dank memes

Rules:

  1. All posts must be memes and follow a general meme setup.

  2. No unedited webcomics.

  3. Someone saying something funny or cringe on twitter/tumblr/reddit/etc. is not a meme. Post that stuff in !the_dunk_tank@www.hexbear.net, it's a great comm.

  4. Va*sh posting is haram and will be removed.

  5. Follow the code of conduct.

  6. Tag OC at the end of your title and we'll probably pin it for a while if we see it.

  7. Recent reposts might be removed.

  8. Tagging OC with the hexbear watermark is praxis.

  9. No anti-natalism memes. See: Eco-fascism Primer

I...am not sure I'd even say "to an extent" for enbies. While the trans men I've interacted with have been lackluster in wielding the privilege they gain for good, the afab enbies celebrate each piece of privilege because they are few and far between, if they are extant in the first place. I am ignorant if the statistics are granular enough to tell us this info, but after Nex, I feel it is fair to say many enbies experience harassment on the same scale and pervasiveness as trans women.

Hell, some of the trans women I know are enbiephobic, so I feel like in some what it's our job to support enbies, because it's starting to look like "first they came for the enbies, and I said nothing, because I am not an enbie".

I genuinely prefer enbies as queer allies out of everyone else, but I feel like that's an attitude you'll get generally only from younger trans women. I guess I'm just saying while if someone like me is hurt I am deeply saddened for the loss of someone I extend my love to, but when an enbie is hurt it means (at least to me) someone who I could talk to with zero mask. I really hope I'm not saying anything shitty, to either group, cuz I have identified with being nonbinary in several ways over the years so maybe that would explain my feelings of companionship

Also thank you for the support in keeping myself safe ๐Ÿ’œ

y'know what, you're right. I think I have a tendency to downplay prejudice against myself, and by extension people like me, and that's really not the right way to look at things, and I certainly shouldn't try to speak for all nonbinary people. thank you for your perspective, Gaia.
