I feel like simply calling JK Rowling a transphobe isn't strong enough anymore. Like. This is not your grandpa calling you by your deadname at a restaurant kind of transphobic. This is her wanting to eradicate all trans people (with an extra special hatred towards trans women specifically). This is her trying just that by personally funding transphobic hate groups with millions to push around laws in the UK. It is not hyperbolic to call her a dangerous, genocidal maniac.

It's not about cancelling a problematic writer. It's about literally trying to save lives by denying her as much money and power as possible.

IDK I think if cis men are being told that being fat will lower their testosterone and make them Insufficiently Masculine, and cis women are being told that being fat will raise their testosterone and make them Excessively Masculine, and fat trans people are being denied the right to medically transition if they're fat, and thin trans people are warned against HRT because it will make them fat (and this is said about both testosterone and estrogen HRT), and androgynous-presenting people are told that only thin people count as androgynous...

Then maybe...

Maybe...

Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.

I feel like some people on tumblr genuinely cannot fathom the idea of relating to transmascs/admitting transmascs were right about something.

Every time I come on here, I'll see another 'transfeminist' with hundreds or thousands of notes, talking about a phenomenon that is supposedly unique to 'tma' people, and then I'll squint at it and its literally something transmascs have also been talking about on this site for over a year*.

The entire concept of malgendering (only being gendered one way when it can be used against you)

Invisibility messing with statistics

Being in cis men's spaces often being more dangerous than cis women's spaces as a visibly trans person

Permanent health issues because of gendered expectations growing up even if thats not the gender you identify with

*Im not necessarily saying transmascs talked about it first because no one knows who 'did it first' and thats a dumb way to think about it. I mean stuff trfs have been making fun of transmascs for talking about but suddenly understanding when the same logic is applied to transfem issues.

[msh2o2]

So what you're actually describing here is your own lack of reading comprehension. Instead of actually understanding what we're saying, you're trying to force it into a box that you understand from your own experience, and since this is not the square hole, you're shaving off the pieces that make it uniquely our experience. In other words: you're looking at the transmisogyny we experience, cutting out the misogyny, and then saying "Look! It was just transphobia all along."

Furthermore, and this is the big one you TMEs just refuse to understand: trans women are erased even in trans spaces. In the spaces that are dedicated to "trans people," you have a voice, but we still don't. You already have dedicated places where you can discuss the way transphobia impacts your lives as transmascs and TME enbies.

But in these trans spaces, transfems are still silenced and excluded. That is why it's so important that we have a place to talk about these things where TME people aren't going to talk over us. Even if we are describing a rare experience that TME trans people experience 1 for 1, we still need a place to talk about it without having you barge in and talk over us.

We have no trouble "relating to transmascs," we have trouble getting a word in edgewise, hence the need for our own spaces.

And no, none of this is new discussion. "Talking about on this site for over a year." Dude. A lot of these discussions predate the damned website. Transmen are not, have never been, and will never be the pioneers on transfeminist theory nor the experts on our experiences.

I challenge you to start looking at transfeminist theory while posing yourself the question, "what sets this apart from my experience," rather than through the lens of how you can make it conform to what you already know. You might learn something. But that would require you to read in good faith something a woman wrote.

[that-grassbro]

I think the issue here is that you assumed that I was coming from a specific stance and thus misread my post and got hostile for no reason.

I am not saying transfems do not have unique experiences. I am saying, that there has been a phenomenon on here of trfs (a specific type of radical and very bigoted transfeminists) purposefully misconstruing, diminishing, villainising transmasc theories.

I am talking specifically about trfs (and other transandrophobic groups) who can understand the logic transmascs use to talk about our unique experiences when applying it to transfem's unique experiences but not when transmascs are talking about ours.

For example, a recent post about how 'tme trans people' cannot understand how 'tmas' are always gendered in the way that is the worst for them. they are gendered as men to keep them away from support while gendered as women (or less than) when they are being oppressed.

This was ironic to me, because I have seen dozens of transmascs being called 'tmras', 'birthday boys', 'grasping at straws', 'wanting to have their cake and eat it too', 'purposefully misgendering yourselves', 'hiding behind agab', for applying this exact same logic to their own unique experiences. My post is about how some bigoted people are so blinded by hate, that they will dismiss a reasoning/framework simply because transmascs said it. That they refuse to relate or accept things because transmascs said them, even if they know they can apply the same logic to themselves or other groups.

