If your immediate response to “trans men are capable of benefiting from male privilege” is “trans men are not The Enemy!!” I don’t think u should be discussing feminism or intersectionality at all lmao

Like the “vibes-based politics” of this website (and others!) has led a bunch of people to thinking that “has privilege” is synonymous with “is an Oppressor” and that “is an Oppressor” is basically synonymous with “ontologically evil,” and thus only the straightest whitest richest most cisgender men of all time can be Privileged. But the entire purpose of intersectional thinking is to acknowledge that privilege doesn’t work like that, being privileged in one area does not mean you can’t be marginalized in other areas, and being privileged does not make you “the enemy” lmao who are you a 2016-era “anti SJW”. I would say “imagine if people responded to discussions about white feminists with ‘white women are not the enemy!!!’” but people do do that lmao

okay except for the fact that trans men as a group are not capable of benefiting from male privilege. you would know this if you listened to trans men about anything instead of jerking yourself off about your incorrect reading of Whipping Girl on Tumblr
