Briefly stepping back on my soap box to announce what is apparently a controversial take now:

No trans people as a group should be excluded from any queer spaces.

If you hold the belief that certain trans identities do not belong in your spaces, you are transphobic. Congratulations.

Trans men lesbians have every right to exist in lesbian spaces as any other lesbian. As do trans women lesbians. And this goes for all queer spaces.

If this makes you uncomfortable, you are part of the problem. It's that simple.

[imminentchaos]

If anyone disagrees with this take get the fuck away from my blog. People should be able to identify how they want, people should not be barred from spaces based on their identity, and people shouldn't police other people's identities.

In conjunction with this, trans men are not inherently bad because they're men, trans men are men. And men should not be killed because they're inherently "evil" or "bad". Yes, that is a ridiculously popular take.

Niche or "confusing" identities are valid. Yes, that includes trans men/ masculine identifying lesbians.

These types of identities have been around for years, long before the Internet and it's fucking drama. Read some queer history and grow the fuck up. People's identities are not hurting you.

[transmascd]

Trans men and transmascs as a whole need to get louder, meaner, take up more space and become more annoying to transandrophobes

[vicetrevni]

I literally couldn't see myself as a trans man because so many were saying 'all men are evil' my entire life. And it was slowly killing me because I was stuck in the same mindset I grew up with as a 'girl' - that I couldn't be a boy/man because then I'd be evil/wrong and a total monster.

Now that I've broken that barrier, I'm fucking pissed.

The world almost killed me because some fucknut RadFem TERF'S decided to stomp all over trans men and any rep we had to make it 'real women only'. And especially with the country going all to hell, I want to beat the shit out of anyone who sees someone like me and wants me dead simply for existing.

"Oh but you are proving their point you want to beat up women!"

I want to beat up anyone who wants trans people dead. Even if it's another trans person saying it. So fuck you.

Dr. Alan Hart, a trans man from the USA who pioneered the use of X-ray photography in tuberculosis detection (saving countless lives according to researchers), was "reclaimed" by the lesbian community after his death in 1962, which means he was deadnamed and described as "a women loving woman who had to transition because at the time transsexualism was a quick medicine against sexism and homophobia" by numerous gay and lesbian associations and activists (including Jonathan Ned Katz whom I just quoted and who received many awards for his contributions to... I don't know, transphobia against trans men I guess), even though his widow always expressed how offensive it was to both her and her husband to refer to them as lesbians.

Hart was on testosterone, legally changed his name, and had gotten a hysterectomy (that was described as "unfortunate" by the Right to Privacy gay and lesbian political action committee), making him the first documented trans man to transition in the USA, yet he was characterized as a lesbian woman because cis gays and lesbians had the nerve (when do they NOT have the nerve, dare I say) to think they had the right to "honor [his] life as a woman" by having fundraiser dinners with his deadname attached to them, having college lectures where they talked about him as a lesbian hero, and using she pronouns for him until 2000. The USAmerican trans community, including trans activist Lou Sullivan, had to fight to defend Hart's identity and to have his manhood recognized by the wider community by protesting these lectures and dinners and having a conversation with the Portland chapter of the Lesbian Avengers association, which ended up having a favorable response and joining the trans community in the battle.

I want to end this by reporting the words of Candice Hellen Brown, a trans woman from Portland who wrote a letter to Just Out magazine in 1994 defending Hart's transness:

The Right to Privacy Political Action Committee in Oregon has a big fundraiser every year that is called the [deadname] Hart Dinner. When asked if I am going, I indignantly answer, "Not until they stop using the wrong name and gender for one of our heroes!" His name is Alan [. . .] He never wavered from his identity as a man, and upon his death, his widow continued to insist that he was a man. Why would such a straight man be called a lesbian by the gay community when today we would certainly call him a female-to-male transsexual? [. . .] He was transsexual or, at least, a transgenderist - a true pioneer. One who is seen as a hero by today's transsexual community. Please don't let him be taken away from us by allowing his old name to be used as though it were a badge of honor.

