A straight woman sees a lesbian making positivity posts for lesbians. She feels insecure because she's not included, so she asks the lesbian if it's okay to be a straight woman. The lesbian would probably get frustrated by this. She might even roll her eyes, or playfully tell her no, it's not okay to be straight. Even though they are both women, it's easy to understand why this interaction was not misogynistic.

A disabled white man sees a disabled black man making positivity posts for disabled black people. He feels insecure because he's not included, so he asks the disabled black man if it's okay to be a disabled white man. The black man would probably get frustrated by this. He might even roll his eyes or playfully tell him no, it's not okay to be white. Even though they are both disabled, it's easy to understand why this interaction was not ableist.

A trans man sees a trans woman making positivity posts for trans women. He feels insecure because he's not included, so he asks the trans woman if it's okay to be a trans man. She gets frustrated. She probably rolls her eyes. She playfully tells him no, it's not okay to be a man. It should be easy to see why there's no issue with this interaction.

But everyone rips her to shreds and tells her she's transphobic anyway.

controversial facts on tumblr dot com: trans men are men. trans women are women.

As a Greek, in response to the current controversy about Matt Damon being cast as Odysseus, I'd just like to share that one of the moments that changed my brain chemistry as a kid was reading a novelized version of the Odyssey and coming across the following description of Odysseus when Circe sees him for the first time and thinks he's hot: "his hair curled like a clematis and his eyes were very brown".

So may I present my own casting choice for Odysseus:

[plain-flavoured-english]

Excuse me???

[ruffboi-mags]

you are right and you should say it.

[instantduckninja]

Is this the face of a man who would put his own infant in front of a plow to avoid going to war?

Absolutely not

You know who would try that shit?

Is this the face of a man who would defy the very gods to get home to his wife?

You know who would defy the gods just to show he could get away with it?

The last thing Penelope's suitors ever see:

for everyone else who recognizes him, but doesn't know his name:

Jason Mantzoukas

(also, if an american actor is gonna play Odysseus, why not pick the one with greek heritage?)

Happy Pride Month!

Holy shit!!!!!!! HUNGARY DID IT!!!!

Imagine being the gays at a pride event in 2004 living their lives when someone grabs the microphone and announces to the room that Ronald Reagan was pronounced dead. Can you even imagine the hype, the celebration, the pure elation

[drarry]

This is the Pride Month that It will happen. I feel it in my gay bones

saw someone say he's the "patron said of trans lesbians"

Shut up I want the actual trans lesbians back, fuck you

[scramratz]

I think most people, even within the queer community, fail to recognize trans men as an entity in itself. You're either trans or a man.

The idea that someone can be fully and wholly a man and still not be afforded the privileges given to cis men is foreign to most. The identity of "man" is synonymous with privilege and power, so when trans men say "hey I'm not as privileged as you think I am, there's more to it" that's unbelievable to most. They think we're purposely misgendering ourselves to gain imaginary oppression points. They compare us to cis men who refuse to acknowledge the privileges they do have because there's no such thing as a man that isn't privileged.

Its upsetting because it puts us in a bind. Either we suck it up and take the very real oppression we face head on and keep it to ourselves, or we advocate for ourselves and face ridicule for implying we aren't privileged or we're outright misgendered.

[hoodiegal]

I haven't seen anyone claim trans men have the same privileges as cis men, that's an odd take.

What I do see a lot of is people pointing out that trans men have privileges that aren't afforded to trans women of the same socioeconomic standing, and trans men responding to that with denial, harassment, and ridicule.

Privilege isn't binary. It's not that you either have all of it or none of it. But that's how a lot of trans men react when it is pointed out that they do have some level of privilege over trans women.

"They compare us to cis men who refuse to acknowledge the privileges they do have" yeah I wonder why that is.

[hoodiegal]

I've had three different people respond to this in reblogs/asks with variations of "I can't believe you said trans men have the exact same privileges as cis men and categorically face no discrimination ever, that's so wrong of you!"

If this wasn't the piss on the poor website, I'd be impressed with the level of illiteracy

they're still terming random transfems as i type this i see which does make quite a statement doing this today specifically

[puppetstuffing]

watched three girls who reblogged its new blog mutual aidpost (made literally 15 minutes ago) already disappear from its notifs. transfems are not included in their pride :/

[puppetedlove]

[tamamowand]

QUITE the statement to be nuking transfems at the current accelerated pace right at the start of pride month like this, isn't it

[godlessondheimite]

In 2026, the chicest thing a gay actor can do is never explicitly come out as gay but also make it abundantly clear that he is. Coming out is too modern. Staying closeted is too old fashioned. But this method merges contemporary freedom with Old Hollywood glamour and allure, and it weeds out the dumbest people who truly don’t get it. I call it the Pascal Method.

[nobodys-odyssey]

Taylor Swift does this

[godlessondheimite]

no she doesn’t

[nobodys-odyssey]

You clearly don't go here or to queer history and signaling, or both, enough to have this conversation and I'm not going to explain it to you. You could have asked questions, you could have done even a modicum of research. You didn't and you made yourself look ignorant. Goodbye.

why are you always bitching about cis women having boundaries and not cis men who are the ones who are statistically far more likely to murder you? god forbid women don't spend all their emotional labor on centering you 24/7. go after the transphobic politicians or something, those are the actual fascists who want you dead.

those "boundaries" get us murdered lol. trans women who can't access women's shelters or other forms of housing because of cis women's "boundaries" are left on the streets to be assaulted and murdered

if you want trans women out of women's spaces, and the rationale for those spaces existing is to protect from violence, then you are saying that trans women don't deserve protection from the same violence despite being at an even higher risk of it than you

[bugdotjpeg]

having a trans woman there as an extremely minor background character that I don't even remember ever being mentioned to be trans in movie, when the much bigger character 'weird barbie' actor Kate McKinnon has actively done and been in transmisogynistic skits on both SNL and the big gay sketch show is not 'openly trans positive'. Especially when the fucking ending of that movie to show she was a 'real woman' was to make sure the audience knew she had a vagina. that movie is so fucking cis are we kidding me

[orcbara]

i swear to god if people don't start understanding that responding to doylist critique of a piece of media with watsonian exonerations is not an actual rebuttal

[orcbara]

somebody saying "hey i don't like that the only gay man in this story is a weird pervert and it portrays gay sexual promiscuity as a moral failing and character flaw" cannot be rebuked by arguing about how the character's backstory or personality traits explain their behaviour. the choices made by a writer are all fundamentally mutable; somebody saying an author's choices should have been different is not going to be persuaded by an argument that takes those choices as immovable fact

If this ends 50/50 I think it’s totally fair to call it a tie no matter which bar is blue, they deserve it :)

how do you challenge transmisogyny? how can you challenge transmisogyny? what tools are afforded to you? what tools do you chose to employ? sure anyone can become a target. how do you defend yourself? how do you challenge their claims? what contradictions do you point to? why and how are they wrong? why is this violent? who benefits?

this is why we make the distinction of tme and tma
