Tragedy alignment chart. Feel free to use, but please reblog if you do.

[mikkeneko]

And of course the second part of the tragedy, which is: which quadrant did you think you were in vs. which one you were really in

tag your trans types (≤3)

[sashasurname]

Due to popular demand, we have added more types!

[euniexenoblade]

Well, with the additionals, I'm clearly Mommy Maid

[sashasurname]

okay this is the Final one! its been fun everyone! (next up is the strengths and resistances... sigh)

theorycrafting type interactions

Knight

- Resists Puppy, Bug, Rat, Horror, Dragon, Demon, Were-; all those things make use of fear, and a knight does not falter

- Weak to Slime, Snake, Vampire, Witch, Clown (things that bypass armor, yes Clown's silliness lets them looney tunes their way around armor) as well as Sister, Princess, Goddess, Mommy, Angel, and Little (things that a knight will take orders from)

- Resisted by Sister, Princess, Fairy, Maid, Bunny, Goddess, Angel, Little, and Horse (all things a knight protects) as well as Vampire, Snake, and Fox (associated with guile, which is a knight's downfall)

- Super Effective vs Deer, Rat, Horror, Dragon, Demon, Were-, and Witch (things a knight hunts) as well as Nerd, Brat, Plush, and Pooltoy (things that lose to physical force)

... I'm going to stop before I spend an hour on this actually

[zoyasayshi]

you may be unwilling to spend hours of your life on this, but I am the best procrastinator to ever do it. I'll see you with a type chart in a couple of hours

[zoyasayshi]

strengths and resistances anyone? (spreadsheet link for higher res)

green is Super Effective, dealing 2x damage

red is Not Very Effective, dealing 1/2 damage

black is Immune, dealing 0 damage

empty is Neurtal, dealing normal damage

so as an Angel Knight type, I would take:

4x damage from Goddess and Handler

2x damage from Brat, Little, Princess, Fairy, Angel, Goth, Mommy, Fox, Clown, and Slut

1x damage from Knight, Robot, Maid, Sister, Doll, Gamer, Plushy, Deer, Nerd, Witch, Snake, Horror, Pool Toy, Plant, Cow, Elf, Fish, and Lizard

0.5x damage from Bird, Bug, Rat, Slime, Bunny, Horse, Pirate, and Alien

and 0.25x damage from Puppy, Kitty, Vampire, Dragon, Were-, Demon, and Spider.

If you think the matchups should be different, my askbox is open. I am admittedly not familiar with some of these archetypes (I thought pool toy meant literally tube rings, I learned today what those are it's very cool), and alot of this is very subjective.

If you think demons should beat angels instead of the other way around though, that'll take some convincing ideally from a demon girl in person

Was this worth 6 hours of my life?

Yes. I would do anything for the beautiful transgender women in my phone 💜

[sashasurname]

oh my stars, you actually did it.

I went to sleep and woke up and its done.. wow

thanks and well done!

@geckyjuno made a type calculator for ease of use

I think it's fun my previous blog is in this chain. Anyways, still maid mommy :)

The phrase "TME/TMA is just asking for your genitals in a woke way!!!" exposes a few things

I mean, first off, you can have a penis if you are tme AND if you are tma. Same goes for having a vulva. THIS part exposes two things

they, the people who parrot this, are mixing up tme and tma with transmasc and transfem. if this was the purpose of tme/tma we would simply always say transmasc/transfem. but no, TME crucially contains all cis people and a lot of trans people who dont necessarily identify as transmasc but were not CAMAB. And TMA includes all trans people CAMAB, even if they may not identify as transfem. It is focusing on the oppression rather than what specific labels a person may use.

They're forgetting TMA people can... get bottom surgery. Wonder why that is. Wonder why they're reducing people affected by transmisogyny to an approximation of their genitals at birth. Surely it's not the... transmisogyny they're affected by???

