is this about you replying to me

Like I come across it most when someone is trying to deflect criticisms of transmisogyny but obviously our exp's are gonna differ

Nah you're good and you're allowed to disagree/correct if you want to. The real trouble is its potential/usage as a not-all-men thing but that shit still fucking sucks for you

Tbh bioessentialism is a much MUCH better term to the point that "gender essentialism" feels like an intentional inversion of it.

I mean the critique has basically been at least 60% a "not all men" trojan horse from the word "go"

Exactly that, yes.

when, not if, sorry.

Personally, I generally see Feinberg, especially SBB, primarily promoted by trans mascs rather than explicitly transfeminist spaces and that, in either case, the transness is forefronted. She's credited with helping to popularise the word "transgender" lol. I'm sure the discourse gets messy, mind.

Sorry, all things to one side, I don't think I've seen Feinberg brought up in a non-trans context in years at this point. Are you sure this happens?

I think I've got most of the participants blocked at this point. Have barely seen anything

What have I missed?

Open the WI to all genders and direct complaints to the transphobes.

I know it's all fun and games to do some performative Anglophobia and to point out all that's wrong with it. You do not need to lecture me on any of its evils that were always present. It's still a home that is lost to me, probably forever. And that is something that I can't just snidely sneer at.

I just do not know what kind of way forward is even possible at this stage. I truly don't. The UK is host to a failed culture on top of its failed systems. It's horrible watching people become so much worse. I do not know where the bottom is, either. That's the scariest part of all.
