The Transfeminist Womanism Archives
You can access it here.
This archive isn't complete, as no archive ever is, but I'm finally making it publicly accessible through Proton. I'm constantly taking suggestions on what to add to it or changes to make.
If you're an author of works in here and you'd like to be added to the tip list, you're having technical difficulties, or if you have suggestions for works to be added, please send me a DM and I'll make the changes or see if I can get a copy.
For fiction titles, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors to be added to the archives.
Works within these archives primarily focus on the following topics:
-Transfeminism
-Womanism ("Black Feminism")
-Disability Justice
-Restorative and Transformative Justice
-Ecofeminism
and subjects related to them.
Give this a reblog when you see it so more folks can get access to this and so I can get more recommendations to add to it lmfao
Update (2/10/2026)
I've added a couple dozen more works throughout the archives, as well as made a new folder in the archives for religion/spirituality/theology related works. While I do view Transfeminist Womanism as a materialist framework, the impact of religion/spirituality on Black life in the US is a critical piece of knowledge that must also be addressed in any Womanist framework, especially given how many progressive Womanists write including their spiritual experiences and work in order to address material concerns within Black communities.
To be clear, that section is not just Christian-related theology, but also related to ADRs/ATRs, Ecofeminist spiritualities, Indigenous spiritualities, neo-Afro-spiritualities, and more.
In terms of contents, the archive is now as follows (summarized)
Foundational: 30 items
Transfeminism: 37 items
Womanism: 26 items
Disability Justice: 3 items (please recommend more, especially non-white authors)
Studies: 17 items
History: 8 items (Complicated split between this and non-fiction. Please recommend more)
Essays and Short Theories: 9 items (Please recommend more! Medium/Substack articles often fall in here)
General Non-Fiction and Poetry: 24 items
Fiction: 1 item (recommend me Black queer/transfemme authors and critical transfemme (general) fiction works)
Religion, Theology, and Spirituality: 18 Items
If you're a writer/theorist/author yourself and feel your work is appropriate to be in here, feel free to message me and we can talk about it. If I've missed a fairly obvious-to-add piece, its because either I forgor or couldn't find a PDF or ebook version of it, so feel free to help with that if you want to.
Update: 2/25/2026
I've added a range of stuff to basically all sections, redone the sections to make a bit more sense, and as requested will list added works by name under the cut.
This batch is mostly anarchist or abolitionist writings/tools/resources applicable to Transfeminist Womanism that I feel provide important social/historical contexts OR are provide value beyond anarchism. As I consider Transfeminist Womanism to be an inherently abolitionist ideology, I pull from many left-leaning sources that may intersect with that.
Again, If you're a writer/theorist/author yourself and feel your work is appropriate to be in here, feel free to message me and we can talk about it. If I've missed a fairly obvious-to-add piece, its because either I forgor or couldn't find a PDF or ebook version of it, so feel free to help with that if you want to.
In terms of contents, the archive is now as follows (summarized):
this a beautiful archive, and includes work by one of my elders and mentors Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin who, along with his wife Jonina Ervin, are organizers, writers, and all around lovely people currently living and agitating in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lorenzo needs emergency dental surgery, and they are raising $$ via fundrazr. i feel appreciative to live in a time where i can support living members of a rich political tradition, who have fresh ideas on the path forward and hands on knowledge of what works and what doesn't with regards to organizing. their work is foundational to my thought processes, as well as many active organizers today - please consider engaging with both their writings and contributing to their current life expenses!
Please support us by making a contribution!
This isn't at anything in particular, but lack of humanity that I see displayed in people with whiteness at the forefront of their hearts is soulcrushing to say the least. And their culture is everywhere, it's in our mind and hearts unwillingly and in the systems which binds us. The justifications to be inhumane are numerous and often rewarded. It's so hard to move in a society that continues to center cruelty and the individual. As I continue to see more the importance of love for humanity grows. Love as a material and grounded operation, as something that demands respect and time to be cultivated. Look out for yourselves and the ones you love and keep being curious. 💜
everyone loves me because of my inconsistent memory, inconsistent sense of self, inconsistent availability, and inconsistent awareness of reality
well personally everyone loves me because of my inconsistent memory, inconsistent sense of self, inconsistent availability, and inconsistent awareness of reality. I assume your friend (who you don't seem like a very good friend to, seeing as you're posting about how she's a terrible person and awful to be around on tumblr) is similarly loved by everyone.
maybe you should consider what it feels like to live in a world where you can't remember what's going on half the time, where nothing ever entirely makes sense, where you're constantly forgetting things and plans, where you don't even feel like yourself half the time (which really just feels like constantly looking back and thinking "who the hell was that? why did I ever do that?"). and knowing that thats not your friend's choice. none of us chose to have this much wrong with us. some of us are kinda sorta broken, molly.
and then you have to realize that it makes you inherently lovable when you're like this. everyone loves me forever, ok? it's actually ontologically impossible not to love me. people have tried but they gave up.
but that's not really true, is it? that's not the real world, that's just a post. it's a lie i made up on the internet. what do you think the real world is like for me, molly? what do you think the real world is like for your friend?
sorry, molly, I know you didn't mean to. these things probably don't come naturally to you. they didn't come naturally to me either and I made a lot of mistakes and hurt a lot of people. but please. don't come to my post and call me an all around shitty person.
it really is surreal to observe what's going on in the misogynist transmasc crowd as an asian american lol. like hey i've seen this one before
it's almost like this specific type of misogynist backlash against feminists within marginalized groups happens again and again and again
the black diaspora hurts cuz:
it's not fair other poc can have intact cultures that couldn't be destroyed through assimilation and imperialism but black Americans had to rebuild everything only for what we make to be discarded, looked down on, and appropriated by everyone not just white people.
idk, I try to reclaim as much as I can in this fascist country as a black guy but black people are just so easily dismissed in every aspect and our culture is always ripped and separated from our hands.
