this is getting downvoted but I’ve seen comments about people justifying sexism against trans men because “ they are a part of the patriarchy” and people intentionally being mean and disrespectful to cis/het people for no reason besides not being queer
Coming from a very strong leftist. I feel like this forum has been flooded with a lot of comments that are so woke they end up repeating right-wing/oppressive rhetoric while pretending to be progressive..

Me trying to explain how trans men becoming more excluded in queer spaces the more they pass by their own community isn’t actually misogyny and we need to look introspectively on what behaviors we allow in our community and biases we still hold and hide under the guise of “inclusivity paradox”. No fam this isn’t the paradox you just hate men AND trans men to the point you’re excluding lovely people and allies from our spaces bc you support gender essentialism and are chronically online

I’ve had multiple people in this group try to shame me for my sexuality (or lack of one), like I thought we were all about accepting differences and not forcing people to do things they don’t want to do

Justifying discrimination against trans men isn’t “so woke they end up repeating right-wing/repressive rhetoric,” it’s just “right-wing/regressive rhetoric.” You’ve just added an unnecessary middleman there. And I think there’s a clear difference between a queer person complaining about The Cishets and a cishet person complaining about The Queers, additionally I think it’s wild that I have to point that out.

The difference is they’re justifying it under the guise of progression and I’m not referring to people complaining I’m referring to people who have Cis/het friends and try to make them uncomfortable/make fun of them because they can’t do anything about
