06.08.2025 20:39 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Indeed, my feeling is that a great deal of anti-trans propaganda is motivated by a perceived breach of gender-contract. It is what women experience *from each other* played out on a massive social scale.
06.08.2025 20:20 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0You simply do not know whether the response is one of genuine compassion and understanding, or simply protecting the "herd" whilst resentment goes on underneath, unchecked.
For some, this may be a conscious process, for others it is not. But what women dislike the most, is to break this contract.
This is basic, and has even been described by anti-trans women, who accurately describe how women do this, but stop short of saying that this very action is their modus operandi in every part of their lives. The "silent majority" is simply exposing this process.
06.08.2025 20:10 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Even saying such a thing exposes a fundamental misunderstanding of female socialisation, which rewards apparent non-conflict, and support for the "group", whilst those very same people harbour frustrations and resentment they have been socialised not to show.
06.08.2025 20:06 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0"Women are nice to me, there's something wrong with you" is myopic, and disregards that anti-trans ideology has grown and thrived within cis female social constructs, power, and methodology. I do not know of any men's groups that have achieved the same levels of genocidal persecution.

Please can we inform men that women are telling them that they are prohibited from walking through the lingerie department, especially as an employee.
06.08.2025 15:03 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0I've said it before and I'm saying it again: this is the era where men will be our biggest allies.
I know this is difficult, given the prevalence of violent gender policing by men, and our collective (often childhood) trauma relating to that, and I hear and intimately understand that.
I'm so tired of the ignorance of how some of you talk about transfem kids. They are girls. We were girls. We deserve better than being constantly lumped in with our biggest persecutors.
06.08.2025 07:50 β π 783 π 137 π¬ 1 π 0Think of it as a good thing (if you're not 6ft 2), they can only identify people as trans if they are 6ft 2. The greater majority of press fearmongering is for people *only* 6ft 2.
In the meantime, for people who are 6ft 2, I'm so sorry, you're always welcome to be tall in my company π.
We are in an era of unprecedented hostility manufactured by the media, the state, and women.
I promise you, time will undo this. In the mean time, we exist in ever smaller spaces.
Let them be spaces of light and love.

06.08.2025 14:33 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0It's not TERF's. It is just women in general who see it as a social necessity to object to the existence of trans women. It has been socially normalised to behave like this, you could call it a form of "female socialisation" in the UK.
Eventually, it will undo itself. Until then, stay safe.
Nice response, the UK is so toxic.

03.08.2025 23:50 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0In the article, it says "we must look toward trans folks to start shifting the way society sees gender roles". And I wholeheartedly agree: people with the protected characteristic of gender reassignment (however they choose to identify) can offer a unique and supportive environment for men.
03.08.2025 23:31 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0This assumes that men and boys are responsible; however, the trans genocide in the UK is most definitely the responsibility of cisgender women, and absolves white women in America of responsibility for Trump. It is all of our responsibilities.
03.08.2025 23:29 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 03 Aug 25 - New study shows vast "over-representation of trans boys" turns out to be vast _under-representation_ of trans girls bec. they: a) come out ~10 years later; b) start puberty later; & c) delay transitioning longer because of deep social animus towards AMAB femininity.
