I do have to get this off my chest though:
I’m hearing a lot of people talking about female-assigned-at-birth (FAAB) privilege in queer communities. This is not a thing.

not identifying you because, ironically, of concerns about the productivity of shaming in this context, but for real, if you think “shaming can be just as damaging as sexual assault itself” is a sentence that even makes sense then you have either gone way off the deep end of anarcho-hippy misogyny-coddling subcultural tunnel vision, or never moved away from mainstream rape culture to...
