did they meant to say change genders instead of clothes? im so confused this reads like: Real women just wear the one filth encrusted garment! why do trans women think they’re so much better with their “doing laundry” privilege? i want answers
“Surrender Donald” – Gay activists rally outside Trump Tower in New York, protesting the city’s tax breaks for luxury real estate developers while thousands of people with AIDS sleep in the streets. Oct. 31, 1989
I can’t believe this is still relevant 28 years later.
even with that tax break he probably still paid more in taxes than all of them combined
it’s 28 years later and “homeless AIDS sufferers should have paid more tax” is your first thought. the people at this protest deserved a fucking hell of a lot better. please get help, there are psychologists who can help with empathy issues.
Literally heard a convo at the library where a guy was telling a girl that he’s an omega and the girl telling him that she’s a beta, and my mind just did not automatically connect the context to fraternity pledge classes at all and I just whispered to myself “what the fuck?? What the fuck??”

if ‘female socialisation’ is a horrible, harmful thing for cis women and trans women, wouldn’t ‘male socialisation’ also be harmful for cis men and especially trans women? surely being indoctrinated into gender roles under the patriarchy is bad, even if those gender roles are telling you that you’re (expected to be) good and strong and powerful? because this socialisation is still hurting even cis men, they have problems dealing with emotions and anger issues into adulthood because it was never taught to them as kids.
like i honestly don’t get if TERFs are pro-socialisation or against. They make it very clear that ‘female socialisation’ is a harmful patriarchal system that harms ‘females’ from birth (including of course the trans men they’re misgendering). it’s described very clearly as trauma.
but trans women need to be demonised for undergoing the exact same thing? told we’re as bad as cis men when we’re actively trying to unlearn it? told we benefit from it, as if we’ve been built to be good little patriarchal servants, as if we haven’t had psychological scars from the process. u can’t imagine this socialisation is a good thing for us. u can’t imagine any trans girl wanted it.
so maybe…. stop attacking trans women as if we benefit from our childhoods. and if u really hate ‘female socialisation’, u should probably stand with trans people calling for gender neutral parenting, honestly.
Like when I say sex work is “just a job” I don’t mean that it can’t be traumatic but do you know how many women I know who’ve literally gotten PTSD from workplace treatment in the software development industry.
