Didn’t have a chance to write up a detailed post, either on a fruit or the topic I was originally thinking about. I think they’re neat and they taste good.

    taking about assimilationists and patriarchy

    I’m tired of this genre of posts I keep seeing on other sites where they’ll say something like “trans people existing doesn’t affect you” or like “no one is asking you to change your beliefs, just to treat others with respect” or did stuff like that.

    Trans people (and queer people in general) existing IS a threat to the gender system, and so is a threat to people deeply invested in it. I DO want people to change thier deeply held beliefs. I am a radical, I hate society, I want to change it, I want to destroy patriarchy. Assimilationism is not a path to liberation.

      Real!! I understand wanting to be stealth and just be cis, but tbh I can’t help but think the trans people assimilating are losing some of the most important parts of being trans. It’s something special, not something to hide away. catgirl-salute

        Agree! I love being trans!

        And I understand wanting to be safe and wanting to not have to deal with transphbic comments, worry about violence, etc. But assimilation isn’t a real path towards that, only dismantling patriarchy is.

      “no one is asking you to change your beliefs, just to treat others with respect”

      This one in particular, like no your beliefs are literally just wrong and unfounded and should be changed. The whole “treat people with respect even if you disagree” thing is such bullshit, at least in this case. You can’t “respect” me if you think (whatever horrible transphobic thing you can imagine). Respect isn’t not calling people slurs.
