unlearning tumblr ideology | 'heterodox' opinions

one thing i would disagree with guy no. 1 on is that the trans community absolutely does use that language. obvs not every person but a vast majority especially online
“kink belongs at pride” i’d love to know why the fuck you weirdos wanna do that so bad? why do you yearn for random people to see what freaky dumb shit you’re into? literally why.
and i am like 90% sure i once saw a tweet that was responding to someone saying children go to pride and they were like “um children are more sexually aware than you think”.. there is something terribly wrong with you
"I don't feel like a girl" "I don't feel like a boy"
There isn't a specific way to feel as a girl or boy. Patriarchy has been forced to us how we're supposed to "act" in order to fit the patriarchal standard. Anyone can be feminine or masculine, anyone doesn't have to be feminine or masculine, it's okay to not "fit" in a gender stereotype. The point is we're not supposed to, we're just humans.
there was one experience i had in a college class in 2018 i keep thinking about
went to a very liberal college and was in the english program and so at that time everything was about gender ideology, queer theory, obviously propagating the liberal TRA perspective.
one girl spoke up questioning transness and cited the fact of trans-identified-males assaulting people in bathrooms.
and everyone else got so uncomfortable and acted like she said something violent & shrieked defenses like “That’s made up” or “that’s just in the UK”
the room was so uncomfortable and glared at her and she was basically silenced
i was part of the uncomfortable crowd because those situations are comfortable. and i believed in transness and gender ideology at that time. so i did think she was wrong.
but that girl was right! she was so right and brave to question this ideology and attitude she was having to endure in her classes!
sometimes i regret that i spent so much money on those classes, on that degree, just to be indoctrinated. i could’ve gone somewhere else and done a different program and learned the same skills but through better means.
looking back on it, my enjoyment of m/m fan fiction kickstarted the whole thing. i think it’s a case for a lot of autistic women who feel kind of out place:
the “i’m so gay” phase, the tumblr ideology (bc it’s tied with fandom), the scared of men irl and just genuinely being weird about them, all while just actually being a normal straight girl
i just wonder what my life would be like if i never got sucked into tumblr 2010s world. if i never believed so strongly all those harmful beliefs tumblr perpetuated about gender, sexuality, anxiety, self love, etc. where would i be! who knows i might be married by now.
but oh well, we move on and are living fully now!

