terfs on telegram are so funny but way worse than terfs on tumblr bcs they’re followers r usually not even that aware of this stuff and just believe whatever they’re ranting about w/o questioning them
like on telegram its the meme of “oh you disagree w me? you hate all women with independent thoughts?” but…they’re dead serious lmfao

cant even imagine myself going atp like i disassociate daily and imagine a life i obviously know i cant and wont have and that’s enough it seems. im not even too mad by it i feel nothing im numbed whateverrrr
its just maybe im too old to lie to myself and think i can be happy anywhere. its not the country exactly thats fucking me up its me. ppl r still happy and successful and excited and just generally hip and young in this same city. im rotten from inside theres not much u can do about that not even geography helps

vegan but doesn’t give a shit about Palestinians. white girls never disappoint the “I can excuse racism but i draw the line at animal cruelty” line.

Content Warning: Transphobia and Trans-Misogyny
I was on reading up on Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and her transphobia and that led me to an abundance of terf accounts on twitter. What it reminded me of was the existence of terfs that completely and wholeheartedly believe trans people (and let’s be real, specifically trans women) are ‘dangerous’, that even though these ‘free thinkers’ are calling for harassment and exclusion of trans people, in workplaces, in schools, in public bathrooms and in feminism, any trans person who dares to question those words or rightfully show anger and send unpleasant comments (it’s not even that common but lets even say they send ‘online threats’) is a violent person whos calling for a physical attack on these poor women and that trans people/allies are in result a bunch of misogynists.
I’ve been looking and looking and I still haven’t found one single instance of a trans person or ally physically harming a TERF. I can’t find any hate crimes. but what I can find is instances of trans people being brutally attacked and hurt and much worse. Terfs argue that they have nothing to do with this violence and the normalization of it because it’s usually men who are perpetuating this violence and men can’t be terfs so the terf ideology + fear mongering + online abuse of trans people + normalization of violence against trans people specifically trans women has no correlation to actual violence committed. it’s baffling to hear from the same group that cries “violent misogyny” when people say “punch a terf today!” online w/o any instance of actual physical violence occurring. Just something I noticed and thought to share.

CW: Transphobia, Trans-Misogyny
another thing these people believe in is that they believe maleness is naturally violent and unpleasant therefore AMAB trans women being the “violent” aggressors because of what? calling your transphobia out? this idea goes away the minute they are faced with actual resistance from the trans community and have to see that oh! afab people are also completely capable of sending death threats and showing anger! like for example people were calling Akwaeke Emezi a violent trans person over this tweet (which btw, has resulted in 0 real life violence because everyone could understand its a figure of speech from the oppressed group fighting back against their oppressors) meanwhile Emezi is a non binary afab person. so now in reaction to Emezi, terfs use the “trans ideology is violent and misogynistic” instead of “trans women are violent” because the person calling them out isn’t even a trans woman. but then they turn around and continue making out the trans women as aggressors.
it’s extremely disheartening to see as a feminist because this is the same rhetoric actual misogynists use to shut feminists (especially feminist women) up. by calling us “violent” “emotional” and “irrational”.

watching the internet as just an observer is crazy. the behaviors especially on twitter could make anyone feel bad about the progress of humanity and im not even being mean
