sorry. guess I'm blogging trans drama now. But I still don't know what a baeddel is and at this point I really just don't super care
#my impressions from the vague things i've heard is like. vocal neoradfem transfem movement
#that's kinda annoying and jerkfacey but fundamentally right in a lot of their assessments but fundamentally wrong in others
#and got mocked into obscurity
#and like. who cares? do they have any serious institutional or social power to weaponize?
#does this matter at all outside of niche tumblr drama?
#idk i can think of like 10 other kinda problematic angry movements that 'we' at least are sympathetic to
#and aren't nearly this hostile towards. even though they result in much more tangible harms
#idk. just kinda feels like a mix of the 'angry women aren't fulfilling their role' deal that got classic radfem seen as
#a serious threat to whiteness-gender with the pressure in some contexts for trans women to be inoffensively feminine and 'fit in.'
#... which brings me to i feel like The Left™️. particularly in social media contexts. very much has a problem with an economy of
#who is worth critically allying with and who is worth driving off
#in the popularity economy of social media. you don't need to consciously hold bigoted beliefs to create discriminatory outcomes
#you just need to subconsciously make a discriminatory judgement when something makes you uncomfortable
#which you totally do! yes! i mean you! literally nobody in this society is above it! that's just how culture works!
#it doesn't even have to be much. when hundreds of thousands of people are. even little bits add up
#so you get this weird self-reinforcing filter where even if everyone is consciously against oppressive systems. and is correct in their
#assessments and analysis. and is critically engaging
#a status quo forms manifests in what actually reaches you. which then of proceeds to further reinforce itself since that impacts
#what even exists in the first place *to* filter.
#and in a lot of ways. reflects 'ambient' culture's biases.
