Interesting. But no.
Systematic patriarchal abuse =/= violence.
Violence is a tool used against transgressive men, but get this,
women were never going to keep to the rules anyway, because BIOLOGY.
It’s why sex-selective abortions are out of control in certain societies.

If you’re going to be born female, you’re going to be born WRONG.
Please understand.
The system of patriarchy doesn’t need you to be born male, it needs you to become compliant. That is why it punishes gay men. Not because it doesn’t like gay sex, but because it doesn’t like the

idea of a man who might let the side down and not enforce control over a woman.
That’s why it prefers it’s gay men to trans themselves out of manhood and into compliant, stereotype-embracing transwomanhood. Iran shows you the way.
When you condemn women fighting the patriarchy as

Terfs or accuse them of bigotry, you are demonstrating your compliance with a system that values appearance above all else. It knows it is weak, which is why it uses violence. It’s had to use violence for thousands of years precisely because it is weak. It is ever on the verge of

crumbling. It has to use wars and poverty and racism and corruption and Frankenstein science to sustain itself.
And it absolutely couldn’t do it without the compliant women and gay men who enforce its shallow view of humanity and the world.
God, I’m tired.
Are you not tired?
