i’m gonna make a thread for all of the “last straws” i experienced in TRA circles before i finally committed fully to radical feminism, because my peaking was less of a singular experience and more of a final buildup of all the little things i couldn’t stop noticing.
1. i noticed radfems coming into TRA circles with concise and well articulated arguments (even tho at the time i didn’t agree) and all TRAs replied with was “shut up terf”. like, they had no real rebuttals. they never debate, bc they know they’re wrong.
2. i advocated fully for trans women, and included them just as much as i included every other “type of woman” or MAIs as we called them (misogyny affected individuals) and yet that still wasn’t enough. they didn’t want to be included, they wanted to be centered.
3. along the same lines, i noticed a pattern of “thought crime” thinking among TRAs. even if you said and did all the right things, they pressured you to overshare your personal thoughts so they could pick it apart and make sure you’re THINKING the way they want you to.
3, cont. everyone was a TERF until proven otherwise, and all of the TERFs were just women with different opinions that, 9 times out of 10, had literally nothing to do with trans people whatsoever.
4. the whole concept of transmisogyny, which I still have yet to see an actual definition for. most of the things TW called transmisogyny were things that TM experienced as well. didn’t matter tho bc transwomen are ofc the most oppressed and victimized group on the planet

5. “AFABs” couldn’t say a fucking word about their experience without being told to shut up. it was always “she/theys” “afabs” etc etc, and then blatant misogyny. hmm seems familiar lmao
6. no one could fucking define woman!!!! circular definitions, logical fallacies, blatant untruths... how can you ADAMANTLY insist someone is a woman when you can’t even define the word https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦♀️" title="Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Frau schlägt sich die Hand vors Gesicht">
7. TERF was the ultimate silencer. everything that threatened male supremacy even in TRA circles was https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts"> terf rhetoric https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🥰" title="Smiling face with 3 hearts" aria-label="Emoji: Smiling face with 3 hearts"> and asserting that someone was a TERF was the easiest and fastest way to get them blacklisted, no evidence required.
that’s all i can think of at the moment but pls reply w ur own or rt hehe
