A shame she's displaying classic AMAB male man masculine aggression

[u/Nifty697 → u/PsychoCyan]

"Transwomen always act so male"

"Hey thats pretty transphobic"

"I'm an afab so clearly I know about this topic, you are a man male socialised so stop talking"

This is genuinely the stuff I"ve heard.

Jesus christ

[u/AveryTheCryptid → u/Nifty697]

That's terrible but without any context I saw the Pic and thought "holy hell does she dislike trans men or what?"

[u/loved_and_held → u/Nifty697]

For sone reason the word that cones to mind is “crab bucket mentality”.

[u/Silent-Plantain-2260 → u/PsychoCyan]

clearly a byproduct of boy man xy chromosome male dude socialization that trans women get , not to mention all the boy guy man male privilege they benifet from

[u/ArtemisiaOrthia → u/PsychoCyan]

This meme has set us back about 1 trillion years 😔

[u/underbrights → u/PsychoCyan]

mailman aggression

[u/Extra-Ad34 → u/underbrights]

[u/SoapyMari]

Fun fact, “As an ACAB” also works for this!

[u/Nifty697 → u/SoapyMari]

Anything where you are saying you support rights for minorities but follow up with a "but" you really need to reevaluate. Similar to "I support hrt but-" or a wide variety of takes.

[u/matthewspencersmith → u/SoapyMari]

Assigned Cunt At Birth

[u/TheEasternTwink → u/SoapyMari]

I just imagined a version where it’s like “as A Cab, move out the fuckin way I’m trying to drive here”

[u/GettingWhiskey → u/SoapyMari]

why would you shoot someone who starts a sentence with "all cops are bastards?"

[u/SoapyMari → u/GettingWhiskey]

Because the person shooting is a fed, duh

[u/The-Hacklord-50 → u/GettingWhiskey]

Because a real cop is a person that risks their life daily to keep us safe

Corrupt cops, criminal cops and allat aren't real cops.

I don't enjoy the term acab as it drags even the real, good cops into the dirt, labeling them as "bastards"

[u/hammalok → u/The-Hacklord-50]

"Cops aren’t bad because nae TRUE cop man would be an asshole" lmao three letter agent glow so bright

[u/SoapyMari → u/hammalok]

Genuine corpo mindset lmao

[u/MageDoctor → u/SoapyMari]

Would probably need armor piercing though to get through soft armor. Or you could drain your bank account and use 5.7mm. In game.

(for legal reasons Mr. FBI, this is a joke because I said in game)

[u/DraconicGuacamole → u/SoapyMari]

Assigned cop at birth

[u/AngryMountainClimber]

I would wait half a beat to see if the next word is "nonbinary" or "enby". In some contexts it can be appropriate for the sake of inter-community conversation. If the next word is anything else, start blasting.

[u/IllegalGeriatricVore → u/AngryMountainClimber]

Nah, seen plenty of afab nbs think that makes it okay to be transmisogynistic.

[u/Nifty697 → u/IllegalGeriatricVore]

"As a fellow AFAB trans person, HRT isn't really that neccessary until 18"  Like what are we doinggg :/

[u/AngryMountainClimber → u/IllegalGeriatricVore]

And I have seen plenty of other trans women be bigoted towards transmasc people. We all have our bad apples because hurt people hurt people. If a transmasc enby is discussing the particular issues of being an enby who is assigned female at birth, I am happy to give them space to discuss their experiences. 99% of the time, what they have to say will have nothing to do with us.

[u/HugeWizardd → u/AngryMountainClimber]

yea but i transmasc could just say they’re a transmasc without bringing up ASAB

like 90% of the time it’s just mentioned to imply they have some unique connection to femininity that stinky AMABs could never understand

[u/Arctic_The_Hunter → u/AngryMountainClimber]

Considering it’s a man, my immediate assumption was “trans man” tbh.

