According to @graceelavery, this graphic of a gun and “Shut the Fuck Up TERF,” sent mainly from members of the male sex, most of them being heterosexual, to members of the female sex, can be read among “any number of other feminist evocations of hyperfeminine violence.” (1/10)

But this “both sides” reading seems to miss the fact that, if it is so that mainly heterosexual males who see themselves as “women,” most of whom also see themselves as “lesbians,” do send it to actual women, especially actual lesbians, it seems, by default, antifeminist. (2/10)

Those of the female sex, almost always marked as “TERFs,” are not the ones perpetrating violence, including the acts of homophobic male violence taking the lives of almost always Black and brown homosexual members of the male sex cited as true causalities of “transphobia.” (3/10)

Here is the author of ‘Histories of the Transgender Child,’ whose argument that “binary gender is a historically Western product and weapon of ongoing settler colonialism and anti-Blackness” ignores how gender as a hierarchy preceded both settler colonialism and chattel slavery.

Another problem with this person’s argument is that gender as a hierarchy, that is, male dominance and female subordination, has existed in patriarchal cultures around the globe since at least Ancient Mesopotamia, which, by the way, goes way back—millennia, not just centuries.

Moreover, it stinks of a “noble savage” mindset to misrepresent all Indigenous cultures as “beyond the gender binary.” While some were gynocentric, others were androcentric. Some had far less rigid gender roles, while others had far more rigid ones. All of that actually matters.
