at a time where the scary spectre of the transfeminized is being used wholesale to build nationalist fascisms around the world it's like reason #27283 people are constantly being lapped by reactionaries 24/7 and progressive movements are utterly unequipped to deal with stuff

people who cannot conceptualize the basic ways transmisogyny constantly affects trans women & tfems as a misogyny on a structural level and interpersonal level simply aren't worth listening to in 2025 on any topics about gender, imo, particularly when the omission or obfuscation is intentional

These days It takes an extreme amount of effort to become one of the most hated men in America, but you can’t deny that Gavin Newsom is putting in the work

Gavin Newsom pressured behind the scenes to kill pro-LGBTQ+ bills, state lawmakers say The bombshell revelation from Politico is part of a disturbing trend among some Democrats.

7. Newsom has also allegedly spent the better part of the last year trying to kill statewide LGBTQ protections behind the scenes.

it's unfathomably messed up that the president of the United States is using the power of his office to go after a single high school kid.

Men will use "majored in Gender Studies" as an insult and then talk about all the redpill/evopsych content they consume.

Like, brother, I hate to break it to you, but you're way more into Gender Studies than whatever imaginary blue-haired Oberlin sophomore you're mad at

This isn’t just an op-ed either, it’s the editorial board of one of the most important legacy papers in the country. They are absolutely trying to launder transphobia as a respectable centrist opinion turned elite consensus, as happened in the UK.

Opinion | Good questions about transgender care The authors of a new HHS report make a case against pediatric gender transition.

it is truly remarkable how many people consider themselves amateur medical scientists when it comes to the incredibly specific and niche issue of transgender healthcare www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Content Warning: Frank discussions of rape and victim blaming.

The MRA cartoon from earlier made me want to broach the uncomfortable topic of (cis) men who are raped, or rather, the belief that (cis) men CAN'T be raped. Even some legal regimes--such as the UK's--enshrine this maxim into law.

New mothers often experience such extreme isolation and sleep deprivation for months and years on end, they can develop psychosis. But that’s not a crisis. We just shove it under the postpartum depression umbrella and treat it like a minor obstacle to overcome.

you do not, in fact, have to make any concessions to gender conservatism or cisnormativity at all. not for "pragmatic reasons," not for "statistical reasons," not for anything.

The right is openly leaning into Kinder, Küche, Kirche and guys on the left are on about "it's a scary time for young men."

I bet it's kind of freeing to have so little sense of shame

No one said that cis men don't have any problems. What was said was that cis men don't have problems that arise from being cis men and that the demand that we refocus political energy on them is part of an anti-feminist backlash across the political spectrum

Fascist use absurdity to wrap their actual agenda because it allows them plausible deniability as well as an opacity that is incredibly powerful.Make no mistake What Trump is saying here is that he wants to open CECOT style mega prisons for his perceived enemies and those who are against the regime.

“Male loneliness” is kind of the perfect antifeminist complaint, because it articulates the moral logic of patriarchal entitlement very neatly: that men deserve women’s attention, company, devotion, sex, and care, and women should provide these to men even at the cost of their own wellbeing.

Workplace discrimination and harassment, sexual assault, and domestic violence - these very often leave victims desperately lonely but this loneliness somehow never merits discussion as a "crisis"

Gorgeous

The implication that Things Don't Have To Be This Way is the most violent threat patriarchy can fathom. If gendered violence and the invention of Manhood through the subjugation and devaluation of everything not-Man is underminded, ameliorated, or ... dare I say it ... abolished?

Can't have that!

Yeah, exactly. And from the same people who say "without us, you'd be living in mud huts" or "we hunted the mammoth" or whatever

"You need to learn to communicate with him in ways he can understand."

Like, I don't know. Leaving sends a pretty unmistakable message.

conservative fixation on trans youth is a product of their fear and rage at the idea of children not being their property, to mold and shape as they see fit and to ensure the reproduction of the existing gendered order, but instead having the self-knowledge to self-mold and let the old order die

If girls are depressed, the answer is "girls shouldn't use social media!"

If boys are depressed, the answer is "everyone should be nicer to boys!"

It’s not coincidence that the discourse about male loneliness & declining birth rates are coinciding w/ CDC data showing high rates of victimization of & depression amongst teen girls & w/ the rapid dissolution of rights to bodily autonomy for girls, women, & gender marginalized groups.

It's really telling how depression among girls is treated as something that requires girls to be more surveilled and restricted, as if it's a symptom of too much freedom, while depression in boys is treated as a legitimate demand for more political power

Yeah, and there was that little window where overt misogyny was sort of loser-coded in masculine terms ("basement-dwelling virgins" or whatever) so they could preen themselves on being Real Men Who Touched Boobs

It's funny how quickly leftlib guys packed away the"Smash the Patriarchy" t-shirts they bought in 2017 as soon as they discovered that some feminists actually intended to do it
