After engaging with TERFs (a distinct subset of radfems that go by "radfems" I& #39;ve noticed) and "gender critics" this weekend, I decided to learn more/go down that wretched rabbit hole.
And find this.
It& #39;s AWAYS fucking this. GOD. FUCKING. DAMMIT. https://twitter.com/herong/status/1333456751799230469">https://twitter.com/herong/st...

I forgot to document how long it took me to get here so that I could get started on that model of how quickly these bigoted belief systems trace back to anti-Semitism.
I swear to fucking god.
I have a fucking headache now. Fuck, man.

And yet so much more for me to learn.
Not today, though. I& #39;m done now. My head needs a rest. https://twitter.com/herong/status/1333539553781690380">https://twitter.com/herong/st...

Welp, this has become a new bookmarked thread for me. This is my new "QAnon." A "movement" about which I have to educate myself more because this shit& #39;s just so god damn harmful. Fuck, man. https://twitter.com/sameSorbet/status/1378774072570609667">https://twitter.com/sameSorbe...

Subfaction of the anti-Semitic angle of transphobes. https://twitter.com/QuacksAnonymous/status/1334131026965180417">https://twitter.com/QuacksAno...
As noted, not everyone believes the anti-Semitism they push, but still use it to justify other forms of bigotry. https://twitter.com/QuacksAnonymous/status/1352730957615411201">https://twitter.com/QuacksAno...

Oh, and I came across this yesterday, thinking it would be more along the lines of "gender critical."
Nope. Right back to religious fundamentalism, and yep, you guessed it: anti-Semitism.

Thinking about "gender abolitionists." From what I& #39;ve seen, this includes TERFs and non-TERFs/generic radfems (so far, there seems to be this distinction, though I could be wrong?).
Anyway, a quick thought on "gender abolition":

Like, how do gender abolitionists think this is gonna go? Realistically, I see:
Gender abolition
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts"> force everyone to be non-binary?
Or:
Gender abolitionhttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👉" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach rechts"> force everyone to identify as their sex, in which case, that& #39;s not gender abolition... that& #39;s upholding gender norms, no?
Gender abolition
Or:
Gender abolition
An extension of this:
Getting rid of gender inequality/inequity should be the goal, not getting rid of gender.
Just as getting rid of race inequality/inequity should be the goal, not getting rid of race.
Getting rid of gender inequality/inequity should be the goal, not getting rid of gender.

CW: transphobia
Whoops. What was that?
