We did it, Reddit! We found the radical centrism!

    My reaction as a transfeminine non-binary ex-Catholic of color

    Also, I don't know whether to cringe, feel sorry for this poster, or both.

    The aesthetic is laughably embarrassing. Like, trying so hard to be validated by misogyny as a trans woman that you spout out absurd ideas about submitting to fascist men who control an oppressive society that just so happens to "accept" trans women. This kind of society would never materially come into existence because theocratic fascists have no tangible or pragmatic reason to actually accept trans women or any queer people for that matter. My sister in Christ, to these people, you ARE the freak.

    It sounds like a degradation fantasy more than an actual desire. The use of AI art is the cherry on top, and it hurts that she probably thinks this makes her look "kewl and edge" when, in actuality, it makes her look pathetic and laughable.

      This new trend of tradwife content is just a fetish, and it's really obvious once you recognize it

        Honestly when I first read the screencapped post I was just thinking the whole time, "You know, this tradwife shit would be a lot more bearable if you just prefaced it with the words, 'this is just what I get off to'", because yeah, like you say it is pretty darn obvious that this is in fact a fetish thing. It's really the pretense of sincerity that makes stuff like this go from Problematic to Harmful.

        Yeah, this shit literally started in the fetish community

        Used to see shit like this on fetlife a decade ago, now it's boken containment
