Statements that are literally TERF rhetoric that I’ve seen inclusionists say

lilycourse:

  • trans people were added in later in the LGBT movement
  • straight trans people can call themselves gay
  • trans men can call themselves lesbians
  • cis lgbp should quit using the word cis in cishet and cis aroace, even though by doing so, you’d implicitly be kicking out trans/nb people
  • aces have a greater right to LGBT spaces than trans people do, because asexuality is a sexuality and trans isn’t
  • defending TERFs from meanies who want them run over by a bus

hey could you provide urls and screenshots so i know who to block? and so i can spread it around so other trans inclusionists know who to block. otherwise this post is completely useless at stopping this behaviour

except for the 1st and 4th points, which i think are misunderstandings. of basic stuff like trans people saying that we had to fight for a letter in the acronym, which is really gross to say that our recent history is terf rhetoric. point 4, trans people are frustrated that some cis people are misusing the word cishet to imply that they don’t also benefit from cis privilege. which is again, really dishonest to say that trans people are using terf rhetoric if you’re cis
