This one is a catdollgirl. she/its. VIOLENTLY TRANSBIAN! MEN FUCK OFF

[paper-mario-wiki]

transitioning is like putting on the They Live glasses and seeing that 90% of people looking at you are either jerking off or furiously sharpening a knife. or both. and i do not mean that in a sexy or fun way, and i dont like clarifying that, but i know there's a 90% chance you are thinking it, because i wrote it while being a trans woman.

[paper-mario-wiki]

to clarify:

when considering the sexual violence against trans women, it's important to remember that "people only view us sexually" does not mean the same thing as "people only find us attractive". it means "people can only conceptualize of our existence within a sexual light" because that's how the majority of our coverage in media has been tinged in the past century. as a result of the chaste and patriarchal nature of modern capitalism, gender and sexuality are inseparable in much public discourse by virtue of propaganda, and as a result, a trans woman is seen as sexual because efforts towards projecting specifically femininity is only categorized as sexual. and when paired with the uncharitable perception of "man", that propaganda can often evolve how people view us directly into "sexual threat" anywhere, for any reason. i could be in the freezer aisle of costco looking down at the ground while i push my cart and i'd still get dirty looks for wearing a dress (this has happened).

when i say "they're either jerking off or sharpening a knife", i mean we're either viewed sexually, or as sexually threatening, in almost all scenarios.

Hey, question. I'm moderating for a discord and we recently added the pluralkit bot to help people who are plural. To understand the bot better, I use some of the commands and find out that a user's system has over 200+ members. All unique members, not like a misspelling names and not knowing how to remove. The user even attested to be proficient with it, so it doesn't seem like a user error. My understanding as someone who doesn't know a lot about plurality and such is that this is nearly impossible and the user is probably faking it but I figured to reach out and get some assistance so to make informed decisions.

"They're probably faking it" is so common but so hurtful, and will always state these simple facts about you:

You shouldn't be a moderator for anything as long as this is your mindset.

You have a cop mentality, and aren't safe for anyone with any kind of disability

Stop asking yourself this question, it doesn't help or benefit anyone and actively pushes people out of safe spaces.

"I don't know much about this area, therefore I feel confident in judging people" Do you read what you write?

[ayviedoesthings]

It's simple, no amount of "pretending" will be nearly as harmful as the ableist society we live in, where disabled people are not believed and supported.

Society treats us as lesser, and it's been like this for centuries, it certainly didn't start because "quirky tiktok kids started inventing autism symptoms" and whatnot. Have people focus on the right issues. Ask them what so-called material harm this pretending is really doing. Where are the receipts.

Speculations on the dynamics of transfeminine lives by panels solely consisting of TMEs are by their very nature worthless.

It doesn't matter if the panel has transmascs or cis women. It is foundationally no different then the panels of government conservatives legislating away our rights based on their own wild speculations of who we are.

Maybe if that panel actually had a trans women of color on it someone would have told those guys what bunk their speculations on trans lesbians were. But instead we got "heterosexual transvestites got to keep their male privilege while male attracted street queens lived actual transfeminine lives."

[storyweavingspider]

The two most accurate predictors of transness are childhood bullies and lesbians who go “im like NEVER attracted to cis men but youre my one exception I think” to girls that don’t know theyre girls yet

[dykeselfcest]

I understand the urge to comment on recent trends in which people seem to want increasingly sanitized media compared to the recent past, but when you say things like "people used to just shrug and move on when there were books and movies that made them uncomfortable" it's like...well. actually people used to convict artists of obscenity in a court of law.

Ya while you and your “mistress” are doing sex stuff me and my affini are doing rpg shit, we killin bosses we, clearing leaves, we even killing secret bosses you’ve never heard of before.

But your not gonna get that cuz mommy thinks youll hurt yourself. My master on the other hand is healing and buffing my ass.

