#shut the fuck up terf
Don’t reblog any of those ‘universal girlhood’ posts without checking op first 9 times out of 10 they’re transphobic in some way
misogyny has become so acceptable nowadays
universal experience every fucking girl (female child) had to experience the moment she realized men stare at her body, that her body could be used as a weapon against her at any moment, that she was something men saw as something to conquer and violate simply because she was born a girl, she is forever traped in her female body, that her childhood ended right there and her male peers didnt have to worry abt this crap. and no faggot ass tranny has ever had to experience this as a child
*makes valid arguments about oppression and misogyny*
*proceeds to ruin it by calling people violent, hateful slurs*
a) that use of the F slur…wow. Idc if they are also gay, using that slur to insult someone like that is homophobic as fuck. They prove my url more and more true with every passing day.
b) as an afab person, this person really sounds like she has some trauma she hasn’t properly dealt with that needs it. Like, I’m not even trying to say that mockingly. This is just…yikes. She obviously really hates being afab bc of trauma (which…I think is true of a lot of TERFs and they project that on to trans men) and, in all seriousness, that’s sad.
Did that person forget that ugly women exist? I’ve never once had a man show interest in me, much less see me as some kind of conquest. Like I spent a large chunk of my life wanting men to be mysoginistic and gross to me because no one ever had and I felt ugly because of it. Making that a prime part of your “female” experience is not only unhealthy, it’s also isolating for women who didn’t experience it. Genuinely from the bottom of my heart talk to a therapist about that, something seriously bad is going on inside your head. You don’t have to resign yourself to being miserable all the time.

This. You’ve put it into words.
As a kid, I wanted boys and men to hit on me bc I had been made to feel ugly and I wanted someone to make me not feel that way. I was literally a baby lesbian so it had nothing to do with attraction to them either, it was about the validation.
I ended up being groomed online by grown men bc of this. Bc they made me feel pretty.
Misogyny shouldn’t be a “universal woman experience”. It should be something we comfort each other through, absolutely, but not something we base our womanhood on. That’s absolutely not healthy at all and that’s absolutely what is going on here / what TERFs perpetuate.
It also reduces the female experience to nothing but suffering which really isn’t true.
It sucks sometimes absolutely. But every other gender comes with baggage too. It’s not “misogyny” to tell people to avoid toxic radfem rhetoric.
Happy pride, y’all
