you haven't said anything. I asked you if you had anything other than "nuh-uh" and you keep demonstrating you don't.
Why should I? Misogyny is misogyny. Transphobia is transphobia. It's tautological. Suggesting that transphobia is secretly something else requires a high burden of proof.
I love that you used tautology as an argument like that's at all supposed to be convincing. Is that your contribution to the any discussion about whether X is Y?
"hotdog is hotdog. sandwich is sandwich. ooga booga." wow thanks dude very enlightening. people didn't know that different words were different, and I guess humans can't be animals because it's two different words.
It's not "secretly something else". It's obviously and blatantly misogyny.
Why do you think any time you hear something about transphobia it's about a woman? Why does no one talk about how trans men should use the women's restroom, or should compete in women's sports? Why do cis women constantly get harassed and falsely accused of being trans, even in high profile cases like Imane Khelif, by major outlets and leading transphobes like jowling kowling rowling?
because transphobia is rooted in misogyny, and is an extension of it. think about it: why would anyone give a shit about what people say and do about their gender if they didn't have strict opinions about gender roles and didn't see women as the "weaker sex"?
they wouldn't give a shit. being a man or woman literally wouldn't make a difference if they believed in gender equality. therefore they don't. and guess what, the inequal nature they believe in does not have women on top of the hierarchy.
JK Rowling: "am I a joke to you?"
yes she is, which is why I LITERALLY USED HER AS MY ONE SPECIFIC EXAMPLE OH MY FUCKING GOD WILL YOU PLEASE READ WITH YOUR EYES AND REGISTER THE WORDS WITH YOUR BRAIN BEFORE YOU START TYPING JKR IS A MASSIVE FUCKING MISOGYNIST
So we're back to "you can't just call anything you don't like misogyny".
I truly don't understand your angle. There's plenty of actual misogyny to rage against without also appropriating the struggles of trans people.
first of all trans women are women, so misogyny affects them just the same. there's no appropriation here.
second of all, it's not "anything I don't like", she's a fucking misogynist. literally accused a woman, a cis woman at that, not that it matters to me but it ostensibly should to the likes of her, of being a man for looking a certain way. of course it doesn't matter to her though because she's a misogynistic cunt. even after knowing she was cis she didn't apologize or take back anything she said. she hates women.
I would say read her books but I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy so maybe listen to someone who has suffered through them and has something to say about her misogyny.
What is this All Lives Matter bullshit rofl
literally nothing to do with all lives matter. I haven't seen so many brain broken takes in a row in so long.
Or you might just be an idiot
Stop minimizing transphobia and misogyny both by equating them.
that's not minimizing either. you're just taking offense for no reason. saying hotdog is a sandwich wouldn't take anything away from either term.
