i see so many trans woman muses with male fcs. could you please explain why this is offensive?

I think I’ve addressed this before, but I can’t find it, so here we go. (P.S. I’m exhausted and I’m not in a very good mood, so I’m not going to sugarcoat this. I’m not pissed at you for asking, I’m pissed we educate so poorly that I even have to explain.)

WHY IT IS FUCKING OFFENSIVE TO USE A MALE FC FOR A TRANS WOMAN CHARACTER OR A FEMALE FC OR A TRANS MAN FC

Because a trans woman is not a fucking man she is a fucking woman

Even if she has a “dick”

Using a male fc for a trans woman focuses on the fact she was assigned male at birth, that she may or may not have what many people call a penis, an all around focuses on all this stupid “but have you had the surgery” and “but she isn’t a real woman” crap that cis people are so fucking obsessed with.

In other words, it focuses on her body and not her actual fucking gender.

You know who cares about trans bodies more than gender identity?  Fucking cis people.

WHAT’S IMPORTANT ABOUT TRANS PEOPLE IS THEIR IDENTITY AND THE VOCABULARY THEY WANT TO HAVE USED WHEN TALKING ABOUT THEIR BODIES.

NOTHING ELSE.

NOTHING.

It’s like you’re going up to her and whispering in her ear “so what’s your real gender?”

It’s also cissexist for a couple different reasons.

1. Focusing on the body and the surgery and blah blah blah blah reinforces cis bodies as natural and trans bodies as abnormal.

2. Having a male fc for a trans female character creates the assumption and idea that she is “naturally” a man.

3. IF YOU EVER MAKE THE FOCUS OF YOUR TRANS CHARACTER THEIR GENITALS OVER THEIR IDENTITY, YOU ARE BEING CISSEXIST AND TRANSPHOBIC AND ERASING THEIR IDENTITY.

YOU ARE LITERALLY GOING “HEY LOOK AT THIS FEMALE CHARACTER WHY DON’T I GIVE THEM A MALE FC” WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU WOULD NEVER FUCKING DO IF THEY WERE A CIS FEMALE CHARACTER SO WHY THE FUCK DO YOU THINK ITS OKAY TO DO IT WHEN THEY’RE TRANS IT IS NOT OKAY IT IS FUCKING NASTY.

So there you go.  It’s fucking gross.  Don’t do it.

psa: white-passing pocs are still pocs. outward appearance is not always a clear indicator of one’s heritage, and shouldn’t be used to negate non-white components of one’s ethnic background.

Disdain for “political correctness” is often positioned as a concern that some important truth is not being spoken for fear of offending someone. But that concern is nothing but smoke and mirrors. To invoke “political correctness” is really to be concerned about loss of power and privilege. It is about disappointment that some “ism” that was ingrained in our society, so much that citizens of privilege could express the bias through word and deed without fear of reprisal, has been shaken loose. Charging “political correctness” generally means this: “I am comfortable with my privilege. I don’t want to have to question it. I don’t want to have to think before I speak or act. I certainly don’t wish to inconvenience myself for the comfort of lesser people (whoever those people may be–women, people of color, people with disabilities, etc.)”
