another day, another YouTuber bringing up Libet's wrist flicking research to argue against free will while completely ignoring the body of research that contradicts and critiques Libet. I'm not taking a stance on free will I'm taking a stance on video essayists doing a lot of cherry picking

phonetic pronunciation is a social construct

A cis guy has no business whatsoever opining on these matters

personally I don't think men have any room to comment on women like that

he's never seen a trans man or nonbinary person stand up for our/themselves bc then we/they just stop being trans to him. and whiteness has nothing to do with his dumb bullshit idea of "male socialization", and ykw? i think he knows that. stochastic terrorists of a feather, etc. -O

It's honestly incredible how the "male socialisation" bullshit went from being a pillar of nonsensical radfem theory to now being basically something cis male chasers say to any trans woman who talks back to them. It's kinda emblematic of just how useless it was.

incredible work to both accuse a bunch of trans women of being too emotional but also of acting like men, and then following up by saying but hey, some of you genderfreaks are the good ones, you and I are on the same side.

It is a heavy burden to stand outside of other groups of people and judge whether they have done the work to stop thinking like me

this is what happens when you "educate" these people without changing the structural base that empowers them

1. Say "white trans women" cause it's cheap and erases trans girlies of color. ✅ 2. Accuse trans women of being "male-coded behavior" and using "AMAB" cause you don't see us as women. ✅ 3. Coddle trans men and non-binary people as the smol beans who have to deal with the big scary tranny girls. ✅

turning a big dial that says Transmisogyny but looking back at my followers and shaking my head the entire time so they know i dont approve

Cis men posting about how the trans women he's harassing need to 'unlearn their male socialization' is super gross every time I encounter it. These people aren't mad at 'male privilege'. They're men who are upset the people they assume should be submissive fuckmeat are giving them backtalk.

guy who has man privelege: trans women are bad because they act like they have man privelege

Let's say for a SPLIT second this is true. Shut up? That is NOT a problem we need to solve right now? Like. It's not a thing, and if it were, it's not a thing? Public executions of trans people is right around the corner. (I mean, it's happening, but technically it's still illegal) BIGGER PROBLEMS

Matt continually radiates the most "guy the bartender makes a point to warn you about" energy on all of bluesky, and that is no small feat!

Matt Baldwin's all-consuming misogyny and wormy rage produces a not-so-rare case of both the "finally, a kind of woman I'm ALLOWED to abuse!" and the "finally, a kind of woman I'M allowed to abuse!" motivations existing simultaneously in one fucking asshole.

idk what a matt baldwin is but this is nonsense 👍 incoherent but clearly transmisogynist and when you type “with heavy reluctance: as an outsider” your account should be automatically and forcibly shut down

Alexander the Great died on a cloudy day, so it's pretty cool that modern astronomy lets us reconstruct the stars above Babylon that day. As he lay dying in Nebuchadnezzar's palace, Alexander could not see this patch of western horizon for all his power. (But we can.)

I always appreciate how Drew/Genetically Modified Skeptic approaches these topics. And this video in particular is not something new but I like the way he puts it all together youtu.be/xFxhCZd9BUU?...

male socialization isn't about whether it's real or not. it's a way to threaten trans women into social compliance. it's gender policing. When someone tells you that you are acting like a man they are not actually telling you that you are acting like a man they are telling you to be more submissive

I love that we can be murdered or that the president says that he's going to hunt us down as terrorists but we've got people deeply concerned about trans women's childhoods not being platonically ideally like cis girls. maybe stop arguing about how many trans girls can dance on the head of a pin

This is a point I make every time this discourse comes back around but genuinely if you think sex and socialization are 100% immutable and determine who we are as people our entire lives then why even transition. By this logic conversion therapy would be a valid option.

My favorite weird right wing belief is "signaling" "The demons have to tell you they are demons if you ask, but they do it in code so you don't understand it by giving they/them pronouns." I don't know, I kind of feel like if demons wanted to lie, they would just lie!

Help my bestie out, y'all , she finally got medical help and got her car fixed, she just needs a bit more help so she can make it through to the end of April unscathed. It'll be a month before I can help her again.

this is important and it's not as pessimistic as the thumbnail implies youtu.be/JLubu0orxPw?...

thinking about the times I said silence of the lambs was transmisogynistic And I got absolutely furious responses accusing me of picking fights and lying for clout and honestly other horrible accusations just for noticing what was blatant in the script

thinking about the opposition to prescribing trans women progesterone when it treats anxiety pretty effectively

hold on www.ign.com/articles/leg...

I'm sorry but what youtu.be/VIxA9hPv27k?...

palestinian journalist posting on twitter that his bluesky account was immediately taken down purely because he was in gaza. all palestinian accounts are assumed to be spam.

It's not for everyone, but progesterone greatly helps my anxiety. Also? More neurodivergent and/or traumatised people need to know about agomelatine. It shuts down the (seemingly autism-related) rumination loop behind some types of anxiety and depression. It also decreases nightmares from cPTSD.