This is just my 2¢ as a nonbinary person but I genuinely think that cis people's gender is just as constructed as trans people's. Cis people love to accuse us of having making up genders or artificially modifying our appearance but....the entire makeup, fashion, diet, workout, and haircare industry exists so that cis people can maintain the illusion of two entirely distinct genders with no overlap.
re. last post, it’s so interesting how when confronted or challenged even the slightest about the things they say, liberals in these videos start stuttering and lose their confidence.
they’ve never had to face disagreement and moreover never actually think deeply about what they believe and why.
just repeat the lines. you’re a puppet of big nonprofit/academia.
it’s time for white liberals to give up their softly bigoted ways of thinking
then again it’s not really that soft when you say with your whole face on camera “black people don’t know how to use the internet” WHAT!
Getting very sick of trans-identified men making creepy, voyeuristic media about the violence and suffering that women and girls experience at the hands of men.
answer the damn question!!!!!
I've gotta say, watching the creepiest dudes from my high school become TIMs is dystopian as fuck.
"Trans women are women" that is literally Brad from English. He's been fetishizing lesbians and frying his brain cells with anime porn since he got access to the internet.
I feel so awful for all the young girls being forced into religion and forced to wear a hijab. imagine being born and being told your whole life that you must cover yourself, must hide your body, because your body is inherently sexual - you are inherently sexual and must be hidden just because you were born a girl.
the transrace vs transgender thing is sooo interesting to me. like they really just picked which one would be okay and which one wouldn’t be. it’s okay for a man to put on a dress and makeup and decide he’s a woman and we all need to shut up and support him and let him in to woman’s spaces but the white girl putting clips on her eyes at night and saying she’s korean is totallyyyyy different and bad. and the tras can’t even answer what the difference is they just dance around it
no one actually "transitions" into anything. you are still the same you. the only thing you can do is to mutilate your secondary (and even primary) sex characteristics and use synthetic hormones which ruin your health long term. this is extreme body modification, at best. it's genuinely laughable that anyone would still think that cosmetic surgeries and cutting off your tits or dick actually change who you are as a person. wake the fuck up. the time is now. the medical industry does not care about you. you are just a customer.
like i understand it can get a little tricky to tell someone's sex when all your human interaction takes place in text-based conversations without pictures, but the rest of us go outside
TRAs loveee to say that women getting boob jobs, laser hair removal, botox, filler, etc. and men getting gynecomastia surgery or hair transplants are all “gender affirming care” but every single one of those things is solely intended to help a person fit more neatly into gendered beauty standards and I just don’t understand how they don’t see that they’re fully telling on themselves. Like it’s one of the most blatant examples of their core belief that gender=superficial stereotypes and that their ideology is entirely based on reinforcing binary gender norms.
i'm sorry but i find this so deeply pathetic. you don't love being a woman. you love consumerism and that has nothing to do with being a woman.
i don’t not believe that the suicidal ideation is real but it needs to be intervened with in the way you’d intervene if it was rooted in any other mental health issue, not, ‘we’re going to freeze your puberty for awhile then give you alternate hormones’
Trans women calling themselves ‘dolls’ really shows what they think women are tbh
a critique of radfems i always see on here is “oh they’re just so obsessed with biology, oh they’re just so obsessed with their period and stuff, they reduce women to their biology, ew”
which i haven’t seen that in that reductive way , and well. can you blame em for being “obsessed” with biology? in a world where women are oppressed based on biology? where our biological functions are seen as gross and bedeviled and shit?!
so uh yeah maybe we should have a little more celebration of our biology.
running from observable reality gets you nowhere.
holding women to a higher standard is part of my feminism. no, you don’t get to just do whatever you want. time to grow up. take responsibility, stop this ‘i’m just a girl’ shit.
immaturity and selfishness is a problem among men and women right now. that’s the hill i’ll die on
women who are so obsessed with texting are such losers. no wonder you can’t keep a man.
honestly i’ve never understood women like this anyway who try and have all these rules about dating and think it’s so complicated. even back in school i never got it. and i guess this behavior has just continued for so many??? y’all don’t wanna grow up??? i don’t even wanna be friends with them. it’s so annoying to hear about ‘oh he didn’t text me’ you’re 28 get a grip
eh they both can be true … they can both hold truth. yeah
i can’t imagine going through all that schooling and training and being like yeah let’s freeze kids’ puberty based on shaky, unsettled science. let’s treat this one issue differently than every other mental health/medical issue. we’re going to take the feelings of this group of mentally unwell people as medical facts … why!!!
the valedictorian of my high school class is now a doctor and she posts TRA stuff on her instagram all the time. scary shit

a woman is whoever wants to be one
lesbians have to unlearn their distaste for dick
womb renting is ok
being a mother and having children is gross though
trans women invented feminism and we owe everything to them
all such disgusting propaganda.
the thing that made me see the light re. gender ideology/trans rights movement was the whole “a woman is anyone who says they’re a woman” thing
because it doesn’t make sense. there’s no universe in which is makes sense. youre not asked to just not define something in any other arena but this issue. i just imagined if we were asked to view other things in the world this way. it’s crazy. things have to have definitions.
but these people do have a definition, even if they won’t say it. they think a woman is just someone who wears skirts and makeup. that’s why they think a woman is anyone who wants to be one. 5 year olds have a better understanding of reality.
it’s all just good old fashioned misogyny. by this logic, if a woman doesn’t wear makeup or present super feminine does that make them a man? you ask questions and all of a sudden it’s [insert sputtering TRA word salad here]
it really is just a worship of the binary. masquerading as something revolutionary. and people are frothing at the mouth to defend it. acting like it’s a human rights issue. the biggest fucking con ever.
