Listen, kids, don't let transphobia seep into your ideology just because it's being sold to you as activism! Here's a little list to protect you from adopting transphobic beliefs:

-- There is never a good reason to mock someone's gender identity and/or pronouns! Criticize people on their actions, not their identity.

-- "Transfeminism" encapsulates the issues of all trans people, as studied through a feminist lens. There is no way to exclude a whole group of trans people from transfeminism without being transphobic. Anyone who tells you transfeminism is exclusive to one type of trans person is lying to you and possibly themselves.

-- Trans people speaking about their bodies and how those bodies are affected under a patriarchal system are never misgendering themselves.

-- Body parts =/= gender! That's bioessentialism and will always be transphobic and intersexist.

-- No gender identity can be reduced down to one stereotype or one personality type. That's gender essentialism, which will never not be transphobic (and misogynistic, while we're at it).

-- Don't take people who weaponize transphobia against people they don't like as authorities on transfeminism. There is no amount of bad behavior that deserves to be met with transphobia.

Y'all got it?

Increasingly uncomfortable with the number of people on this website who are comfortable calling themselves anti-transfeminist.

There is a lot of criticism to be made of modern transfeminism and the way it is falling into radfem practice, but in calling yourself "anti-transfeminist" you're doing an incredible disservice and disrespect to not only the history of transfeminism that this modern crop of radfems are literally intentionally trying to erase (so you're just ultimately playing into and helping them construct their shitty radfem narrative), but also the work and active efforts of current non-radfem transfeminists.

If you consider yourself anti-transfeminist we are not allies and I do not consider what you have to say about the current state of transfeminism to be meaningful or good faith in any capacity.

genuinely I'm so sick of people wanting all fiction to be ethical. can we all just get a little gross with it. the point of fiction is that it's not real. we can be unethical in fiction; same goes with being perverted with fiction, being unrealistic with fiction, and being grotesque with fiction. not all fiction has to be ethical, not every character has to be ethical, and that's okay. can we stop with the puritanism. be gross. be unrealistic. be whatever. if I don't like it it's not my business as long as we're all clear that its fictional.

Really sad that "TERFs don't touch this post" has kinda turned into "Trans women are included in the vulnerable group mentioned here! Why the fuck are you mentioning trans men in the comments, fuck off"

like hey that's something a terf would say. Do you know that. Do you know terfism isn't trans women specific? Do you understand that they hate us too? I don't think you understand

Nothing helped me more than the realization that I just don't have to. Did you know that you don't have to? You literally don't have to.

You don't have to be in that relationship. You don't have to eat it all. You don't have to wear that. You don't have to apply there. You don't have to talk to them. You don't have to explain yourself. You don't have to be finished until then. You don't have to feel that way. Sometimes it's better when you do, but you literally don't have to.

Realizing how much agency you truly have changes your life forever.

"why are so many leftists disabled" maybe it's because disabled people don't really care for the "kill all disabled people" parties but who can say

"Go outside" not in the sense of "be in nature to reset your brain a bit" but in the sense of "go and look at how the world actually operates when you aren't in a bubble of people with your shared thoughts and beliefs every so often to remind yourself of how privilege actually operates in the real world."

"Trans men aren't victims of real transphobic violence, they're just seen as mentally ill girls (and therefore safe)" is a belief that only exists if you have never seen how women with schizophrenia are treated. Look at how conservatives SNEER the words "mentally ill" when talking about LGBT people they want to murder. Them calling you "mentally ill" is not a sign they want to protect you and help you "recover" like you think it is due to spending time on sites that are generally more positive to mentally ill people. When conservatives call someone mentally ill, they want that person locked up and forcibly medicated for the rest of their natural lives at best, and killed at worst. Go outside. Watch.
