TERFS: “men can never be sexually assaulted. they’re inherently evil (bc i said so) and therefore always the perpetrator (also bc i said so).”
those same TERFs when a straight transfem or a gay transmasc exists: “OH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS!!! we NEED to protect the POOR INNOCENT MEN from these EVIL PREDATORS IMMEDIATELY!!!!! it’s ASSAULT!!! YOU’RE SEXUALLY ASSAULTING MEN BY EXISTING!!!!! KYS!!!”

TERFs are never and can never be allies to intersex people by the way

Sorry sweaties, we're not bringing "men are a monolithic class" and "all men oppress all women" into 2024. Move the fuck on. Read some feminist theory other than radical feminism. Read feminist theory by women of color. By religious women. By trans people.
expand your fucking mind.

I'm going to say it again:
"Men are dangerous" is 100% patriarchal rhetoric.
The patriarchy does everything it can to train men to be dangerous. It creates a toxic version of masculinity that only profits and privileges men who choose to be dangerous. It does everything it can to put men into positions where they can be dangerous.
Which means that danger is artificially constructed.
Men are not dangerous because they're male. Men are not dangerous because they're masculine. Masculinity and manhood are not dangerous things.
The dangerous version of masculinity sold by the patriarchy is a social construct that can, in fact, be opted out of. Men and masculine people can construct a masculinity that is not toxic, that does not promote violence, that is centered around healthy relationships and communication and helping others.
Building a healthy, vibrant vision of masculinity is absolutely a part of feminism. I'm not saying it needs to be done by women - do not twist this into a claim that I'm attempting to burden women with remaking masculinity. Men can be feminists. Men who are feminists are eager and willing and actively taking part in the act of ripping masculinity away from the patriarchy and reforming it into something new.

If you’d actually listen to trans men, you’d know every single one of us has said “transandrophobia is a mix of misogyny and transphobia”. We’ve been saying it from the start. We are fully aware it involves misogyny!!!
It’s medical misogyny and medical sexism, it’s social misogyny and sexism, etc etc.
But that’s not all!
Transandrophobia also involves how much society hates it when afab people act masculine. Butch women deal with this all the time. Little kids labeled as tomboys deal with it. Society really hates masculine afab people.
But wait, there’s more!
Transandrophobia ALSO involves how much society hates men who are men in the “wrong way”.
And one more thing!
Transandrophobia ALSO involves homophobia, because whether the trans man is straight or not, society views him as a woman. That means he’s treated as either a lesbian (though some trans men do identify as lesbians), or a straight woman, either way erasing his true identity.
And all of that is transandrophobia.
It’s not just transphobia. It’s not just misogyny. It’s not just those things separately. It is an interaction of those things that cause transmasc people to be uniquely abused by society - and a lot of that abuse is invisible, or shoved under “just misogyny” or “just transphobia”. But it’s not.
And - importantly - it does not imply that transmascs are “more oppressed” that other trans people, or that other trans people “oppress” trans men. That’s not how intersectionality works.

There is no possible reality where this is in any way capable of being passed off as self-defense. It was never self-defense. It is, and always has been, a genocide.
Crying babies. Crying babies. This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, meant to draw out and kill civilians while also making it far more difficult to locate and aid children who are trapped or alone.
If you have money to spare, please consider donating to some of the fundraisers on Operation Olive Branch to help people escape this genocide.
End the occupation. Free Palestine.

All this about not getting to see John Lennon on twitter but I think the real tragedy is that Freddie Mercury never had an instagram
