Also without being sneedbrained…
But especially Terf Ideology pointing to all the things I lack compared to cis women and how I don’t and never will experience the same socialisation and misogyny from birth and for my reproductive role and the pain of birth and menstruation… like all that fucks me up and when I hisyorically look at women’s struggles, those were the things at the forefront…
Idk… and then there’s also the conservative angel how how we’re all sex freaks and abominations before God and self castrating mentall ill men etc…
terfs are reactionary conservatives spouting the same misogynistic bs that they claim to be against all in the name of making women a permanent victim class.
they arent actually feminists. if they were they wouldnt stoop to bioessentialist rhetoric and making women out to be these helpless, pure beings or whatever else.
i think this is most obvious in the way they talk about trans men. all that open vitriol they have for trans women is replaced with this incredibly condescending infantilization. “the pure, innocent little girl being tricked by the evil trans ideology into cutting her own womb”, it’s really gross.
Yeah but… aren’t they right… isn’t bio-politics one of the if not the strongest way women have been oppressed, through controlling their female body and especially their womb…
I mean even Engels talks about it… how the reproductive role of the woman under patriarchy and capitalism is the primary form through which they are oppressed.
And we don’t have that.
Same thing for institutional misogyny… we only know it pre-transition through a secondary account… we weren’t raised and oppressed as girls… right? So why would they accept us because we don’t know and can’t know their pain and yet claim to be women too
thats not what i mean by bioessentialism. but yes, reproductive rights and labor are historically things that have oppressed women, but women will not achieve liberation by constantly reinforcing a narrative of victimhood.
the ultimate goal should be the abolition of the social classes of man vs woman. not the reinforcement of a dichotomy that prevents true equality from ever happening.
you can acknowledge the historical and current oppression of women based on their bodies without equating womanhood to being victims of misogyny and patriarchy.
Hmm… I guess so… idk… I’m just afraid of cis women, especially those I know, screaming at me and saying I will never be a woman and can’t ever know the pain of being a woman because I’m born male and I’m especially afraid of my mother and sister saying that and just… I can’t even answer… what are you supposed to say to something like that… cause they’re right… I will never know that pain
I get it, i really do. i have a tumblr blog where i vent stuff like this and attracted like 30+ terf followers with the bs i spout out.
i just try to remember that women are more than their pain. not every woman experiences the same pain either. a poor woman will have much more in common with a poor man than she would with a rich woman in terms of life difficulties
Yeah… that’s true… I just don’t want to here cisf friends of mine suddenly attack me for being trans or always being uneasy around me or only accept me out of pity but socially ostracize me compared to other women and never actually let me be one of them and look at me with disgust or get angry if I ever express experiencing misogyny in the future because I feel like it would be valid for them to just scream at me and tell me that I can never be one of them especially because they’ve known me pretransition and saw how masculine and how much of dudebro I was and because I’m ugly and won’t ever pass either so I’ll also just look like a man to them which makes anger even more right and justifiable cause I’m just a worthless troon
I remind myself that they’re wrong and everyone but me is retarded
Based reaction ngl
idk but same. i’m so unbelievably cucked, i can’t even unironically call myself a woman
I could never dare call myself that… sometimes all this stuff makes me afraid if cisf friends of mine because they will always be more woman than me because I’m a male subhuman fake
Transphobia in trans people is the natural guide that tries to make you a cisf or cism instead of a tranny
I just feed into it more and more
My transphobia mainly comes from r/traaa and r/MtF type sneeds, so as long as I manage not to end up like them I don’t mind being trans.
u kinds just gotta deconstruct as it happens
or u could whip yourself like a nun or something
but the fact u know u have internalised is a good thing and addressing it is a good start
I actually have whipped myself as self punishment in the past lmaooo… maybe that’s not that funny when I think about it
