Holy fuck, thank you for pointing this shit out. I see so many feminist accounts on social media celebrate 4B, and I actually get really scared because I'm transfeminine, and as I've said before, I always am skeptical of how much mainstream (non-TERF) feminists are really opposed to transphobia. Seeing this constant praise of the 4B movement just makes me really depressed and self-hating again because I'm sure these kinds of South Korean women would want to kill someone like me.
The 4B movement has been whitewashed (literally and figuratively) by western radical/egalitarian liberals and progressives in the media, as it serves the western interests of the continued colonisation of South Korea. A lot of it is based on propaganda based on Eurocentric ideology about the west and western men being more perceptible to social justice and equal rights and opportunities. Let's be clear, the kind of men engaging in sex and marriage tourism in South-East Asia ("passport bros" and the like) do not support social justice.
This kind of thing makes me lose hope in social progressivism, as a socially progressive person.
The solution to sexism is less westernisation and colonisation, not more!
Yeah, as a black transfeminine enby, I can't say I approve of this at all. Do progressives just not care about me at all? The message I get is that they'd be okay with me being treated like shit because they're promoting bioessentialism, alongside racism, that makes me an enemy. If westernization, white supremacy, colonization, and transphobia are going to be standard parts of progressive movements, I want nothing to do with them because I want to be involved with a movement that doesn't reinforce the feeling that I'm subhuman. That's why I started avoiding conservatives and began involving myself with revolutionary socialist ideology a lot more. The last fucking thing I need is to feel like I’m less than human on the basis of my race and gender identity because I’ve done that for too long already. It’s a familiar thought process that I’ve had enough of and I want to fucking change. I don’t seem to be getting a change of pace here at all, though. Wish me luck with not feeling depressed all day over this.
