It is deeply, deeply beneficial to TERFs if the only characteristic of TERF ideology you will recognize as wrong, harmful, or problematic is "they hate trans women".

TERF ideology is an expansive network of extremely toxic ideas, and the more of them we accept and normalize, the easier it becomes for them to fly under the radar and recruit new TERFs. The closer they get to turning the tide against all trans people, trans women included.

Case in point: In 2014-2015, I fell headlong into radical feminism. I did not know it was called radical feminism at the time, but I also didn't know what was wrong with radical feminism in the first place. I didn't see a problem with it.

I was a year deep into this shit when people I had been following, listening to, and looking up to finally said they didn't think trans women were women. It was only then that I unfollowed those people, specifically; but I continued to follow other TERFs-who-didn't-say-they-were-TERFs. I continued ingesting and spreading their ideas- for years after.

If TERFs "only target trans women" and "only want trans women gone", if that's the one and only problem with their ideology and if that's the only way we'll define them, we will inevitably miss a vast majority of the quiet beliefs that support their much louder hatred of trans women.

As another example: the trans community stood relatively united when TERFs and conservatives targeted our right to use the correct restroom, citing the "dangers" of trans women sharing space with cis women. But when they began targeting Lost Little Girls and Confused Lesbians and trotting detransitioners out to raise a panic about trans men, virtually the only people speaking up about it were other transmascs. Now we see a rash of anti-trans healthcare bills being passed in the US, and they're hurting every single one of us.

When you refuse to call a TERF a TERF just because they didn't specifically say they hate trans women, when you refuse to think critically about a TERF belief just because it's not directly related to trans women, you are actively helping TERFs spread their influence and build credibility.

I'm not like Mad at anyone who does this and I'm obviously not in charge of how anyone else tags shit on their own blogs, whatever, but it's always bummed me out when my sex Ed posts get reblogged and tagged with 18+, minors dni, etc. personally I actually very much want teenagers to learn about their bodies and safer sex but I guess I'm just the guy who wrote the thing.

Some alternate dads from yesterday's page of The Prettiest Platypus I liked all the options, but I feel what I went with was the best pick

"How can you be against therapy when some people don't have friends" "some people really depend on psychiatric medication" "psychiatric incarceration kept me/a loved one alive and im grateful"

Yeah and some people go to fucking prison for three hots and a cot. I am capable of understanding where that choice comes from without going "well of course I'm an abolitionist but prisons do feed and house people, so let's dial back the criticism ok?"

remembering the time i drunkenly told a stranger i was a trans man and he started going off about alpha sigma and beta males and how each one was equally important no matter what anyone says and that i shouldn't feel pressured to be a strong alpha male because emotionally intelligent beta males were just as important

That fact that none of my seventeen (17) followers have interacted with this post is not helping my self-esteem.

Stuck in a weird tension in which on the one hand, I feel weird about having such a high percentage of my blog being reblogs of other peoples' stuff with no significant additions on my part, and on the other hand, whenever I put effort into a post that I think is really good no one reblogs it and it gets 2 or 3 likes. Please tell me it's not just me

people thinking that all afab nonbinary people are inherently moving towards masculinity and all amab nonbinary people are inherently moving towards femininity.

this is exorsexism.

this idea is often used to justify using the terms transmasculine and transfeminine in some kind of universally applicable way, but it's based on a gross oversimplification of the gender spectrum as a slider between male and female/masculine and feminine.

there is an infinite number of directions for an amab nonbinary person to go in. femininity is not the only one just because the gender binary says so. they could transition into an in between space, considering themself androgynous rather than masc or fem. they could transition into neutrality. they could transition into nonbinary masculinity. they could transition out of gender altogether. they could transition into a gender that has no ties to the binary. they could transition into fluidity. they could transition into an infinite number of things. the same is true for an afab nonbinary person.

take xenogenders for example. if an afab nonbinary person identifies as a specific xenogender, they'd be considered more masculine than before, but if an amab nonbinary person identified as the exact same gender, they'd be considered to be more feminine than before, even though most xenogenders aren't inherently masculine or feminine. not all nonbinary genders consist of a balance of masculinity and femininity.

when i came out, i didn't move towards the opposite of my AGAB by virtue of moving away from my AGAB. i am now equally far away from both.

the gender spectrum is not linear.

one of the worst trends on this website was whenever a video of blokes having a laff went around people would be like "THIS is what people should mean by boys will be boys! END TOXIC MASCULINITY" and shit like that thereby bringing some insanely weird gendering into just the act of hanging out and goofing around.

EXCUSE YOU, VEL FUCKED HER GIRLFRIEND SO HARD SHE DIED

ROUND 3: PART 2

Propaganda under cut

Velverosa (Mage & Demon Queen)

● N/A

Falin Touden/Red Dragon (Dungeon Meshi)

● Falin gets eaten by a dragon, resurrected with dark magic by her elf girlfriend, transformed into a dragon chimera by another elf, killed and eaten by her party (they do it to help her), and resurrected (again). Like the main character is probably technically Laios (her brother), but the most important character is her. She's like if the damsel in distress was an autistic gay dragon

How long ago was it since everyone was throwing a fit at the words enbyphobia and exorsexism?

Because everyone complaining about transandrophobia is using the same tactics.
