fedi likes to pretend it's better than other social medias but I'm literally watching a tumblr mspec lesbian-esque discourse taking form with "afab transfem"
@puppygirlhornypost2 it is in our best interests to keep our labels from being appropriated so we don't get erased by the people who should really fucking be on our side, yes.
@mira@puppygirlhornypost2 ... what, so someone who was AFAB, but found themselves out to be non-binary yet still fem leaning, shouldn't count as transfem? how is excluding people like this helpful?
(let alone the fact that these labels are supposed to reflect your actual identity, not just how people labelled you when you were born)
@gwenthekween@puppygirlhornypost2 their relationship to femininity is very very different than a transfem's relationship, so yeah they are not transfem. someone can be trans and femme eithout being transfem.
its not exclusion if you are protecting your labels from being appropriated. would you defend a pure whiteblooded person from europe calling themselves two spirit? don't call things exclusion that really fucking aren't
@mira@gwenthekween@puppygirlhornypost2 this reminded me of how there's people out there across the pond referring to themselves as "23% Irish" after taking a 23andMe test
