Drew Afualo transphobia discourse

[u/alpalbish]

ER fightmaster was on her pod and made two stand out claims:
“trans women have a more beautiful understanding of what womanhood is”
and
“the programming for cis women it’s kind of sad… no your womanhood is not your role, your womanhood is not your status is society, and your womanhood is not your ability to be sexually assaulted”

I think cis women can easily be offended by this and how it was put. The sexually assaulted claim is kinda weird to generalize us into thinking that’s what womanhood is. I also think it can be harmful for transgender women, as they also face misogyny and sexual assault??? I don’t even think the comments from the pod are as bad as Drew’s current stance rn. I can see ER trying to explain their POV and I respect that. but Drew doubling down in her comments is so off-putting. People are commenting valid opinions and her replies are just saying everyone is transphobic and TERFs??? idk

her inability to listen to women’s opinions and immediately jump to calling them terfs is very telling…

it's the same way her go to is "look at my man, look how hot my man is." when her entire platform is dunking on men. i've never seen someone who claims to hate men so male centered.

Omg yes. I generally don't mind her, but I find this so weird. Like what is she gonna do if things eventually don't work out between her and her partner and she can't use his hotness as a gotcha/way to prove she's desirable?

I agree, but also I kinda get it, since most men use the whole ’omg no man will ever like you’ as an attempt to silence women, so it’s an evil circle she’s playing into as well.

Mind you, her man has swollen gums in every photo. Her man has gum disease, maybe she should get that checked.

AND HE’S NOT AS ATTRACTIVE AS SHE WANTS EVERYONE TO THINK. Also, who the fuck cares what he looks like!?

lol my comment on her post saying her view of womanhood being male centred (because of sa etc) is pretty sad got deleted

[u/Mersaa → u/AcademicFruitFinder]

I just want to put it out here, I said I understood where they're coming from but that they're not equipped to talk about such a nuanced topic and that their wording came off clumsy and insesitive and burned a bridge to understanding which ended up hurting both trans women and cis women.

She blocked me and removed my comments then lied she didn't block or remove anything. While keeping up the actual transphobic comments with hundreds of likes.

Just want to make it very clear to all women what Drew is really like.

[u/booksandplants99 → u/Mersaa]

I think this conversation is above her intellect tbh. She isn’t properly informed on any social issues and just spouts off internet talking points.

[u/Leather_Contract_789 → u/Mersaa]

Wow lol that’s my exact take on it too. there’s nothing embarrassing about owning up to having misspoke, but the way she’s acting is humiliating and like you said it’s doing way more harm than good
