I am a child from Gaza, living in a tent... and one bullet separates me from death. Today I read this news, and my heart trembled with terror. A nine-year-old boy was standing outside his tent in southern Gaza... and now he is gone. A bullet pierced his small body and ended his dreams in an instant.

I, too, live here, inside a tattered tent that offers no protection whatsoever. During the day, this piece of cloth doesn't shield us from the scorching sun that burns our skin. At night, it doesn't protect us from the cold, and worse still... it doesn't protect us from bullets or shrapnel. At any moment, I could be in that child's place. And the world will simply ignore my name as they go about their daily lives and football matches.

ahmed-motaz

Our tattered tent, needs your support to become a shelter that protects us, and our hungry stomachs need a small glimmer of hope that we are not alone in this world. Please don't leave us to suffer alone. Help us so we can buy food to satisfy our hunger and repair our destroyed tent. I hope you won't ignore us.

“As a Black Woman you can’t rely on this world to tell you who you are. You need to stop seeking validation from this world because it is not going to tell you the truth about who you are and if you base your choices on what others tell you, you are unlikely to reach your full potential as a Black Woman.” - OTN

i like when fiction treats love as a more complicated force and not something that is inherently pure or redemptive. portray it as flawed and complex as any other human impulse. give me love as prejudice, love as possessive stasis, love as addiction, love as blindness, etc.

i came across the term "transemasculation" for the first time today, and at a cursory glance, it seems to be a far more useful way for trans masculine people to talk about things such as the "confused butch girl" myth than the transmisogynistic "transandrophobia" baseline. my thought is it emphasizes that these are men being denied manhood due to transness, not being oppressed for being men. i'm curious what the larger transfeminist community thinks of this term

Yeah it's the better conception than transandrophobia for sure, and it centers the understanding that this isn't a separate axis of oppression, which helps a lot.

Of course, the transmisanbros won't use it (or if they do, they just use it as a more acceptable term and not a different conception of the whole idea) because they are more interested in denying their capability to participate in transmisogyny then actually describing their experiences.

postal420

prev tags sum up my most generous opinion of this term. frankly i think its playing very heavily into incel MRA hands. as i said in the replies i think it is unnecessary to keep trying to invent a special term to describe Men's Oppresion For Being A Man regardless of being cisgender or trans because that literally does not exist as a form of oppression in our society. I want to know why transphobia is not sufficent? why is it not enough to recognise misogynistic rhetoric as such just because it is being used against a man? why does he need a special word for the same phenomenon just because of being a man? to me these terms already perfectly describe enough the phenomenon of not being taken seriously as your gender, or being compared to a woman with the intent to insult or degrade another.

There's also the terms degendering and misgendering.

all of those phenomenons described already have terms that exist for them, its simply that they are not specifically catered to men or manhood that appears to be the issue with ppl who think like this.

the only reason why ppl feel like terms like androphobia or emasculation need to exist at all is because of a false belief there is a Men's equivalent to misogyny or a false belief that men have it just as bad or worse than the women they share community with.

the term still feels very much like a jealously about the existence of the term transmisogyny in intersectional feminism

if you are already practicing intersectionality, you can recognise that other men can be misogynistic to other men but that doesnt mean the act of such is something functionally different or special just because its men involved. and its honestly misogynistic to suggest that they need such.

and again i find the usage of "emasculation" much grosser than androphobia bc the only ppl i have ever seen complain about being emasculated were men upset they arent being worshipped and served in the way the patriarchy makes them think they are entitled to.

i dont think we should give people who think like this an inch, they don't deserve a "better" term to describe a phenomenon that factually does not exist and never will.

2026 TUMBLR WHITENESS CENSUS

There are SIX questions total in reblogs, the end will be marked by large green text. If you don’t see all six, check reblogs and grab the version with the ending note.

1/6 - Do you identify as some flavor of white?

White

Non-white

Only considered white outside of imperial core

Insecure Mixed Person externalizing my family racial issues here

Remaining time: 5 days 14 hours

Answers amended from the 2025 census based on feedback. If you’re mixed, choose what feels right to you I’m not here to do phrenology or paper bag test you but don’t make it my problem either. When in doubt, ask yourself: would the whites kill you too in the race war?

This census is US-centric because so is tumblr, unfortunately. This poll is also starting with a heavy Black/racialized bias due to my personal followers. The main point of this census is to see how white-dominant the site is currently compared to prior years, as well

For the purpose of this census, Imperial Core will be defined as the following: United States, Canada, Australia, Aotearoa, basically all of Western Europe, Japan, and Israel. If you want to argue about any of these designations, too bad maybe they should stop colonizing.

