Please help how do I deal with people who are like "but you do realize that the innerworld doesn't actually matter and you're always just the body right?". It feels like the majority of people (even pro-endos) are like this, and often they don't even realize this (saying stuff like "you have to disclose your body's age/race/agab/etc, what you are in the innerworld doesn't matter"). I just want to live and post silly things without getting told that I'm a predator for not disclosing the body's age or transphobic for not disclosing the body's agab, etc. Do you have any arguments to use against people like that? (The only one I'm ever really able to come up with is "it's for privacy reasons" but that doesn't really tackle the root of the problem, if that makes sense)
I… don’t even understand why this is a thing in most contexts.
Like, I can obviously understand that adult-bodied systems don’t belong in servers for minor, for example. Don’t try to enter into a space the body can’t enter… feels like a safe rule of thumb to me…
But outside of specific contexts where these things are relevant, this is the internet and you’re entitled to anonymity. I realize this is the same reason you landed on but it makes this whole thing rather frustrating to me.
And demanding somebody’s AGAB feels like actual transphobia, finding a new way to reduce people to their genitals.
I might just say that they only need to know things about the parts of you they’re interacting with. On the internet, that means your mind. Unless they’re meeting you in person, they don’t need to know anything about your body.
And unless they’re going to be seeing you without your clothes, they REALLY aren’t entitled to know what’s under them.
Normalizing entitlement to knowing people’s AGABs is incredibly counterproductive for trans acceptance.

“Mrs R” was the pseudonym of Phyllis Shafer, a Kansas City local who helped found the Phoenix Society for Individual Freedom in 1966, a full three years before Stonewall. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, she and her son Drew operated the Phoenix House, a safe haven for queer people in the city, and a hub of national queer activism. Drew passed away due to AIDS related complications in the 1980s, and his lover, Mickey Ray, spent the rest of his life fighting to keep his memory alive, largely contributing to the creation of the Gay and Lesbian Archive of Mid-America.
“We tend to view American history as this constant march toward progress, which is total crap,” he says. “You gotta fight for that stuff. And if you don’t fight for that, you can fall backward. Like it’s not just this linear history.“
Good quote from the article which may be relevant right now.
