The longer I spend here the more clear it becomes that the difference between transfeminists and transandrophobia theorists is that the latter doesn’t think transition is possible.

Queer unity has been trying as hard as possible to downplay any possible transfem issue. Pay gap adding up to thousands a year? Not a big deal. V coding? Never mention it. Trans women are much more likely to be sent to an early grave than their male counterparts? Stop bringing that up. Trans people collaborating with kiwifarms? Just internet drama.

You know what IS an important issue? Getting called a fucking birthday boy. They get all hands on deck about it. They will write VERY long posts about how important it is you not use it, and that anyone who does must be punished as severely as possible

There's only one explanation. The lives of trans women are so worthless to them, so fucking disposable, that a trans man getting invalidated is actually more important to them. That's how these people, who demand we view them as family and allies, who think we should be ready to die for them, view us.

I know people who treat house flies with more respect than that.

forever reminded of this fucking yt reply i got in a thread abt transmisogyny, this kinda attitude is so common. even when you do bring up shit that disproportionately or exclusively affects transfems the response is "what abt me" or downplaying it

[claire-the-apocalypse]

"Damn, v-coding sounds terrible... I hope they don't do that to trans men, too!" Because obviously it's *bad* when it happens to trans women, but oh dear god, THINK OF THE TRANS MEN that this might hypothetically happen to in a different situation!! I'm going to fucking cry. Trans women are so unvalued, these people look at the reality that trans women have to wake up to every single day, and they respond with "yeah, it's terrible when the sex slave gets raped. That must really hurt! But god, imagine if a HUMAN was raped instead? HORROR!"

I've increasingly been encountering cis "allies" saying they're replacing "woman" in their vocabulary with "AFAB" to be more inclusive of transmascs, e.g. if they're talking about people who get sexually harassed by men. I used to think this was a well-meaning position born of ignorance, but I've discovered that you press them on whether they think transfems get sexually harassed by men, amazingly they will often admit that they know they do. You then ask them to reconsider why they refer to "AFABs", and they just repeat that they want to be inclusive of transmascs.

The only way their contradictory behaviour makes sense is if they understand that transfems are marginalised in much the same ways as cis women, but they just don't care about it. Their solidarity does not extend to us.

cis and trans refer to the relationship between your socially imposed gender and sex and how it interacts with society's roles and impositions.

afab/amab refers to how your body is given gendered meaning, with a gratuitous reference to conception thrown in, with no reference to the broader structure of gender as social system. Making it a piss poor descriptor both of one's personal gender and social gender. agab language can also, apparently purely coincidentally, be swapped out for man or woman given a completely strict cissexist/bioessentialist understanding of gender. So I'll be clear, if you feel that agab man/woman is a better descriptor of gender than just calling it cis/trans, that is a purely transphobic sentiment that deserves no respect or dignity.

Protip from one TME to the rest: stop taking it so goddamn personally.

Accept that transmisogynised people are hurt daily by those who are not transmisogynised. Period. The girls are allowed to be fucking exhausted by it and if you can't see WHY, if you must argue "but what about these marginalized people in this identity??", then you've already lost the plot.

What about the people they (TME people) are HURTING? Why are TMA people not allowed to express their frustration and pain? Why do the feelings of trans and nb people who stand to gain socially from hurting trans women matter more than the feelings of trans women? Why do they constantly become the priority?

You're failing feminism 101 and it's embarrassing.

tumblr users love the immigrant reserve army of labor

[the-nyanguard-party]

there is just a mass of potentual immigrants floating in the void available at all times for no reason in particular whose purpose in life is to enthusiastically supplement your workforce

[the-nyanguard-party]

idk i just keep thinking about the whole "oh cuba should stop encouraging people to have kids because that's fascist and instead import immigrants" and it also reminds me of the similar sentiment of "the reason anti-immigrant sentiment is bad is because we need immigrants as a cheap workforce to do the jobs nobody wants to do" and idk maybe I'm going insane

[the-nyanguard-party]

it's not even that it would be Bad for Cuba to receive more immigrants if they could, which, there are certain factors why that might be difficult, and that's part of my point as well. and of course the shit the US and Europe and Australia do to "control immigration" is Bad. it's just like idk how to put it, i guess that it's a very Imperial Core view of things
