I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.

Girls I am looking you in the eye and holding you tight. 99% of all things people describe as being female or male puberty is made up bullshit. Sex is not as black and white as you think (nor is it real for that matter.) Please. Dont listen. Jaw sizes and leg lengths and whatever is made up, misogynistic, and sometimes even race science. PLEASE im begging you to not hold yourself to such standards, much less other people.

we taught a lib that data centres are essential infrastructure which they have relied on for 3 decades now and that opposition to data centres won't stop all imperial infrastructure being colonial, and the lib shot themselves

boccher

not to imply that protesting data centre construction is bad, do that for sure, we just also need to understand that if the protest succeeds then the data and infrastructure companies are just going to move on to the next most vulnerable population until they can find one without the capacity to protest, and this will continue for as long as global imperialism survives

"Trans women are actually women for real, not in a metaphorical sense, not in a "anyone can be anything" sense, but genuinely actually make more taxonomic sense to classify in the category of women than any other group" is a position you'll find is pretty radical even in queer spaces

tpwrtrmnky

My cutting-edge radical queer politics: Actually meaning it instead of just saying it as an empty slogan

tpwrtrmnky

I am so fucking done with this post coming back to haunt me over and over, so let me explain:

"Taxonomy" does not inherently refer to biology. Because I'm a weird nerd on the internet and was thinking about the science of inventing systems of classification, the word happened to come to mind when I was firing off this post waiting for a tram or some shit.

IN PARTICULAR, I do not mean that medical transition makes you bIoLoGiCaLlY fEmAlE. Insofar as sex is a meaningful set of traits, transition can change all the ones that matter, and I don't give a shit. I mean the un-transitioned trans women too. I mean the trans women who never realize. I mean the young trans girls who know they're different, but don't know why yet. Every trans woman is a woman, for real, and is marginalized as a woman by a society that hates women.

"More than any other group" in the sense that if you're going to group trans women with anyone, you're grouping them with other women. Not in the sense that trans women have The Greatest Claim To Womanhood, you clowns.

The context of this post is that I am making a point about how ostensible allies to trans women will analyze trans women like weird type of she/her man instead of type of woman, and reach completely wrong conclusions through that analysis, which they then INSIST on despite evidence to the contrary. Whether it's employment, medical risk factors, mental health profiles, you will be wrong about your guesswork on all of them when you work from a starting point that isn't "trans women are a type of women".

It's radical because it addresses the root cause of an issue, which is that significant portions of society, including other queer people, have the wrong fundamental conception of trans women. It's also radical in the other senses of the word.

Finally: This is inward criticism. I am expressing frustration with other queer people. I don't care what Jeremy, 57 at the pub, has to say about my identity. I care that Elliot, 23, thinks I don't belong in lesbian spaces while he does.

Karma farm THIS ONE on Reddit, if you absolutely have to.

modern social media should stop offering "sync with your phone contacts to follow them" options and start offering "block all your phone contacts so they never see your account" options

You met me at a very bunny time in my life.

transsexual-feminism

It's wild how consistently "nonbinary" gets treated as just a spicier flavour of transmasculinity, and not a range of identities both transfeminine and transmasculine people both hold. Within trans online spaces, transfemininity is seen as almost anathema to being nonbinary.

It's like, either you're a feminine cis man who is still cis, like a femboy, or cross-dresser, or you're a binary transgender woman 'gender conformist' who has an absolutely uncomplicated relationship to her gender. There's no in-between, and any sign that a transgender woman might have a more complicated relationship to her gender is grounds to exile her to the former category of femboy or cross-dresser.

Being nonbinary is only socially permissible in transgender spaces when you're transmasculine, because transfemininity is subjected to such intense scrutiny that that anything short of swearing an oath of undying loyalty to Artemis that you will forever and exclusively be a woman is grounds to treat you as a male cross-dresser.

You can see this in a lot "androgynous" fashion styles as well, especially in what bodies get to be counted as androgynous. Typically, the bodies are white, thin, and (stereotypically) feminine, save for the absence of boobs, while the clothing is (stereotypically) masculine. The fact that this is an idealization of transmasculinity is not an accident, and it makes transfeminine nonbinary people hoping to be socially read as such extremely difficult.

The only alternative for them is the 'man in dresses' stereotype, which not only reduces them to the status of a cross-dresser, but which is constantly fetishized and repackaged as "gender fuckery" by TME people who think it's exotic. And I know some transfem nonbinary people get a lot out of this, I know a few of them, but for the vast majority of us, it's a complete misrepresentation of how we actually want to present.

These fashion and body standards are not the cause of this pattern so much as the shared effect of the pervasive transmisogyny directed against transfemininity which constructed transfemininity and nonbinary identity as anathema to begin with.

This anathema is typically employed against transfeminists as well. I am nonbinary, and yet I could not tell you the massive stream of people accusing me of being a binary trans woman who denies the existence of nonbinary people and who do not believe me when I try to explain otherwise.

When people say transfeminism is "exorsexist", what they mean is that they can't understand transfeminine people as nonbinary, that they refuse to recognize our identities, or to understand our experiences.

Either we're cross-dressers, or gender conformists. Either we're men, or anti-feminists. Transfems are denied a gender identity.

transsexual-feminism

Every time I bring up my belief that a transfem is oppressed before she or anyone else realizes she's transfem to tme people, I universally get met with skepticism or even outright hostility.

Every time I bring it up to transfems, I get immediate positive acknowledgement. I have had so many girls tell me awful stories from their egg days, some more awful than I could have ever imagined.

Even those of us without stories from the beforetimes still wear the scars. Regularly I'll come across transfems who don't remember huge parts of their pre-hatch life. Regularly I'll come across transfems with self worth so low they see being objectified as a compliment. Regularly I'll come across traumagenic plural transfems who have had their psyche shattered from childhood trauma. (this is kind of a self report considering we are or have been all of these lol)

The reason TME people don't want to acknowledge this reality is because they are complicit in it. They were the ones traumatizing us, and they haven't stopped. Trauma is not inherent to transfeminine existence, it is a product of the transmisogyny these people refuse to admit exists.
