When you tell someone about being mistreated because of your disability, there is a common response that goes something along the lines of, "But did you explain to them properly why you can't do x thing?" "Did you make sure they understood why you need x accomodation?" "Maybe they just didn't understand?"

For example: "Did you properly explain that the reason you don't do hugs is because of your autism?" or "Maybe they don't really understand how bad fibro fatigue is and that's why they got upset at you for concelling plans."

I hate these kind of responses. They give me the same vibe as being asked, "Yeah, but what were you wearing when you got catcalled?" They put the responsability for the problem onto the person who was discriminated against, instead of the one doing the discriminating. Disabled people should not be expected to go through grueling explanations or justify their needs before those needs are respected.

audism is the fact that in the US cops are only legally obligated to provide an interpreter after a Deaf person is detained. this results in many Deaf people being murdered by the state for not understanding instructions at things as simple as traffic stops.

many cops make no effort to use alternative communication with Deaf people even after we have identified ourselves as Deaf.

audism is also the fact that our signing is considered threatening and something that warrants murder. audism is the fact that our signing is labeled as gang signs and is used to justify murdering us. (and, for the record, actual gang signs also don't justify murder)

audism is the way Deaf people are accused of lying to "get out of things" when we identify ourselves as Deaf.... which is then used to deny us accommodations like interpreters or written communication.

audism is the fact that multiple Deaf people (mostly unhoused) have been murdered in my city alone in the last 5 years under the premises of "refusing to follow instructions" and "threatening hand gestures" and "gang signs." audism is the fact that Deaf people (and especially multiply marginalized Deaf people such as Black Deaf people) disproportionately experience police brutality even when it isn't lethal.

disabled people have endless time apparently but also actually we're only really around at certain times right? so the disabled person bus pass only needs to be valid after 9am and before 6pm. because it's not like disabled people have places to be right? they don't visit places or work or go out in the evenings.

yeah our covid safe hour. for the first hour of our event we're asking everyone to wear masks. obviously everyone who needs protection from pathogens can arrive exactly on time and won't take longer than an hour to go through our whole event. not like they've got anything else to do, or any sort of time restrictions.

yeah our accessible viewing is at 7am on a wednesday. because you lazy fucks don't work right? we put it in the least appealing time slot just for you disabled people because everyone else has important things to do. i'm sure everyone can wake up early and get support to go out early and feels like watching a film at the ass crack of dawn. but hey we're accessible. look. we've made all these concessions and accommodations. what do you mean you want to decide your own schedule? disabled people don't exist after dark

This rubs me the wrong way, idk why.

"real guys" wdym by that? They probably just meant non fictional men but like... there's also non fictional trans men...and cis men with wide hips...

This is transandrophobia.

My (former) therapist once told me I’m only a trans man because as a child my dad must have shown favor to my twin brother (nope,) and that my jealousy manifested as dysphoria (wrong.) They also sexualized me often (yikes,) usually in response to me talking about body parts I was dysphoric about (cool beans,) but also openly considered themselves a lesbian (naturally.)

This is transandrophobia.

[this-is-transandrophobia]

I'm so tired of how whenever there is an effort to include trans men, cis people think it's about trans women. They always jump through such hoops too when thinking that too

A few years ago some pads brand changed the design of the package to not have the female sign to include people who aren't girls but use pads, cis people were outraged because appearantly in their heads it was to include trans women, so "they can imagine they have periods" or whatever. So many tweets saying "why are we including trans women if they don't even buy it?!!?"

...Ignoring the fact that trans men and nonbinary people who have periods exist.

And now I stumbled upon something similar, a post about how endometrosis affects people of all genders. And the comments? full of outraged people becaue "trans women don't have uteruses they don't menstruate" and debates if they actually can have endometrosis

...Ignoring the fact that trans men and nonbinary people who have endometrosis exist. Literally me, a trans man, and my transmasc boyfriend have endometriosis.

To clarify, this isn't me saying trans women don't deserve to be included in those discussions or shouldn't be included, that's stupid. It just pains me that we are SO invisible that cis people rather jump through hoops to connect such things to trans women instead of seeing that we, trans men, are right there. I'm so sick of feeling like we don't exist, like we're not real, and then being told that our erasure and invisibility is a priviledge.

This is transandrophobia and also trasmisogyny.

I used to avoid my LGBTQ center for a bit because of a comment made by an older trans woman who would also attend, and the way people reacted to it. She was kind of a lonely person who wasn’t really with the times and definitely put her foot in her mouth a lot, but we loved her regardless and did what we could to make sure she knew about center events despite not being on social media so she could be included and get outside the house.

Anyways, when I got top surgery, I was very swollen and insecure about it for a long time (I had peri.) So the day I was finally able to ditch the surgical binder, and binders in general forever, I went to the center’s drop in hours to hang out where I thought I’d be more comfortable going without one in public for the first time in a decade.

She knew I’d recently had surgery, and yet as soon as she walked in the door and saw me she exclaimed “hey, nice boobs!”

I left and didn’t go back for months. People treated me like I was overreacting or too sensitive. Because “it’s just Sally, she’s just kinda like that.” I wound up feeling mostly like I enabled the behavior by not holding her accountable before, so I should let it go because it was really my own fault for “letting” her say things like that. But I was scared if it ever became a “he said, she said” scenario, I’d be dismissed outright in favor of being protective of trans women regardless of the context.

Same woman has gone out of her way to tell me repeatedly that she used to be afraid of me at events because I dress like a hick. Which I absolutely often do, and it would have been almost funny to hear just once. But for her to bring it up multiple times felt more like her saying “you should really be less yourself to avoid making other people uncomfortable with their own baseless assumptions about you.”

I don’t tend to talk about this because solidarity is important to me and I’m afraid of causing unintended harm to trans women as a group for sharing my experiences with one specific person. So thanks for providing a space that felt safe enough to speak on it without fear of having my experiences weaponized against people I love.

This is transandrophobia, I'm so sorry that a place that's supposed t be safe to y'u left you in the dust like that.

it’s always “I understand why you have an autism diagnosis now” and not “thank you for explaining the entirety of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster to me, I really enjoyed hearing about the Chernobyl nuclear disaster”

[this-is-trans-solidarity]

So about the “transmascs have done nothing for the queer community so theyre worthless” thing that transandrophobes have been saying…

not only is it transphobic

not only is it just straight up wrong

its also ableist as FUCK to imply somebody is only worth anything if they are able to do something substantial for others.

as a disabled transmasc, fuck you
