being chronically ill with one of the worst and most ignored diseases known to man, I can tell you that being a "lifelong patient" is universally hated. I just want to live (despite living in terrible pain).

[@DreyriAldranaris36]

I’m really sorry. Maybe one day they’ll find a cure or something so that you’re not in terrible pain anymore. Anyways, there is a lot of joy in life, despite the pain. You make the world a better place by being in it, so always keep fighting.

[@ur-local-lesbian-comrade]

I understand what you’re going through. While I was lucky enough to get a diagnosis and get treatment that has helped alleviate my pain, my mom has been sick for decades with an unknown long term illness and has been to multiple hospitals and doctors who still don’t know what is going on with her. the way people dismiss her or treat her as if she isn’t doing enough for her family/health/career/etc is really gross and I’m sure it’s difficult to explain to others how your condition affects you

[@lwitte8857]

I have a variety of health issues that are never going away and the fear that people have about being a “lifelong patient” is profoundly selfish AND self aggrandizing. If they had x, y or, z they would magically be physically, cognitively, emotionally etc. etc strong enough to overcome whatever diagnosis comes their way. People who have never experienced chronic illness are the ones MOST certain that “it isn’t that bad”, “taking chemicals everyday is so much worse”. “ if you just changed your lifestyle it would go away” They are so certain of this because the idea that they could suddenly become chronically ill/disabled for the rest of their life terrifies them. And they would rather demonize vulnerable people than face the fact that reality is scary.

[@jackdill6556]

I guess they truly don’t realize the sort of wider thinking they are doing - in essence saying that the people that cost the society the least and “produce” (read: produce personal wealth) the most are the only valuable members effectively gives the rich and powerful the right to determine who gets to live what life, in a very eerie resemblance of feudalism. People are no longer tied to the land, but what money they can squeeze out of it or other people. Instead of noble titles inherited by bloodline it’ll be titles and deeds passed on via inheritance, creating an even more rigidly entrenched feudal class system. Kinda horrifying

[@alienillusi0n]

A few years ago I was swept into the radfem/terf community. I had just stopped doing sex work and was extremely traumatised, seeking an anti-sex work community to cope and get validation. These anti-sex work communities were almost always radical feminists and terfs. I started identifying as a radfem, but not a terf (at first). Then I was assaulted and abused by a trans woman. Prior to that event I openly hated terfs and gender critical people, but the validation from the radfem community I was apart of seemed to help me cope with my trauma. I started becoming more and more radicalised due to my traumas, and suddenly I was deep into the terf community. I knew that my assault didn’t represent all trans women and I really tried to repress my growing prejudiced thoughts, but my fear and dislike of trans women grew. Transphobic rhetoric from the terf community combined with my trauma radicalised me, even though I knew deep down it was wrong, but I felt like these terfs were the only people who understood me. But after going to therapy and accidentally befriending a trans woman (who is now one of my best friends), I left the community feeling disgusted with myself. I’m sorry for the essay lol, but I really wanted to share my experiences with the community. It’s scary how fast these extremists can manipulate and radicalise you. For me, it only went a few months going from anti-terf liberal SJW to joining legitimate terf communities. I’m so ashamed of it now, but I want people to see a glimpse of how these communities work.

"leftist" politics in general centers yt, educated, middle-class, straight people & yet offers no support... I see exactly why it happens.

