I'm just gonna say it!!! If you're going to come out and claim that all criticisms of men-as-a-class are faulty because men also have intersectional oppression while not acknowledging that they are oppressed because of those identities and not because of maleness... you're an MRA! go listen to andrew tate and buy your johnny depp tshirt and leave us alone.

Idk maybe I'm seeing shit but I'm starting to notice an alarming rise in posts by mostly younger* (usually white/tme) folks with tons of unchecked transmisogyny, be it intentional or unitentional (ie that one where op was raving about how tme/tma is a genital check, the stupid shrek post where somebody was trying to turn the transmisogyny in shrek into a modern narrative for rep, that one incredibly thoughtless one about finster, etc). I feel like it's the result of a nasty cocktail of our current anti trans climate and a consequence of what trans women have been warning and SCREAMING at us to pay attention to on a communty level: that decentering trans women in the fight against terf ideology and disregarding transmisogyny as a whole and how it operates even within the community is harmful and leaves them far more vulnerable than they already are.

Like it's just incredibly alarming seeing people yelling at trans women that transmisogyny is essentially not real to them worse than I've seen in a while, arguing SO loudly by being wildly wrong because they dont even understand what transmisogyny even means or how its works, constantly trying to downplay experiences and even education that trans women are trying to give us so we can better help them, trying to twist the narrative against trans women by saying that them trying to fix this constant decentering of their opression is "in-fighting and in-fighting is terf/fash/cop shit". Of course none of this is new, but like there seems to be a saturation of this attitude as of late and it is genuinely worrying me.

*I say younger because most of the op's of the types of post I'm seeing have mostly been people 18-21, theres a lot to be said about why that is, BUT I'm not saying people my age or older aren't capable of/haven't already been doing this, it's just that I'm seeing a rise of it in this age group. I just find that they may be a litmus test for shifting attitudes and that should be something we look out for, we have a responsibility to do better by each other regardless of age.

Also, this speaks again to the racism of the trans community. 

But y’all really need to watch the white trans people you follow. Esp in the trans masc community, there is way to much racism, lesbaphobia and transmisogyny that gets excused under the guise of trans masc activism. There is no reason a violent transmisogynist, and rape apologist is one of the biggest, most well known trans masc/man support bloggers. There’s no reason another one is extremely antiblack, and transphobic toward black people. Yes this is about nothorses and dead-dyke, and if you actually cared about trans people, especially black trans and trans masc people people, you wouldn’t let such problematic people get this far. This is why, as a fluid transmasc person, I always felt alienated from the community. In college I started to lean more toward a transmasc identity and still do. But when I looked for support in the community—this is who I saw. And no one, absolutely no one can call them out on their bullshit without them playing white victim.

If you actually care about the safety of black trans people, then you wouldn’t be platforming literal rape apologists, racists and transphobes. Soo many of y’all go to people like THEM for help and spread such harmful, hateful rhetoric especially toward trans women and see nothing wrong with it. Same with black people…

It’s just—idk, while I’m happy a lot of people see them as shitty, there just isn’t really enough out cry for how awful they are.

So yeah

and if you actually care about black trans people then please reblog this omg.

I’m not trying to diminish your concerns (I wholeheartedly support this) but is there any way to find more about what went down? Looking this up on Tumblr is kind of confusing (sorry if I already messaged you about that before).

[visibilityofcolor]

Sure! 

Here is a very detailed callout about dead-dyke and everything he’s done.

Nothorses is one of his biggest supporters and defends EVERYTHING he has done from antiblackness, to transmisogyny, to lesbaphobia, etc. Nothorses also has a history of racism and also targeting and speaking over trans women. 

At this point, what he’s recently been doing is lying about a black trans person (two black trans people), made a callout against this black trans person defending dead-dyke, and has also been lying that this person has been harassing him for six months straight.

on top of that, nothorses is also super transphobic because he made fun this black trans person’s identity (witches of color is the user im talking about), while having his followers refer to her as cis when she isn’t, and sending his followers to search her blog to ‘prove’ she was actually cis so he could frame his argument that way. 

so yeah. whenever woc attempted to correct nothorses and also ask him to stop saying she was cis, etc., he said she was harassing him and blocked her. and then continued to be transphobic on his blog. 

I’ve attached some evidence 

nothorses and his followers claiming that woc has 24 side blogs with no proof 

woc attempted to contact nothorses so he can stop making fun of her gender and he blocked her 

here is when woc is discussing that nothorses was making fun of her gender 

nothorses and his followers making fun of her gender, and claiming she only came out as trans to join the argument (witches also is a genderfluid trans person, she originally said she was a tme trans women bcs she identified as genderfluid and trans, however she changed that so she wouldn’t conflate it with trans women, she now just calls herself genderfluid and trans and understands her original wording was wrong. however, the only people to actually make fun of her for this, were nothorses and his followers who are all trans masc, not any trans fem people, just nothorses and his racist friends. on top of that, they gain, said she was only calling herself  trans to gaslight them which she never did.

And here is the initial post woc made to respond!

so yeah, this is some evidenec. if you look through the tag, then you can find a lot of people talking about nothorses being transmisogynstic as well. 

And if you are goign to go on and block nothorses and dead-dyke, i would also block gem-femme, anarachist-luke and yharnamsnewslug. All of them support dead-dyke and nothorses and have been violent toward black people and trans women.

Basically, I've created a new type of device. And I want to go everywhere with it. So if you don't build every city to exclusively prioritize the usage of this device over everything else, you're taking away my freedom. Basically. You have to build every city around the assumption that everyone will have one of these devices, and you have to build everything so that if you don't have one of these devices it's impossible to get to, and you have to demolish the infrastructure for everything else to make it easier for me to take my device around. And if you don't, that's because you're tyrannical and impinging on my freedom. Basically. By the way my device is fucking ginormous and runs on make the weather bad juice. Just so you know.

Choosing to use mobility aids is not giving up. 

It’s actually a huge step to choose to pay attention and listen to your body’s needs and you shouldn’t have to be embarrassed or feel like a failure for using them.

A new report has found that trans athletes do not have a biological advantage from things such as lung capacity and bone density.

Findings from a report, which was commissioned by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport, clarified that biomedical factors do not pose an advantage, but suggests social factors – like nutrition and training quality – do.

The new report is an in-depth review of all scientific literature published between 2011 and 2021 in English regarding trans women and their participation in elite-level sports.

These studies show there is little evidence to show that factors relating to male puberty – such as lung size and bone density – produce an advantage for trans athletes.

Existing rules regarding trans women in sport most often relate to the suppression of testosterone to certain low levels.

Hot take: The criticisms of Victor Frankenstein are all from the wrong angle. “He should have simply not had a mental breakdown” is a shallow take. “He should have been parenting instead of being too sick to write a letter” makes no sense.

Know what flaw should be focused on? Him translating his fear into “what I’m afraid of is evil.” It’s such a common human tendency, but it’s the flaw he actually had a choice in. He took his fear as proof that the Creature was a violent, evil being, instead of anything the Creature actually did by this point.

I’m pretty sure that this flaw is going to show up from other characters as well, and those characters are just as complicit in the mistreatment of the Creature as Victor is. And not only that, but it’s a much more poignant theme and social commentary than “how dare you have a mental breakdown.”

I don’t think this shift in mentality from Victor alone would have changed anything, necessarily—that’s not how right and wrong works, and he is not solely responsible for the Creature’s disillusionment.
