Okay so another reason TERFs are shit

scarecrow-sanctuary:

thepeacockangel:

They’re like “Trans women have retained male privilege because they have male socialization”

Which presumably is like “they were socialized to be assertive and not take bullshit and to speak up” or whatever, right?

Which if we extrapolate is basically saying “if women weren’t so passive and accepting of men’s shit and spoke up for themselves men would treat them better”

Which is like… uh… okay, way to blame women’s behavior for the existence of patriarchy.

It’s just like SWERFs blaming porn for patriarchy rather than blaming patriarchy for misogynistic content in porn.

there is more to male socialization than not thinking less of yourself like women are made to. its about them thinking less of women. 

also therefore trans women would not have had this experience growing up, and should not be asked for their opinions on the fragile and difficult topic. they simply didnt experience it. 

this has nothing to do with sex workers you fool

… But cis women are also socialized to think less of women so???

Also yeah they did, they grew up receiving the same messages about women as every other kid in society, and considering that they’re yknow girls they tend to assimilate those messages as about themselves so… not to mention the way gnc kids get punished especially amab ones. Like the amount of misogynist violence committed against little trans girls is horrific and your denial of that violence is a profound example of misogyny. I haven’t slept in like 28 hrs but Jesus fuck you’re a bad radical
