More Gross To Love

The curb-cut effect makes streets better and more accessible for everyone, but this is still the result of combating a specific type of ableism in city planning.

This is easily understood by many, that even though a social force may affect many people broadly, it does have a specific target.

So why does this become so difficult to understand when we're talking about transmisogyny?

Transmisogyny can be weaponized against anyone, but as a social force it specifically targets transfeminine people, and thus non-transfems can leverage their position to mitigate the effects of transmisogyny, or indeed, exempt themselves from it.

This is why we have the terms TMA and TME, so that we're able to discuss this phenomenon.

If there's one salient criticism against this terminology, it's that the specific words used can trip up people unfamiliar with the terms; "affected" is pretty broad, and "exempt" is rather particular. This can be remedied by simply providing the definitions for the terms, however.

Pity not the monster whose only communicated goal is to kill you. It doesn't care about understanding you or preserving your life.

And I don't know why there's a stereotype of neurodivergents (for lack of a better word. Fucking hate it) all being monster fuckers.

Like, I can understand, to an extent, that it sucks to have to kill a monster, but either because of it's nature or mere presence is a threat, it has to be done. Kinda like seeing a rapid dog wandering a neighborhood. It sucks you have to shoot it because "aw puppy", but at the same time if you don't, it's only going to make living worse.

Not to mention how this applies to creatures that are either outwardly violent or sentient enough to be malicious. Like OP's stance of "what if we just studied the creature killing us to better understand them" is shared by so many scientist characters that either get killed or get others killed because their need to "understand" outweighed their survival.

The guy with his family in the basement doesn't know he's in a zombie movie. He just knows his family got sick one day and then they got violent. He doesn't know they're "dead" (quibble: zombies in most zombie horror don't actually meet the definition of dead, but that's neither here nor there) and he doesn't know they're incurable. Even if he's genre-savvy and knows that this looks like a zombie movie, he can't just blindly assume all the accompanying tropes apply.

You're making fun of OP for being "the guy in the zombie movie who [endangers the survivors for no reason]", but you're the guy who takes his family out back with a shotgun and paints the walls with their brains at the first sign of sickness because he thinks he's living in a movie, only to find out they would've made a full recovery in two weeks and he's a mass murderer.

1) zombie movie where everyone correctly assumes they're in a zombie movie and immediately does all the stuff the zombie apocalypse preppers like to jerk themselves off about (insufferable)(I think this might be what world war z was, I didn't watch it)

yeah I can't stop thinking about this either, ever since I first read it. There's so much going on. I read the first chapter of this book, and the tension that was so unbearable in it was "main character's uncle dies and main character's father talks about maybe keeping the inheritance from her" - that's the stressful plot point that couldn't be handled.
