Looking Back On It, My Enjoyment Of M/m Fan Fiction Kickstarted The Whole Thing. I Think It’s A Case

If we can all agree to call Robert Prevost by his new chosen name of Leo XIV then we can all call trans people by their chosen names. It’s not hard.

I feel so awful for all the young girls being forced into religion and forced to wear a hijab. imagine being born and being told your whole life that you must cover yourself, must hide your body, because your body is inherently sexual - you are inherently sexual and must be hidden just because you were born a girl.

Getting very sick of trans-identified men making creepy, voyeuristic media about the violence and suffering that women and girls experience at the hands of men.

nonbinaries and they/thems who are female and were raised as girls do tend to have the weirdest complexes. they're always like "i hate pink so i must not be a girl" or "i hate painting my nails so i must not be a girl" are you dumb. like genuinely, are you stupid. i went through a phase of 'i wish i was a boy' but it absolutely had nothing to do with superficial things like nail painting and everything to do with "menstruating is kind of scary at first" and "oh shit i really could become pregnant" ..... i feel like almost every woman has gone thru that.

even the straightest men paint their nails now. i feel like its never been more normal for women to go out barefaced, in baggy jeans, and still be....women. so. youre going to have to find some other thing to channel your internalized misogyny through, babes.

I genuinely cannot believe there are thousands of straight girls calling themselves faggots and pretending to be dudes because they're obsessed with the imaginary dudes that other straight girls made up.

when i say ive been in a long process of Unlearning Tumblrism/Tumblr Ideology, it means i'm:

-not putting identity/someone's labels on such a high pedestal over their qualities as a whole human being

-not reflexively being anti american. not making everything political. no not everything is political actually

-not engaging in self-degrading talk

-acknowledging my own faults and working to change for the better, instead of just blaming society for everything

-acknowledging that things are hard but you still have to do them (goes hand in hand with ^ )

-being less critical over stuff that doesnt matter in general

-spending less time with fandom, more time with life

Do you think that the trans movement is going to fail and backfire eventually? Also, do you think that it will lead to more homophobia on the general public's part?

yes and yes

it's already backfiring, public opinion is swinging the other way even independent of libsoftiktok-level psychos

the general public is unable to distinguish between the gay community and the trans community, which is something the trans movement leverages for their own legitimacy, so yeah the blowback is a rise in homophobia and misogyny

like the narrative from the trans movement is "we're the front line, the conservatives are gonna go after us and then they're gonna go after women and gay people" when in reality the conservatives don't see a meaningful difference between the groups

leading to stuff like this where legislation is explicitly and intentionally targeting married women and the trans take is "how can i make this about me"

like obviously this legislation is more concerned about controlling the votes of every woman married to a republican voter than a handful of hentai addicts but they're positioning themselves as the canary in the coal mine and everyone is getting sick of it

but of course they're never gonna have to answer for the damage they caused to feminist and gay rights activism because they'll just call everyone terfs and run away

This is a female "he/they". I'm so exhausted by seeing these people become convinced that they're "bad at being a girl" when they're literally female.

lmao wtf even these people really do live on a different planet

i simply do not respect 'non binary' people. You worked out that gender stereotypes are bullshit but all you took from it is 'i am a special interesting third thing, unlike all you boring peasants'
