TDOV reminder:

Trans men and nonbinary people exist.

@tess Do some people think only trans women exist on the gender spectrum?

I assume this is one of those #xkcd2501 things, isn't it...

@rogue_cells @tess

Actually Yes . . I think much of MAGA has no idea. Folks just don't think far enough to consider such a thing. I had more than a few tell me I didn't know what i was talking about. <|8*)

@rogue_cells @tess this is related to the sexualization of fem people. See the Epstein files regarding this subject. They want hairless sex slaves (cis-f & mtf) not hairy spoiled product (ftm).

@rogue_cells @tess If you subscribe to the “We cAn alWAyS teLL” attitude, you tend to look for non-conventionally attractive (read: small, white and thin) women because what good are women if they’re not attractive to you, and if you’re going after trans women, you can even feel good about protecting bit-uh, women, from them…whether or not said women want you to.

Can’t really do that with trans men because why would you need to defend cis men; what are they, girls?

@rogue_cells @tess Or, in other words: trans men are treated like women in that they’re not taken seriously, and trans women are treated like men in that their “deviance” is pathologized and sexualized.

@rogue_cells @tess
This is one of the top things they believe is destroying their whole world and they didn't even do enough reading to find out how it works?

I really hadn't considered that they might just... be doing a bad job... as in they're not even be good at being transphobes? ... If you start from "there's only boy/girl" ... surely the first question when somebody mentions the idea would be "if one can trans a gender, can it be transed in both directions?"