19:40 time stamp - as someone who's disabled. All i can think of is like.... I get that she's focusing on trans people "being a drain" but that can easily be said for those of us with chronic conditions like.... Am i supposed to grow my own mold to harvest my own insulin or something so im "not a drain" because i have a chronic condition????? No like. We have the resources to keep people healthy and alive. Its not a drain. Because we, us trans people or people with chronic conditions go on to live our beautiful lives. We deserve life as much as anyone else. I mean shit she's literally wearing glasses - is she not "a drain" because she'll constantly need to update her prescription and get new lenses and frames over the course of her life? Thats one of those things that annoys me about people like this. My father (really my family lol) is this way so i deal with it a lot. They make these weird, shitty blanket statements without thinking all the way through of what it is theyre actually saying and what the ramifications of such policies or ideas would be. Good example, i have this aunt who runs an electrical business. She once had this whole discussion with me about how, in her opinion, "Public schools should be banned. If you cant afford education then you shouldn't be allowed to be educated" And it was so baffling to hear her spit that out because. 1.) she sent her own children to our local public schools so ma'am wtf And 2.) the business she runs? Most of her electricians are guys who have gone exclusively to public school, and then attended a trade school. So With her little "ew poor people shouldnt be allowed to get an education" she'd basically make it to where she'd be incapable of finding anyone to hire And also like. Why??? Would you want people to be uneducated???? What is the purpose of that? And it's not like shes part of the 1% or anything. Shes middle class in the middle bumfuck nowhere south. So its like It just These people make my head hurt because nothing they say makes any fucking sense

[@RyanTosh]

The idea that people who need more resources than others are some sort of drain or waste is just such a shitty position. Like that's what healthcare is supposed to be for. "To each according to their need" and all. We're supposed to all be in this together, that's what society and government are for, and that necessarily involves helping some more than others. That's a feature, not a bug.

[@jimmyjohnny5661]

It's that trans isn't a medical issue, but a psychological one. That's the difference. With the no public schools idea poor people would work and then go to school and private schools would compete leading to cheaper school. Right now the public schools force money from people using the government and they don't have to compete. Public school also steals time and large amounts of money could even be given to poor people instead.

I thought of Pakistani activists, scholars, lawyers, theologians, politicians, and laypeople that habitually allied themselves with feminist causes. I thought of women who stand up for equality and gender justice and, for their commitment to those ideals, deal with much harsher realities on the street and at home than middle-class American women do, to.

[@ConvincingPeople]

One minor point not touched on here which is extremely interesting: Jennifer Bilek actually worked as a lawyer for Deep Green Resistance, and a lot of her rhetoric is rooted in that of the more insular and bigoted end of the anarcho-primitivist (and greater green anarchist) movement which DGR emerged out of, where the critique of large-scale industrial civilisation as unsustainable and fundamentally destructive both to the planet and to human thriving, rather than expanded to account for the needs of those whose situations benefit to some extent from technological advancements such as transgender and disabled people, contracts to treat those groups as problems to be solved, often in implicitly or explicitly exterminationist terms. The paranoia about technology, in particular, echoes the primitivist-adjacent theorist and terrorist Ted Kaczynski's fixation on the dangers of biotech in his infamous manifesto, as well as his reactionary attitudes towards trans people, which while perhaps rooted in his own fraught relationship with gender were nevertheless quite venomous. I will caution that regardless of how one might feel about the implications of their beliefs, far from all anti-civ writers are so ableist and transphobic; there is a reason that the likes of Lierre Keith, Jennifer Bilek and DGR cofounder Derrick Jensen were drummed out of anarchist spaces, and part of that was other anprims calling them out for their bigotry. But the stereotype among anarchists of the unhinged transphobic ableist anprim exists for a reason, and Ted K and DGR are big parts of that.

@@lily_lxndrThere's actually video on this platform of a 2014 panel entitled "Strategies for Revolution" on which Bilek appeared as one of two representatives of Deep Green Resistance New York (who linked to the video on their blog) alongside members of OWS Zapatista Solidarity and several other small organisations in a similar vein. More recently, she's appeared on DGR's Green Flame podcast and has seen her 11th Hour blogposts recirculated on their official website. That said, recalling precisely where I was first tipped off about this connection is difficult, in part because it seems like a lot of Bilek's pre-conspiracy blogging history in environmentalist activism seems patchily recorded online, either through deliberate obfuscation or link decay or simply because most of her activity at the time was offline.

