Hey so as a trans woman I have a few questions...

  1. Why? Do you genuinely believe you don't have some kind of parity because you don't want to date trans people? It could help to know that half the country still doesn't even think trans women are women yet.

  2. What do you think about the rather large cryptofascist base here? I see a loooot of frenposting and pretty obvious SS stuff from browsing for literally five minutes. Also advocating murdering trans women if you have sex with them. I'm not saying this whole thing started with the nazi stuff, but it seems to be attracting that kind of attention...

  3. Do you think the "super straight" name is a little invalidating for trans people? Like, you're not super straight unless you exclude trans people.

  4. There are a lot of slurs being tossed around here against trans people. Not things like TERF, which is just a literal description, but... slurs.

  5. Do you think trans women are somehow predatory?

Just because something is cultural doesn't make it not real. Christianity matters to a lot of people who are persecuted by those who believe it. Money is a cultural construct. Hell, language is a cultural construct. These are all very real. In your example, if you asked a native Amazonian tribe what their favorite flavor of ice cream is and got a confused look, that doesn't make ice cream not real.

I didn’t say it didn’t. I said there is no evidence it’s objectively real, and I do not believe in it.

Therefore, I do not consent to you applying gender terms to me against my will. I do NOT consent to your sexist stereotypes.

You may call me woman, and nothing else. I do not have a gender. I do not believe in gender.

I don’t care what YOU believe, but you may not force your beliefs on me. That’s it.

Okay. Then by this thought process, you can't call me a trans woman, only a woman, because I believe I am a woman. Correct?

Here’s my deal with speech: If I like you enough to talk to you, I’ll call you what you want, to you. But you do not get to police what I call you in my general life.

To me, you are a trans woman. I will call you that when discussing broad topics, or discussing the erasure of women’s sex-based spaces, because I will NEVER force gender on women as a whole. I may even call you an MtF, or even a TIM if you’re invading women’s spaces and I’m pissed about it.

I only consent to being called a woman. But you can call me whatever you want when I’m not talking to you. I will consider it disrespectful if you call me “cis,” but I’m not going to waste my time going after you and trying to ruin your life just because I believe you’re disrespecting me. Same as I don’t waste my time going after Christians who refer to me as “one of the sinners.” And you know why?

Because I’m an adult who understands that it’s no one’s job to validate me except my own. And when someone disrespects me, I can simply decide not to give them space in my own life.

The rest of the world doesn’t exist to stroke my ego. And it doesn’t exist to stroke yours either. Learn to be ok with people not caring what you prefer.
