Got a terf in my sideblog and the reply is not worth deigning with a response but the pinned post?
This? This is a trap. This is concern baiting. Be very sure that shit like this is not in your best interest and does not care about you. The goal of rhetoric like this is conversion.
You’ll be welcomed and asked to ignore transphobia. You will be asked to side with transphobes at the expense of trans women. Eventually, you’ll be asked to see that, hey, maybe you transitioned to escape how terrible it is to be a woman?
This may seem obviously a trap but I see people every day buy into this. People like this do not care about you! They want to “rescue” you and don’t let them convince you otherwise.
Hey this one got the terfs pissy so like. To say again. Clearly if they’re mad about this, this post hit on something. Maybe reblog it?
a nonzero amount of TERFS are people who were seriously considering transition to male but got talked out of it by other terfs and now want to do the same thing to other people who are questioning their gender. i’ve seen a whole lot of them say the quiet part out loud: they don’t like being women, they once considered transitioning to escape the pain and discomfort, and they were made to believe that suffering is an intrinsic part of womanhood, which is a good thing, because being a man is much much much worse.
do not talk to terfs if being a woman is unpleasant for you: their entire ideology revolves around noble suffering, righteous misery and attacking people who make different choices and are happier and more comfortable than them. they hate trans men who ‘escape’ and ‘betray’ womanhood, they hate women who are too ‘stupid’ to be miserable, they hate straight women who find peace and happiness with male partners, they hate bisexuals, they hate queer women who are too butch or too femme. they hate themselves. they will not rescue you. they are drowning.
