I think it's interesting that when a show writer makes a misogynistic show and she's a cis woman, people go "Oh, she's a misogynistic woman", but when a show writer makes a misogynistic show and she's a trans woman, people go "Oh she probably used to be a Male Abuser, are we sure she has unlearned her Male Socialization, are we sure 'she' is even Really a woman and isn't just saying that to deflect criticism?"

Like I don't know, doesn't anyone else find it really fucking insidious? The implicit belief that trans women are more likely than cis women to be misogynistic, or that when trans women are misogynistic it's because they "used to be (or perhaps even still are) men"?

Women, all kinds of women, can be misogynistic, because we live in a misogynistic society that drills misogynistic tropes and biases into every single human beings head from birth and need to be actively unlearned, a trans woman being misogynistic doesn't 'prove' anything except that she, like many many cis women, is a misogynistic woman.

But of course, trans women always have to be held to this higher level of scrutiny, don't they?

People existing with self-harm scars is not promoting self-harm.

People posting photos of themselves with scars is not promoting self-harm.

People making and sharing art of characters with self-harm scars is not promoting self-harm.

Your just ableist.

No body should ever have to hide their body or be told their existence needs to come with a trigger warning

what does theyfab mean actually

transfemme-shelterdog

"Person who was AFAB who uses they/them pronouns"

Or, the subtext:

"Person that's not truly trans because they're AFAB and can't bother to commit fully to being trans by using he/him pronouns. Also known as a trans-trender"

I can’t put into words how dispiriting it is to watch all these plus size idols, celebrities, drag queens thin. The body positive movement wasn’t perfect, but we had made some progress. I watched Lizzo dance and flute in front of me and near cried. Watched mid-fat girls flourish in their new comfortable bodies now that they could breathe. Watched plus-size drag queens show they too could be sexy and not just a joke.

But Ozempic and weight loss drugs have snatched people up one by one. For every one there’s some reason it’s justified (oh, they did the work, oh but they might be pre diabetic, oh well they might need it though). Or there’s a celeb who lies about not taking it then admits they have.

And for every one of those, there’s a kid or woman watching who thinks it’s just supposed to be that easy to lose weight. Who thinks there’s something wrong with her if she can’t shed her body.

It’s the understudied weight loss drug of our generation, no different from the pills of before. In 20, 30 years we’ll be talking about all the side effects or failures and it will be a shame.

But that won’t come before a generation of young girls, boys, kids have to endure the big back jokes and Ozempic commercials and the internalization of the idea that skinny is healthy and skinny is what we should be and skinny is what is natural, and all big-boned and bodied girls could be skinny and happier and somehow better tomorrow if they just had the money and the prescription.

Anyway, go read some Aubrey Gordon and Kate Manne, please please please. Educate yourselves about fatness & fatphobia and be kind to yourselves and each other.

While yes, it's true that any proposed laws suggesting that anyone who takes estrogen should be out on a list/registry is there to target transfems, it's not a *unique* threat to transfems. Testosterone is already a controlled substance, and anyone who is taking T is already on lists and registrys, which is a huge problem. This is a problem transmasc people have had to deal with for a long ass time, that unless they want to risk being charged for possession of a controlled substance they need to be on a registered list of anyone who takes testosterone. This is obviously a bad thing, and it shouldn't be this way. I understand completely thst transfems are worried about this, and they have every right to be, the thing i don't think is right is when that worry turns into "transmascs arent targeted by this law so stop trying to say these things target all trans people" because it's just a huge misrepresentation of the laws surrounding transition and gender affirming care. Yes, transmascs are much more likely to not be affected specifically for the estrogen registry law, but the law isn't unique, as it has already been a reality for transmascs who take testosterone. There are already laws in place against transmascs requiring them to be added to lists to be allowed to take HRT. Transmascs have and already are targeted by laws like this. Now theres just more talk about targetting the transfems as well, not just the transmascs, and it *is* something everyone needs to fight against. I just wish that when we are talking about this, that people didn't try to make it into a "see trans men have it so much better than trans women" when that isn't even true in this case, since one is already targeted by these same kinds of laws that are not being proposed for the other half of trans people seeking HRT.

Me, a black trans man on tumblr: *exists and talks about the specific oppressions I face and how solving one or more could solve the same issue for many others like me as well as those not like me*

Some rando being spooned terf rhetoric: “STFU and stop complaining we should just get our own movement and stop trying to be a part of others movements cause it’s not about us specifically”

Me: “okay but…isn’t that what we don’t want cause it splits us up and makes the whole group weaker, as well as causes dissent and infighting when we inevitably step on each others toes(ya know bc we’re all tryna fight the same battle)?”

Rando: “no it’s cause that’s for them and ours is for us and the two should never intersect bc they’ll taint each other and also bc trans men will fuck it up with our ingrained natures.”

Me: “…………………you mean the fUCKING SEGREGATION??????”
