Faecraft

23, It/Its, TME, Minors DNI

[lefayfolkwitch]

(finally, a new pinned post)

I honestly discuss whatever the fuck on here.

I'm Fawn. 23. My pronouns are it/its, fae/faer, they/them, & star/star. I'm nonbinary (tme).

I talk about my gender identity frequently. Some words I use to describe my gender identity include demifemme, genderfae, witchgender, wiccegender, and stargender.

I'm a lesbian oriented aroace.

I'm disabled.

I'm a writer/poet/lyricist. I'm a folk singer in a band I co-founded called The Fence Cats. I mainly post art stuff on @faeryvoid, but I suck at managing that blog and sometimes post over here instead.

I'm a Contemporary Pagan and a Sanatani. (Quick note, though Sanatana Dharma does informs my Paganism, it's important to understand they're separate practices, and I don't mix them. I'm not trying to encourage cultural appropriation.) I'm also a witchcraft practitioner. I'd mainly consider myself a folk witch and primarily study and practice Celtic, English, and Slavic folk magic.

I'm an otherkin and a therian too.

On occasion, I'll talk about shows, movies, comics, etc, that like on here, but it's rare. I don't really feel like listing all of the media that I might hypothetically talk about, lol.

You know expect whatever.

It used to be feminism 101 that using male terms by default is bad, but then trans women wanted a piece of that pie and suddenly everyone becomes philosophers and etymologists discussing the nuances of language instead of just listening to women

[juniper776]

if you tell a trans woman she is "enforcing passing culture" by wanting to pass and expressing it i honestly hope nothing good happens in your life ever after that

[alpineprincess]

tme people, when a trans woman is being vocal about grieving the childhood that she never got to have, it is incredibly disrespectful to lecture her about the things that suck about growing up as a girl, because we DID grow up as girls. girls who were deprived at every angle of all the joys we sought, shoved into places and spaces where we did not belong, tortured by a community with a deep hatred of transfemininity.

if your instinct when confronted with a trans woman's grief is to contradict her and "correct" her, you need to do some serious self-reflection about why you believe it's your place to speak over her.

[muzzled-deer]

Yall. I just saw a post calling transfeminists "transandrophobic rad fems". Yall. Have we. Have we lost the plot.

[lyra-gutters]

Tumblr is a magical place where you can post abt how transfems being excluded from lesbian spaces is a huger & more widespread issue than transmascs & men being excluded from those spaces... and in response you'll get self-identifying radfems (some transmasc!!) calling you slurs AND transmascs & men calling you a radfem 🤡

[redcat117]

hot take that im probably gonna get a bunch of transandroboy hate from, but transmascs aren't erased or invisible

it's just that there's so much hatred, vitriol, disgust, and harm targeting transfeminized people, that this hypervisibility makes just existing with normal amounts of visibility, and people rightfully centering the hypervisible in conversations "feel" like "invisibility" or "erasure"

which is again, another way transmascs and trans men have privilege over transfems and trans women

[muzzled-deer]

I'm fucking tired of people's critiques of the TMA/TME framework being "well technically I'm TMA because someone thought I was a trans woman and hate crimed me". Like yeah. Imagine what its like for actual trans femmes

[healsypally]

TME people that are not in active, boisterous protest with their nearest lgbt/queer/etc center for allowing and upholding anything “afab-only” are violent transmisogynists completely fine with segregationist policy as long as they aren’t the ones being discriminated against.

“There’s no lgbt space within ten quadrillion miles of me though” then pick one online that you already are a part of, and do the exact same.

If none of you show up on the goddamn news for disruption, none of you are protesting hard enough.

[healsypally]

“Lol learn queer history!”

Queer history has blood on its hands for violently banning trans women from women’s and lesbian’s resources, housing, and spaces. And this is true for however long you wanna go back, for ALL TMA people.

Appealing to conservative tradition is fascist, actually! Undoing hatred, bigotry, discrimination, segregation, and transmisogyny is actually a good thing!

I know, directly intuitive things might be counter intuitive if you’re so steeped in bioessentialism that you throw trans women’s literal segregation out of queer history in our face as if that’s somehow our fault that you’ve orchestrated our mass death for literal goddamn generations!

What an absolute embarrassment and indictment of TME queers people, and ESPECIALLY the TME trans people who were there the whole time and let their sisters fucking drown.

Fucking do something!!! Holy fuck!!!!!

[lesbian-sweeney-todd]

What you must understand is:

1. Men are systematically privileged over women.

2. Men love to take advantage of that privilege while simultaneously denying that it exists.

3. This dynamic does not change when the men and women in question are trans.

[voidpumpkin]

tme enbies, especially those who aren't medically transistioning genuinely have some of the worst takes on passing guides full stop. "why do they all encourage stereotypical gender presentation, don't you know you can pass will still bring gnc'

A) the point of a passing guide is not to encourage and condone stereotypical gender presentation but is a guide on how to achieve it because the goal of many trans people is to be perceived as their gender by cis society and reduce the violence they face for being trans by being perceived as as cis due to passing

B) Due to how scrutinised transgender people's gender presentation is, it is not until a lot of us have been on hormones for years, and also received several surgeries and voice training that we receive the privilege of being able to explore other gender presentations while still being perceived as our gender/passing. Doing so before hand will get us clocked as trans, take it up with patriarchy and the threat of transphobic violence rather than trans people trying to navigate this

C) trans people are inherently gnc, there is literally nothing more gnc than choosing a gender other than your assigned one because the entirety of patriarchy is built around the idea of 'you are your assigned gender, you are not and cannot be anything other than it'. Stop trying to insist that trans people trying to navigate and survive this world is reinforcing the patriarchy.

