  • the whole “it was an AI post anyways” line is so fucking dismissive and it really cements why so many of us cared about it in the first place - it hurt to read. It hit sore spots that were invisible to a lot of other people, and those people who didn’t see those sore spots continued to hit those same sore spots harder throughout the discussion. So what if it was an AI post? That actually doesn’t matter at all. It opened wounds, that’s the part that matters, deflecting to it being AI is just another way to dismiss the feelings of men for being irrational.


  • The Will to Change, though imperfect, is one of the most important pieces of theory I have ever read

    I understand where you’re coming from and I felt the pain you’re feeling. I’m transfem and this blatant double standard men face in regards to the complete dismissing of their emotions - and having it applied to me as well, but not cis women - is easily one of the most painful ways I get misgendered, not the least of which because of how often I get it from “allies” and other queer people. Cisgendered men are often, uncomfortably, better people to talk about some types of big feelings with than cisgendered women, even queer ones. Shit’s whack. angery
