#transphobes

What these TERFS are pissed off about is that he showed how disingenuous y'all are when you go "omg that trans athlete hit a ball really hard and it hurt a cis women" because when you look into it cis women even on their team hit harder then them. Because he pointed out that cis girls harm each other in sports all the damn time. He pointed out that when there was a bill to protect cis women athletes against sexual predators like coaches. Y'all decided not to pass that while passing an anti-trans bills all while claiming you just care about protecting women.

Words cannot express how insidious these types of posts are, and how distressing it is to see them become so commonplace. I’ve seen variations of this exact joke at least a hundred times on insta, all with hundreds of likes and shares. I cannot emphasize enough how these types of posts are the exact same as those ai generated videos of angry snap recipients, or made up stories about crazy feminists. This joke is just one of many targeted attempts to do four things: Normalize ableism and make people wary of suicidal people, Further the stereotype of queer people being weak and unstable, further the even more specific stereotype of the “cringe, weak” transmasc or nonbinary person with a weird name, and ultimately divide the community. The kind of things described in this post did happen, but nowhere near as frequently as is described, and mostly during the national mental health crisis of the pandemic. This is cherry picked propaganda, meant to make people say “I’m not like them. I’m normal, I’m strong, i fit in. I can’t be associated with this group.” All in all, as a community we have to be more vigilant against these types of blatant attempts at sowing discord and crush them at inception.

EDIT: the "etc." is for all gender/sex-expansive individuals, since I think there's generally a shared "you're not a REAL (gender/sex) though" mentality pushed towards all of us. Sorry for the confusion lol. Also, I didn't expect this to get so big... I really just was confused because so many of the original replies were freaking out about misogyny. I got my confirmation pretty fast 😭

Scary and stressful couple of days... it might be really difficult for awhile, but I know we're going to get through it ❤️

Transphobes be like
