That's why I take it so personally, even though I'm cis. I used to get **** about being masculine from sexist boys, I really don't need feminists doing that too

This is a really stupid way of looking at things, Twitter may not be "real life" but it absolutely influences the beliefs and behavior of people in real life, spreading fascist ideology is dangerous any way you do it but the internet is without a doubt the most effective platform for hate, ignoring it is extremely foolish.

Transphobic sentiment is growing along with right wing extremism in general, propaganda and misinformation on the internet has absolutely been a big part of this and now transphobic bills are being passed at an alarming rate across America, I'm a trans woman living in a bumf*ck Tennessee town, I fear for my safety more than ever.

To put this as kindly as possible, please do not condescend to me and tell me that people saying I have no right to exist is something trivial.

Yes I'm aware that at end of the day banning a few dipsh*ts on social media who will just fall back on their burner accounts doesn't really amount to much, but I am someone with no power, voting doesn't do jack sh*t if you live in a gerrymandered red state, holding people accountable for spreading hate on the internet is essentially the only thing I can do.

It's funny actually, hate and abuse personally directed at me in the "real" world doesn't affect me as much, a few days ago my mom called me an ugly man in a dress and I hate my mom so who cares? I don't. It doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as the transphobia being pushed in the media and the internet, because that sh*t has far greater reach and will effect a lot more people.

Ignoring the spread of fear and hate is enabling it, period.

The endless flood of Marxist enlightenment is impressive.

referring specifically to this online sphere which is overwhelmingly white, male, and comfortable

Most online forums are white, male and sometimes comfortable. The question is why. I can understand why many women avoid forums but often see evidence posters of all persuasions choose to join forums they know are largely occupied by people they’d disagree with. In many instances there’s the simple explanation they’re repressed and trodden on at home finding places such as this the one area they feel they can assert themselves. Such is probably better than having places like this become echo chambers spurting only their particular view of the universe.

Have you thought of leaving the US for somewhere like Australia or New Zealand? Don’t let links below put you off though. My dear departed friend Lil lived in Sydney as openly trans and thrived.

I don't even have the money or resources to move out of state.
