@salt what @kittenlikeasmallcat said, but also:

I don't generally care about individual people in the world. I don't think that their existences in isolation have much significance or hold much interest to me, especially when we're talking about what they *are*. I care more about what individuals do, and inge has written one of the most interesting pieces of g/acc-adjacent theory (https://cybercommedia.neocities.org/necromanhood/append) which is more than I can say for a fucking lot of transfems I've known over the years who followed this exact same kind of simplistic, literal identity politics "men = bad because they self-identify as men" thinking.

my issue isn't with individuals in the world who describe themselves as men but rather where they fit into a materialist analysis of men as a class, and ildottore is one of a few transmascs I've met who is on board with this kind of analysis and has always been good to the transfems around here. in fact, I do not give a single fucking shit what someone self-identifies as and think that having any attachment to that is just the other side of the coin of the libfem analysis of gender as a subjective feeling and performance of it.
