You think you can't be plural because there aren't any other voices in your head?
You already have one. Her name is tinnitus.

Haven't figured out a politic way to word this but before saying someone/thing "makes you uncomfortable" please ask yourself this important question: is it any of your fucking business
This has been said before but it's really cool how many people think transmisogyny is just about getting called tranny or faggot by strangers occasionally. No thought about how your community or friends or family interact with you and treat you. Just anonymous and brief hateful messages from strangers
Every few years there’s a shift in the discourse where someone decides that there’s a group of queers who aren’t “really” queer and for reasons unknown decided that they will focus all of their discourse on trying to discredit that one group.
It used to be “straight passing” bisexuals. Then it was “Theyfabs” and “transtrenders”. Then it was “hetero aces.” Now it’s “transmisogyny-exempt” people. And the thing you find every time is that the people writing angry multi-paragraph screeds about how these “invaders” are “stealing resources” or “silencing people” but they can never actually point to more than one or two examples, at best, of this happening.
But if you repeat something enough with a strong enough conviction in your voice, people will pretty much always be willing to think you’re right, even when you aren’t.
This is the basis of fascism. Exclusionary rhetoric is fascist. No one is immune to this thought process. You have to actively work on avoiding it.
“Did you just call me a fascist because I’m concerned with TME people silencing trans women” i mean, yeah. I did. Fix yourself, and I’ll be willing to talk to you again. I won’t apologize for what I said, mind you. But you can always fix yourself.
I used to think like that. I used to talk about how you “need dysphoria to be trans” and how bi people can “pass as straight” and how trans men “take up our space.” And I was wrong about all that.
There’s enough space in the queer community for everyone. We are always stronger when we understand this. Please, look towards unity rather than division. Fix yourselves.
Being wrong doesn’t make you a bad person. Changing your views is not evidence of weakness. Your friends will still live you if you change. Please.
Look at me. You can not save Men's Rights as an ideology. Be a trans activist. Be an anarchist. Be a black activist or a disability activist. Men's Rights are not the solution to your problems; but you can find out what is, and you can champion that cause.
Men's Rights Activism is not a good idea that gets turned bad, it is simply a branch of antifeminism. You have to let it go.
the worst fucking shit is hearing other trans women online imply that “clocky” trans women aren’t really part of the community of trans women, that we basically count as men
can I say something too woke or no?
