Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:
Not all Men are evil
Everyone has the capacity for evil
Transgender Men are men
Transgender Women are women
Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)
Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement
Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators
Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"
If you're a single issue feminist and you want to raise your son to respect women but you also use authoritarian parenting, you're pretty much guaranteeing that your son will be sexist. You're pretty much guaranteeing that your son will think being sexist is siding with the resistance, which is a common piece of propaganda that sexists use.
If you deny any struggles that he has and you expect him to care about women's struggles, you're pretty much guaranteeing that he will see feminism as women getting special treatment.
If you demand that he respect women and also demand that he respect authority, and if you call it "disrespect" when he yells at you in direct response to you yelling at him first, then you're pretty much guaranteeing that he won't take complaints of "disrespect" seriously.
If you rule with an iron fist and make him afraid of you, you're pretty much guaranteeing that he won't respect anyone who can't make him afraid of them, and the vast majority of women who he disrespects are not going to be able to make him afraid.
If you want him to question society's harmful attitudes against women, you also have to raise him to question society's harmful attitudes that benefit you. This includes society's harmful attitudes against children.
Autistic people sometimes struggle with apologizing, because they're never taught how to do it the right way.
When autistic people are taught how to apologize, they're often taught that the sincerity of the apology is determined by how well they can hide their disability.
Not enough eye contact = insincere apology
Struggling to phrase it = insincere apology
Wrong tone = insincere apology
Asking questions to figure out how to prevent doing it again = insincere apology (and "arguing" or "making excuses")
Meanwhile, neurotypical people can continue their patterns while still being considered sincere by these standards.
yeah I'm afab (assigned freak at birth)
"yeah i agree trans men are affected by oppression but also anybody who uses the word transandrophobia is transmisogynystic for magical reasons i can only explain with bioessentialist rhetoric and the ridiculous idea that any trans person is "exempt" from misogyny"
then you go onto the transandrophobia tag and its just trans guys showing screenshots of people saying they should be killed and then asking "hey dont say this stuff about us please"
"trans men/mascs transition out of oppression and towards privilege" is a terf talking point and it will never be progressive.
Finding a colorblind friendly redesign of the rainbow flag has me happy to see a pride flag for once
More proof that capitalism was never "freedom" or "small government".
