“Trans men are just men, but all women are property of men, therefore trans women are sneaky, deceitful predators trying to trick both innocent men and women.”
This is all just an extension of our fucked up patriarchal culture. It’s not that trans men are forgotten, it’s that their outward masculinity makes them irrelevant. They are no longer potential mates for the cishet males and therefore not “dangerous.”
Trans women, however, are a “problem” for those same reasons. Their femininity means they could be targeted as a potential mate for a cishet male, so to the patriarchal privileged they are by nature of existing “deceptive, duplicitous queers.” At the same time, any remaining masculinity in appearance or even the idea that a person could have a penis makes them a threat to other women, because other women are the property of other men. Hence the “trans women are just rapist men using drag to trap women in bathrooms” fallacy that the right loves so much.
I apologize for the window into that psychology. A shower may be warranted.
I can't even comprehend the thought process. It looks to stupid
When you grow up in a rigid world you come to rely on the rules as the foundation you build your beliefs on.
When that foundation starts to crack because it was built on unstable ground you either fight it and attempt to patch it, praying the ground will eventually settle for the last time or you accept the fault and rebuild on solid ground.
Then if your neighbors are doing the same thing you have a community running around patching each others foundations. Many hands make light work of hate.
It's a question of how emotionally invested in that foundation you are. At what point does the ever increasing maintenance cost more than building new? Does the community make it cheap and easy enough that starting over seems pointless? Or does the community make starting over prohibitively expensive?
No empathy for them here. Its just to say there is a twisted logic in it, at least for those who hold the least power in that structure. I'll never understand the behaviors of the powerful.
