minus-squareTriasha@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·3 months agoBigots are gonna bigot. I don’t see the use in ceding language to them.
minus-squareSectoidLexi@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 months ago“male socialized” and “biological male” is bigoted language. You’re not ceding something they made to hurt us.
minus-squareTriasha@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·3 months agoThey used to hurt us. Anyone literate could come up with male socialization independently. Biological male I agree with you, it’s a deceptive dog whistle. My biology made me Trans, which is to say female. I’m taking from this convo that regardless of how I describe my own journey, I should not apply the phrase to anyone else.
