Growing up female means your Halloween costume options change from princess to cat suit.

Growing up female is feeling so ashamed in the woman’s hygiene aisle because you are so ashamed of what your body is doing.

Growing up female is your mom sitting with you in the bathroom teaching you how to use a pad.

Growing up female is never having your own last name.

i know this a repost and is going around but i just see this as a perfect example of the way queer/trans ideology is constantly filling up the cracks in the walls where female people can see the light shining through. i haven’t checked if op is male or female and it doesn’t really matter - male-serving rhetoric serves males, no matter who produced it.

a thought exercise i used sometimes when i was still actively arguing online with libfems was this: what if donald trump, tomorrow, came out as a trans woman? would you genuinely be able to say that male privilege had nothing to do with her social position? and every time i used it, the person i was arguing with didn’t really know what to say, and was obviously pretty troubled by it.

this piece of bullshit stops that moment of confusion and replaces it with a feedback loop intimately familiar to those of us who survived the conditioning of queer rhetoric. this is an absolutely brilliant piece of propaganda and makes total sense within the queer paradigm. if trans women were always women (with women’s brains/hearts/souls/whatever), if being a closeted trans woman who everyone sees and treats as a man is truly endless torture with no benefit, this is a logical assertion.

with this piece of propaganda (sorry, “hot take”), there truly would be no difference between a female person who lived as a man, risking discovery, rape, murder to access the conditional benefits as being seen as the man and/or enjoy dressing and presenting herself as she pleased and loving who she loved and donald trump coming out as a trans woman at 72 years old and president of the united states.

if you question that? if you want to think further into that? if you want to start drawing comparisons? if you want to start picking that apart? you are directly contributing to transmisogyny, the most powerful bigoted force in the world, which targets the most vulnerable, in pain people on earth who are dying by murder and suicide every single day because of it.  as op said, that is the ONLY reason you would disagree.

They said shit like "gender is a social construct!" and "the patriarchy is bad!", but then obsessed over their gender and refused to equate men with the patriarchy. Yes the patriarchy is bad, but you don't blame the people who actively hold it up. Yes gender isn't real, but you continue to identify with it and obsess over being masculine/feminine/non-binary.

I saw a post on here that said something like "why would you want to fuck around and have fun with a concept that's harming and oppressing people?" in relation to gender, and I think that's something a lot of new queers need to hear. Why is it more normalised to hate yourself to the point of choosing between surgery or suicide than learning to accept yourself as a gender nonconforming homosexual?

Most of the ftms I've seen on tiktok aren't even gender nonconforming, it's just teenage girls who want to be humanised. They'll call themselves transboys but do nothing to change their appearance or look like a man. They'll be victims of misogyny but choose to call it transphobia to make their experience seem more exclusive and personal, because they can't acknowledge that suffering on the basis of their sex is something all females go through.
