There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing toxic masculinity feeling so threatened by our femininity. More so that self imposed look of devastation some lesser insecure TERFy women give us out of spite and jealousy. It takes the wind out of their attempts to invalidate us as trans women.
Fillmydidi sounds like a real assclown who is beneath me. Nowonder they don’t show their face in their pic but I see who they are and it’s earned them a spot on my Other Trans I Block list.
It’s really what it’s all about isn’t it? Trans people disturb the ‘natural order’ bullshit patriarchy is based on. Trans women are ‘lowering their status’ and thus MUST be insane, and trans men are ‘cheaters’ trying to gain an higher spot in their made up hierarchy.
Also, patriarchal anxiety about “losing valuable merchandise” when a trans man medically transitions. It’s particularly telling that most fearmongering around HRT is around AFAB teenagers’ bodies & desirability, as if their only value is in potential sexual “usefulness” to adult cis men.
Why they making speeches openly fantasizing about “caressing” teenagers????? If it was a cishetero man saying that he’d have been booed out of the room and put on some kind of watchlist!
It’s framed as a lost potential sexual opportunity for the trans man’s hypothetical future sexual partners instead of genuine concern about the guy’s own happiness.
It’s especially repulsive when terven lesbians do it, because you think as “feminists” they’d know better, but the “nice” thing about bioessentialism is that it absolves you of responsibility for objectifying teens, b/c Fhee-mayles are biologically incapable of being gross creeps, donchaknow.
Yes! It benefits cis people to seriously think about their genders & how they want to present themselves to the world, because understanding this part of your identity & taking control of it instead of going along with what society/patriarchy/your family says you ought to be is liberating!
It’s good to be a woman, and there are so many different ways to be and express yourself as a woman, whether you’re butch, femme, or somewhere in between or outside! The same with being a man! Masculinity & femininity shouldn’t have to feel like prisons that stifle self-expression!
and that's the exact reason the patriarchy wants to stamp the concept of transfemininity out, because it states that being a woman is desirable over being a man which undermines the entire model built on men being more important than women <3
Think about it: Americans don’t want to pay taxes for “free” health care because “they don’t wanna pay for someone else’s medical care, we don’t care let them fend for themselves”. But yet they care SO MUCH about people changing their gender, like why?!? Stop caring, it’s NOT a real problem.
My dad passed a couple of years ago and my mom was livid when she learned "trans widows" are a thing.
Just kinda funny to me that some of those who accuse us of insulting women by taking on an identity that's not ours insult women by taking on identities that aren't theirs.
Also, that the people who claim to be terrified of being abused by “predators” are themselves engaging in predatory, abusive behavior by obsessively stalking & trying to control their exes post-breakup. Abuse is abuse no matter the gender of the person doing it.
So much of TERF bullshit is based on the absolute lack of humanity they see in women. Trans men are seen by them as women making a futile grasp at a status they can't attain and trans women are perceived as men giving up something so esteemed they they must have some secret motivation behind it.
That secret motivation is then posited to be something like bicycle race trophies or abuse of women (who they *do* value... in the way someone values property)

How dare someone reject the "superior" gender.
Like it’s SOOOOOOOOO EASY to just not care who trans people identify as. I do it all the time, pronouns do not upset me. I don’t care.
