Because irl women face gender discrimination and greater exploitation, which is a very radicalizing experience that most would like to do away with after facing it from the time you first gain consciousness until you pass away.
Not to attempt to invalidate anybody’s life experience or belittle anybody for their organizing efforts, but men, on the basis of their privileged position in society, have a lot less to directly gain by spending real time and real effort organizing and thus have less actual motivation on average to do something about it.
Idk, trans women deal with a lot of awful things too and thats why so many are shut ins.
But I bet cis women use social media to the same degree, they just prefer a different format
While many trans women are as you’ve described for the reason you described, I accounted for trans women in my comment already and would have to disagree with what you are saying if you are trying to contradict my initial comment. In my personal organizing experience, trans folks are by far the most disproportionately represented demographic, and I would have to say it’s probably for the same reason I listed above.
Yes 100%
Can you go further into what you mean?
I just mean that in terms of comrades I’ve organized with over the years, a much higher percent have been trans than trans people represent in the population as a whole; the reason for this being that the experience of life as a trans person is inherently radicalizing
Ooh OK, I was having a hard time reading that for some reason. No coffee today
Sometimes I really do forget caffeine is a drug until I haven’t had it and get mad and shaky