But the main reason people say this lies in the full sentence:

3. they wanna accuse TMA transfeminists of being evil pervert creeps because they are transmisogynists :/

[sharxxybaitxdd]

this works in theory until you get to nonbinary people. like, if you ask a nonbinary person if they’re tme or tma, that’s basically just asking about whether they have a penis.

No but this post is actually insane. This is just mythologizing transfemme suffering

After some years of HRT I've been left with this deep, low simmering rage. Because what do you mean it was always this easy to be happy

[catboybiologist]

I take a shot once a week, and even if that was too much, I could do it as pills, and so many of my problems just evaporated overnight.

And not one person thought to bring it up.

When I was talking about how horrifying puberty felt. When I was cutting myself. When I was in inpatient care. When I attempted suicide. When I talked for YEARS in therapy about how dissociated and trapped I felt in my body. When I felt like I never truly fixed something that was deeply wrong about me that started at puberty.

Not one person said it was a possibility. No one thought "hey, maybe this kid should go to someone trained to identify dysphoria". No one mentioned that trans people weren't some weird other group of people. It didn't have to be pressure. It didn't have to be "forcing" me. Just mentioning that trans people exist and it could be me. That it was possible and it was easy. No pushing, just laying the option out there.

HRT is treated like this last ditch option. This horrific, mutilating thing that I GUESS we can give to you if you have NO OTHER options. Because did you know it's permanent? Did you know you'll be on it for the rest of your life? Did you know the health risks? Did you know it'll make you infertile? Did you know that it's deviant? Did you know that it's an alternative lifestyle for other people?

No one said it was okay to WANT it to be permanent. Or noted that most people are reliant on the medical system in one way or the other anyways (and it's not even necessary for HRT). Or that the health risks are the normal parts of having that hormone, even in cis people of your gender. Or said it was okay to not want kids, or mention that you can just freeze gametes. Or acknowledged that the "deviant" people are just people, living their lives, that have been violently pushed out of "normal" society.

I grew up in an area that Republicans mock for being a kind of "woke central". And even then it's just. Not treated as an easy option. It was never on the table if you don't specifically already know you're going through gender stuff, and no one will help you get to that point. At which point, it's still treated like the last ditch option. Did you know you can be a feminine man? Did you know you can slap a "she/her" in your twitter bio and be done with it? Did you know that you're oh-so-valid without it? Did you know that you shouldn't take HRT? Maybe don't take HRT? Don't take HRT? Don't take HRT? Don't ta-

When you've been in it a while, HRT is the easiest, most casual thing in the world. Just pop a shot on a Saturday as part of your "everything shower" routine and you're done.

Anyways. Support trans kids always and forever.

[catboybiologist]

And if anyone comes swinging in here with "but Sierra you don't have to take HRT to be trans this is toxic" I'm going to fucking scream, because that is the status quo. "Just do this without doing this" has become a "give them an inch" refrain when making ourselves "acceptable" to the cis. Of COURSE you don't need to take HRT. I'm only reminded of it a dozen times a day.

[amazonclimber]

The maddening thing is that recognizing I’m trans wasn’t the thing that finally helped me. It’s the fucking estrogen. I went from feeling like an empty husk to an actual living person before my tits started coming in. I’d sooner give up my antidepressants, because they’re not as important to my mental health.

[catboybiologist]

Before my longer vent gets off topic:

"your so-called biological sex does not define your gender" and "hormone replacement therapy and other means of medical transition meaningfully change many of the traits we put under the loose umbrella of biological sex" are statements that have to coexist.

I am stalwart in considering myself both transgender and transsexual.

You are my sibling and my community if you transgress the gender that society forced on you, no matter what you are or are not doing to your body about it.

