"Trans men and lesbians can date!!" "Trans men and straight men can date!!" "Lesbian includes attraction to men!!!" "Labels mean nothing just use what you want!!!" what if I threw a rock at you.

whats your opinion on the email leaks linking the rampant transphobic legislation in america to future plans to remove gay rights? are you angry that we were right all along? are you going to deny that trans people have been saying this THE WHOLE DAMN TIME?

Lmao I have a (very busy) life, so I don't know what email leaks you're referencing in this ask, but I have heard rumor of this being a thing in theory, so I'll address this to the degree I can.

I've never been a lawmaker nor encouraged any legislation that would deny anyone a single human right. If you bothered to check out my top posts, etc., before sending this, you'd see that I got top surgery myself and experienced significant relief from it. I've never in any way advocated for conservative legislation, or any legislation that would restrict adult autonomy or that is pro-censorship or in any other manner authoritarian. I'm not the one to blame, but of course you come to blame women/feminists instead of the white male conservative lawmakers who did whatever you're mad about this time, and their constituents who allowed it. I hold no political power (i don't even use other social media lol), yet here you are. You confront me anonymously, blaming me who had nothing to do with any law, but did you ever call your congressperson?

I want one thing very clear: yall are the ones who wouldn't let us pass bills to protect SSA people unless trans people were explicitly included. Transactivists are the ones who convinced lawmakers that lesbians, gays, and bisexuals are the same as trans-identifying people in the first place. You delayed our rights to things like marriage and freedom from employment and housing discrimination by refusing to let pro-gay legislation pass without including trans "rights" (cosmetic surgery is not a basic human right). The association lawmakers now make between homosexuals/bisexuals and genderists is a direct result of your movement's actions, and now we have to suffer for it *again.*

I want women's rights protected. That doesn't mean I want trans people to suffer. I would really prefer nobody innocent ever have to suffer. But if you refuse to respect women and if you deny myself and my sisters our established rights to safety from males, I will fight back every time. That isn't me wanting you to suffer or not have your rights; it's me not being cool with women and girls (as in female human beings) being stripped of our rights, and me not permitting the removal of our rights to go down without a fight. Y'all always send these anonymous messages blaming us, threatening or wishing death and rape on us, calling us literal racial slurs... yet as soon as we try to have any genuine good faith conversations with you, it's an instant "block to stay safe," like you're in danger from hearing a feminist's counterpoint on tumblr 💀

Get a grip. Almost all of us radfems used to be allies or full-on trans-identified ourselves. We know your perspective, but you don't actually know ours. Yall make it obvious time and time again how drastically misinformed you are about what radical feminism is about, but how could you not? You aren't allowed to talk to us, so your idea of who we are and what we stand for only comes from what you've been told by people who share your exact views. I know because I once was you, for many many years.

Come and talk. I don't hate you for who you are, I don't want you to suffer or not have rights, and I don't bite. DM me and have an adult conversation. At the very least, if you aren't open to a real conversation, shouldn't you know your enemy? If radfems really are your enemy, shouldn't you make sure you have an accurate understanding of radical feminist views? Or is ignorance and disinformation (via misrepresentation of radical feminism) the real tactic?

Don't you ever wonder why so many of us used to be trans activists?