Which, that too is an extension of mental health. But I get the feeling with her language of "sane" world she'd prefer us all to go back to electroshock therapy and lobotomies anyway, shut us in an "asylum" so they can forget we exist. Despicable.

Pretty sure the cows can't poop enough fertilizer without big cow still being a thing.

[@darkstarr984]

That is so bizarre. Like… was she trying to be an environmentalist who only eats meat from hunted animals? I don’t see how it makes any sense because vegan is basically a statement of “I do not use any animal products that will cause any harm to an animal” for a variety of possible reasons. It might be because your health conditions are made worse by eating meat and dairy. It might be to help reduce your environmental impact. It might be because you are for animal liberation. Eggs, honey, and wool are a point of contention (where I would say that for honey and wool they do not even typically cause harm to the animals producing those products, while eggs would necessarily be from free range hens as it is clearly harmful to keep chickens in small cages and overly crowded conditions which is typical). Eggs can be argued to be harmful to the environment or certain kinds of nuts can be damaging or are grown with stressful practices like shipping bees between farms, so someone vegan for the reason of not allowing for animal cruelty or environmental concerns won’t eat almond products while someone vegan for health reasons still might. It’s a huge variety of things… that just… it still doesn’t include meat.

Honestly having argued with people like Helen Joyce the most common response is just "define woman" deflection, the second most common answer is an admission that the current existence of disabled people is unfortunate but it's "not their fault" unlike those icky trans people who choose to be difficult. Further pushing often gets them admitting that they want to "cure" all disability, not in a genocidey way (at least not one they'd openly admit to) but in a vague magical thinking way like "science will advance to cure all disability, we'll figure it out". And this is imho can be just as evil & dangerous as advocating to outright kill disabled people because it results in ableism such as people wanting to "cure autism" with whatever "medicine" is available to them. The highly abusive ABA conversion therapy practice was developed, used & defended for this very reason, it's a practice that essentially physically and emotionally tortures autistic children to get them to fit into normal society. Which yanno, does what the people who advocate for it want, it mostly traumatises children into behaving how you want them to, they later go on to have PTSD and the more difficult children are written off as unstable forever but hey, problem solved right? For those who don't conform you can just put them away in an institution so it's someone else's private problem.

I remember in the 80s, I had sympathy toward radical feminism, although I thought the "lesbian separatists" (which is what we called them then, and were similar to what gets called TERFs today) were making mistakes that were hurting women overall. That is, their extremism in wanting separate space for women quickly became divisive and absurd. At the time, I recall it being about what age a woman could bring her son to a "women's only" space. The cutoff was really young. To me, that was destructive to feminism, if you don't include mothers or make it possible for them to attend. That impulse, which at the time just seemed wrong-headed and extreme, is what I think inevitably led to trans exclusion. It was probably happening even then, but I didn't hear about it. People now don't realize how invisible trans people were to cis people back then. To say we were ignorant is a huge understatement. It wasn't until the last decade that I really learned about trans issues. On the other hand, I was not a separatist and didn't participate in any deliberate trans exclusion. It was possible to be more sympathetic to the separatists then, because they weren't collaborating with people taking away abortion rights. I saw them as mostly traumatized people who wanted a space they saw as safe. Unfortunately, they defined "safety" more by genitalia than is realistic. It was comprehensible, and as I said, most of us were completely ignorant about trans issues and how trans people were being treated and hurt by this subculture. The lesbian separatists had no power at all at the time. They were as fringe as you could get -- fringe of fringe. They often verged on ridiculous. They spent their time correcting people who said "seminar" with "ovular" and adding 10,000 years to the current date. Their spaces kept going out of business even in progressive cities. So they were quite unlike their TERF heirs. You could have compassion for how they'd been hurt by men and hope that they would heal. Instead they kept migrating toward the very powers they said they were fighting and are now scapegoating the most vulnerable. It's still very difficult to get my head around. I suppose because there was a long period where I just wasn't paying attention to these movements and subcultures. I had a rude awakening when I first saw a TERF video that was spewing the most vile abuse and hatred toward trans women. I was shocked to the core. It's taken me some years to trace how the people I often felt sympathy for in the 80s and 90s have morphed into attack dogs for the right wing. Words cannot express my sadness, disappointment, and anger.

