efforts towards a "positive vision of masculinity" or whatever are so funny because what these guys are trying to figure out is literally "what's a way of being a good person that's Not For Girls™"

But like genuinely. "humans have an innate need for spirituality" should be pretty transparently a reactionary opinion. It's simply not true and equates something that some people get benefit from with it being a fundamental aspect of being human (and one that is missing it most people today). You gonna start arguing "children *need* fathers or they grow up broken" next?

when people get desperate to deny the transfeminity of a character, they will start employing a definition of "genderfluid" that is mutually exclusive with "trans woman" and then never she/her the character in question. its so blatant that they shouldnt get away with it as much as they do.

hey.. two people were asking about you… so i gave them your address and phone number… their names were Skeletal Warrior and Skeletal Ice Mage

i genuinely try to stay compose and not tweak out over it but it's so discouraging that people only want to interact with us black people and our issues from a 10 ft pole while claiming to be our allies. it's performativity like that that gets us put in danger + drowns our voices out, it's why I keep asking y'all to boost black voices. not just mine, but the black people around you. especially your friends or family.

what little discussion there is about the history of the horror genre monstering trans women that isnt being done by trans women fails to acknowledge that it hasnt really stopped. two years ago we were having the exact same discussions about long legs. the fact that people occasionally, begrudgingly admit silence of the lambs is transmisogyistic doesnt mean much when the genre cant stop pulling the same shit. its evident that we have not reconciled with the way horror does this because it continues to get celebrated when for continuing to do it.

popular culture has not reconciled with the way it treats transfemininity as something to be reviled and feared. It continues to do this.

thats the thing right? the tweet says "reconciled" not "talked about". even if we took for granted that the paltry discussion of the subject deserved more credit than twitter op gives it, she did not say its never been discussed. she is not still technically wrong because conversation on the subject has happened because she did not say that it didnt. in response to "we havent dealth with this", it is a non sequitur to say "it has been talked about." thats not even getting into the the condescension based on age.

Americans are truly the most insecure people on the entire fucking planet. Which is quite impressive given that men exist.

"you believe in real things... yet don't believe in fake things... interesting 🤔"

love when i get harsh pushback from a tme bc i was talking about transmisogyny bc it means i get to be extremely scared and anxious all day

i genuinely don't think tme allies understand how extremely stressful these discussions are for us to have, especially in public

idk if you wanna be a good ally to trans women you should probably consider not picking fights with us where you insist we don't understand misogyny
