Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

yeah, i think you're right. taking this to its logical extreme is TERF shit IMO. like, "anyone AMAB who rejects their default conditioning or feels it's fundamentally not who they are is secretly doing predation" is a narrative that clearly leads to a lot of ugly shit.
it's kind of like performative male/softboy misogyny discourse. the part people should hate is the misogyny (which can be delivered by men of all shapes, sizes, presentation styles, etc (getting intersectional with it, can be delivered by anyone, but men do the majority/worst of the harm)), not the softboy aspect/unconventional "performative" presentation style. though i do get how those dimensions add to the feeling of betrayal, to a feeling of being duped by someone who should supposedly "know better" and be above such harms.
(been daydrinking so if i didn't phrase the point i'm trying to make well or wholly inclusively plz go easy but also lmk so i can learn)
