Wanna know the funniest thing in the world?

The biggest punchline in trans history?

In 'Transsexual Empire', the book used to throttle trans healthcare, Janice Raymond states that trans women failed male socialization.

Modern trans discourse is legitimately to the right of Raymond.

It really is striking how often anti-trans politics and hate movements ultimately center on and draw most of their fuel from transmisogyny specifically

julesprom.bsky.social•124 days ago

theres an element to it where trans women are hypothetically whatever bad thing is needed for their arguement to work, we have to simultaneously be failed masculine men and also hypermasculine violent deviants depending on the method of attack

its the same logic of the enermy outsider group is both weak and cowardly but also strong and devious at the same time

Exactly. And this is just one of the many ways in which transphobia (and especially transmisogyny) is a feature of fascism. It follows the same Us vs. Them logic of Eco's Ur-Fascism.

Looked more into her and she's a massive dumbass

She's a terf and kind of a swerf, and if that wasn't enough she wrote something about how medicine focused around women's fertility is violence against women

... well yes, of course she's a TERF, she wrote 'Transsexual Empire'.
