      It definitely is. “Men wanting to be women” kinda breaks the idea, that men are inherently better, since who would want to be something less? And being able to jump from one category to another, diminishes the clear cultural borders between “men” and “women”. Both of these bring up uncomfortable feelings and thoughts, about gender roles, which causes a lot of people go defensive, as their simple worldview is threatened. And that fear turns to hate.

    100% agree with this, though I’d be far less charitable and would stop at “TERFs need to shut the fuck up”.

    This is really sweet, gosh.

    Honestly, these are similar feels to when I see trans girls so giddy over girly things. I love when others want to join the woman club, it’s pretty dang cool over here :3

      I didn’t realise that cis people could experience gender euphoria until I saw trans women delighting in being a woman. Being in community with trans folk has done wonders for helping me to work through my internalised misogyny, and made me a much better feminist

      What are even girly things, though?

      Edit: Genuine question, although a bit rhetorical too, and in good faith; I’m just a bit of a gender abolitionist myself so…

      Edit 2: Wtf lol, I typed "fightx when I tried to say “faith” lmaoo

        Anything that a girl likes!

        For a more serious answer - I was referring to stereotypical things that are seen as worth less because women are primarily interested in them. My own internalized misogyny kept me away from the color pink for a long time as an example.

        You have a salient point that nothing is really “girly” or “boy-y” and it should be seen that way more often.

      Yeah, some girls have penises now, what of it? You gonna insist they get all the surgery before they count? I’m still a woman even after I yeeted my uterus, and so is my mastectomy sister. Womanhood is in the soul.
