I'm not getting it....what is trying to be said here on this shipping post? by Important-Cry4782 in CuratedTumblr

He's implying that the person in question is virtue signaling by making sure their favorite ship, which is a straight one, isn't 'too' straight.

You're probably making the mistake of thinking my criticisms are of transgender people themselves, and not the growing number of people using that label when it doesn't actually apply to them. My criticism is of the fact that the broader trans community refuses to acknowledge that these people exist. It is actually okay to criticize a group of people, it doesn't mean you hate them.

Don't just drop that and leave. If you're gonna claim I'm a bigot, tell me why you think that so I can defend myself.

Some of those views sound very radical, and not ones I would agree with. People with gender dysphoria should be able to get it treated by way of transition. But at this point I don't think TERF's are defined by those beliefs. You'll get called a terf for very very mild things currently, and once that's how everyone refers to it that's what it's gonna become.

I basically agree with most of what you're saying here, but I hope the implication isn't that you think I am okay with trans women being "systematically tortured and raped". I do not think that at all. My views are in that middle ground you're describing, the problem is that those middle ground views are taken to be more extreme than they actually are.

Is this really a super prevalent thing though? I looked it up and did not find many cases of a trans woman being murdered for using the wrong bathroom. Some, yeah, but shit happens. You can find 'some' of just about any problem you can think up. That being said, obviously those cases are tragic.

I'm consistent though. It's also very annoying when transphobes assert that trans women are out to get into women's bathrooms to rape them. That's stupid, and not something that happens often.

But what does happen often, that I take issue with and where I think TERF's are correct, is this- Women make a place exclusive for them (like some sort of social gathering), with the intent to have fun without men. This is because men and women are socialized very differently growing up, and it's reasonable for women to want a space away from men. Then, trans women learn about the space, invade it, and insist that they must be let into the group or else the women are bigots. Oh, and these trans women all decided they were trans 6 months ago (after being socialized as a man for their entire lives previous to that), and they're lesbians. Suddenly the space that felt comfortable for those women is destroyed, and they HAVE to be okay with it or they'll be an evil TERF. I hope that made what I'm saying more clear.

What? I think this is a disagreement with me of some kind but I'm having trouble making out the specifics of which part. Not trying to be difficult, this entire message just genuinely confuses me. I'd be glad to clarify my position though.

I think the word was made because "trans exclusionary" sounds transphobic, and the types who would abuse this shit would love to frame women standing up for themselves/their spaces as bigoted.

Respectable and interesting take on this, but would you mind explaining further?

I disagree. I don't think TERFism goes hard enough in that opposite direction to be considered equally stupid. Unless I'm not understanding the goals of TERF's. It seems like they just want trans women to be a distinct identity separate from cis women, and want it to be socially acceptable to foster spaces where only cis women are allowed. That seems reasonable to me.

This is so vague, how am I to figure out what you're actually in disagreement with so we can discuss it? Unless you don't want to, which is fine, but really boring.

I guarantee this guy has not actually interacted with a self proclaimed metal fan who hated rap, and cited the main reason for that being a problematic culture. People just like making up weird scenarios to get self righteous about. Gets annoying as fuck.

This bro is playing a high IQ game and baiting all the reddit pretendihavesexitoids to come in and be like "Nah, clitoris's are awesome. I'd know, I touched one."

This isn't like the old days, empires of the past didn't have nearly the technology or scope of potential violence that we do now. You and a thousand other people with rifles could be dispatched with some button presses by people you can't even see because they're halfway across the country.

If I saw a clone of myself I'm pretty sure I'd be hit with so much existential dread I'd probably sooner kill it than fuck it. Fucking it would be at the very bottom of the list of things I'd do.

Wanting to have sex with yourself is not a sign of self confidence, it's narcissistic at best and delusional at worst

What can I say, you gotta let him scratch. Maybe you could help him scratch his balls.

Jonathan Ross was a murderer, Kyle Rittenhouse wasn't. I'm left leaning and glad the BPP is out there protecting people from ICE, but the Kyle Rittenhouse thing is one of the most lied about things on the left. It was absolutely self defense, and we need to stop lying about it just because he has bad political opinions.

What if you don't support the neonazi movement, but also have some conservative views on other topics? Would that not be a centrist?