Reblog from question 6/6 below!

Note for clarification:

*For those who don’t know, TMA means transmisogyny affected (such as trans women, some non-binary people, etc.) whereas TME means transmisogyny exempt (Cis men, cis women, transmasculine individuals, etc). If you want to ask for clarification for which applies to you for the purposes of this poll, feel free to ask and I’ll try to reply, but if you try to argue or quibble about the terms themselves, I’ll block you.

idk why no one helped my sister. I can't describe her pain; she cries uncontrollably and can't move or eat. She's been isolated from her friends. Her skin condition is severe and burns intensely. The medication is very expensive because it's not allowed in our country!!

Please don't ignore my sister's tears and help me provide her with medicine before it's too late.

Gooseworx's account has been restored! This does confirm to me that she didn't deactivate it herself- she hasn't posted about it at least. Which means Tumblr did in fact delete her, and only reinstated her when people got mad about it.

Shocker.

in-the-kitchen-at-2am

When I was four I told my mom I didnt feel like a girl. I didnt know trans people existed. My mom acted transphobicly towards me from that point.

Growing up I was always "too masculine" my parents were trying to force me to be feminine. Schoolmates would ask me about my "secret penis" and be more physically violent with me over other "girls". And cis women would touch me and use me however they felt because they knew I couldn't retaliate.

When I told my friends that my girlfriend was being abusive, they laughed and told me in full confidence that, that couldn't have happened. After all she's just so fem! And Im just so not.

The people that upheld gender rolls around me were not just men or my parents. Everyone is imbued with misogyny. Your parents dont care you dont shave your legs? Well your classmates will. A male teacher is sexist? Dont worry he'll just get a female teacher in to do the misogyny for him and tell all the girls in class how they look like little sluts.

Then I came out as trans and got on hormones and suddenly I'm not man enough. Everyone has to give me advice on how to be a "real man". I need to do the Manly Activities and stop doing the Girly Activities. (Never a woman tho. A dangerous man or a confused girl is all a trans man gets to be)

Is this a typical female socialization? I doubt it. Just like I doubt that trans women have a typical "male socialization"

Everyone grows up with misogyny. Everyone has to unlearn misogyny. Everyone has to unlearn toxic masculinity. Being AFAB does not make someone immune to being misogynistic.

What makes you think growing up as a trans woman excludes them from these kinds of experiences? We know toxic masculinity is toxic but somehow that doesn't apply?

Little girls will be shamed for their appearance no matter what. Little trans girls are shamed for existing. A masculine girl can wear a fully gender neutral outfit and look like a boy. Because boy clothes are default. A trans girl cannot dress in one single item of girls clothes without being mocked. Theres a whole category of bits where a boy accidentally wears something for girls and is humiliated for it. (Because girl clothing has to have different buttons and pockets, lest you mix up the paper thin see through top and shapeless bag with armholes)

Being expected to always perform masculinity drives me crazy and I am a man. How do you think a little girl would feel in that role?

Think of every single "male socialization" thing (backbone, confidence, condescension, misogynistic, over-sexual, lazy, aggressive) that has been tacked onto trans women and ask yourself: "Is there not a million cis women I can think of that do that too?" If the answer you find is no, you are lying to yourself or you have some misogyny to work on. If the answer is yes, stop telling trans women that they are male socialized and stop saying that they are mansplaning or being a manchild. There are words for that, that involve no men (because women do it too)

TLDR: If you use "male socialization" as a weapon against trans women, or think that they were privileged for their childhoods, you should change as a person.

tankie-transfeminist

This is transfeminism!

tankie-transfeminist

does female socialization exist?

Socialization is not a useful lens for understanding how the world works, so no.

If it did, trans women would be socialized female though, just definitionally. The fact that the socialization of trans and cis women would not be identical is irrelevant, after all, white and Black women do not have identical socialization experiences and yet, both are considered to be female socialized.

tankie-transfeminist

(cutting off the rest of this ask because it's largely irrelevant to the point)

No, I do not thing assigned gender or sex at birth is a "useful" or true, or real thing. I think it is a social process which arbitrarily and often violently imposes a gender or sex onto a person's body. It is a social process that I strongly oppose, I do not think for a second that we should be assigning genders or sexes to anyone, (in fact, I think that doing so should actually be illegal, but that's another discussion).

A precondition of me thinking that we should abolish that social process, is me understanding that it exists. The fact that I was assigned male at birth has impacted my life tremendously, in ways I cannot begin to fully understand, let alone describe. It is an incredibly powerful and critical process in the operation of misogyny and transphobia, perhaps the singular most important one to the operation of both.

