Violent rhetoric goes both ways

NOTE: I ought to have made some things clear when I first posted this. I have posted elsewhere about people calling for violence, and threatening violence, and I have suffered violence from neo-Nazis and others I'd rather not name. Never from feminists. So I don't think Kitty Barber is calling for violence. I picked her comment because, to me, the buzz-saw imagery seemed as violent as the imagery which Catherine Brennan has been complaining about. /NOTE

It seems hypocritical for people to selectively denounce 'violent' rhetoric from trans folks and pro-trans folks while ignoring violent rhetoric from anti-trans folks, especially on sites they follow. I'd rather not see this rhetoric from either side. We face the same systems of oppression, and we can't smash them while we're fighting each other.

I’m waving the red flag, color of my blood; females first. Womyn for womyn. Tranz–and ‘allies’–you are up against a freaking buzz saw. You are hardly the first to fall, and you will hardly be the last. Just good practice for us in the fight to come.
