Holy fucking shit I thought at first this was more TERF shit but they really are just talking about a gay man coming out of the closet How fast are we racing backwards now that "Why couldn't he stay closeted for his family's sake" is now acceptable liberal opinion https://twitter.com/Louise_m_perry/status/1225745562194137089 …

"Don't get in a hetero relationship if you aren't hetero." Or maybe don't live life as a willing heterosupremacist reproducing a comphet society which fetishizes gay men for being clean cut & not wanting to fuck you while simultaneously trivializing their suffering???

One of the most frustrating things about TERFs is how shamelessly they selectively apply concepts like "compulsory heterosexuality"

Comphet has always been a feminist concept developed for lesbians in reaction to male dominance. It was never made for gay men but nonetheless what happens to them can't really be conceived under another term IMO, even if admitting this flies in the face of naive feminist theory.

I'm thinking of how they don't apply it to trans lesbians either even when it really obviously does apply but, of course, to them that's also a conversation about members of the oppressor sex class

There's never been a proper analysis of the "autogynephile"/"homosexual transsexual" binary as institutionalized comphet specifically targeting trans women (which is what it has become) that I'm aware of, which I always thought was interesting. E.g.:pic.twitter.com/pGamOISezp
