this gives me hope
i posted a single line saying "this is a very sad day for women's rights" and the first comment I got was "and for trans ppl" and the second comment I got was "and for muslims". I removed both of them. Can I just post about women's rights on a plattform without anyone having to add shit about the alphabet community or other minorities when I am aiming to center women in my own post?
Hate me if you wish but I really don't care about your blue haired non binary self not being able to access whatever unnecessary body-mutilating surgery when there is women bleeding out in parking lots, going into sepsis and not receiving medical help with a dead fetus inside of them - and no, i don't care about muslims not being able to enter a country when the lives of so many women are at stake - which in my opinion seems like the larger issue at hand when compared to- or am I wrong here??
Oh and when removing the comments I told them politely to please share their activism elsewhere because this was a post explicitly about women's rights and OF FUCKING COURSE the alphabet person had to send me a DM screeching "TrAns PeOpLe aRe WoMEn tOo". No they're not, shut up.
imo this shows me that even with people who do initially agree with this statement of "this is a sad day for women's rights" do not give it enough importance because they still need to add other things to the mix when it is a post clearly centering women and *women only*.
But yeah... women's spaces are usually not respected so it's not much of a surprise, is it.
