CW: CW: misogyny, male behaviour, transphobia

And because I am still upset:

Can we talk about the patriarchal male behaviour on display from the trans-exclusionary gay folks?

Because there is something almost breathtakingly familiar about certain gay men adopting the very hierarchies that patriarchy taught them, then turning around and using them against other queer people.

The “kiddo.”
The “child.”
The “babe.”
The condescending little performance of I am the grown-up man here, and you are the silly little thing who needs educating.

Oh, please.

Being gay does not magically uninstall patriarchy.

And neither does being gay automatically make someone immune to hypermasculine ideas about dominance, authority, hierarchy and who gets to speak with the voice of unquestionable expertise. To the contrary, some of these men seem to have taken every annoying male habit in the catalogue (talking down to people, asserting dominance, mansplaining, gatekeeping, deciding who counts as “normal,” demanding deference) and thought:

“Well, I’m gay, so apparently this is fine.”

No, darling. It isn't.

You don't get progressive bonus points for reproducing patriarchal behaviour inside the queer community that you do proudly claim to not even be a part of.

And frankly, watching gay men demand that everyone else recognise their authority while simultaneously telling trans people that we don't belong in queer history is a rather spectacular display of the very hierarchy queer liberation was supposed to challenge.

I am not your kiddo.
I am not your child.
And you are not my fucking patriarch.

Take your superiority complex, put it in a little box, and send it back to from whence it came. 💅

Es gibt Menschen, die so unglaublich dumm zu sein scheinen, dass ihnen der Erfolg dermaßen schnell zu Kopf steigt, dass sie glauben, mit allem durchkommen zu können. Z.B. mit #Doxxing, #Brigading, #Gatekeeping, dem Verbreiten von Lügen, z. B. angeblicher Transphobie, und vielem mehr …

Ich wünsche ja sonst niemandem etwas Schlechtes … Aber genau solchen wünsche ich, dass sie endlich mal für ihre Scheiße in die Tasche greifen müssen. Und zwar so richtig tief, dass sie von ihrem Erfolg nicht mehr wirklich viel haben!
Solche hinterfotzigen Menschen gehören einfach nur weggesperrt … Und vor allem, das Internet weg genommen!