The idea then, that the people most impacted by this assignment, transfeminine and intersex people like yourself, should not be centered in and listened to in discussions about how this social process works and how we can go about abolishing it is simply ridiculous.

That is exactly what TMA and TME are as terms. While I prefer other terms myself, the base functionality of them is a very practical one; it tells you whose voice is most important to listen to, whose needs must be prioritized in our activism, and who is more strongly incentivized and able to engage in behaviour complicit with patriarchy.

The reason I use those terms is because I am fighting to make sure that a future exists where children are not assigned a gender or sex, where they are allowed to chose for themselves how they want to exist in society, where those terms are no longer useful ones because the violent and arbitrary process they describe no longer exists.

tankie-transfeminist

i think what a lot of transandrophobia truthers are looking for is "anti-transmasculinity" right? like the sentiment of being against trans masculinity/being a trans man from cis people to tme transmascs? yet a large majority of them say "androphobia is real!" "misandry is real!" yet you will never see a disabled man be discriminated against for being a man, he will experience ableism, same with a man of color, or a cis queer man. and on another note, a great majority of transandrophobia truthers happen to be white and tend to think that they're just as oppressed as a poc transmasc on account of their shared transmasculinity. do nuance and intersectionality not exist with these people??? im just sending this ask in here because if I talk about it even though i'm a poc transmasc i'll get jumped by these clowns

I think trans-emasculation is a better term, and this is the correct understanding, but unfortunately many of the people who use "anti-transmasculinity" use it exactly the same way as "transandrophobia", and often they will use both at once.

TME = cis men, cis women, trans men, transmasculine nonbinary people.

TMA = trans women, transfeminine nonbinary people.

Both categories include women and nonbinary people

Both categories include people with penises, and people with vaginas, and people with ambiguous genitals.

Both categories include intersex people.

TME includes cis and trans men.

Anyone claiming this is a binary is being disingenuous or willfully ignorant, which is honestly the same thing.

kayla-denker

This one's too good to leave in the notes:

kayla-denker

This isn't an identity. Its a shorthand way of referring to who is subjected to transmisogyny and who is not. It's not something we are imposing on people, we're describing how this transmisogynistic society is imposing or nit imposing transmisogyny on people. It doesn't care if you don't identify with fem or masc, it only cares about what you were compulsarily assigned at birth. People who aren't transitioning away from being compulsorily assigned "male" at birth are simply not subject to transmisogyny by this society. If they are trans, they're still subjected to transphobia, but not transmisogyny.

msh2o2

The TMA/TME divide amongst enbies describes predominantly how two people, despite neither being femme or masc, are treated completely differently based on their assigned gender at birth.

Enbies who are TMA literally cannot attend the same events that enbies who are TME can, even if their presentation is functionally identical. They are banned in big bold letters on adverts, and if they're discovered, they get thrown out and called a rapist as the door slams shut behind them.

TMA enbies are never allowed to divorce themselves from their gender assignment in societies eyes, they're never allowed to "just" be enbies, take it from someone who presented as agender for many years. The only people who took that in good faith were one (1) TME and I was dating her. Everyone else treated me like an intruder while actively bending over backwards to accommodate TME enbies.

My introduction to transfeminism came when my coworkers who had been talking a big game of supporting "trans people" asked me after I came out to them "I know you said your pronouns are she/her, and your name is 'Kayla', but can I use they/them and call you 'Kay?' It's just more comfortable to me."

It came when my parents rejected me after my older sister outed me to them, but then accepted my trans brother with open arms.

It came when just a few weeks later a man in Stevensville Montana threw rocks at me while screaming bible verses.

I didn't learn about transmisogyny from Whipping Girl, I learned about it before I knew its name. I learned about it by being transmisogynized.

hey btw if you’re a trans woman who was relentlessly bullied during school even if it was years before realizing you were trans the reason you were targeted was literally misogyny

We're at the "JK Rowling is personally funding litigation to try and destroy AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL" stage of rabid UK terf brain.

Screenshot via Alejandra Caraballo @esqueer.net on bluesky

Tldr Amnesty International, global human rights organisation, published a report called 'A growing threat: the anti-rights movement in the UK'. In it is detailed, amongst others, a whole bunch of transphobic groups and organisations, including Beira's Place, JK Rowling's trans exclusionary sexual violence support service. JK Rowling threw a shit fit and got Amnesty to take the report down by threatening libel. This was obviously not enough, because you can't appease a fascist, so now she's going to bankroll a bunch of lawsuits anyway through the JK Rowling Women's Fund.*

You can read an archived version of the report here, please save it and share it.

*Not so friendly reminder there is no way to engage in the wizard books without enabling this shit.
