if only yall focused on actual transphobia that trans men faced as much as you do on some random trans woman on tumblr making a textpost saying she hates men

pitbolshevik

like we could be discussing how cis people simultaneously infantilize and sexualize us or how we are routinely left out of conversations about abortion and gynecology or how cis men openly fantasize about forcing us to detransition or how conservatives seem extremely fucking interested in studying how soon we can get pregnant after forcibly detransitioning us or how trans men who DO choose to get pregnant are treated like freaks or how phallo and metoidio are extensively fearmongered about or how people insist that historical figures who lived as men up until their deaths were just gnc women

but no a trans woman said the phrase "birthday boy" once and that's obviously the real pressing issue here

pitbolshevik

anyone who tries to convince me that actually being called a birthday boy is oppression is getting blocked btw. you are pathetic.

they only know how to steal from trans women lmao

i think the thing that really stuck with me about this is the way that it frames trans women as cops for having specific words with specific definitions that have arisen out of material analysis rather than what something "feels like." just pure vibes-based reactionary nonsense from the tmras, as per usual. neologisms are a tool of last resort for serious political theorists!

#‘if it feels like it applies I’m not a cop’#is a sentiment that appeals to a lot of younger people and people who are less educated on gender and politicosocial theory #who may feel like their speech is being ‘policed’ when they discuss such topics and misuse a term or make hasty conclusions #thinking they’ve had an original thought when it’s been extensively written about #but language v much does matter as does empirical evidence and well supported arguments for a thing to be a social phenomenon #and not just a vibes based thing that cannot be taken seriously because it’s vibes based #and vibes are full of internalized biases and cognitive dissonance and limited to one’s personal experience #transantrophohia isn’t real because androphobia isn’t real #what some identify as androphobia is in fact toxic masculinity turned inwards and patriarchy #and also women being reasonably afraid or hateful of men or making broad ‘all men’ statements that are inconsequential to men as a class #on an individual basis I guess some guy can be hurt by such things. but as a class men aren’t affected by this #at the very most their place in power is called into question and a more equitable order is suggested #which would still not be androphobia if it came to be realized because it’s not oppression to simply stop being an oppressor #so if androphobia exists it is a thing some women believe that has no social consequences on men as a class #it’s not on par with misogyny which is demonstrably deeply rooted and systemic #and affects women as a class across the board #with measurable consequences #and its not comparable to transphobia either which is another systemic form of discrimination #so transandrophobia cannot be a masculine equivalent to transmisogyny. by their very definition those words don’t make sense #most trans men may have experiences that most trans women will not have but that doesn’t prove transandrophobia #it just shows that we sometimes receive transphobia differently than trans women do #because we aren’t exactly the same #and because they experience transmisogyny #transmisogyny in itself is differentiated from transphobia because the source the target and the effects of it are different #so yeah of course we don’t have the same lived experiences as trans women #that’s not because androphobia is real it’s because transmisogyny IS and we are generally unaffected by it

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

dude your ingroup signifier just fucking bit me

trans-girl-nausicaa

well at least you didnt get bitten by outgroup. getting bitten by outgroup might make you hurt and bleed the exact same amount as getting bitten by ingroup but it would be ontologically worse for some reason

giantanteaters-deactivated20230

do you guys want to know one of the coolest things ever btw. i'm going to tell you either way i just like to give you the illusion of choice

giantanteaters-deactivated20230

when anteaters find an anthill they don't just stick their face in and slurp with reckless abandon. they leave behind enough ants to rebuild the ant society and also don't eat queens. they're not just hunting the ants they are essentially farming them. isn't that the coolest

giantanteaters-deactivated20230

if you reblog this post without my anteater fact i hate you. it's the most important part.

Googled something about quick hydration and it suggested big jug of water, couple tbsp pickle juice, dash of lime juice.

Its surprisingly tasty????

"... ah."

thepoisonroom

that post that's like "we see it as indulgence when others express the things we suppress in ourselves" has genuinely done more for my emotional health than going on meds did

thepoisonroom

i wish i could find the original post bc once you start noticing that others see it as indulgence when you express that which they repress in themselves you can't stop seeing it

drawings are secretly the enemy because they start off very nice and unassuming but then when they're about 80% done they start emanating a malevolent aura that makes finishing them the scariest activity you can imagine

in 2026 let’s start actually noticing and taking seriously the true scale and impact of jkrs transmisogyny and how she’s been funneling decades of royalties and ip owner cash directly into anti trans lobbying thats been making the uk hell while gradually worsening conditions elsewhere through impacting the zeitgeist

[ID: tumblr tags reading #she effectively venmo'd a known hate group 70000 usd equivalent on a whim #she personally bankrolled the political campaign to keep Scotland from gaining independence over their intention to legalize(?) trans people #she started HER OWN hate group last year which intends to "protect" women and girls from having their "autism exploited" by trans activists #she used to slip off Forbes' richest person list bc she gave so much money away #she hasn't slid position in YEARS because she has started entrenching herself in transphobic investment funds effectively #she's worth some shit like 1.2B now because of that #she has explicitly stated that engaging with - even on a fandom only level - her works makes her money that she then uses to do all of this #we cannot just let people remain ignorant to the damage she is intentionally doing #and we cannot let people forget that she got her bc she befriended an echo chamber of radfems who never criticized her in order to do this #do not let that shit slide.
