      ESU stands for ethnicity subliminal user, it’s intended specifically for people who are are using subliminals to transtion. Ethnicity subliminal have existed for a while(I think before radqueer) but have always been controversial. To avoid even more controversy in the sub community, they avoided using the word transrace due to claims that they were stealing from transgender. I think ESU predates RCTA, as I’ve seen it quite a lot in the subliminal community tho usually fully written out instead of an acronym. The tiktok users who use RCTA are joining the ESU community and I assume the above screenshot is someone from the ESU community trying to get these people to switcch to ESU terminolgy using bullshit reseoning

    Tracephobes use rhetoric that isn’t just recycled transphobic rhetoric challenge, difficulty impossible

    (Also gotta love how race affirming surgery is described as “dangerous” then “weird” but in a way that seems to imply that the “weird” part is worse than the “dangerous” part, without even getting into what even makes this so allegedly dangerous)

    “Why you should do this pointless term change” Reasons, a bunch of stuff I am going to say based off assumptions and stereotypes with no real point that sound bad but don’t actually have meaning.
