How the fuck is 'The Future is Female' supposed to be trans-exclusionary? I thought we were all meant to be thinking that trans women are women. Or was that last week?

If trans women are now too special to be merely female, Eden, Locria and Slingblade can surely bog off out of our bathrooms and go and powder their superlative, super-special noses somewhere else. And they can take Katie autogynephile temper tantrum Charm with them while they're at it.

It's always fun to laugh at people, like Captain Radish here, who intertwined pop culture references with real world politics.

I have a feeling this MIGHT be Photoshopped, based on the lighting on the paper and the text compared to that of the surroundings (or maybe I'm just dumb).

The "female" thing probably means natal woman. Or anyone with a vagina who isn't some type of nonbinary.

Of course it did in 1972. Nobody had even heard of Tumblr then, still less smol soft bean bois, and what lucky bastards they were.

The cognitive dissonance here is pretty special. Tumblr now thinks that we should be holding both the belief that trans women are women and the belief that any statement about women that does not specifically mention trans women is trans-exclusionary simultaneously. Because trans women are both completely identical to natal women and should be centred in absolutely every discussion about every aspect of womanhood ever, even menstruation, childbirth and the socialization of pre-verbal infants - and yet so different and unlike natal women that any statement about women as a group that doesn't mention trans women specifically is disgustingly transphobic and deserves to be condemned as reactionary wrongthink. So which one is it? Are they women like all the other women, or are they some super-special transcendentally feminine category all of their own? I don't care which it is, but trying to have it all ways is just absurd.

What you're saying about trans women being the same as natal women can also apply to trans men; there are A LOT of people who say that trans men shouldn't be allowed to speak on child birth or menstruation because they're dirty icky men. Yet the modern feminist doesn't give two shits if trans men are included in any positive statement about men, even going out of their way to specifically vilify them in negative posts about men. Because all men, natal or not, are absolutely the same.

In the discourse about he/him lesbians, a trans man got mad about lesbians using masculine pronouns and made some sort of image about it; I remember it was a picture of one Simpsons character, marked as "trans men", choking another marked as "he/him lesbians". People got mad because misogyny and lesbophobia, and everyone started screaming "ALL MEN ARE THE SAME REEEEEEE". Unfortunately, I don't have the post itself. But it's genuinely difficult to be a trans man on a website like Tumblr, where people are constantly waiting for you to fuck up so they can scream misogyny at you; even if you don't have male privilege in real life if you're not out of the closet, you have it online or something like that. Also, from what I understand there isn't a collective community of gay men who use she/her (besides drag queens, and even then that's a touchy subject) and I feel like if there were people would lose their shit because that's misogynistic too.

On Tumblr, you can't win no matter how many pity points you're able to gather (whether you try to or not).

EDIT : Found the image!
