I enjoy positive messages in safe spaces. It’s a nice affirmation that the people here in this community are welcoming of trans women. Not all women’s groups are welcoming in that way.
I don’t think you’re being stupid! I think maybe you’re being a little cynical or pessimistic, which I can understand with gestures at everything in the world rn
You’re absolutely right. There’s 0 need to post this. It’s stating the obvious, who’s this meant for? It definitely feels like someone’s beliefs crumbling so they have to keep telling themselves the thing because they don’t truly believe it, they’re starting to doubt it.
I’m a dude, but damn, this situation kinda vexes me.
Because 4 days ago you were a dude. And now you’re here in a women’s only group trying to police what we post about and how we make sure our fellow women feel welcome.
idk, it’s just the fact you have to say it implies it’s not obviously true
Like “black men are men” sounds like “I wasn’t thinking they weren’t, but now I’m questioning it”
A lot of people are questioning, out loud, whether trans people even deserve to exist right now.
So yes, the message that trans women are women is an important one and might bring some comfort to someone as they’re browsing.
But are they questioning it here? I thought this was supposed to be a safe space where trans women being women was just common knowledge
Idk maybe I’m being stupid, it came off the wrong way to me, but I’m sure it is helping people :3
