"let women do what they want" y'all can't even handle a dyke saying she hates men

if i was a little kitty and you were a little kitty would you touch noses with me to say hi

rb to touch prevs kitty nose to say hi

"Anyone here smoke weed?/You all need to get laid" has quickly morphed into this website's plausibly deniable version of complaining about those darn SJWs for making people think about things in record time, especially for trans women's posts

also i think it bears repeating that telling a woman “you need to get laid” when she’s complaining about discrimination is unequivocally a misogynist action.

and uh. its uniquely bad to say to a trans woman given the fact that we’re VERY COMMONLY fetishized, exploited, discriminated against, abused by romantic/sexual partners.

this aliceavizandum tweet has never ever ever stopped being true & when you realise this it will turn you into the god damn joker (from the movie joker)

she was also real for having this in her twitter bio

(person who doesn't give money to homeless people because they might spend it on drugs voice) That feeling when you need a little treat to get through another day of adulting

What trans girls hear in conversion therapy lol

Literally nobody is running around demanding that feminine cis dudes transition into women. Literally no one. Nobody is pressuring cis men to live as trans women, but the reverse sure as fuck is true.

Imagine thinking that the second a trans woman throws on a skirt, everybody and their dog trips over themselves to tells her how much of a female girl woman lady she is. Imagine thinking that trans women are so accepted in society that in the rush to correctly gender us that they’re affirming the womanhood of anyone who could potentially be a transfem.

The majority of people can’t wait for the chance to call transfems men, so I highly fucking doubt literal actual cis men are struggling to be labelled as male lol

IMO whats happening here is simple. people see trans women make egg jokes (which are essentially someone saying "haha i used to do that and so did my friends"). however, a trans woman is, in terms of social capital, the worst gender you can have. so to compare someone to a trans woman is the most gendered insult you can throw out. Now, because we want to be ostensibly accepting of trans people, we need another framwork to say its not ok to do this: misgendering. And so the egg joke gets interpreted as actual pressure to transition, complete with wording that sounds like if you asked ChatGPT to write SFW sissification. Which is ridiculous, but makes sense if you want to explain why a trans woman going "hahaha i used to do that when i was repressing" makes you deeply uncomfortable.

local Twitter user comes to “terrifying” realization that someone’s physical appearance does not always indicate their political beliefs

politics as aesthetic is a reliably fascist-enabling mindset. That may seem like a crazy take and obviously nobody's brainwashed for having a style or recognizing others with that style. but listen.

there is a reason why the right wing targets 'diversity' beyond just obvious racism, sexism, bigotry, control issues: the need to know someone else's 'place' ON-SIGHT is CRITICAL to a strict hierarchical society. This is also why they get mad at poor people having nice things, or art from marginalized minorities becoming influential.

The cruise control of seeing only people who look like you and act like you is critical to conservative's emotional goals. At the extreme, a conservative ideal doesn't even have to navigate other real people at all: just archetypes. Which is pretty handy if it's agonizing to contact your real living conditions with your whole authentic self.

Conservative political movements are style over substance: the feelings they solicit from their base are promoted as more important than the actual decision-making that will occur at right-wing hands. Again, a handy tactic when the choices you want to make are abhorrent for everyone but the aristocracy.

Punk and metal scenes-- genres that are famous for anti-authoritarianism-- have to be active in barring fascists from participation. They can't cruise control based on how people fit 'the style.' Meanwhile, the signals that fascists use to identify one another often are aesthetic-based because to state their political beliefs out-loud is (or has been...) punishable.

The warm and fuzzy feelings of safety you get when everyone looks like you are very easily exploitable. I know that we live in an age where everything functions like an advertisement and aesthetics rule all, but by law of demographic sizes alone more queer people and queer allies are going to look like a random middle aged dude than you think. Especially as people born after the AIDS genocide actually make it that far.
