“trans women benefit from their ‘male’ upbringing” cool thesis, now use it to explain why trans women are the most impoverished trans group, 321 go
@badambulist You obviously haven't seen the latest research! /crayon sounds/
@badambulist One of the pqrts is me!! It is not negative its just more to the personal side
@badambulist Almost every transgender woman who's opened up to me about their childhood has mentioned serious bullying/outright abuse because they were performing boyhood "incorrectly", sometimes before they knew themselves. I was stunned to hear how similar some of what they had gone through
@badambulist patriarchy wants revenge on us for rejecting it
@badambulist remember when that one guy saw a graph showing trans women were murdered at a much greater rate than any other demographic and he thought “hmmmm that doesn’t sound right” and made his own version of the graph based on what he thought should be correct where trans men were higher
@badambulist The "benefits" that people project onto trans women seem to be completely non systemic though. Like I'll hear terfs and terf lapdogs talk abt trans women's confidence or places in STEM, but I feel like the latter comes from memes more than anything
@badambulist why do people wanna play oppression olympics so bad ..? its extremely obvious that trans women struggle disproportionately to other groups, why not focus on how u can help trans women? idk
