Y'know, it really disgusts me when transandrodorks see posts about trans women being denied access to women's shelters and respond with, "Well, they could just go to a men's shelter. The real issue is that both trans men and trans women have to misgender ourselves to access shelter."

That completely misses the point.

Even in a world where people let people into shelters according to their gender identities-- as a trans man, I would not feel safe in a men's shelter. Cis men are responsible for a disproportionate amount of physical, emotional, and sexual violence against trans people, including trans men. Being correctly gendered does not magically make that environment safe.

If I absolutely had to seek emergency shelter, I at least have a place I could realistically go without being surrounded by the demographic most likely to target me: a women's shelter, even if that would require being misgendered.

Trans women don't have that option. A men's shelter is not simply "the equivalent in reverse." It's an environment where they're both women and trans in an environment surrounded by their worst oppressors, making them especially vulnerable to harassment and violence. And in many cases, they may not even be admitted.

People keep turning this into a conversation about misgendering when the issue is material safety. The difference is that trans men may have a safer emergency option, even if it's degrading and affirming neither our identity nor our dignity. Trans women are left with no safe option at all.

Now I remember that you hate The Prince Of Egypt, not only because it's one of Courtney and Lizzy's favourite animated films, but because you are a hardcore antisemite who hates Jews and the Jewish faith for existing.

You're a Neo-Nazi Ghost Skin.

I hate that movie because a major plot point is Yahweh slaughtering an entire generation of children for the actions of their unelected monarch.

But I guess that's why you like it, Zionist.

[cd-call-official-blog]

Alright let me rephrase that: My problem with The Prince of Egypt is that it depicts an act of such unnecessary and unmitigated evil from a creature that is supposed to embody omnibenevolence (if Christians and Jews are to be believed) and is powerful enough to solve these problems easily without slaughtering innocent people in turn, yet does so anyway for its own sick amusement.

And does so completely uncritically.

If you're going to cite the bible, Yahweh used his magic to make the Pharaoh more stubborn so he could do more sadistic bullshit.

ALSO... you know that happy ending with everyone gathered in the desert prepared to venture to the Promised Land? Yahweh fucking murdered every last one of them because they saw people already living there and didn't invade.

There is no creature in human mythology more vile and despicable than Yahweh. So I take issue with any film that depicts his manic, psychotic bloodlust uncritically.

sometimes i wonder if femboy culture (itself largely recycled from transfem culture) is a psyop to convince repressed trans women to not actualize themselves and instead embrace their patriarchal role as a non-person who can be used as a sexual object and discarded freely.

of course men can be feminine (and lots of them should try doing that more honestly) but the way people try so hard to erase every instance of trans women existing in favor of "just being a femboy" to the point of violence combined with the recycling... suggests a whole second thing is going on

Something that I realised when I first started getting more into transfeminism that really made it click for me is that even when people say "trans women are women", they rarely actually mean that. Even a lot of trans women don't fully believe it when they say it, even if they don't realise.

We're still expected to act like a third gender. Sure you fall more into the group of "woman" than the average born male but a lot of the time there's still an implicit understanding that you are to not push too hard on being a real woman. If you talk about the misogyny you face, the ways you enjoy engaging with womanhood, or start happily taking up space, people will often get weirded out. They'll look at you funny, or they may verbalise disgust. A trans woman might be a woman, but it gets awkward when it becomes apparent that the woman in question genuinely believes it to be true and doesn't just want to be humoured.

I fell into this trap for a long time. I would feel uncomfortable even calling myself a woman sincerely because it felt like I was doing something wrong. I was encroaching. I was pushing my luck with what was acceptable for a pseudo-woman to do. If you are a trans woman who feels like this, like you're a separate category of person than just a plain woman, you have to realise something. If your joy makes people disgusted or uncomfortable, that's their problem. Make them uncomfortable, make them squirm (assuming it's physically safe of course). You owe these people nothing. You are a woman, full stop. Embracing that fact without shame or asterisks does wonders for your self esteem.

What would be the biggest lesson to learn from the Soviet Union as a socialist?

The obvious is One Party States do not work.

The less obvious is that your primary concern has to be providing for the people and making their lives content. NOT preserving the socialist system.

The Soviet Union's many MANY failings all come down to the fact that failure was supposed to be impossible because communism was perfect, so anyone who reported a failure of any kind was harshly punished. This resulted in people straight up lying on reports and letting obvious problems become worse because any admission of failure to the higher ups and it was off to Stalin's Siberian Adventure Camp.

This caused so many problems from famine to wasted money to broken military equipment, to crumbling infrastructure right up to the very crescendo of Soviet incompetence: The Chernobyl Disaster. The point where the Soviet unwillingness to admit fault, failure, or even a faultless problem at all poisoned an entire continent.

Western socialists general unwillingness to admit any problem with the Soviet Union or worse even claim they're all CIA propaganda is why I have no faith in a workable socialist system arriving within my lifetime because it continues to operate on the basis that "Socialism is perfect, it has no flaws, nothing we need to look out for, and if you think otherwise you're the enemy" that doomed the Soviet Union in the first place.

There's also just the general historical wisdom of "Don't do things the way Russia did it, Russia sucks at everything."

Your goal can't simply be the end of Capitalism. You need to build something better, not just "different."

It saddens me that a fair amount of people who insist transandrophobia is real think that when feminists denounce transandrophobia, we are saying that trans men never experience oppression ever. Of course you do; you experience bigotry on the level of being trans, and you experience misogyny when people deny your gender identity and use the patriarchy to harm you. You do not, however, experience transmisogyny on the level that trans women do, which is the intersection of bigotry against trans people and bigotry against women. It’s not just “transphobia but for girls”, it’s a conversation around how both transphobia and misogyny are heightened when aimed towards trans women. The key fact is that trans women occupy BOTH spheres. While trans men sometimes unfortunately face misogyny, they do not face transmisogyny.

The reason people push so hard against the concept of transandrophobia is because it fundamentally requires one to believe in misandry. For it to exist as a separate concept from regular transphobia, analogous to transmisogyny, you would have to experience oppression both on the axis of being transgender and being a man. You do not experience oppression BECAUSE you are a man. You may face transphobia and misogyny from people who deny that you are a man, and you still deserve to talk about these experiences! But when you insist that transandrophobia is the correct word to describe this oppression, because you think that trans men need their “own” word for their oppression (the word transphobia already exists. hello), you are cheapening the conversation around transmisogyny. We don’t need “transphobia but for boys” and if you think we do, you need to do some serious reading into transfeminism.

Childhood Memories

Photos that I took for a school project in 7th grade. The theme was something related to backlights. I guess the models should've stayed darker for a better contrast. But I remembered being really satisfied with the results at the time.