@@Cat_Woods that really matches with what I was able to read and hear from feminists of the time, which is that you had traumatized women trying to band together for mutual support while dealing with their trauma, but several groups replicated the power dynamics of the social structures that traumatized them (specifically abusive families and christian cults) and laid the groundwork for TERFs.

It really scares me that so many of these women are in the same generation as I am. And you're very right about the class divide and the fact that they're not trying to appeal to existing feminists, but to 'ahum... normal' people. Since I'm a disabled cis woman it's difficult for me to attend protests. But what I can do is talk to people about trans rights. And I do this often because I've been genuinely worried for a long time. What I noticed is that rhetoric gets watered down to make it more palatable for people my age. But I find it much easier to talk to people who are working class because most of them realize trans people don't hold the power. With middle class people this is more difficult because they're in a mind-state that so much has been taken away from them. And many of them are oblivious to power structures and still believe the system is fair and meritocracy is real. This makes them much more inclined to trust the rhetoric that 'insert minority' is taking away the stuff they deserve, without seeing the dangers or realizing this won't make thing better for them.

[@ExeErdna]

This is why the middle class was destroyed tho. It was to originally punish black and brown people for making it. Everybody POOR was making it they buying homes and gaining wealth through sheer hard work. This is why they pit the racists against each other. A lot of know it's the elites, that how they now made it "left versus right" to keep people from realizing it's the elites instead of "eww nazis, eww commies" bullshit. The elites are still in control and still screwing up. The system is fair a lot of people still work hard and make it. The problem is there's too many people not everybody can win and that's why people need to work together instead of constantly being divided by some petty social line that often times don't even define their whole existence.

i haven't finished the video yet but this topic is so fascinating to me. i used to be on "radfem" tumblr (when i was like 15-17 it was during covid and it was a DARK time. also i'm genderless now) and radfems being so buddy buddy with conservatives is one of the big reasons why i left the community. i was incredibly dissatisfied with liberal feminism (think: capitalist girlbossism and "plastic surgery is empowering") and that's why terf ideology was attractive to me. i was very young and idealistic and didn't know there were other options. terfs appeared to be at least actually getting angry and talking about patriarchy rather than just trying to sell me products like the instagram liberal feminists i was accustomed to. but the further i waded into the terf swamp, the more i realized that the people i was associating with were fucking insane. i made a comment at one point that i didn't like WOLF because they always associated with conservatives and the response was overwhelmingly "well conservatives are the only ones who take our concerns about trans people seriously!1!!1" that was a big wakeup moment for me. if this movement can so easily throw aside its "feminist values" to work with homophobes and misogynists, is it really a feminist movement?? of course not. like, if conservatives are the only people that agree with you, maybe you're a bit of a conservative yourself... it's a shame because i still consider myself a radical feminist in the original sense of the word. as in, a feminist who seeks to combat patriarchy at the root. and i do believe the concept of gender is incredibly misogynistic AND transphobic and i am a gender abolitionist. but all these people were calling themselves radical feminists and gender abolitionists and in the same breath saying that being born with a vagina means you are a woman and will always be a woman because it's biology. like, what? didn't we already know that "one is not born, but rather becomes a woman"?? didn't we already know that gender is socially constructed and not biologically innate?? as feminists, haven't we been discussing these things for DECADES? how can you call yourself a feminist and still be so attached to this rigid binary that doesn't need to exist? anyways, i could talk about my experiences in that community forever but i won't. great video so far :)

I was in a similar boat, though not to a similar extreme.

