Edit: I'd also like to add that addictions tend to take over all of your thoughts and begin to consume you and you end up centering your entire life around them. These people don't need "gender care." They need addiction rehab.
Ah yes, and you know all about me without knowing me at all. Classic TERF assumptions.
So, I can tell you that I’m a trans woman who’s attracted to women. That already tells you everything doesn’t it?
And I can say this without making blatant unsupported assumptions, because with your kind, this is a very persistent sort of thing that you do, and I’ve seen TERFs do it a hundred times over. So, I already know the script, and you’re following it to the letter.
As a lesbian trans woman, I must be:
— a porn addict
— transitioning in order to fulfill some sexual fetish
— have an idea of ‘womanhood’ that rests entirely on sexist stereotypes that I happily fulfill and want to force cis women into as well
— be a violent ape who explodes at ‘real’ women the moment they do something I dislike in the slightest
— want to break women’s boundaries for the thrills, and/or in order to put them in shackles
— be a consummate liar
— probably want to rape women, too
Need I go on?
Oh, by the way: I don’t look at porn. At all. Haven’t for a long time now, and have no need or desire to do so again.
So, um, what exactly would you be ‘rehabilitating’ me from?
Like many other addictions (food, drugs, hoarding, alcohol) this addiction may have come about due to adverse childhood experiences. Regardless, that's no excuse for allowing your addiction to derail your own life and the lives of others.
Oh, another one!
So, what, now I’m also trans because I got bullied as a child?
You really are determined to hit all the classic TERF clichés about us, aren’t you?
I’m tempted to do my own Hannibal Lecter-esque analysis of the reasons why you’re a TERF and all the traumas and bad reasoning that must have led you there (and believe me, having seen as much of Ovarit and the like as I have, I have PLENTY of material for that!), but I’ll pass.
Stop using examples of little gay boys calling themselves girls because they don't understand homosexuality yet, are afraid of being bullied, and don't actually know the physical differences between sexes, therefore associate being men and women with superficial sexist stereotypes to excuse your own perversions or your own behavioral addictions.
Yes, because that’s totally what we are doing. (/s)
You’ve made up your mind and poured cement over it. You have decided that your stereotypes about us must be true and nothing can convince you otherwise. To that end, you’ll mine and quotemine whatever person seems to even slightly validate the generalizations you’ve already decided must apply to essentially all of us.
Well, screw that.
Leave the rest of us alone and get some help. Seriously.
And that, my TERF ‘friend’, is EXACTLY the advice I implore you to follow in regards to us. And I say that in the utmost seriousness.
