everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly you’re “taking things too seriously” and you “don’t have a sense of humour” like i’m sorry but saying protect the dolls doesn’t make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless you’re actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs

“Only women can—” nope. “But all men—” nah. “The divine femininity of—” gonna stop you right there. “Everyone born ama—” if you finish that sentence I’ll kill you. “Men don’t experience—” you’re wrong. “Gender isn’t real but sex is imm—” *loud incorrect buzzer*

It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

given all the rising transphobia and shit, we should remember that white trannies are still relatively safe and will be able to endure more escalation more easily, we're not at the top of any shit list even if we near if, trans women of color however are very vulnerable, and we need to remember they're our sisters, not our shields

First time I opened the notes on this the latest reblog was "stooooo this is causing infigthing!"

Second time was "also men!"

Fucking stop.

Stop being so fucking fragile and just support black transfems. Can you do that? For even 5 fucking minutes?

Here's a pretty good organization that does this type of work!

The Black Trans Travel Fund is a Black trans-led collective rooted in self-advocacy and mutual aid for Black trans women globally, our mission is to provide travel support, connect communities internationally, and establish paths towards opportunities, safety, and success.

It’s not infighting to say “we should protect the most vulnerable members of our community.” Get a grip.

I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

You can try Radiooooo.com - The Musical Time Machine!!

choose a country, pick a decade, and GO!!

you’ll get an endless streaming of songs (ad free!).

I personally found myself loving 1970s Ghana, Senegal and Cote d’Ivoire! Also 1920s and 1970s Japan for sure! Cambodian music: spectacular. Love Armenia and Mali as well. I’ve been told 70s Germany is weird and 30s Algeria is cool but I haven’t gotten around to those yet. Italy’s 1960s is bomb ofc but I’m biased ;)

on TME/TMA: being mistaken for a transfem and catching strays is not the same thing as actually being a transfem: the actual targets of transmisogyny

I know a lot of trans men want to be TMA reallllll bad because someone mistook them for a transfem once and called them a tranny, but the "Affected" in "TransMisogyny Affected" doesn't just mean you have been Affected by transmisogyny at some point--it means it affects you, inescapably, in uncountably many more ways than just random harassment, every minute of your damn life. and it worms into your brain and stays there, because you ARE the tranny they were talking about

you may be a tree near the target and catch the occasional stray, but you are not the target

"male socialization" has become such a great cudgel against trans women because it's the perfect way to launder all your bioessentialist misogyny under the guise of social critique

like, oh that woman is acting "male" by standing up for herself or others? and you're denigrating her about it because you're..... not a misogynist?

mousidy

you can just kind of gesture at socialization theory and everyone autofills it with their bioessentialist assumptions

like, it doesn't particularly matter what mechanisms of socialization you think are the root cause of her behaviors, and it really doesn't matter what her upbringing actually looked like or where she's at in unpacking how it affected her

you don't need to understand or engage with socialization theory at all, you can just slap the label of it over your bioessentialism and bam! you sound progressive without needing to let go of your conservative views, and everyone will go along with it

mousidy

the other thing with socialization theory being weaponized this way is that I often see this rhetoric conceptualizing male privilege as a function of socialization, as if the privilege men have is located in their behaviors, rather than in the society and systems that enable and encourage their behaviors and excuse the harm they cause

this is obviously not how privilege works--a woman cannot access male privilege by simply acting the way men are encouraged to act. that is exactly why she doesn't have male privilege, because what is rewarded in men is punished in women. a trans woman and a cis woman alike can both be loudmouths, but both will be punished for it, because neither occupy the social class that men do

the theory of privilege that this kind of rhetoric tends to suggest locates privilege within the individual rather than the system, as if the system only teaches certain individuals the right set of actions to access privilege, but then rewards anyone who knows the steps without a care for who's performing them

mousidy

and of course it's no coincidence that locating privilege within socialization like this is deeply conservative in nature

it pretends to see privilege as systemic in origin, basing it in behaviors taught by society, but its logic ironically operates under the notion that we live in an equal opportunity society where you can simply pull yourself up by your bootstraps to excise the oppressed behaviors from your body and learn the rewarded behaviors instead, solving oppression on an individual, rather than systemic, level
