my friend tried to get me to be direct friends with said musk stan once ("they're into building electronic things just like you!") and gave them my discord handle, and out of the blue one day they sent me a short video of a stepper motor spinning around a few times while they said in the background "this is my robot boyfriend" and then the video ended. i think i responded to that but they never replied after that, so that was the only message i ever got from them.

that was a few years ago and i still think about that enigmatic robot boyfriend now and then

i've brought this up a few times in different threads but the fearmongering around transpeople is like, verbatim the exact same fearmongering that was done about gays like 15 years ago with one or two words swapped out. "oh they're going to turn your boys gay into girls!!" for example

and i feel like this is so obvious to the queer community and decent allies (like pretty much everyone in the 'pos tbf) that it doesn't get mentioned, and that's a problem. i've seen people fall for it who probably consider themselves to be allies, would see the obvious bullshit if the same arguments were leveled against gays, and who really should know better. so i think it should be pointed out as often as possible, because queer people seem to consider it obvious enough to not even bother bringing it up, but at the same time it is not at all obvious to a lot of otherwise well-meaning people.

yeah absolutely, and i think most queer people (and other decent people who are cue'd in to queer issues well enough) see it immediately and find it so obvious that they don't think to even point it out. yet i've absolutely seen more i guess "casually allied" people who realize the whole "gay people are all groomers!" line is bullshit turn around and buy into "trans people are all groomers!" hook, line and sinker, so it def needs to be pointed out explicitly more imo

e: like i guess it just frustrates me that seemingly 100% of the rhetoric from the queer side is just responding directly to the accusations instead of pointing out how it's literally the same accusations leveled against gays and it's exactly as wrong and wrong for the same reasons as it was then. i feel like putting it in that context would do a heck of a lot more to sway people that are like "gosh I support the gays but this whole TURNING OUR BOYS INTO GIRLS thing seems wrong!"

anyway whatever i'm mad about gender tonight i guess !!!!

idk there’s a significant number of rich assimilated cis gays who are super quick to pull up the ladder behind them; and terf came from radfem discourse which are uh as a community a significant fraction is non-hetero; see also michfest

It's also not even just "oh it's similar to fearmongering about gays in a way that fearmongering about gay rights was similar to fearmongering about same sex marriage or whatever before that"; the anti-transgender fearmongering is literally originating from anti-LGBTQ groups who would like to say the same thing about cis gay people but just realized that since public opinion on transgender rights hasn't yet become established to the same degree as on gay rights, by forming groups ostensibly focusing on anti-transgender concern trolling they still have an opportunity to try to use anti-transgender hate as a wedge against LGBTQ rights in general.

The other novel trick is using puppet TERF organizations to whitewash transphobia as "feminism", but it's still just the same bigotry and the same bigots as before

beyond even that, you can track quite a few of the arguments all the way back to the 50's when they were about interracial marriage

The entire thing got rolling as far as I can tell in 2010 or so while the right-wing noise machine was reeling from losing on gay marriage at SCOTUS, and the first North Carolina bathroom bill was around about 2010 or 2011. And since then it's just been the same god drat thing over and over. It was really obvious.
