if you’re going to send me hate please make it on my actual opinions and not over me just being jewish

[transmasc-theory]

Why are so many of you on this site more willing to align yourselves with cis male MRAs than with transmasc feminists, while calling yourselves "transfeminists"?

You eat up all their talking points. You say that pedophiles aren't real and age of consent laws are wrong. You fearmonger about babytrapping in response to people with uteruses who are afraid of dying due to abortion bans, and then call those things equivalent. You equate circumcision with FGM. (I am against both, but the former is NOT equivalent to the latter). You insult trans men with slurs referring to their genitals and call them bitches and cunts. You fearmonger about "men" who are "invading women's spaces," except instead of trans women, you mean trans men.

You aren't acting like trans feminists, or any kind of feminists at all. You're acting like MRAs. Why are you doing this? You aren't transfeminists. You aren't pro-anything, even pro-trans woman. You're solely anti-trans man.

i used to hear a lot of "you're not really a man, you just hate how women are treated" directed at trans men, and lately i've been hearing a lot of "if you don't like how women are treated, you're probably not actually a woman" directed at women, and i've gotta say i'm not a fan of either of these.

white trans people, please stop trying to make comparisons between the treatment of black women and trans women. the majority of you do not understand the specifics of misognoir enough to be having these conversations.

please leave these comparisons for black trans people to make

[misogyny-affected]

if you call women you disagree with “bitches” or sexualize them as a form of “taking them down” you are not a feminist and i don’t trust you

[misogyny-affected]

sex work is an incredibly nuanced conversation and i hate how so many conversations about it are clearly fueled by people who don’t want to have to acknowledge that the porn they want to continue watching us most likely filmed rape

[carapaced]

if you think people who were assigned female at birth discussing the effects that assignment had on their lives or acknowledging their secondary sexual characteristics = misgendering themselves… it just tells me that you still equate sex/genitals to gender tbh :/

[misogyny-affected]

EXTREMELY funny how you transandrochuds are invariably zionists as well. I guess if you believe in one kind of fictional oppression, you might as well go all in with it and support a genocidal settler state

i’m pro palestine, i’ve said that before, but these are the types of asks you get just from being jewish and talking about antisemitism

[autisticqueer]

the reason we really REALLY need to underscore that everyone can perpetuate misogyny is because otherwise you get "i'm literally [QUEER IDENTITY] i can't be being misogynistic right now!" when someone is absolutely, unquestionably perpetuating extreme misogyny

[thewingedwolf]

do you think the catholic church effectively utilized wokeness by funneling money into the colonization and rape of the americas after issuing the doctrine of discovery which effectively legalized the subjugation of indigenous peoples?

[anotherevilenby]

I do think it's an interesting case of how transandrophobia and exorsexism operate along similar lines that trans men are not allowed to have complicated relationships to lesbianism "because they're men/because they're not women" but non-binary people in relationships with women are regularly labeled as sapphic without their input (or in the case of fictional characters, without regard for other possible interpretations). Both of these instances are fundamentally the erasure of trans people's right to self-identify, both of them are done to police sapphic spaces for the benefit of others. The difference lies in the method, the trans man lesbian is forced out of their community, while the non-binary person is forced to have their identities be made more palatable for the benefit of a community they may not even feel they belong to.

i keep drafting and editing an essay on my experiences with female abusers in spaces dedicated to csam, as there are much less of them and in my experience their motivations tended to be different to that of my male abusers, but i keep getting stuck by memory gaps due to trauma, so tldr until i write that essay:

most women who abused me in the context of producing csam were not, unlike my male abusers, sexually attracted to children, and tended to have external motivations, such as money, and relationships with the men.

many of these women also had daughters who they produced csam of, while that was rarer of the men

happy pride month to everyone, but especially butches, boy dykes, studs, and transmasc lesbians

the backbone of the queer community always and forever

I found out today that there was a (thankfully very ill-fated) attempt to have the entire Wikipedia article on discrimination against transgender men deleted. At first I thought the perpetrator was yet another bargain bin transphobe/TERF act of disruption but apparently not so, she is a trans woman. The user in question had been disputing the use of transandrophobia in the article as being inappropriate, but as other editors pointed out, the way in which it was used was as to be expected (basically saying “hey this term is being used commonly right now in places to describe this phenomena”). When attempts to get the article edited to remove any mention of the term failed, this user instead decided to just nominate the whole article for deletion instead. She even went as far as to say “you will never be a man” to the editors disputing this, though it was quickly deleted. It’s the actions of only a single person, but I find this indicative of how the chronic devaluing and othering of transmasculine people and voices in faux-transfeminist spaces leads to action basically indistinguishable from cis transphobes. Resorting to attempted vandalism of an online resource and blatant transphobia is a symptom of this trend that deserves absolutely no patience at this point.

People always talk about rehabilitating rapists as if rapists get punished by the law or society at all. Most rapists aren’t facing some draconian punishment they’re getting a few days jail time at most while the person they raped can’t go outside after dark anymore

[transmasc-theory]

I reject the premise that trans women are the "main" targets of transphobia. I reject the premise that trans women are victimized more, worse, or more intentionally by transphobia than trans men. I reject the premise that trans men are only accidental or secondary targets of transphobia. I reject the premise that trans men are merely splash damage casualties in attacks against trans women. I reject the premise that trans men are only accidentally harmed by transphobia.

I should not have to post about transmasc issues with a disclaimer that "of course" trans women are hurt worse by this. I should not have to apologize for posting about transmasc issues instead of transfemme issues.

There is nothing accidental about transphobia. Every facet of it is intentional. Trans men are not bystanders in the genocide against all trans people. Trans men aren't accidental targets of trans genocide.

[trans-masked]

I think the terms “rapejacketing” and “pedojacketing” were invented because “false allegations” sounded too obviously incel-y
