Fellow white transfem here, I definitely agree that there’s a time and place for unaffected people to advocate for a minority.

That said, if I’m being charitable to OP, there are absolutely times when minorities get talked over in ways that really suck.

I once attended a listening circle/support group that came together as a piece of transphobic legislation was likely to pass in my state. I went, expecting a good mix of trans folks and allies, and that we’d be coming together to vent our frustrations and figure out a way forward.

But what I got instead was a room full of mostly cis people, talking over the trans people in the room, and being all sad and morose, like the bill in question was already a foregone conclusion. Like the trans people in the room were a lost cause to mourn, rather than worth helping.

And that… Sucked! That bill didn’t pass, but it wasn’t because any of the cis people in that room did anything to help.

Pretty sure this is fetish content…

Her*, (unless there’s a Chris-chan detransition arc that I’m unaware of) but yeah it’s a wild and honestly pretty sad story. Chris-chsn is obviously someone who needs a lot of help, but instead was serially harassed by the internet’s weirdest little freaks

Oh gosh, lol

Sonichu has so much… Let’s say intertextual baggage, that it, more than a lot of art, is inseparable from the, uh…art and art criticism, that it helped spawn.

Like, more than Sonichu itself, I think the 100 part Chris-chan documentary is more interesting as bad art. It comes out of this incredibly toxic online millieu of harassment and stalking, that ends up saying more about the community that birthed it, then it does about its nominal subject

Art can be hot fucking garbage in ways that are interesting and worth exploring

You’ve clearly never had a truly great soup

What, and you think I haven’t? And you think I’m not one? The thing is, you never know who is behind the keyboard,

That’s perfectly fair

but that’s fine because the point is finding an excuse to an asshole, LGBT edition.

I find it troubling that you care more about me being mean, than people on Lemmy being casually transphobic. I don’t want people like OP here. That’s the priority.

I’ve had plenty of perfectly nice and pleasant conversations with people here on Lemmy. The minute I see some transphobic garbage (or any other bigotry for that matter), I’m going to shout that shit down.

“Boo hoo, the put upon minority was mean to me wahh”

This is how you sound. In my real life, I do actual trans organizing work. Being shitty to transphobes on Lemmy is swinging the proverbial bat around to try keep the Nazis out of the bar.

Not “enemies” in any ontological sense, but there’s plenty of casual transphobia on Lemmy… Like in this thread, and I have no interest in letting that shit slide

Damn right I’m mean to transphobic dipshits! Suck my gock, you triggered loser, lmaoo
