It hurts to see other guys in these situations where they have to choose personal safety over being themselves. I definitely feel for them, it's an anxiety I'm quite familiar with but it's not nearly to the degree that trans black men and mascs have it. Nobody should ever experience that.

Opening the link I realized somehow an emoji gets added to the end of it and it loads wrong? If you delete the emoji it's fixed but here it is again just in case https://doberbutts.tumblr.com/post/786474070862708736

This is why white led LGBTQ+ discourse of "fems ALWAYS have it worse than mascs" overshadowing EVERY discussion while always ignoring systemic racism is not only short-sighted but dangerous. As soon as someone starts making gender essential blanket statements I know they aren't safe to be around. 🧵

samaburime.bsky.social•4 days ago

At that point it's just white activism. There are too many white people in the LGBTQ+ community who will not hesitate to say all BIPOC mascs or men are privileged over white women and fems, basically giving those white women free reign to perpetuate centuries old racist predatory BIPOC stereotypes💀🧵

samaburime.bsky.social•4 days ago

Take a moment to absorb that black queer transmascs, enbies, and butch cis women are being profiled and snitched on by white cis women who just SEEING the concept of masculinity on any black body are assuming "DANGEROUS" constantly because they read them as male, like what aren't you getting 💀

samaburime.bsky.social•4 days ago

Y'all forget there's an asterisk on "male privilege!*" for Black men who historically western institutions in power have not hesitated to put down like wild animals or project as subhuman & dangerous to white women & kids, which inevitably goes on to put Black ppl who aren't even men in danger.

samaburime.bsky.social•4 days ago

Oh and these takes always ignore the racism Black women have been historically subject to: being categorized as masculine by white people (especially men) as a way to indicate they're ugly and unattractive. Like, just fucking stop with the essentialist bullshit because it harms literally everyone.

I'm a nonblack POC, but the way white queers center white perspectives - yes, even white people who were informed by BIPOC - over the lived experiences of BIPOC is always telling. They often also only cite queer BIPOC who agree with them.

Trans men and mascs who aren't white have our own struggles-

This is why TIRFS and TERFS are only capable of centering white perspectives at the cost of everyone else's! Because black men feel incredibly unsafe around white women FOR A REASON!

rozengermain.bsky.social•1 day ago

"Male privilege" was only ever given to cis white men, and radfems need to hide that! I've known for a while misandry was about hating people of color, because radfems only ever talk about hating black men! They're unshockingly silent about white men!

samaburime.bsky.social•1 day ago

I feel like they also do that to give people a reason to excuse their racism, like some kind of "They're not angels either!" BS. Not to mention they like focusing on countries that have conflict where the whole/majority of the population is non-white so they can claim they're not racist

samaburime.bsky.social•1 day ago

And it's like they don't want to admit like 'hey even if that's happening, it doesn't change the fact that if you go to any place with white people in charge they will not hesitate to gun down literal innocent people, including young boys (children!) you fucking twat! jesus christ.

samaburime.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have seen SO many instances where white radfems will get huffy when people bring up how white women weaponize white men's violence against BIPOC men. Which they either vehemently deny it happened or lean into it completely and be like 'so what if she falsely accused? MEN are the ones who did it!'

rionadaidouji.bsky.social•1 day ago

I feel like even in cases where a black man IS the aggressor, you end up with innocent black men getting targeted because of racist beliefs of "all black men look the same".

Or WW "justifying" their racism with "I was SAed by a black man so now I'm afraid of all black men".

samaburime.bsky.social•1 day ago

It reminds me of the people who over the years use their homonationalism to excuse violence against the middle-east like "But they HATE gay people so it should be okay to carpet bomb the citizens!" Like making war crimes 'WOKE'. "Doing this for all the local gays who will also get hit by bombs!"

rozengermain.bsky.social•1 day ago

That is literally the reason Karen exists! It's because the most common form of false rape accusation is WHITE WOMAN TEARS!!!!

its why intersectional feminism is by far superior in every way

Intersectional feminism, tries to lift everyone up... regardless of race, gender, religous, or cultural identity

but radical feminism.. really does tend to boil down to "only white women deserve attention"

samaburime.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah, it goes to "Misogyny & Sex-based (where TERFS come in) discrimination is the root of all oppression" And then when you mention like, slavery, segregation or apartheid they get super Big Mad. Like that's why it's INTERSECTIONAL babes the world is COMPLICATED & different based on where you are!!

rozengermain.bsky.social•1 day ago

Hell there's far more to suggest the root of all oppression is racism, if you want to suggest a root bigotry!

samaburime.bsky.social•1 day ago

Honestly if you look into it deeply I think a big part of it is simply class as well. In the ages of kings and emperors, when people were more isolated and not sailing across the seas, many times there's a clear hierarchy of authority there. Especially in cases where they were anointed by God(s)

samaburime.bsky.social•1 day ago

But then again that just shows how important being intersectional is. In modern day there are absolutely class issues still inherent in the world; poverty, etc. But the number of times in "White" countries that affluent Black people are treated like poor good for nothings is 🤡

angelicimouto.moe.observer•1 day ago

Things in the world tend to be complicated, complex, and influenced by multiple different sources overlapping causing fucked up shit

Whenever you try and boil down EVERYTHING, to one singular root cause, your gonna get lead astray

rozengermain.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah the only reason I said the closest thing to a root bigotry is racism is mostly because racism is a major factor is so many bigoted motivations and policies! Even I admit there's no real root bigotry either and it all overlaps!

samaburime.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah, it's definitely the most recent root factor. There were always wars and differing factions etc. But the transatlantic slave trade & colonization created a huge restructuring of the world in the past 600 years so that's why it's so damn relevant

rozengermain.bsky.social•1 day ago

And by so many.... it means basically every last one of them.... But that's cause all bigotry overlaps and US culture is founded in racism already!

rozengermain.bsky.social•1 day ago

Even the radfems who aren't white still treat white women as the only ones who matter! It is incredibly inherent to the movement! It is JUST white feminism by another name!

rozengermain.bsky.social•1 day ago

And it's because the OG radfem movements were hijacked to center upper middle class cishet white women, and forced everyone else to split off and make their own movements, eventually creating intersectional feminism!

urchohi.bsky.social•1 day ago

When I was terf-ish and hanged out with them, I often heard an argument that they hate all men of all ethnicities, but just men, and they don't hate women of color, so "radical feminism" can't be considered white feminism
I felt like this is bullshit even back then

samaburime.bsky.social•1 day ago

👆🏼You knew what was up, lol

rozengermain.bsky.social•1 day ago

Yeah I'm not shocked even people who were hanging out with them saw that they were racist! They never talk about cishet white men the same way they talk about minority men! Cishet white men are all but praised by radfems!

urchohi.bsky.social•7 hours ago

Well to be fair the radfems I hanged out with were consistent and really hated all men (they claimed they didn't hate trans men but in fact they did too)
They weren't like current lgb alliance&jro
But their racism, ableism and lookism towards men spreaded to women as well and they refused to notice

rozengermain.bsky.social•6 hours ago

TBH I would say that's just women of color making them go mask off more than it is consistency. They stopped pretending to hate only men when it came to POC, and well, I'd say the radfems you hung out with were just really good at pretending to hate cishet white men.
