The drawbacks men suffer from under patriarchy are also all directly linked to how they’re broken and molded for their role as opressors. The suffering of men under the patriarchy is inseperable from how they are trained to inflict suffering upon others. There is no non-reactionary activism for men’s rights that isn’t just a specific angle of feminism, the one that is concerned with understanding and overcoming toxic masculinity.
damn i need that trans cactus
Ok, i get it now and i largely agree that a certain “do i want her or do i want to be her” mood is extremely common among cis women as well, and i particularly agree that transness isn’t something to be diagnosed in the first place. I also think that both of these arguments are among the many, many good reasons to discard the term AGP in its entirity. I just read the quoted part as you actually arguing within AGP discourse, the way it’s worded is just a bit ambiguous.
hot take but I think being “agp” is not bad or pathological any more than being trans is.
Maybe we can just leave this AGP shit out of conversations about trans women entirely. Nothing is gained from using a harmful, completely fucked, brainwormed gatekeeping term and applying it to normal human behavior.
Blanchard is a quack, his ideas could never be backed up with any clinical evidence, there is nothing that indicates a meaningful difference in the transness of straight and lesbian trans women and bisexuals or asexuals do not even exist in his model. The entire concept is a lesbophobic gatekeeping plot by a horny chaser bastard and if you come across a psychologist that still believes this, it’s a good reason for trans women never to be alone in the same room with him when the door is closed. I’m unfortunately not joking, the last remaining Blanchardian in my state is a massive sex pest. These are the kinds of people we’re talking about.
But let’s assume for a moment they are correct and liking girls makes me a confused fetishistic man. Given that the women i date are all transbians as well, that would make all of us gay men. Which would in turn make all of us HSTS. Which would then make all of us lesbian. Which …
You see how none of this crap makes any sense at all?
I agree with her, queer organizing on a platform that is openly, expressly transphobic is just an awful idea. There’s already been cases where Musk gave fascists mod rights with free access to people’s DMs and everything. It’s hazardous af to be there.
I think the best solution is if you two break up and your GF joins a revolutionary catgirl polycule.
