my godmum who actively supports jk rowling on facebook bringing up radical feminism as an excuse for transphobia: i just think if we're speaking BIOLOGICALLY-

me who did my a-level coursework on the oppression of women and now has a bank of information about simone de beauvoir: im about to rock your world

#basically my godmum is your stereotypically thick local who thinks intellectual debating = who can speak the loudest #lucky for you babygirl i did dance for 7 years and now i waitress and my mum has undiagnosed anger issues! lets tussle!#her: BIOLOGICALLY-#me very calmly: the very basis of feminism was to elevate women from just being lessened to their biology feminists have been fighting #biological essentialism for CENTURIES now i mean just look at simone de beauviour's theories like if you think this is radical feminism #to fight against very old feminist theories and shit on trans people then i PROMISE you there is nothing radical about that #saying all this knowing full well my godmum short circuits at any form of calm-speaking-well-sourced-debate and has no fucking clue #who simone de beauvoir is #my mum does though bc she did a LOT of her studies around feminism and she literally went 🤭🤭🤭#which i thought was progress bc usually it's my MUM i have these little run-ins with #although when my godmum left me and my mum were stood in the kitchen and my sister was upstairs but could very much hear #and we were talking about some political thing or another and my mum went #'i wonder what [godmum's name] would think as someone properly gay'#and i missed it at first but then i was like? PROPERLY? and i couldnt be like 'is that a dig at me'#bc im not out to my sister and she defo would've heard from upstairs #but i was like oh okay we're back to this now that solidarity was fun while it lasted ig #anyway this is all to say i had to sit there while my lesbian godmum tried (and failed) to be transphobic #all the while my ally sister got all passionate and pro-trans even though i know full well she's actually worse than my mum #and it's always me having to argue with BOTH of them AT THE SAME TIME about any sort of gay topic #bc my sister in particular CANNOT behave herself and seems to think it's quirky to have niche opinions #even though 'making life difficult for trans people' is not at all niche or radical #it was so frustrating bc i was like yeah im grateful we're on the same side against my godmum rn but i KNOW how full of shit you are #it was moreso like she was doing it to be politically correct and i was like yeah but in the safety of your home when you think #you can just say anything you do NOT have this energy lmao #just annoying especially being closeted and just having to take it #at least i embarrassed my godmum lol got her stuttering and shit by the end <333
