Back when I started this blog, when I was still a minor (16), and I knew nothing about feminism except that it was for women’s rights, a very prominent terf took me under her wing and began indoctrinating me. At the time I thought I just had a nice online friend, but now that I’m a bit older, wiser, and more educated, I can see that she was grooming me. Not in a sexual way, but she was grooming me to become a terf and stay away from the inclusive circles that I’m in now.
Please reblog this for the sake of your young/new followers. Before you start following or interacting with a blog, check who it is! Terfs are scary, hateful, and dangerous - mostly to trans women but also to nb people, trans men, and people on the aro/ace spectrum. Please don’t get pulled into their circles.
This can be extended to any group of people that are exclusionary in nature, I was groomed by truscum and it did a lot of damage to me accepting my own gender identity. Please be careful with who you trust and try your best to think critically about everything people say that even vaguely comes off as weird or wrong to you. I wish that i had done that.
