      thank you, I havent finished but so far this really resonates so much with me and puts a lot into words I wish I could. I really hope to share this with others because I really feel like there’s just so much on the line and it’s a disturbingly common view especially in settler spaces.

      Yes, because it’s written by a SWERF.

      Edit:

      Here’s a thorough takedown of Esperanza Fonseca and her org AF3IRM. It should also be noted that the same org does not only include vocal TERFs, but is funded by evangelical fundamentalists who actively fight access to abortion and trans healthcare. Like i said upthread to the chauvinist you’re replying to, the Venn diagram of SWERFs and TERFs is almost a circle and every leftist space i know that is open to SWERFs has over time devolved into a transphobic shitfest, i know trans women who’ve been physically assaulted in spaces like that. I’m not gonna sit by and let this shit infringe on this site.
