This is in response to something I saw a transphobe say (and this is paraphrased) about the protests in Melbourne:
"Do people really think those nazi males actually support radical feminism and women's right to speak? They weren't there to support the radfems. Have some critical thinking skills"
This person was trying to get radfems off the hook for the presence of the nazis. But the nazis were absolutely there to support the radfems, because nazis and radfems have a shared enemy: trans people.
Nazis are antifeminist, yes. But fascism will always ally itself with whoever it can to in order to promote its cause. So right now it's convenient to ally with radfems, because nazis are anti-trans, and radfems are anti-trans.
It's a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of situation.
This should be a wake-up call to radfems that maybe, being anti-trans... is fascist. If nazis agree with something you're saying, the thing you're saying might be fascist.
Never forget that during the 2020 US presidential election season, while one of the largest popular uprisings in human history was occurring, mutual aid networks were seeing an unprecedented surge in response to the pandemic, and fascist violence and rhetoric was ramping up rapidly, liberals were still pissing their pants and hollering "well what ELSE do you EXPECT us to DO!!!!" whenever the thought of taking some kind of action other than just voting was brought up
That was when I realized that reaching out to "blue no matter who" libs is just as hopeless as reaching out to conservatives. We'll be here when you decide to pull your heads out of the sand - until then, I'm not wasting my time

How many mass graves and extinct cultures are needed to convince Christian apologists that missionaries and missionizing are inherently xenophobic?
The answer is apparently always, "At least one more."
There are a fair few faux feminist statements I hate, but “We are the daughters of the witches you couldn’t burn” is one of them.
Susie Deltarune, originally was gonna have this as her Gender bend but it just didn’t look like a gender bend soooooo
Speaking as a non-religious person, I can confirm.
