"Anonsee, what is Transfeminist Womanism?"
Transfeminist Womanism itself is a synthesis of both eponymous ideologies, seeking to fill the gaps formed within each that often leave out Black trans women - racism within transfeminism, transmisogyny within womanism - when Black trans women are often the people that need those ideologies the most. Transfeminist Womanism is a primarily Abolitionist ideology, finding value in the rhetoric, knowledge, tactics, and tools of anarchism, communism, and other ideologies without falling directly into any of those categories.
Additionally, I've curated a "Foundational" folder that gives guided reading to help understand the underlying principles and thoughts behind Transfeminist Womanism.
If you're an author of works in the archives and you'd like to be added to the tip list, please send me a DM and I'll add your information. For fiction titles and art, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors/artists to be added to the archives.

Archivist's note: Remade the post because I updated a bunch of file organization and standardized the file naming much to my chagrin the past several days. This should make it easier to find items AND search the archives. Thank y'all so much for your support in this, it really really means a lot.
this a beautiful archive, and includes work by one of my elders and mentors Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin who, along with his wife Jonina Ervin, are organizers, writers, and all around lovely people currently living and agitating in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lorenzo needs emergency dental surgery, and they are raising $$ via fundrazr. i feel appreciative to live in a time where i can support living members of a rich political tradition, who have fresh ideas on the path forward and hands on knowledge of what works and what doesn't with regards to organizing. their work is foundational to my thought processes, as well as many active organizers today - please consider engaging with both their writings and contributing to their current life expenses!
Anonsee has painstakingly curated a thorough archive for people to educate ourselves on transfeminist womanism and be good allies with. There was never an excuse to not learn to be better but now even less so. Please go through and share this archive!
Youâll now notice that none of those shovelware mobile game ads never have a Black main character. Youâd think with so many of them this would happen incidentally or even occasionally, but youâd be wrong
Youâll now notice that almost every video game that has character customization will always have the base character be white and use that model for the cover and promos for the game.
You đ«”đŒ can help a disabled, cyclically unhoused trans person right now. I have a traumatic brain injury from being beaten by the police a few years ago & I was in a car accident that left me with neck, back, and shoulder injuries (and no car) in November.
The fundraiser for the aftermath of the car accident has been up since November, but the deadline is in two days and we still havenât hit the goal
Hey! So I originally disabled reblogs on this post after we got close enough to the goal & my mother agreed to cover the gap (to be paid back later)
In other words, I now have a car that technically runs. Everything (and I really do mean everything) is in fantastic shape except for two things, one of which I already took care of.
The engine needs $800 of work for it to be safe to drive again & I also suddenly donât have air conditioning in my bedroom any more. There will be a new fundraising goal set and I am circulating this link again.
Thereâs even more stuff going on, which you can read about here, but thatâs the urgent stuff thatâs actually, like, life threatening
Something fascinating (horrific) to me is the increasing number of transmascs on here that will punch down at transfemmes and make violent âjokesâ about us in the guise of âpunching upâ
Like. Youâre men making jokes about doing violence to women, thatâs literally just misogyny and patriarchy. Add in that trans women, predominantly trans women of color, make up the majority of violence and premature deaths experienced by trans folks? You see yourself as the true victim here?
I think more women should be angrier about this shit. I think more women should be loud about REAL transfeminism. I think more women should call out toxic MRA behaviour for the anti feminist conversative reductionist misinfo bullshit that it is.
I've seen enough trans men saying "yeah, I'll give you a reason to be afraid" that I can't assume anyone talking about "transandrophobia" is just misunderstanding terminology.
Iâm going to phrase this very carefully because with the recent banwave against transfemmes, I donât want this getting picked up and used to harass specific accounts off the site. I will not be showing examples, elaborating on what prompts this, or linking due to current site tensions.
Transfemmes, when you are willing to excuse explicit racism, or something based out of extensive racism, to âhave solidarity with all transfeminized peopleâ, you are inherently excluding solidarity with the vast amount of nonwhite transfeminized individuals. It is possible to have solidarity with individual transfeminized people without excusing racism.
White transfemmes specifically, I understand the urge to close ranks when there is a real OR perceived threat to transfemmes and defend by any means necessary. We all want to protect our sisters. But yâall gotta stop leaning on accepting and using soft white supremacist tools the second you feel that sense of threat.
âBut (one or two nonwhite transfemmes) said-â no. Stop looking for excuses when you know better. Yes itâs hard to step away from what racism and white supremacy makes easy for you, that is the whole point. It is on you to do better and not take the path of least resistance.
Do not use this post or make another post to try and figure out who/what Iâm talking about to try and harass them. If you figure it out, have actual solidarity with them to personally interact with them and get them to do better privately without making a public example out of them. Stop taking the easiest path.
