my tutor asked me if she could ask a question abt queer culture and she was all 'but i dont want to like, burden you with the expectation of explaining things to me, or treat you like a mouthpiece' and i was like omg PLS ask me questions i LOVE being treated as a mouthpiece hahhaha

and then she asked me about terfs and how older feminists may not align with terf values but feel protective of their experiences as afab women when the cultural conversation around feminism and queerness is changing.. and i was like.. oh god, do you have a few hours to spare?

so she asked me to email her resources and information about this topic hahaha

#i did talk abt some things #mostly how the thing is. the ideology is extremely harmful #but a large percentage of terfs and also these older feminists shes talking about #are traumatised by their upbringing as a woman #some cant even comprehend why someone amab would want to be a woman #so they assume nefarious reasons #and for some it's like #if anyone can id as a woman then does my trauma mean anything? are they invalidating the fact that womanhood has consisted of suffering-#-for me?#personally ive had conversations with older feminists and have cleared up this conversation pretty quickly lol #but yeah it was fun being asked that #and god it's nice having a teacher respect you and presume you have insights rather than assuming they know more than you do bc theyre #the teacher #@ most of my highschool teachers and also my tutor last term #ed mumbles
