Can people please stop using the categories "men" and "femmes" or "men" and "women and femmes" to describe people's experiences/social norms as if all people fit into those two groups and there is no more nuance to lived experiences!?

Man and masc are not synonymous.
Masc women exist and absolutely experience misogyny.
Femme men exist and often have different experiences than gender conforming men.
Trans/nonbinary people experience transphobia and misogyny regardless of if they are masc, femme, or neither.
Factors like race, disability, socioeconomic status, where people live, queerness (and if queer people "pass" as cis and/or straight), and many more effect how people move through the world and are treated! Ignoring intersectionality is ignorant, offensive, and alienates people with multiple disenfranchised identities from discussions of topics where their input/experiences are some of if not the most important!

I don't care if you are trying to make a broad/general statement and dichotomizing those two groups makes it easier for you- it does massive amount of harm and hinders any meaningful discussion of disenfranchisement based on gender and/or presentation.

Just. Fucking. Stop.

Survived a Hate Crime — Now We’re Fighting to Heal

ive put it in a link because it was really distressing for me to see and i dont want the image of a black queer person in the hospital as the image that circulates. this black queer married couple survived a violent racist and queerphobic attack and they only have 3% of their goal in helping them with bills and therapy. from their gofundme:

"We survived something that should’ve ended us. And now we’re speaking out — not just for ourselves, but for everyone who’s ever been targeted and forced to stay quiet.

This was hate. Targeted. Deliberate. And deadly. I’m not sharing this for sympathy — I’m sharing it because silence protects the people who did this. And they walked away while we were left to fight for our lives. To those who know us: your support means everything as we begin to heal — physically, emotionally, and mentally. Please keep us in your prayers and share this to raise awareness.This kind of hate is still out here. It’s real. It’s violent. It almost killed us. But we survived for a reason. We are asking for your help."

this article further explains what happened and two of the people charged. it is extremely triggering for black queer folks so please be careful

Die FDP darf beim Bremer #CSD nicht mitmachen und jammert rum, weil jemand auf ihre Inhalte eingeht. Das passiert wohl so selten, dass sie es nicht gewohnt sind und deswegen danach Bullshit labern. ich hab dazu was aufgeschrieben.
