hot new tumblr take

[ three paragraphs of blatant radfem politics with a completely meaningless ‘terfs don’t touch’ tacked on at the end as if that lessens the harm ]

*bonus points for “op was a terf so i stole the post” as if the post in question isn’t still dripping w radfem bullshit bc it’s from a terf

it’s eight am so this is going to be slightly incoherent but: the ‘anti terf’ crusade in internet activism circles, while well intentioned, essentially failed when it became a mindless recitation of “fuck terfs,” without any real widespread effort to educate about what radfem politics are and why they’re harmful

which is why you see people, especially lgbt+ kids who haven’t had anything but the barest exposure to radfems, ( which is a good thing! i’m definitely not saying it isn’t. i was a 15 year old gay girl who was manipulated by older radfems, and that’s not a thing i want to ever happen again. ) who do mean well, who do want to cause positive change, somehow entrenched in politics that basically boil down to terf 101: introduction to shitty politics while making yourself look progressive
