🧵 to get my account permanently banned (probably)
Disclaimer: I don’t have a problem with LGB(and most T) folks.
I think I get it re: non-surgically transitioned trans-women.
It’s illegal to be a straight white male in today’s youth culture unless you’re a chad-style ally
1/
The anti-culture nerd-types that used to be shy and socially inept have figured out that they can just be “trans lesbians.” This allows them to remain culturally alt, avoid taking a D in the A, and gives them an elevated status they never would have had before.
2/
They’ve always been weird and socially awkward. They made people uncomfortable because there was a desperation that felt almost threatening behind their eyes in every interaction.
Now everyone pretends to love them just because they are “trans.”
3/
Instead of putting their heads in toilets or just ignoring them, they are fawned over. They are still socially awkward and still make everyone uncomfortable, but now the world pretends not to notice. They’ve been given confidence of popularity without the grace to manage it.
4/
As a result they’ve become emboldened to threaten any that oppose them.
Those same guys are the basement dwelling, anti-social, 4chan trolls (of all ages) that we know and revile, but now you can’t just ignore them. You have to be full of praise or lose your career.
5/
These are or will soon be bearded, masculine, balding men in women’s clothes with makeup applied with the skill of 4 year olds in mom’s bathroom. These are not trans women.
These are men that failed at being men.
They desperately need approval that they can’t achieve as men
6/
so they take their ingrained misogyny and use it to demean and mock the women they can’t have. It’s a modern day blackface. A mockery of women.
As this movement progresses, these young trans women are becoming more and more aggressive in their words and actions.
7/
More forceful about not just being addressed as women, but being considered better than biological women.
It’s no longer about acceptance, but rather dominance. Women are now cautious about speaking up and defending their womanhood.
8/
These trans women are making bio women feel diminished in power and fearful of retaliation by these former-men with male builds and male strength. Much like when walking alone at night, or living alone, or sitting at a stop light, or walking through a parking lot,
9/
a woman has always had to be on her guard against threat of men who want what they have.
I guess boys will be boys, but I’m tired.
It’s insulting and tired of pretending it’s not.
