anything he plays a nonpassing trans sex worker that falls for a man 20 years her senior and not actually attractive because her life is so sad that she latched onto literally the first person who showed her any kindness. The entire premise is awful but made even worse by the fact she is played by a frankly very masculine man. It plays like a joke.

To be fair that’s a very female trope. They’re literally giving him the pretty woman plot.

It still baffles me that trans people can complain about being objectified and fetishised, and have liberals rush to kiss their boo-boos, but when women do it the same people call them uptight prudes, sex-negative, misandrists, extremists, controlling etc.

Narcissism. The luxury of believing that they are a fully developed complex person with depth and that women are just noisy sexmeat who have stupid wants because the wants aren’t sex with the man thinking this.

Or that women are so invested in them because they are so important that the woman has no goals or life outside of being literally evil and daring to say no to them, the important person. Women are so vapid and empty inside that they formed a worldwide conspiracy to hurt the feelings of some specific men.

It is not narcissistic to not want to deal with being objectified and fetishised. The problem is in the movement's misogynistic bias, where women are continuously told to know their place for the sake of liberating men's dicks because women aren't seen as actually oppressed beyond just being uptight prudes, while everyone else gets to be above them in oppression rankings. Admittedly, the trans activism's notion that women are gender-affirmed by their oppression also doesn't help, but I believe it all still relies on the same idea. Trans people as a result of their mental illness generally have very twisted understanding of gender roles, so the actual extent of the patriarchy is either unknown to them because of their socialisation (this applies more to male trans people), or it's viewed through the pink lens of gender-affirmation. Liberal feminism is more concerned with affirming everyone and recontextualising the status quo as actually liberating, than making them understanding the extent of the patriarchy.

That's not to say there isn't plenty of shittiness from trans individuals trying to throw people under the bus and undermine social progress for the sake of their gender affirmation, but you can say that about any group of individuals. The bigger problem is in how a supposed feminist movement enables them to do this to the detriment of women and portrays it as a fight for basic human rights.

It is a bit, but when it gets too much it helps a lot to interact with people like yourself and peaking and being able to seperate the tra movement from individuals.

I feel the same about you and most of the other GC people here when I'm feeling a little hopeless, too. I'm really glad you're all open to talking and learning so much! (Also, happy belated B-Day! I think! Lol)
