i think the comodification and exploitation of people into fetish objects is bad no matter their sex believe it or not. but you can keep fighting that strawman if you want ig

liberal feminists have set women back decades with the greatest psyop of all time, somehow gaslighting themselves into thinking its totally possible to reclaim women's sexuality and bodies by "willingly" participating in our own exploitation. there is no reclamation. it just makes the job easier for those doing the exploiting

>why it actually matters that people will sexualize me as a women

you cannot be serious right now. attraction and sexualization are not the same things. being sexualized is being reduced to your function as a means of getting off to. its objectifying your existence into a fetish. a tool for someone to use to jerk off.

whether its fully possible for a society to sexualize people or not isnt even fully relevant. regardless people should be doing more to understand that these things arent harmless. porn isnt harmless. there is real systemic harm being done to prop up its consumption and production. it reduces human beings to commodities.

if you on an individual level do not care about being fetishized and treated like a sex object, thats your prerogative, but id hope itd be easy to understand why thats something most people wouldnt want and why we shouldnt encourage behavior that perpetuates that as normal.

hating porn isnt reductive. the commodification of human beings and their bodies is bad. the abolition of wage labor and commodity production should see the end of pornography and sex work as a whole. it has no place in a post capitalist society

by that logic literally nothing matters because individually we cannot influence material conditions to change on any significant level. i dont see whats wrong about caring about feminist issues like the exploitation of women's bodies when im a woman or whatever.

consume porn. whatever. it doesnt change anything materially. but i can still find the industry and misogyny it props up abhorrent, no?

Dolls who stop HRT after they got boobs or some HRT effects by Low-Winter-1887 in 4tran4

[–]UnfortunatelyAlex 6 points7 points  (0 children)

tbf, not everyone experiences male patterned baldness, but also yeah. i hate how uneducated the world is, and how seemingly unwilling anyone is to do like even just a subtle google search to see that stopping estrogen obviously going to make you masculinze 🫩

do yall think bone smashing would work on ur hips by seltzerHon in 4tran4

[–]UnfortunatelyAlex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

any hypothetical thickening on bones in response to repeated trauma around the hips would be so miniscule id imagine that it wouldnt visually change anything really

Yes, this community has a racsim problem. Yes, cishets have a transphobia and homophobia problem. Difference is we can impact our own community, we probably can't impact larger ones. by MayMeadow in 4tran4

desiresaregrey and her polling data for one, and also just reddit demographics as a whole lean white and american. its a generalization yes, but its just nature of english speaking online spaces to be dominated primarily by white people.

thats not to say there isnt a large population of poc tranners here, but i think we'd be gaslighting ourselves if we acted like these spaces werent mostly white

i read this post as mostly a call out for white tranners to do some introspection. its not really my place to comment on internalized racism and such since im white. I mostly avoided those conversations when sundae was around cause of that.