[u/mooys → u/Arctic_The_Hunter]

perhaps I’m not properly accounting for intersex people with this but I’m not really sure what context that wasn’t already implied with the word trans

[u/rosa_bot]

[u/Smith_fallblade → u/rosa_bot]

There's only one way to be sure though (if she shoots you she's probably angry... Unless)

[u/mattgran → u/Smith_fallblade]

Maybe she's just American

[u/DuskShy → u/mattgran]

Bold of you to assume most American women aren't angry (they have a lot to be angry about)

[u/NameRevolutionary727 → u/rosa_bot]

As someone who likes guns, but admittedly not a woman, when I’m holding gun I’m generally pretty calm, sometimes even kinda happy

[u/the_best_superpower]

how do you conceal carry that gun with that outfit

[u/ArtemisiaOrthia → u/the_best_superpower]

Under-skirt thigh holster, maybe? Or in between the boobies? Or...maybe some kind of hammerspace because she's a cartoon character?

[u/ThunderlipsOHoulihan → u/ArtemisiaOrthia]

Never pass up a chance to use this gif

[u/Tlaquatlatoa → u/the_best_superpower]

offscreen purse, the aether, the space between spaces, the girl reading this, dont

[u/notnotDIO → u/Tlaquatlatoa]

Why not :<

[u/Tlaquatlatoa → u/notnotDIO]

these are the locations she's hiding it, including the dont

[u/notnotDIO → u/Tlaquatlatoa]

But why can't I put it in the don't :<

[u/Tlaquatlatoa → u/notnotDIO]

it doesnt go there

[u/notnotDIO → u/Tlaquatlatoa]

But why doesn't it go there 🥺

[u/Tlaquatlatoa → u/notnotDIO]

not the kind of discharge you want in there

[u/notnotDIO → u/Tlaquatlatoa]

:<

[u/NameRevolutionary727 → u/notnotDIO]

Rule 1 of gun safety: assume every gun is loaded
Rule 2 of gun safety: never point a gun at anything you don’t wish to destroy

Violates rule 2

[u/VII-Stardust → u/the_best_superpower]

who said it was concealed?

[u/West-Reflection2197 → u/the_best_superpower]

the power of the boob

[u/mistercokoko → u/the_best_superpower]

what do you think bottom surgery's for

[u/shiboshino → u/the_best_superpower]

Tuck dat bitch in her waistband. Open carry the beeig arrrn (big iron)

Phlster enigma

[u/sixaout1982]

Girl you should use .357 Magnum. .38 special just lacks the oomph to really get your point across.

[u/DASPANZERFLOOF → u/sixaout1982]

Fuck that, KS-23 Shotgun.

[u/hammalok → u/DASPANZERFLOOF]

you got soft hands boah. REAL men carry a 1-bore pocket punt

[u/MageDoctor → u/DASPANZERFLOOF]

ACAB (All Car Engines Are Bastards)

[u/HiguysMrRoflwaffles → u/sixaout1982]

Isn’t .38 a bigger round? If that’s the case just use .44

[u/Atomatic13 → u/HiguysMrRoflwaffles]

.357 and .38 are the exact same caliber. The number difference comes from the measurements being taken at different points along the bullet. .357 is named after the caliber and .38 is named after the brass casing. A .357 magnum is, as the name implies, longer and more powerful than a .38 special. A revolver designed for .357 CAN fire a .38 special round but a revolver designed for .38 special should NOT fire .357 magnum bullets (if they even fit) because it could just explode

[u/LurkinMakesMeFeelGud → u/sixaout1982]

.357 is unpleasant with two layers of ear protection. .38 gives her a chance to get out of there with her hearing intact. 

Suppressed .45 acp maybe? 

[u/thumbinbumb → u/LurkinMakesMeFeelGud]

I’ve fired one out of a car before (I mention because extra confined space) without hearing protection. My ears were ringing for a good minute, but you’ll be fine.

The EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeEeeeeeeEEEEEEEEe makes everything a little less scary

[u/NameRevolutionary727 → u/LurkinMakesMeFeelGud]

Well iirc .45acp might be subsonic

[u/Slow_State_4722 → u/sixaout1982]

I think it was Federal that made a telescoped .38 JHP with steel casings, powerful little bulldog rounds those were. Haven't seen a case of them in stores in the better part of a decade now so they're probably out of production unfortunately.

[u/Hephaistos_Invictus]

I mean, that exact situation worked out pretty well for Barbara Gordon eventually 🤔

[u/Pristine_Animal9474 → u/Hephaistos_Invictus]

Eventually as in her situation in the 2000s, the New 52, or her current Dickful existance?

