tirf = trans-inclusive radical feminism.
if you face tangible misogyny irl, i care about your pov on feminist issues! and i care very much about anti-trans oppression as well in general. as a detrans woman with reverse dysphoria i am never uncritical, but i refuse to add to transphobia and gncphobia. i love fellow gnc people very dearly, trans included.
i tend to use ofab/omab with o meaning observed, since afab/amab terminology is typically for intersex experiences, but i will use whatever language reaches people the most in certain posts.
manhood & womanhood are not always the same as maleness & femaleness imo. trans experiences are complex. gayness is wonderful, including exclusive same-agab/sex attraction like transfem4omab, transmasc4transmasc, and any kind of atypical experiences someone has that leads to them risking homophobia in the world. if you don't risk tangible bigotry experience irl of homophobia or misogyny, please be a good ally and don't talk over those who do. same thing if you don't risk tangible transphobia or gncphobia etc.
cis/bio/non-trans women, transmasc people, transfem people and intersex folks are all oppressed under the patriarchy in unique ways, especially if they're gay/bi as well. being a nuancefem means exploring every single side of this, and not putting one experience as inherently worse than another. it's all about what the specific person is actually experiencing. you can be oppressed on one axis and privileged on another; all of us are both in some way or another, and we all need to speak up on our experiences and boost voices of those going through things we aren't. i am against creepy "cotton ceiling" rhetoric, misogyny, homophobia and detrans stigma in trans activist spaces, and against racism, intersexism, genuine transphobia and ableism in radfem spaces. i boost the voices of misogyny-affected people of all kinds on this rad-leaning feminism blog. my experiences as a gnc woman in a wheelchair who had chronic dysphoric for 13+ years affects my feminism very deeply. i love my trans gyns <33 i know the struggle, and i will fight against trans stigma tooth and nail. i am also post-gender without being trans, and i believe more cis women should be! gender is fake, we should all be free to express ourselves under the heteropatriarchy however we want to.
as an ex-camgirl who was traumatized and exploited in the industry, i am very critical of the sex industry but care deeply for those who must rely on it to survive. selling access to your body is risky. you can never take back those pictures/videos/acts, and disgusting cis men can share those around even if you quit, and often will weaponize those against you even years later, possibly ruining your chances at future work or personal relationships and irl reputation. your consent cannot be removed. the internet will most likely keep those forever and old creeps with disgusting ideas of female/ofab people & transfemmes will get off to it. it is not a safe industry. so many videos out there are genuine sexual abuse and coercion. no porn site is ethical. i am critical of the industry, not its victims and the people who use it to survive. i want a better world for us all. please reach out if you're in it and trying to get out, or out of it and still traumatized. it's not your fault that your consent was purchased. you deserved better.
btw, reblogs aren't an endorsement of every reply in the post or the op of the post. i tag any potential misgendering in other people's replies to insightful posts - often the op will have deleted their blog, and only a shitty reply remains... so i reblog to use it in later writing - as misgendering cw. i'm reblogging less and less content like that, but i used to rb a bunch early on when i needed more topics to dissect. so be careful scrolling too far, especially if you're trans!!
I'm back so sorry that I've been gone for so long. Alot of stuff happened in my personal life and I had to reflect on alot of things. I'm still thinking about more things to.
I love when someone follows me and you can very clearly tell they're not "out" as a radfem <3 love to all of y'all, hope you can integrate radical feminism into your life more openly :)
Hey gyns. We are sick of trolls harrasing us in comments. So I'm making a list here. If you wanna add more trolls then just add it in comments or reblog
âget your radfem shit out of here, trans women experience âjust misogynyâ and trans men experience conditional misogyny. youâre just a terf who doesnât see trans people as their gender.â no but you know who doesnât see you as âyour genderâ? the patriarchy. transphobia. transphobia is a part of the patriarchy. and no matter what a stranger on the internet sees you as, and no matter how much you want the world to play into everything you say, it unfortunately does not work that way. because, you see, you arenât supposed to like the way oppression functions. itâs fucking oppression. of course you donât like it.
that being said, itâs just beyond laughable how this person (even sadder, this person is a fellow transmasc & is known to be a die-hard transfem defender) claims trans men experience âconditional misogynyâ. i mean⊠i guess it could potentially be called that if a trans man experiences social misogyny at the hands of transphobic people after his transition (and even then thatâs a stretch, because social misogyny is not the only form of misogyny & trans men can not opt out of most other forms), but itâs still fucking laughable how this person genuinely believes trans men face conditional misogyny. what are those conditions?? what are the conditions, please, will you tell me? are the conditions, âin case you donât medically transitionâ? does that mean the misogyny non-transitioned transmascs face isnât worthy of talking about, because itâs their own fault, since they didnât transition? are the only valid trans men the ones who transition, the ones who assimilate successfully? are the only valid trans men those who you personally deem valid & likeable, while the rest should suffer? are the only valid trans men the ones you can pinpoint to as the oppressorâą, and thus every other transmasc individual should also be seen as the oppressor, since you found a few trans men who have successfully assimilated into cisheteropatriarchal world, and they are somehow the representatives of our community?
I personally think that tras down playing trans people's rights and wrongs are the whole reason why people don't listen to tras when they have valid things to say. Like yes there will be trans women who do something wrong. Just like there's always going to be someone in any group that does something wrong. The important thing is not to downplay it but also not to let it represent all the people in one group but if they keep down playing it won't be "oh my god this one person did wrong" it'll be "oh my god this one person did wrong and people around them are trying to cover it up". People don't trust the Catholic church for the same reason and a lot of people don't trust men for the same reason. You have to hold people accountable and if you're trying to actively hide what they do wrong. You're just as bad as them
framing sex as one of the basic human needs is just wrong and coercive. you will not die without sex- sex is not a right. you are never entitled to sex the same way that you are entitled to food, water, oxygen, etc. itâs this mentality that fuels rape culture tbh.
