@cultivatingboldspaces: I feel like it's another thing people reach for as a way of not really engaging in good faith. #feminism #transphobia #criticalthinking #transrights #socialcommentary
Also “right message wrong messenger” is supposed to be a critique of the messenger, essentially calling someone a hypocrite, not the message.

I have found a lot of people use "right message, wrong messenger" as an excuse to invalidate the message no matter who the messenger is

Do you think this phrase is also used in some instances to try and remove a person or group from discourse and conversation?

“Right message, wrong messenger” is supposed to mean something true was said for the wrong reasons or with the wrong intent, not that it was said by someone who makes you angry.

‘Right message wrong messenger’ is appropriate when you have reason to believe the person spreading the ‘right message’ is don’t so for ulterior reasons that you disagree with, based on how you have seen them act before (e.g if Nick Fuentes says there is a genocide in Gaza). It is not appropriate to use when someone who you’ve never engaged with before makes a statement you agree with FOR the same reasons you would agree with the statement, but you just feel like they shouldn’t spread that message for whatever reason.

insisting only trans people can speak up about trans issues and rights just enables trans issues to be silenced easier

the phrase "wrong messenger" also feels so weird here because it feels as if it's saying only cis women are allowed to critique exclusionary feminists. who exactly is the "right messenger" to point out transphobia in feminist circles and what privileges do they hold or lack? do we care more about the person making the point than the point being made?

I think it's really telling that people are misgendering Niles simply because they appear as a man in order to attack them personally for a message they (the audience) didn't like hearing from someone who looks like them... Which kinda proves Niles' point

the existence of trad wives and right wing women undermines this way of thinking anyway. they too are women who go through the same abuse less if the are white but same abuse but choose to ignore it say it's normal they also have experiences of womanhood we wouldn't say their take on the affairs of women is right

I just have to ask: Is "bioessentialism" the new buzzword for gender dysphoria activists to throw around in an attempt to pretend that anything other than biology determines whether someone is male or female...and that being male or female is the determining factor for whether a person is a man or woman?

as someone who has an older sister who is anti-feminist who couldn't even be convinced to get behind "choice feminism", being born female definitely does not make you an authority on the topic

I think there is a level on top of the transphobic turf angle that the patriarchy is exactly what has lead to so many of the problems men have today. They feel wronged if they can’t be the sole breadwinner, they think they are inadequate if they show their emotions, etc. Yes, feminism is a movement for women but everyone benefits from the dismantling of patriarchy and gender roles

"right message, wrong messager" is like when Italian futurists were so misogynistic that they wanted to give women the right to vote so they could fuck off from them basically and go live away from them lmao (they wanted the world to end so they didn't need them to have babies or anything, in theory at least)

But also people are doing with issues other than feminism, there are a lot non immigrant white people, calling out pick me immigrants and poc, weaponising their identity, when it comes to defending ice, there are non black people who call out Candice owens in her weaponisation of race, or pick me conservative women, saying they don’t deserve the right to vote, can it be distasteful sometimes, yes , but that’s not always inherently because of they’re identity makes them wrong messenger, for any critique, it’s because the they’re over stepping in community that isn’t theirs.
