I finally pinned down what it is about this post that makes me real angry and it’s like....you know we’re supposed to go out of our way to reckon with the specificity of your identity when you’re gay but when the ~libqueer mogais~ make up exhaustively accurate terminology to describe themselves suddenly we’re back to “just call yourself gay/bi/straight” (never ace 🤔).......we can’t reckon with the specificity of mogai genders and sexualities but we have to do that for gay people...we can erase the identities of people who use mogai words but when we do it to gay people it’s an unacceptable act of violence......to be quite clear I am not advocating that we erase the identities of gay people I just want us to think critically about why we perceive both mogai specificity and queer universality to be erasure of gay people; why is gay the only acceptable option, why is it the only one worth protecting, what is it about gay people that makes them worth more than mogais and queers

i really dont like Andrea Long Chu and Contrapoints.

Q. who the fuck is ALC?
ALC [Andrea Long Chu] is a ~leftist~ trans lesbian.
relevant links: twitter / the article she wrote for the NYT
she's also deeply, deeply biphobic and transphobic.

I don't like ALC. I'm not going to try to hide this. I hate her for legitimate reasons and also in a "fuck the way she chews her salads" way.

Some of her shit tier takes include:
- bi women who date men deserve the rape and abuse they face.....uh okay. radfem
- butch lesbians have masc privilege.........radfem again ! wow
- bi women who are married to men have straight privilege ...this is a trend
- transfeminine butches are just too poor to afford the surgery....ooh we edging into trscum territory now
- bottom surgery for trans women results in a wound....yikes op. big yikes
and so on and so forth. I really can't dig through her entire twitter, I just ate dinner.

but she also has an ongoing friendship with Contrapoints / Natalie Wynn.

( what did she do? )

so like. thats a big fucking yikes from me, and a hard pass, and I don't like them and their shitty takes and I want to know why trans people have to put with intellectually dishonest wankers like this being the figureheads of our community in the broader internet trans discourse