Think about this story every time the "trans men never contributed to anything in history" discourse resurfaces again. If this can happen to a famous historical figure from the USA and from a relatively recent time who medically transitioned and was explicitly out as a trans man, imagine how many others from other countries, historical periods, and situations have been erased or "reclaimed".

i figure now is a better time than ever to do some follower pruning.

transandrophobia is real. it is not "just transphobia".

and for the love of god it is absolutely NOT akin to white women coining "misogyblanc" or something. as a black trans guy it is an INSTANT BLOCK to anyone who says this in my presence. don't fucking play with me.

trans men and mascs are oppressed for being TRANS MEN AND MASCS. you cannot separate the transness from the masculinity, and trying to do so only proves you missed the point by a mile.

transandrophobia is a valid term, and people who keep playing semantics about it aren't allies, they just want to stall us talking about our oppression.*in tags

TMA/TME is a transphobic, exorsexist, and intersexist dichotomy. it is also just plain unhelpful, as no one is "exempt" from transmisogyny. even if it WAS useful, none of the people that use these terms are using it in a non-derogatory way.

bio/gender essentialism STILL sucks. masculinity is not inherently evil, femininity is not inherently good.

and most importantly, acknowledging these things to be true does not negate the fact that trans women and fems are oppressed and face transmisogyny. our issues are parallel to each other, it's not a "one or the other" situation.

if you disagree with any of these points and/or refuse to discuss it in a civilized manner, block me. i want nothing to do with you.

[stammed-cleams]

ngl i feel like a lot of these transmisogyny posts talking about how trans men have all this privilege really aren't getting the idea that larger society doesn't perceive a huge amount of trans men as men but as rebellious, delusional women. like the idea that trans men don't experience misogyny is insane. obviously trans women experience a unique subset of misogyny but like, it's not like you can just say you're a guy and everyone goes "ohhh i'm sorry sir thank you for telling me, here's your privilege and entitlement"

[perfectassimilator]

start reminding transandrophobes that this is what they sound like

Thanks for reading,

This is the 10th Anniversary Edition of "It's Not A Race." Originally released in August, this version is months late because the prospect of adding pages to what is easily my most read works was particularly daunting.

I wanted to post it again unattached to the original so I could display it the way it was meant to be seen. Blessings, -J

[hunny--hunny]

you arent actually a trans ally and you shouldnt call yourself a trans ally if you say all trans men / mascs should die, btw.

you arent actually a trans ally and shouldnt call yourself a trans ally if your ally-ship only applies to certain trans people ( based on their gender ), btw.

you'd think this is common sense but apparently its not

[cornona]

was talking to someone and she said “testosterone is poison it will make you fat smelly and mean” and i hit her w the mocking tone “waaa estrogen is poison it will make you fat impotent and whiny” and it shut her right up LMAOO. i’m just going to start mocking trfs bc that’s the only language they speak

ATTENTION TRFS:

op is a trans woman💕

calling me out for this or any other post i’ve made is, by your own standards, violent transmisogyny, punishable by death (tumblr ban), and anything short of uplifting my voice is an act of aggression💖💕💖💕

[mayhems-cave]

Thank you for being an ally!!! - signed a trans man trying to exist! (I was just called a terf for explaining that the patriarchy exists by another trans lady, it means a ton that you go against the grain!)

[jarmes]

“Actually saying that this minority group is a bunch of violent evil savage rapists is #feminist. Why are you taking offense with me calling trans men inherently monstrous animals that should be rounded up and shot? Sounds like someone’s been listening to too much Andrew Tate.”

Shut the fuck up you evil piece of shit. Fuck you. Fuck you fuck you fuck you

Also shout out to the tumblr algorithm which sees you post “trans men are human beings who should be treated with dignity” then floods your recommendeds with sickening amounts of bigotry

[thecommunityoftrustworthysinks]

“being a man means you’re not oppressed on the gender axis” “okay, but i have all the same gender oppression as a cis woman, because people treat me as that, if not worse” “so we should misgender you? lol” “no, which is why we should make room for discussions about misogyny against men, because trans men like me do experience these things but don’t want to be misgendered” “being a man means you’re not oppressed on the gender axis” ”ok, well, like i said, that just doesn’t match my real life material conditions and experiences, and i am a man” ”wow way to be so whiny and a liar!”

ok.

[mayhems-cave]

PREACH. This is what i just tried to explain to someone!

[hidden-underlurk]

woah mama maybe if you hadn't posted something inflammatory against trans men you wouldn't be getting terfs in your dms agreeing with you

[elaboratejellyfish]

Trans men and transmascs, never shut up btw. Don't let them tell you to shut up.

[mayhems-cave]

Woah havent been here in a second.