I need to emphasise I've encountered this exact stance so many times, please, other non binary people who aren't interested in passing you need to sit down and listen to the people who make and adhere to these guides, I assure you they are not doing this because they think women should be housewives and men should be soldiers.

"Stop scrolling and please help me spread the word, because if I've landed on your page you're most likely either a black woman or someone who cares about black women and the simple phrase I'm about to share could help save a black woman's life.

Doctors are to black women what police officers are to black men. That may seem controversial but I believe it to be true and I speak from personal experience.

If you've seen this TikTok you know that a 2016 study showed that 50% of medical students and residents thought that black people couldn't feel pain the same as white people.

And we learned from this video that because of a 1999 study, to this day, there's a black correction factor for the creatinin levels in black people's kidneys, meaning we're less likely to recieve a kidney transplant if needed.

So if you go to a doctor, feel you aren't getting proper treatment or they refuse the treatment you've requested, say to them the following:

I will need you to document on record that you are refusing the treatment (or medicine) I've requested, and the reason you are doing so."

[dovewithscales]

This works. I have used it in other situations. If medical staff have to document and take responsibility and be on the hook legally for doing shady shit they behave much differently.

If you weren’t already going to spread this advice because black women are at risk, then spread it because it’s applicable to everyone else as well, including you reading this.

But particularly women, and especially black women.

if anyone was curious how things are going over on tme transmisogynist tumblr now, here's an update. it was always going this way

[calamity-corner]

oh and let's not forget that transmascvoicesproject is platforming random anons accusing transfems of being degenerate perverts and going "yikes, that's pretty messed up, i always got the feeling she was secretly a pervert anyway"

🔑🔑🔑

[calamity-corner]

it's crazy watching this unfold in real time because it's exactly what unfolded in real time with isff.

transfem-centered blog run by a transfem gets co-opted by tmes who feel left out, get told off for the glaringly obvious transmisogyny in the co-opted version, and immediately spiral into even more full blown aggressive transmisogyny, twerfs and tmras rally to defense, copycat and parody accounts pop up everywhere, and suddenly the transfem's project is no longer about her project, the primary association is only the transmisogynistic tme bullshit.

whether for or against transmascvoicesproject, people are only talking about that now, the conversation has been completely derailed from what mouse was actually doing. and she was doing something really fucking important! i fucking hate it here no one ever learns. isff deserves better and mousidy deserves better

[calamity-corner]

SAME SHIT HAPPENED TO YAY-BUNNIES

[healsypally]

If you say “the supreme court ruled to ban transgender athletes today,” then I can tell you don’t care one iota about trans women.

They banned trans women, trans girls, and nonbinary TMA people. They did NOT ban ALL trans athletes. Being specific about who is harmed is 100% necessary to actually undo harm.

It is DAMN important to name the transmisogyny, just as much as it is to name the transphobia. It is directly against the foundation of intersectionality to try to flatten two separate intersecting oppressions into one.

TME people oppress TMA people. To say that some TME people are harmed when only TMA people are harmed denies transmisogyny in the entire first place.

[healsypally]

Copy&Pasting my post from the replies because i STILL am blocking people parroting misinformation:

Please read all the replies before spreading the same misinformation that has already been debunked.

It is not true that trans men/mascs are “excluded by default.”

As already said in a reply below, “Trans men on T can compete if they get a Therapeutic Use Exemption as outlined by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Trans women are being specifically and explicitly banned by law,” and therefore DO NOT have access to ANY exemptions that trans men have access to.

Here is a link that outlines it, also grabbed from the comments below.

https://www.wada-ama.org/sites/default/files/2023-12/tue_physician_guidelines_transgender_athletes_-_version_2.1_-_october_2023.pdf

Also, they specifically did not ban trans men so that they could claim the ban was not transphobic in nature.

If you cannot accept these basic facts, i cannot believe you are bringing anything up in good faith.

Being excluded from bigotry and oppression is not its own new form of bigotry or oppression.

[dogstrogen]

transmisogynistic transmascs are so funny when they say shit like "these evil trans girls doing forcefem encourages transmascs to detransition" because it's not only untrue but just complete terfesque projection. nobody wants transmascs to detransition more than transmascs and it shows with the way so many of y'all are so determined to cling to your cagab and be perceived as women who are pretending to be men 🤷🏿‍♀️

[kayla-denker]

TME/TMA isn't "creating a binary", it's describing and criticizing one that transmisogynists created and forced on us.

Do you think that describing and criticizing racism is "creating a binary" between racialized people and white people?