Electoral Politics is not the end-all-be-all like a lot of neolibs and soft liberals would like to believe, but nor is completely ignoring it in favor or some kind of 'general People's Revolution' while thinking that wouldn't be an insane mire of chaos in a nation this big.

[@horleckshelmos8472]

While I'm glad that you got your way out of TERFism and was able to reconsider your beliefs, I'm a little curious, what exactly *is* gendder abolitionism in your worldview? I've heard it used to mean a variety of positions from people over time so I'm curious. Like, what kind of world do you envision with gender abolitionism? Is it any different from the idea that gender pervades what people get resources, power, etc. and that gender roles are oppressive? Like, I'm guessing it doesn't envision a world where gender isn't a concept that people think about much. As a trans girl, my idea of my gender is an incredibly important part of how I personally think about myself. Gender exists within me in some way or another, or at the very least that's a much more meaningful way to live my life. And I'm sure that's not something you mean to undermine.

I think there's another reason you may have originally been more receptive to them too. From what you cite as your issues with liberal feminism, it sounds like you were seeing a lot of the sides where soulless profit mongers coopt ideologies to sell whatever they want. I saw a video about witchcraft and how some influencers are using it to sell traditional marriage and Christian values to young women. I've known many leftist and liberal feminists who hate the girl boss narrative and the idea that you can only be empowered through plastic surgery. Like, every single feminist I know, except 1 who literally is a hunbot. Seeing the marketing shills in the space probably didn't help, especially if you lean more rad fem/anarchist to begin with.

True, but corporations are run by people and in some cases it really felt like a group within the company pushed in this direction because of ideology, rather than profit. That isn't that out of ordinary, but this time it was on bigger scale, across the economy and sometimes directly against the majority of customers. Probably the most visible example is the behaviour of Hollywood studios feom few years ago. Back then it was almost a common occurrence that during interviews with directors and other people making film, someone would say something like: "If people don't like changes we made to the franchise, we don't this 'enter label as insult here' types to watch it anyway." If this would be from people who understand the franchise and just wanted to expand or enrich it, while keeping the spirit of it, it would be probably fine. But to often it ended like a bad fun fic. Some of those people certainly had a good intentions in mind, but it really helped everyone screaming the line of "those SJW types are only interested in pushing their ideology, they see this franchises only as a vessel to get their propaganda to the masses".

I'm well aware of WOLF, as they came to Seattle when I lived in the area. So, they rented out the public library's auditorium and when they had the event, they had a half hours worth of anti-fascist and trans people in the audience who took turns requiring being escorted out. I was one of the last to go. I just stood up and when I got to the bottom row, turned and told them they were all horrible people and doing feminism wrong. They're also not particularly good at identifying actual trans people, as I desperately had to go when we arrived and paid a visit to the ladies without incident. And yes, they associate with the likes of The Proud Boys. I had infiltrated one of their chat rooms and saw them discussing bringing their far right militant friends to do security for the event.

[@howlyal]

I was at the same WOLF event. I had a “feminist” friend who told me she’d be in Seattle for a cool feminist event, and invited me to go. I’d never heard of WOLF or Megan (and didn’t know what gender critical was either) so I was really confused when I showed up and there were angry crowds and police officers. I don’t honestly remember much from the event except 1) the protestors in the crowd and 2) the few trans folks who stayed until the end of the event, when people could ask questions and some trans people tried unsuccessfully to appeal to the panelists’ humanity and compassion. All of that is to say, I was pretty green in feminist spaces and I think - while some TERFs do genuinely think they’re feminists and like to role play as martyrs - most folks lean into the feminist label for marketing purposes only to spread terf messages to those who aren’t super into theory and / or don’t know trans people in real life. I think as a result of that I had to unlearn a lot of transphobia that had been spoonfed to me by these gender critical / radical feminist under the guise of genuine concern. I’m not really sure where I was going with that comment, except to thank you for being present at that event.
