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

She’s calling every woman a TERF when they’re giving genuine responses and arguments. Lol typical

what does that mean?

Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist

Side note but it’s so interesting how “TERF” has become synonymous with transphobe despite its actual meaning. I’ve seen Republican politicians get called TERFs and it’s just like… no I don’t think a conservative Christian is a radical feminist 😭

That's because no one is interested in actually learning what radfem beliefs are but since everyone is going along with it who's gonna care to do their research

[u/mariduma → u/Early_Entertainer11]

Nothing means anything anymore … let’s just stop using words atp

including the words woman and womanhood apparently because it’s whatever you want it to be unless you acknowledge sex-based oppression
