Found this post thanks to @kasdeya@cryptid.cafe who posted it three years ago on her old timeline. Somebody boosted it on mine today and I knew I had to post it here.
⚠️ IMPORTANT REMINDER:
THIS IS A WOMEN ONLY COMMUNITY & SPACE
See "Rule 1: Women only…
Trans women are women, and transphobic or gender critical talk isn’t allowed. Anyone under the trans umbrella (e.g. non-binary, bigender, agender) is free to decide whether a women’s community is a good fit for them."
Literally every woman ive known gets pretty for themselves, not others. Most people don’t give a shit if you look pretty or not, if you think they do then you are just being narcissistic lmao
Are you a woman? Literally every woman I know, including myself, gets judged daily on their appearance.
No. They’re not.
As a trans woman, my ability to “pass”, ergo, be traditionally pretty and feminine is the thing that determines my ability to be able to live peacefully in public and to survive my very existence. As if I liked having panic attacks because I don’t think I look feminine enough to be able to go too far from my home because I need to build my entire life around the possibility that some guy may get confused about his sexuality when hitting on me if they clock me, feel emasculated and turn me into a statistic. Or god forbid, I don’t match with some arbitrary bullshit if I want to go piss in a public women’s bathroom. But sure, do come and tell me that I’m just being narcissistic.
Sure, a lot of that is for me because dysphoria is horrible but dysphoria would be a lot easier to move around and to explore if the world I was in wasn’t such a misogynistic and by extension transphobic shithole.
Literally every woman I know has read and understood rule 1, have you?
From earlier:
Case in point. I mean the rule was directly quoted in the very message this twit was responding to and he still couldn’t read it. #NotAllMen sure, but #AlwaysAMan.
#NotAllMen are illiterate… but
