on a more serious note, I fucking hate how everytime I try to talk about the fact that transmascs are particularly vulnerable to radicalization efforts by terfs (which yes, does often result in at least partial detransition) people interpret it as if I'm celebrating that fact. believe it or not I actually think its a pretty insidious threat to our community, and I don't know how you expect to combat it without being honest about the part regressive rhetoric and bad actors play in all this
saying trans men are gonna detransiton into terfs is an interesting take ill give you that
bold of you to assume they have to detransition to be a terf

that doesn't invalidate the statement. theoretical analysis of oppression is often necessarily simplifying because, as you pointed out, life is infinitely complicated, and sometimes you have to gloss over potential complicating factors if you want a political statement more specific than "oppressed people are oppressed by their oppressors". and once you've identified a generalized pattern of oppression, say, men oppressing women, you can begin to interrogate how that is impacted (intersected even) by other patterns of oppression
People loooove complex characters until they’re women
Being insane but cognitively aware of how insane you are is a special kind of hell because you know that you aren't normal and you can pinpoint the behaviors that label you as other and make people kinda go quiet and twitchy around you but you can't change them or your neurosis so you're stuck in a brutal cycle of trying to emulate normal people and failing horribly cus you know in theory how normal people look and act but in practice you can never change what you are and everyone else knows it too and this goes on forever until you die