[that-grassbro]

Lmao why do I assume the best of you crazy ass people. Anyway here's my point getting proven:

TRFs whole issue with transmascs talking about 'being gendered the way thats worst for us' isn't that they dont comprehend the logic, its that they think we're liars. We're hysterical. We should listen to them as they tell us what our experiences our while complaining that WE'RE the ones talking over them.

These people are bigots

"Trans athletes show have their own league instead of trying to get into womens sports."

Over the span of 8 years, there have been 17 trans-femme athletes competing in high school sports in the state of ohio.

In different sports.

The trans girl track team wins every meet because theres no one to compete against. The football team gets disqualified every time because theres not enough people to play.

This is just another form of exclusion

All of the above, plus:

For years after 9/11 we were constantly told “NEVER FORGET” and the idea was basically “keep feeling sad and afraid and especially ANGRY forever; don’t let time dull your emotional response like it’s naturally supposed to; continue to justify the injustices by feeling this way all the time.” And the 3000 deaths were constantly pointed to as this huge deal that justified any lengths to go to.

And then Covid hit. And there were several points during the height of the pandemic (because fun fact, according to the actual definitions of a pandemic, *it’s not technically over yet!* ) where we were having a 9/11’s worth of deaths every week or so. And suddenly 3000 deaths were not a big deal at all. Instead of being enough reason to go to war far away and strip us at home of many rights too, they weren’t even enough justification to make people wear a damn piece of fabric over their face.

3000 people died once and now the government can legally wiretap anyone without a warrant, and hold people at Gitmo under suspicion of terrorism (no need for due process)… 3000 people dying every week but we should all still be going out to brunch and concerts and who cares about the disabled and immunocompromised?

Something in me broke. Make all the 9/11 jokes you want.

"Trans kids shouldn't be a priority talking point right now because they're less than 1% of the population."

... so its cool to legislate the crap out of a minority as long its a minority you dont care about. Ok cool cool cool.

you make one fucking post where the point is “women are encouraged to develop disordered eating from a very young age and that impacts how we view the ‘natural’ size and shape of women” and too many reblogs later i am being accused of saying short people wouldn’t exist if they ate better growing up. i’m sorry but if you genuinely think i was saying that you are just a buffoon. i cannot and will not sanction your buffoonery.

I’m sorry, but the logic that a rapist “won’t stop” because you’ve warned other people about their behavior so it’s meaningless to warn other people is so stupid. I think potential victims actually have a right to know about predators in their community. Lack of accountability is not an argument against warnings, it’s actually an argument for them.

[psychotic-gerard]

love seeing revisionism in the wild “free the nipple never meant you can walk around topless every where that’s still sexual harassment it just meant for like breastfeeding and stuff”no it literally means you should be able to walk around topless anywhere because get this. breasts aren’t fucking sexual organs.

[roguebombshell]

I remember when I was about 12, I watched a show on TLC that followed people as they got somewhat uncommon medical procedures.

There was one episode with a trans woman getting different gender-affirming operations, including breast implants. It showed the procedure, and (what I found so fascinating that it's stuck with me for decades), as soon as the doctor put the implant in, a censor blur popped up on the nipple.

And you just know there was a meeting between the TLC lawyers and the editors and producers of the show to discuss what the difference was between a "man nipple" (can be shown) and a "woman nipple" (no no must obscure, 'tis naughty). And they decided that as soon as the implant goes in and the nipple has more mass behind it, that's the moment when it becomes a woman's nipple and must be hidden to comply with TV rules.

But it's the same nipple. On the same person. I know what it looks like; I just saw it. But TV and obscenity rules are rules, and the rules say woman nipple = sexual and therefore explicit, but man nipple = neutral, just fine.

"Free the Nipple" was calling out arbitrary bullshit like that, because someone just existing with their body parts should not be considered obscene, and the double standard that men can be topless but women can't is so blatantly ridiculous. All nipples are just nipples. If you get turned on or bothered by them, that's on you.
