I have to keep reminding myself to not let the red mist descend, but one thing that gets me incandescent with rage is seeing transphobes try to use disabled people as shields.
“Trans healthcare is hurting disabled people!”
“What about the autistics being manipulated?!”
“D/deaf people aren’t pushing their language on people like the transes!”
FUCK OFF
Don’t you
DARE.
nobody has ever said this to you op stop making hypothetical scenarios to get mad at
Kindly, fuck all the way off.
ok now you hold your community accountable babe!
A) obviously those are horrible and shouldn’t happen. Those people should be held to account for their actions, but blaming all trans people for the actions of three would be like me telling you you need apologise for the three cis women in my life who have sexually assaulted me. You didn’t do it. But it was your ‘class’ of person who felt entitled enough to my body to try it. So should I personally blame all women for that?
B) me saying this very specific thing that certain transphobes do upset me doesn’t mean I’m tarring all transphobes as ableists. I’m sure transphobes aren’t all ableists! 🥰 the fact you jump to ‘you’re accusing all of us’ is very interesting considering how you refuse to be held accountable for JK Rowling’s assurtion that ALL trans women cannot be assumed to be innocent (which as a historian I can tell you is profoundly fascist), the fact that Posie Parker has called for trans women to be threatened with guns - oh just this whole video.
C) You are aware that that’s a tiny account with no evidence it’s being run by a trans woman, yes? There’s no photos, no proof. Like, I looked it up and they use *your* terminology which is weird.
D) there isn’t any evidence that the last one is anything more than a bog standard misogynist who also attack trans people. Like, we should be allies against the patriarchy because what is more anti patriarchy than fighting the same confines of sex the original suffragettes did?
E) I’m Deaf. I campaign for better lives for us. I don’t appreciate being talked over by people who clearly have no idea of the work being done since they are so blinkered with hate for trans people.
Hope you have a great day. 😃
ok yeah you’re right but who said anything about jk rowling?
I didn’t say anything about rape, sexual assault, or rapist threats yet you felt it was pertinent to the conversation about being denied the chance to speak for myself as a Deaf and disabled person.
Yet here we are. Apologise for them. Hold your people accountable then.
(Also we both should have tagged the trigger warnings for things like that. Good tip to remember for the both of us. Accessibility, you know?)
