“I fucking hate the term FLINTA”

but excluding cis men does inherently make space safer no?

I was with her until she said she didn't understand why youd wanna exclude men from certain spaces, take a fucking guess. I also don't like this term, it feels icky, but not because it's meant towards men to exclude them or whatever

“but trans women get asked to leave flinta parties because they had a beard!” just shave?

SIE HAT SO RECHT

Germany latches onto ideologies and then takes them to their extremes EVERY time. There is no nuance, even in the face of contradictory logic. It turns well-meaning and important opportunities for social change into harmful purity-obsessed groups that burn themselves out.

Agree. When I say that I or my group doesn't use this term, people wrongly assume its bc of transphobia, but it just doesn't make sense. When you want to do a women's march and you say FLINTA only, that would include trans men, who obviously aren't women.

interesting conversation for sure. I had a brief moment where I thought I might attend a local group for FLINTA people because it seemed NB inclusive but when they saw a vaguely masc-presenting person they asked me if I was in the wrong place perhaps, so I left and never returned

Same.

So queer people can seek out people like them, but women can’t have their own spaces with people like them. He has to be in them?

Irre. Wer ist das?

This is such a pointless conversion considering where we are. Literally making a fool of yourself if you’re engaging in this kind of college LGBT society bickering about ‘who decides who belongs in what space’. We all need to buck up and focus honestly lmao it is not 2019 anymore
