Hi, my name is Emily or Emma, I’m a trans woman (she/her/it/its) who’s here to share her interests. I mostly reblog things that I like but my original posts are tagged #emiky speaks and my selfies are tagged #emiky smiles. I’ll even post one here at the end so everyone can tell me how pretty I am. More about my blog under the cut.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
you all don’t even try to hide your transmisogyny
This is an ancient tactic to handwave feminism in all forms since the beginning of time. "I wont take this feminism stuff seriously until a man tells me how it is." What makes this exceptionally transmysoginistic is that trans women are expected to engage with this criticism like its actually about inclusivity, and not just boring ass regular laughed-out-of-the-room misogyny.
The Qanon people absolutely won the culture war, by the way, and all of you deeply impressionable yankees helped them win.
Just as how Satanic Panic of the late 20th century was actually about women entering the workplace and the evils of the Daycare that allow the women to be able to work hidden behind the rhetoric of Protecting the Children, the "Kill a Pedophile" branch of Qanon (by far the most popular) has been about rallying against sexual minorities in public spaces hideen behind the rhetoric of Protecting the Children.
It is a deeply reactionary current of yankee culture and every single one of you that participated in demeaning LGBT+ ppl being visible in public spaces or Protecting the Children from Travis Scott/Balenciaga/Wayfaire helped it penetrate the mainstream. This is true for unquestioningly pushing around whisper campaigns targeting LGBT+ people, especially trans women who are targeted disproportionately by these people. Every time you participate in pedojacketing a trans woman, you're essentially just your reactionary parents banning D&D from public library that you've sworn you'll never become, but with pride flag patch on your denim jacket this time.
Tumblr actively hunts down and deletes legit trans womens blogs as a policy but encourages and cultivates porn bots that use stolen trans sex worker's content. This is propaganda and affects how we're viewed by other users, makes our own tags unusable for us, is unfathomably transmisogynistic, and reveals a lot about how staff views us. Our bodies are a commodity that they want on their website, but our words are not welcome.
Stand by your sisters. No one else will.
Even the ones you don't like.
i swear to god if people don't start understanding that responding to doylist critique of a piece of media with watsonian exonerations is not an actual rebuttal
somebody saying "hey i don't like that the only gay man in this story is a weird pervert and it portrays gay sexual promiscuity as a moral failing and character flaw" cannot be rebuked by arguing about how the character's backstory or personality traits explain their behaviour. the choices made by a writer are all fundamentally mutable; somebody saying an author's choices should have been different is not going to be persuaded by an argument that takes those choices as immovable fact
graffiti discourse is so stupid why the hell would I give a shit if people spraypaint their names or do some cool paintings under a bridge
sorry didn't realize the bridge has to be plain beige concrete. that was a load bearing plain beige concrete if anyone tags it the whole bridge collapses
one of the most powerful tools you have at your disposal is the ability to be normal about stuff. be normal about sex. be normal about bodies. be normal about sex work. be normal about peoples kinks. and then, most importantly, when someone gets prudish, or puritanical, or conservative, recognize that you are the normal one in the conversation, and act like it.
"You think she should be ashamed? that's weird man. why do you care so much. You think that's gross? okay... kinda weird that you care though. you found out about her kinks? what are you, like, stalking her or something? what, you think her job sucks 'cause it involves sex? what's it got to do with you? you're really obsessed with other people man, it's kinda creepy."
the duality of shame and normalcy is not static. you get to decide what is normal and what is shameful, and you can do it by your own standards. If you let someone else make that decision for you, you're ceding more ground than you could possibly know.
Personally i hope we get another 9/11 this year
Fucked up the post this supposed to say Two 9/11s
it's pride month, and while I usually spend every other month centering trans women, this month I'm going to center trans women even harder. happy pride to trans women. the world is better with you in it.
the sweetest girls in all of existence are made to think they're horrifying monsters, it's so fucked.
NO ACTUALLY THIS POST IS ABOUT REAL LIFE TRANS WOMEN
*bouncing on it and moaning* hey um this is a weird question but like do you like me? 🥺
bunny clown..? ₍ᐢ. .ᐢ₎
so howcome we're never accusing "afab only" queer spaces of dividing the community?
we got signs all over the "queer community" that basically say "no trans women." that's not division?
a lot of you are more offended at being told trans women make less money than you than you are at naked discrimination against trans women in your own communities
oh and they do get very mad when we exclude them from our spaces. and by "spaces" I mean "the category we created to discuss being the type of woman who gets excluded from 'afab only' spaces"
cutting your own hair is fun because a) if you mess it up you can tell people "well, i did it myself" and they will instantly understand that they should not be holding your haircut to hairdresser standards b) if you DONT mess it up then whenever you get a compliment on your hair you can say 'thanks, i did it myself!' and they will think you are even cooler than you already are. trust me works every time.
