It Really Is All Terf Shit - Tumblr Posts

It also reminds me of talking to proto-terfs circa 2012-14, like going into a conversation with a friend and bringing up the hierarchy of physical intimidation and implied threats in male spaces and how it effects lower status or marginalized men and having them roll their eyes and say something like "So you're telling me -you're- afraid men will beat -you- up?" or "So you're saying fat people or geeks are the true oppressed class?" It's exhausting.

honestly the reason I'm so confident in myself when I talk about transandrophobia being real is because I remember what it was like to be ace in 2016

any random blog could come out against aspecs at any time. didn't matter what their content or gimmick was. and if they did come out supporting us, they'd be harassed and sent death threats. it even happened to thomas fucking sanders, who was generally seen as beloved before that (at least from what I saw)

the last major aspec discourse I remember seeing in that era was when someone said "it's bad to rape asexuals". that was all they were saying. and so many people arrived from nowhere to say "actually, aces are the ones withholding sex in the first place, which is abuse, so it's fine"

and when people replied to this saying "you're condoning rape. this is rape apologia," these people doubled down, trying to find reasons why it was okay

so now when I hear "transandrophobia isn't real you don't need a word for that" I remember "aphobia isn't real you don't need a word for that" and how the latter spiraled into justifying corrective rape so easily