This is a very stupid post

[miss-wizard]

once again. "transmasc equivalent" to some new transfem-oriented terminology or project. instead of focusing on the lived experiences of transmasculine people, instead focuses on directly countering the developing political salience of transfeminine people.

why would a "transmasc voices project" not be about the abuse of transmascs? why is it explicitly and exclusively focused on abuse committed by transfems?

cut and dry.

only in 2026 can you say that trans men aren't women and somehow this is a controversial sentiment among the queer community

in case you all think my discourse and transfeminism is worthless i have been cut out from an entire queer social group at my college simply for being a trans woman who is opposed to fascism.

almost the entire group sided with the TME bootlicking fascist because they said they "felt bad" about it. and i have been painted as some callous manipulator and had lies about me smeared all across campus. my entire friend group dissolved because i "wasn't being fair to them" and "lacked compassion". That i should give a second chance to the dude who said AI is the future, that AAVE is a devolution of English, is pro-landlord, and who proudly supports eugenics.

Would it shock you to learn that there was only one TMA person in the group besides me, and one of the few who doesn't still hate me? And that the people who sided with the fascists believed that trans women were "taking up" all the queer spaces?

This is just how it is for many trans women. The expectations for the behavior of transfems is sky-high. There is the assumption of bad-faith inherently, and the burden of proof for behavior as non-malicious is unreasonable.

Transmisogyny isn't just when people are mean online. Transmisogyny is the unconscious belief that trans women are dangerous and perverted. This group was seemingly afraid to touch me. And with my flat affect, unexpressive face, and lower empathy expression, it was only a matter of time before i did something to confirm what they believed all along - that trans women are not to be trusted. They would never say it out loud. They'd be scandalized when told they believe it. But the unconscious biases nonetheless demonstrate it's true.

Thankfully, several other people from that group sided with me, and the division became an even split. No one will even tell me what I did wrong, per se, but treats me as a social pariah on par with an abusive ex. This is what transmisogyny looks like in action. The same behaviors in TMEs that are acceptable mistakes or eccentricities become, in TMAs, proof that the "gut feeling" they had was true.

The moral of Death Note is that cops raise evil children

[omamervt]

I wish I was better about paying attention to channel names because I did watch a video a while back and this was basically the whole video summed up. Like, everyone knows Light was an arrogant fool who sewed the seeds of his own destruction but his solution to the societal problems he lamented about in the first chapter was literally something only the juvenile son of a cop could have come up with.

To Light, Crime was the source of society's "Rot." And his philosophy on what constituted "crime" was basically about normal-ass people who were willing to break the law. you know, the laws Cops enforce.

It also explains why he's indiscriminate rather than surgical. Because of his own biases, he never stops to consider the flaws in the methods of who gets arrested, or how that never actually seems to have an impact on Crime Rates tm. Cops (like Light) simply see this as evidence that they're not arresting enough people! That they're not going far enough! And these are the values our protagonist was raised with. A surgical strike would let Real Criminals off the hook, while targeting people who, yes, may be more evil by orders of magnitude, but they do it in a LEGAL way!

I don't think the story ever consciously addresses this. The Watsonian explanation for that would be that we don't really get to see exactly WHAT values Light's dad instills in his children - he's a major character, but Light spends far more time putting him on a pedestal than actually engaging with him. A couple Doylist explanations might be either that Ohba didn't condone Light's actions, and considered an outside exploration of his motivations to be either uninteresting to explore, or perhaps too much of a challenge to pull off in a story that so heavily revolves around the protagonist's inner monologue. I think it's far more likely, though, that this wasn't intentional - Light's dad was a cop so that he could be on the Kira taskforce and we could get the drama of Light being hunted by his own father, and the blind spots that created for both characters. Knowing the story, and how these characters are used, I find it hard to believe there were intentional ramifications beyond that. But that doesn't change the fact that they're there, and more than anything it serves as an explanation for why Light was the way he was.

Corollary: the Netflix adaptation that moved the action to America could've been so fucking good but they were too cowardly to write an actual exploration of how Light is basically a school shooter
