There was a Reddit comment (I think?) once where someone said their grandma believed trans women were women, because nobody would voluntarily put the societal hardships of being a woman upon themselves.
I mean, that’s straight-up truth. That’s not misogynistic at all. You give up a ton of privilege and safety going from being read as male by strangers to being read as female. And all the career disadvantages that women experience you will now experience. Plus the additional ones that come with being trans.
That’s not the kind of thing anyone would do without a damn good reason.
I know, the OOP and everyone in the comments said exactly that, and thought it was cute.
Although regarding the career disadvantages, that absolutely depends on when in life you transition. Remember, not everyone is out at 20 years old. Some might take a few decades more.
In the sense that it takes time off your job, yes. But if you have already built your career, have a high-ranking job, and can afford some time off (does gender-affirming surgery count as treatment of an illness?), the impact will be less than if you went into the market as a woman from the beginning.
See, this is why I think JK Rowling is a trans man. He has no idea why women want to be women. Cis women want to be women too. But Robert Galbraith thinks that womanhood is about wearing your oppression as a badge of honour.
Reminds me of “The guy” post from a while ago who managed to defeat someone’s eating disorder, managed to be radically trans inclusive for the weirdest reasons and a whole bunch of other stuff. Hold while I try to find it, I did save it.
Sorry for the shitty image. Had trouble finding the original that wasn’t composited over something else.
Anyway, above image reminds me of this one.
The I’m sorry girls line kills me.
Trans Inclusive Radical Misogyny
Trans women are woman and that’s why they belong in the kitchen
/tirm
“Of course trans women are women. Only a woman would be dumb enough to want to be a woman!” 🤣
It’s so ridiculous I can’t help but love it.

Unless you’re already retired, it will affect your career.

EDIT: Found it
Ok, that is bonkers. Refuses to misgender trans men because we “stole them.” XD
HE’S OUR’S NOW
Deeply misogynist allies are a new lore that I need to explore. Fucking hilarious.
Yeah, I want more trans inclusive radical misogynist stories. Like they’re so incredibly blursed and funny.
Strangely society could learn from them.
Imagine how many misogynistic transphobes out there could be transformed into just raging misogynists.
We could start healing as a people.
This is amazing.
I wanna tell this guy about My genital nullification surgery and see his reaction
Incredible. Thank you for this