Additionally, the same cisnormative society that put us in those boxes in the first place is trying to tell me that what I do to my body is both dangerous and superficial as a means to strip my bodily autonomy away, and I will not ceded that bodily autonomy or make my choices seem fake and less meaningful to appease cisgender sensibilities.

staring at the dessert menu and twirling my hair and going "should I be baaaaddd" until the autistic girl I'm eating with says "there is nothing bad about eating dessert. it is a morally neutral action"

[mars-hollow]

writing a movie about a violent man in a dress who kills women out of a desire to become one and then insisting over and over that it can't be transphobic (despite it's cultural influence to the contrary) because he isn't a real tranny is. well it's beyond parody isn't it.

[mars-hollow]

reallyyy not a fan of the habit people have of deflecting guilt for making abhorrent and obvious caricatures of trans women in media by insisting that it was actually super progressive because he wasn't a real transsexual!! you see the same shit with rhps. just a complete failure to take some accountability and say "yeah that was insensitive we shouldn't have depicted a real group of people that way and it has brought them material harm as a result."

[emrakulsstrongestkitty]

It's so frustrating when people pull the "but he isn't a trans woman," like yes, the transmisogynistic caricature will not be called a woman by the source material, please consider why that is

[lunaticchimaera]

"The Hateful Image of You is a community building thing for us though." "We felt so safe in The Hateful Image of You it let us explore ourselves." "The Hateful Image of You inspired women to join imperialist government organizations." "Honestly I dont even care how you feel about The Hateful Image of You it doesn't matter that nobody acknowledges the affect it has on You." "I have personally helped facilitate dozens of productions of The Hateful Image of You its not amazing its just a movie."

Silence of the Lambs, Ace Ventura, RHPS, Sleepaway Camp, Longlegs, Psycho, the list goes on and on and on and The Hateful Image of You lives on in the hearts of everyone around us and TME people expect us to just, not care? Is it so hard to empathize with a trans woman for one minute that they can't even conceive of having The Hateful Image of You depicting yourself in a warped portrait with blood smeared on it and how it makes us feel? Especially that its a beloved community gathering thing to take part in The Hateful Image of You? That The Hateful Image of You unites everyone else in enjoying it? That the sharing of it perpetuates its renewal over and over again?

Nah, I'mma be a loud pissed off tranny about it. The least I can do to fight what kills so many of us before we can even be ourselves is shit on every one of these shitty fucking things yall make. Fuckin Hell.

[catboybiologist]

In response to the screenshots:

There's a huge difference between "you shouldn't consume this media because it's yucky :(" and "if you engage with media of any kind you need to actually understand what went into it, including the fucked up parts of it"

If your reaction to criticism of any transmisogynist tropes is to buckle down and cry censorship, you're not doing the second

[fairycosmos]

the issue with growing up in the 2000s and 2010s was like there was this really big push toward "accepting your weirdness" overall but they meant like idk wearing mismatched socks or something not being tangibly beyond the norm in any way shape or form

[liarsblade]

Yeah you're right. It WOULD be pretty fucked up if you were a swan but you were raised by ducks and you grew up never seeing another swan or even knowing that such a thing as a swan even existed so you just thought you were a duck with something super wrong with it.

when men call a cis woman bro its not because they consider the term gender neutral, its becauze they are telling her that for the moment she is allowed to inhabit the social role of a man- a person who you can talk to and be friends with rather than a sexual object to be pursued.

[strawberry-crocodile]

you're right, i'm sorry. #notallmen.

[antimony-ore]

thank you, you have been granted one equality courtesy of the patriarchy I am part of 🥸

[strawberry-crocodile]

actually you're right, i'm sorry, somtimes men call women bro specifically because the woman just insinuated that she does not want to be called bro, and it's a way for men to subtly needle feminists and cross their boundaries. thank you for providing me a springboard here!

[faerie-ouroboros]

The reverse is true for “bitches.” The “bitches” in “getting bitches” aren’t necessarily women, but they’re being pursued as sexual objects. “Bro,” which is connected to manhood, communicates personhood and normalcy, and “bitch,” which is connected to womanhood, signifies sexual objectification.
