@newsguyusa @JackEnrod this comment reads as very transphobic and gender essentialist, which is effectively carrying water for the very people you intend to criticise.
Mockery of trans women, when we should stand by and aid them, is something the far right wants to normalise.
@newsguyusa @JackEnrod no, you (inadvertently, I presume) invoked the trope that implies that one isn't a "true" woman unless one has a cunt
I was alerting you to the fact that this trope exists
@newsguyusa @JackEnrod the thing is that by using these jokes, it's easy to inadvertently hurt trans people by reinforcing the notion that we can be reduced to our genitals.
Sure, it's splash damage, not aimed at us, but it all adds, fragment by fragment, to normalising cultural norms that do harm on a number of levels.
And in the end, she is unlikely to ever see your post. But random trans people already have, and many of us have already swallowed an overdose of this kind of medicine.
Thanks for listening, and I do appreciate that your intentions are good.
@newsguyusa @JackEnrod and thanks for sticking with and reading my explanations!
I genuinely appreciate your effort
