I'm guessing that they mean those blogs don't reblog their posts about transmisogyny (or their favourite bloggers' posts) and like

Yeah, I'm not going to reblog posts that primarily blame transmisogyny on trans men (and I'm iffy about ones that blame it on 'TMEs' too)

the issue tends to come when there's not *enough* people advocating on behalf of certain issues, not that people are focusing more of their energy on a smaller number of things vs trying to jack-of-all-trades it & fail miserably at adequately advocating for like 30 social issues

cat's futch bitchsona era ✨️🧙‍♀️🏹🌌🌷🍷🪄🎠🧭🎉🔬👀 @therapatical.bsky.social · 12h

not that that's fully an excuse to *never* talk about other issues, but just that I don't think centering certain issues is, like, a sign you don't care about other things. I think that's an impossible standard being set, there. we would all be completely ineffective otherwise.

it's almost like that's the only real feasible way social progressive discussions tend to happen. bc it's impossible to advocate on behalf of every single issue simultaneously 24/7 and therefore will tend to choose 1 or 2 main things they want to talk about

but.....idfk an account that specializes in one topic probably is going to focus mostly on that topic. wild concept....

trans women themselves talking about transmisogyny? idk maybe I just follow particularly progressive blogs. who knows. there are very few popular transmasc accounts, though. so.

cat's futch bitchsona era ✨️🧙‍♀️🏹🌌🌷🍷🪄🎠🧭🎉🔬👀 @therapatical.bsky.social · 12h

so like there's the obvious thing that pretty much every major account talking about transmasc oppression....also discusses transmisogyny, or at the very least condemns it. I can't think of a single *popular* one that hasn't spoken up for trans women? and shared things from

wow this is still such a ridiculous argument even on the surface lmao

"tbh the smoking gun behind the lie that is "transandrophobia is just a word for the specific experiences transmascs face" (rather than the truth which is it's a backdoor into anti-feminism) is that pretty much everybody who posts about "transandrophobia" or "transmisandry" does not post aobut transmisogyny. it's the exact same pattern you see with other "men's rights activists" -- it's supposedly meant to be about securing equality, but most MRA blogs are just whinging about protections women have, or gamergate -- most of these folks have less than zero consideration of how transmisogyny affects trans women and are totally unwilling to learn. that's not activism -- that's just sexism with a transgender coat of paint."

people think about leos demanding attention and wanting to be the light in the room but what y'all don't realize is that cancers are also ruled by a luminary planet. leo is the sun and cancer is the moon. cancers have that same quality of wanting to Be The Light, just cyclically.

$"then I think we're silly to assume it's pointless to fight now, with our clean drinking water and our mass communication and our capabilities that far outweigh things our ancestors ever could have dreamed of. they look down upon us and wonder why the fuck we're acting like things are impossible when they themselves didn't have a fraction of the rights we still have. they died for things we take for granted today. we cannot disrespect their legacy by giving up before the fight has even barely started. take care of yourself. but do not give the fuck up. we can do this. we did it before. we'll do it again."$

"we tortured people here, in this country, on this soil, for generations upon generations. they were starved and beaten and raped and forced to do unspeakable things and unspeakable things done to them. this is true of several demographics. we've done it to so many. and yet, those people still fought for their freedom.

they still woke up every day, staring down the barrel of a world that tasted like blood, staring down the miniscule chances of successfully breaking free or attaining civil rights, and decided, "I am going to fucking try, even if it kills me". those who joined the women's suffrage movement could have just sat down and stayed silent and never fought for the right to vote in the first place. they could've decided the odds were too far out of their favor that it wasn't worth it.

social progress is built painstakingly. it is a long, arduous war that is not fought in one court case, or one speech, or one protest. it is the culmination of decades of effort by millions of people. even once the battle is won, the war continues on. we still deal with sexism and misogyny to this day. we still deal with racism to this day. we still dream of a future where bigotry is eradicated, and we still find it worthwhile to push for better and better futures for humanity.

if our ancestors quit--if they simply gave up when their entire outlook was abysmal & the forces at play seemed far stronger than they'd ever be & the strength of their oppressors intimidated them into inaction--we would not be where we are today.

if our ancestors could find ways of succeeding in the fight for their rights, despite all odds, despite harrowing conditions and slaughter and disease and torture,"

obviously it is leaps and bounds more complicated than the heavily simplified version we get in intro courses, they're trying to dumb it down bc you kinda can't teach it otherwise, but oh my god

the "we just made up a bunch of stuff and tested it until we found out hey look a couple are real!" reputation is incredibly accurate

"kinetic energy is the energy caused by an object's motion" hey what if I told you that that sounds like a child wrote it

I have this little pettiness demon that lives within me and I think that's why I'm still alive ngl. I think spite is the main thing preventing me from wallowing. not in an evil way just in a "I've struggled far too much & came way too far to just give up now" way yknow
