i keep thinking about that ovarit post of terfs/gender crits talking about Butch lesbians who are too masculine or too sexual, not because it's particularly galling but because this is just what they do. they've been saying this since the 70s.

nothing in that post is new. reactionaries often create an idealized version of the past as a method of justifying their view of the present as well as their political actions. "Butch lesbians used to be so normal and good, until [things that have always occurred within the Butch community]."

they do this for a lot of reasons, partly so that they can discard the voices of cis Butch lesbians like myself who disagree with them. if they can position us as degenerates and predators who are trying so desperately to be men, they don't need to listen to us. we are tainted by the queer agenda. we have fallen from the grace of our true divine feminine nature.

they're also just reactionaries working to protect the cisheteropatriarchy and policing gender expression.

you cannot say that you are pro-gender non-conformity in women and then act like masculine women are trying to be men. it's inherently contradictory. sorry not sorry. my masculinity has nothing to do with men, this is who i am. you can't tell transmasc people "why can't you just be a masculine woman?" and then say i am trying to be a man because i am a masculine woman.

when i fuck a woman with a strapon, men have nothing to do with it. you can't recoil from completely common expressions of lesbian sexuality and say you're supporting us, and you had better not pretend you're standing up for our sexual independence. it's fucking disgusting. it's perfectly okay to not like strap-on sex for yourself, but it is not okay to build your politics around your disgust regarding how some lesbians fuck and pretend that isn't lesbophobia.

you think you're doing something new by framing us as predators? you think you're doing something new by saying we're trying to be like men? you think you're doing something new by wrinkling your nose in disgust at my sexuality?

i've known people like you my whole life, and yet here i am, utterly defiant of your expectations. don't pretend you're doing something to protect me when you're literally the source of my problems.

This is from one of the most popular terfs on this site, this is how they talk about Butches behind our backs.

Dysphoria has always existed in the Butch community, trans people have always existed in the Butch community... To use the term "normal" for the Butches you find acceptable is just absolutely laughable. To invent the term "autoandrophile" - itself a co-opting of another bullshit, fake concept - is laughable.

Terfs are so out of touch with the Butch community and our history, but they love pretending they're not. We're objects to be used, nothing more. The reality of our far more nuanced existence is an inconvenience to them.

@menalez

question for op, why did you intentionally leave out the 20+ anons i got where i was defending butches? and how is it that you managed to find this post less than an hour after it was posted when we have each other blocked, it was untagged, and it had 0 notes? perhaps you were the person harassing me on anon sending me gross messages calling butches rapists and men? how come u managed to read me saying most butches are not at all autoandrophiles & the few that are tend to be dysphoric, which is likely the underlying reason why they are aroused by the thought of having a penis instead of a vulva, as me even hating on butches to begin with?

anyways enjoy lying to ur followers ig

terfs that have been active on mcr posts.

I’m not talking “engaging in Gerard gender politics” I’m talking identifying as radfems and commenting transphobic slurs, primarily for Gerard, on posts.

I have never used transphobic slurs nor do i identify as a radfem nor have i commented on mcr posts that i can recall lol. why are u lying

ps I blocked one of the anons and all of them disappeared so it’s obvious you’re the same person. looks like you’ll have to msg me elsewhere from now on.
