I am really, really getting sick of cis era members telling the rather large portion of trans era members that have an issue with Natalie (which isn't just about one thing by the way, I love how my inability to transition makes me fake or not valid, really helps my mental health that I am getting treated for at my doctors orders so I don't get committed because it's at the point of making me a danger to myself) how wrong we are, and we have a problem. At the same time there are TWO threads on this subject where more than one user have stated that the fact the most transphobic users get banned as proof that the mods are doing a perfect job and eliminating the issue at the root cause (ha) even though at least one admin agrees with the fact their are major issues. Once again era showing at the end of the day that transphobia runs deep and cis users thinking they know better than trans people on trans issues.
And for the love of god stop elevating Contrapoints since "she's the only trans voice lots of cis people Hear" which could be solved by you know listening to the trans people you constantly talk over using her as a bludgeon. She's the only trans person you want to listen too and that's why, she lets you feel good about telling trans people their business and that shit seriously needs to fucking stop.
And especially stop with her being the voice and it's a net positive. There is enough of a trail now for me to say her influence is a net negative, and harmful to trans people. She bullies other trans people, supports/platforms trans people that bully other trans people, and makes cis people confident in bullying trans people.
Because using her as a means to constantly turn threads like this into a platform to tell a sizable group of eras trans population they are wrong, saying we are misogynist for this (?), telling us we don't get or are wrong about trans issues constantly and as a group, that's fucking bullying.
And always making the argument we're missing context and nuance in Natalies anti-trans tendencies and we are wrong even though the majority of people with an issue are trans and have a much better idea about this, however purposefully throwing all context and nuance out to defend Natalie and how dare we link her to this when the link is plain as fucking day.
Era has a serious fucking transphobic, cisplaiNing problem, saying my black friend would get you banned but it's okay to drag out Natalie to argue against trans people.
I would say if it doesn't stop the forum is eventually going to lose It's entire trans community, but ai have a feeling that at the end of the day quite a few posters here, including those who call themselves allies would be perfectly fine with that, some of them even secretly happy.
I've said recently and I am going to say it again, face facts most here are not allies so they should stop calling themselves that. I would actually rather They stay out of threads related to trans issues completely and stop pretending instead of calling themselves allies when it's feel good but then rushing into any negative thread to chastise the majority of Era's trans community.
Im sick of having a knife in my back everytime the subject comes up, and it's actually easier to post here at least for me knowing I have no friends than with posters that call themselves friends then act like my enemy.