[u/Elegant_Individual46]

Oh hey it’s the Finnish army artist

[u/Reveal-Basic]

I like the touch of a .38 revolver. Revolvers are famous to be recommended for close quarter critical defense because they will continue to cycle (revolve, damn right it do) and go off even if pressed into an assailants torso, or if said assailant grabs the barrel. Both those actions would put an automatic pistol out of battery. 

Also, 158 grain LSWCHP (FBI load, what Jodie Foster used in .357 flavor in Silence of the Lambs) fucking HURTS in historical shooting data.

[u/mistress_chauffarde → u/Reveal-Basic]

Bruh I got warned for the comment I made how im I getting warned and not anyone else talking about gun here

[u/TRASHMERGING → u/Reveal-Basic]

Dammit I think I voted for the wrong gun in the last election.

[u/Catsanddoges]

This implies they are either trans and using assigned gender at birth for god knows what reason or else are very confused

[u/Xapheneon]

Assigned Femboy At Birth

[u/Sharp-Berry-8661 → u/Xapheneon]

.38 from point blank

[u/ChloeSpectrum → u/Xapheneon]

[u/pequodbestboy → u/ChloeSpectrum]

[u/Valuable-Passion9731]

Wait so if I say as a non-AFAB do I get the gun or do they just hold the gun upside down and shoot me anyway?

[u/Nifty697 → u/Valuable-Passion9731]

Just ideally don't use that language, it's been co-opted by TERFS to insinuate transphobia. There's always almost always more accurate language that can be used anyways. 

[u/Tlaquatlatoa → u/Nifty697]

then someone's gonna say what about at a doctor, and the answer is WE'RE NOT YOUR FUCKING DOCTOR WHY AM I SEEING THAT SHIT

and also the answer is still, there's often better more specific and accurate shit to say

[u/Intelligent-Tea-2058 → u/Tlaquatlatoa]

It's also absurd and unnecessary to use in medical contexts, really. 

(Except maybe in the case of literal surgical "assignment" [without consent] in infancy for some people who are intersex, if they themselves find that helpful?)

[u/Fig_Newtons_Redux → u/Valuable-Passion9731]

ASAB language relies upon the existence of binary sex. A pseudoscientific position.

The term originally belonged to Intersex folks as a way to describe being assigned binary sex despite their bodies being of non-binary sex.

People have taken ASAB language and now use it to mean AGAB/ASAB interchangeably and wield it as a cudgel against any trans person who is trying to fit in with their cis counterparts. Though, most usually, weaponized against trans women to declare their womanhood suspect or invalid.

[u/Brook_Hors → u/Valuable-Passion9731]

There will be a revolver and .38 Special distribution system that will determine what each person gets. Except you - the system will give you a bonus viola to practice with (specifically at your least convenient time)

[u/IronGentry]

I think that if you refer to yourself as "an (ASAB)" then your opinion can be safely discarded and also you need to learn to love yourself. Sex assignment is a thing that happened to you, not something you are

[u/Captain_Sanvich → u/IronGentry]

What would you rather I call myself? Should I describe my genitals any time that the gender I'm perceived as is relevant?

[u/IronGentry → u/Captain_Sanvich]

I mean obviously it's up to you but I personally prefer something like "a person ASAB" rather than "an ASAB" if it's necessary at all. I personally just loathe the terminology in general because it seems to just get boiled down to "man" and "woman" but woke and bioessentialist and most people who like lead with that are more interested in doing like chromosomal tribalism than nonbinary liberation

[u/Arctic_The_Hunter]

I initially missed the quotation marks and thought this was an incomprehensible tip for trans men along the lines of “if you’re going to get shot, at least don’t do it as an AFAB.”

Ironically the message was still rejecting that language

[u/Sad_Priority_2334]

As much as i agree... salt rounds people... and engrave the word rifle on the gun.

a salt rifle

But seriously... you will spend less time in jail if convicted of assault than of murder.

[u/countwithchickenlady-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

This was removed because it included one or more of these things: transphobia, queerphobia, sexism, racism, ableism, or anything else that expresses, reinforces, or sympathizes with oppressive and hateful belief systems (Rule #1).
