One of my favourite comments. Just zero self awareness, doesn't see the irony at all. By a TW.
Amber Snider People are not being silenced for having dissenting opinions. There is plenty of disagreement being left here. The difference is that the disagreement isn't rooted in the dehumanizations of certain women in order to make a point.
You crying about being called 'cis' is ridiculous. It's not a slur, it's a scientific designation. Trans people have been dealing with being forced to use a scientific designation before their gender for decades. Why is it a slur when it's you, but not for them?
You can't claim to care about all women if your activism works against their safety, health, and rights as a human being. The term TERF exists because Radical Feminists have deliberately and even violently worked to exclude trans women from their spaces, have actively denied the identities of trans men, and have been openly aggressive towards women who have had or have desired relationships with men. It's not a slur, it's a description of an exclusive, violent, and frankly disgusting ideology.
Nice that you call our collective understanding of our oppression "ideology".
Sorry, but it just seems a little familiar for an oppressor to not agree that a marginalized group they have power over experiences oppression and understands their material realities.
Trans people have spent decades writing about transphobia and cissexism. If you don't 'agree' with that, it still doesn't make it any less real.
And I don't view women as my oppressors, since I am one. On the axis of gender, I'm oppressed by men, obviously. In transphobia/cissexism, I view cis people as my oppressors, justifiably, because they weaponize transphobia and cissexism against us. That's, like, the most basic part of trans 101.
AAAARGH!!!
'I don't view women as my oppressors, since I am one'.
NO you are NOT!!
