they're going to blame this on us.

when Roe v. Wade gets overturned, they'll say it's the result of trans activism. we tried to take tolerance too far, and this backlash is our fault

shooting themselves in the foot while yelling "look what you made me do"
listen: reproductive freedom is SO IMPORTANT. it's the foundation of feminism. everything else needs to follow from that

if detransitioning could somehow secure safe abortion access, I would. I'm not sure I could survive like that anymore, but the sacrifice would be worth it
so never fucking tell me I don't care about women

I'm trying to fight for ALL of us, even the ones who hate me for existing

there's no reason for us to be at each other's throats. we are being DIVIDED so that we can be CONQUERED
there are lots of ways to justify transphobia. are we an unnatural abomination? do we threaten conservative family values? are we scary bathroom predators? do we somehow reinforce an oppressive patriarchal gender binary?

but all of these narratives serve the same fascist agenda
why do you think so many different kinds of bigotry are on the rise at the same time? why are so many oppressed and marginalized groups being targeted?

because rich white men want to secure their grip on the world. there are too many of us, and they're afraid of what we could do
but as long as they keep us separate, they have nothing to fear from us

the very fact of our marginalization lets them use our mistrust of each other to stop us from banding together

this is a tried and tested method of controlling a population. it gets results.
so no matter how much you hate trans people, when laws start getting passed that exclude us from public life and take away our medical care and our bodily autonomy, it's not a victory for feminism

it's a victory for fascism, and you are not going to like where this road ends.
