RE: TIMs claiming oppression? Is the oppression in the room with us?

( vulvapeople )
The oppression is that someone, somewhere doesn’t buy into their identities. When you look at every individual thing they complain about and call “violence”, that’s it.

Any sexuality group they desire doesn’t want them (lesbians v. AGPs, straight men v. HSTSs, straight women v. lesbian TIFs, gay men v. straight TIFs)? Women don’t want to be TIMs’ besties? A religious institution won’t let them into wrong-sex accommodations? A child expresses fear at seeing them in a wrong-sex space? A woman smirks at a TIM? Oppression, oppression, oppression, oppression, oppression, because, in each instance, the rest of us are saying they aren’t what they’re pretending to be.

The genius in this is that there will never be a time to the heat death of the universe that they won’t be “oppressed”, so they get to milk their victim complexes forever.

I genuinely believe this is one reason Ellen Page transitioned. Pre-transition, she unsuccessfully tried to claim oppression for such things as most media being geared toward straights (gays and lesbians are ultimately a very small minority, they’ll never have the representation that would satisfy her), but it failed to land since most LGs recognize that reality and have moved on. So, she transed.

They genuinely think that others who don't validate their "gender identity" is an act of violence upon them. "Not acknowledging the existence of trans" is in their view a form of oppression. It's essentially saying, if you don't do what I say or believe what I tell you to believe, you're oppressing meeee.

It's not surprising that some of the most privileged people in world history came up with that argument. they have literally nothing else to complain about.

They mistake overblown and ungratified sense of entitlement for oppression. Mostly they act creepy and offputting and then shriek and complain when people are creeped out and put off.

( OverTheWall )
This is the issue with a lot of people part of the “alphabet soup club”, they think dressing and acting like kind of weirdo is a “sexuality” and cry oppression /bigotry when they can’t get hired or when normal people don’t want to be around them.