Peer reviewing @bitterblackboricua
orientalism in weaboo culture is not taken seriously at all which ya makes sense but its crazy how many ppl form their identities or sense of selves from pretending to be little asian girls or anime boys and then see like no issue with sexualizing Japanese middle school uniforms or real asian women in general and ur just like. not supposed to mention its racist or else ur evil as if the behavior of tying asian races to a third gender babywoman uwu Creature isn’t incredibly fucked
adding ur tags bc literally
I’ve been obsessed with Little Twin Stars since I watched the 70s anime a year ago, so I finally made some fan art of them! 💕⭐️🩵

Western passport holders will never understand. To go anywhere with a third worlder passport like a Filipino one, you need your tax returns, certificate of employment, bank statements, marriage certificates, sometimes a recommendation from a citizen of the country you want to travel to, everything possible to prove that you have a job and a family at home and you're not planning to be an illegal immigrant, JUST to get hit with a rejection because the embassy didn't believe you had enough proof.
Did you have travel plans? Already booked the plane tickets and hotels? Fuck you, better hope they issue refunds (they don't).
Americans and Western Europeans will never understand how insanely hard and bothersome it's to travel anywhere with a weak passport, let alone immigrate.
You want to study abroad? Show us proof that there is a quadrillion dollars in your bank account. Oh, an average monthly salary in your country is $400 and you plan to work when you arrive? You can't do that, silly, a student visa only allows you to work 2 hours every third Wednesday, and if we find out that you're working a second more we will deport you.
You want to work abroad? Better be a programmer, then of course you are welcome. Doctor, scientist, white-collar or, god forbid, blue-collar worker? You can fuck right off, your visa application goes straght into trash.
But if you marry one of our first-world citizens, then fine, you can come. Because we can't upset them, after all, they are a real person, unlike you.
colonialism did not create the gender binary grahhh there were hundreds if not thousands of pre-colonial societies that believed in some cultural cognate of man and woman and enforced those notions as normative. Yes some had gender-transgressive cohorts within them (mostly trans women) but there were and are clear rules that often delineated them as lesser peoples.
what colonialism *did* do was enforce the specific european cultural context of man and woman to nonwestern societies, something that was in fact aided by the pre-existing sex binaries in those cultures!
I have seen like 3 posts today implying or outright stating that binary gender did not exist outside of europe pre-colonialism and I need you all to understand That Is Insane, Untrue, And Unhelpful!
Do not twist my words; I do not say this to cast undue shadow on non european nations and peoples pre-colonialism, nor do I say this to absolve europe of culpability in modern (trans)misogyny! I say this because the fight against misogyny is a global one and the accuracy of our adversity is important to its discussion and dismantling!
There is a running undercurrent in a lot of popular faux-progressive thought that the only real enactors and benefactors of oppression are those who sit at the pinnacle of all axes, but this is false and a blatant rhetorical trap! I benefit from my whiteness despite being disadvantaged on the axes of class, gender, and trans status! Privilege is neither a math equation to be zeroed out nor is it an albatross around your neck to be mopily brought up on every occasion! In this sense all men (all men) ALL MEN benefit from misogyny! A minority man being affected by racism/classism/ableism/etc. still retains advantage over women on the axis of gender because patriarchy is global!
what part of “all men (all men) ALL MEN” did you not get. I said very clearly that minority status does not exempt men from male privilege. Why do you little nerds think intersectionality goes out the window with you and only you.
“No one is coming to save you.” I disagree ! I believe many people made up of many small moments come to save pieces of you , even if just briefly. The mentor who believed in you . The friend who said they’re proud of you. The family member that makes you laugh . The random person who held the door for you out of nothing but kindness. The teacher who took extra time to help you understand. The person who smiled at you when you walked into a store. The little kid who looks up to you. The person who randomly complimented you. Being “saved” isn’t about being whisked away and all your hardships gone, it’s about the people and things that remind you life is not all hardships, it is kindness, love, gentleness, softness, care, thoughtfulness. It is many moments made up of your lifetime that keeps you going and showing you the world is still beautiful, and will always be. Despite.
Hi, Isabella of "sailatina" fame here. Boy did I really not want to do this, but I legitimately have no other choice.
Today I learned my step mother got an order of deportation. (She is from the Philippines.) My family will fight it in court, but lawyers are expensive and the bills just went up too. So, starting February 25th money will be tight. I'll have to pay for all my groceries and other necessities.
I don't have a job at the moment, so I'll have to look for one. And I have only about 800 bucks rn. In the event my step mother gets deported, my options will be to either move all the way over to the Philippines or find a new home on my own here.
This has put me in quite the predicament, and I truly have no choice but to exhaust all possible avenues to support myself and my family. Do not feel too much pressure to donate, tumblr donations should not be my primary income, but if you do have something to spare, my cashapp is $SnowStorm626.
