all just excuses that you could just get over easily if you were A Real Transexual™

Well yeah, chief. People are gonna block you for this one because you're just making mask-off transmedicalist takes now. Borderline transphobic toward other trans mascs even.

GIRL.

The SNW writers seem so determined for ~*~precious baby Christine~*~ to never be capable of any wrongdoing that they constantly contort all logic in her interactions with Spock to force Spock to be framed by the narrative to be in the wrong. OR have Spock feel the need to apologize to her in multiple interactions with her when an apology is either not necessary or required, or if it was it should be done mutually while Christine has never once uttered a word of apology to him! And that would honestly be bad enough and grounds for me to hate her already, but with the release of the most recent episode of SNW, "Through the Lens of time", I am furious, both with this character generally, but also with the way the writers are consistently framing her in almost every episode that she appears in.

Now their beloved throwback-to-TOS-turned-Ensign-Mary-Sue-But-Canon-This-Time literally gets to have some poor ensign killed due to the near constant lack of professionalism they seem to be determined to have as just one of her ~*~cute and quirky~*~ character traits. You will not convince me otherwise, because Gamble never would have picked up that damn prison-ball-light-grenade if not for the fact that Chapel is the one who argued—against literal protocol; again Spock absolutely must just fucking magically be framed as in the wrong about everything when Chapel is around even when it's about Starfleet fucking protocol—that they shouldn't contact the ship when things began to seem dangerous and then picked up that tablet with her bare hands instead of being more careful about her surroundings like she should have been.

Dana Gamble's blood is on Chapel's fucking hands and it just goes completely unacknowledged and she doesn't feel bad about it or even mention once that she is concerned for him before he's dead or feel responsible that he's dead or anything!

DO NOT FUCKING HARASS HIM OR I'M BLOCKING YOU.

But. Like. Look, I know there's a whole post under this, but this is ALREADY such bullshit on the face of it without even reading more. To say nothing for the rest of us who AREN'T binary trans men (Who OP snidely dismisses as saying we Might be effected by Some Problems "nuance exists ig maybe bigender people or something might take the hit I don’t know I haven’t had a chance to ask everyone on earth yet. Thanks"), but binary trans men can't even say they're AS oppressed as other trans people because they're TOO MAN to be mistreated for being wrong men or wrong women (or -GASP- BOTH at the same time?? Unheard of) I guess. They can't even say they get victimized equally as often. Like yeah, maybe they aren't victimized in the Exact Same Ways Every Single Time (even though YES sometimes it IS in the same ways too!) or that people are equally bigoted against us. This is SUCH a bad time to be this divisive by playing these fucking oppression olympics games. We would not have to play these games if people were not TELLING US WE'RE LESSER TRANS PEOPLE and then just expecting us to be okay with that!

How dare you try to dictate whether or not a struggling mother can buy her child the occasional piece of candy to make that child happy? How dare you tell the overworked man he has to give up the energy drinks that are the only thing that gets him through his shift because an equivalent amount of coffee gives him the shits? How dare you tell the diabetic that they can't grab an emergency chocolate bar when they're low on blood sugar and can't get to the store for fruit so they have to settle for what the gas station has in stock? How absolutely DARE YOU tell people what they can and cannot eat under the guise of "MaKiNg AmErIcA hEaLtHy AgAiN"? If you want people to make healthier choices then why don't you make the healthier choices more fucking affordable? Maybe because it has NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT and everything to do with wanting to crush the poor beneath your shitty fucking boot heel. I hope you choke on your next $100 steak or lobster tail you rich son of a bitch, living in a MANSION while your constituents live paycheck to paycheck.
