coming onto tumblr and almost immediately across the endo/trauma syscourse is very fascinating bc like it's such a typical internet discourse? like a bunch of people making up words that don't mean anything just so they can get mad at people and play trauma olympics is so absurd you probably counld come up with it lol anyway don't let anyone tell you your experiences are not valid etc fuck sysmeds
Hehe I look hot~
gosh you look very biteable
Mutuals you would hypnotize
Mutuals whose minds you would empty out just to watch them sitting on the floor, mindless, drooling
Mutuals you would rebuild from the ground up, mind molded by You, to serve You, wholly.
A lot of very hypnotizable looking girls in the notes I'm gonna be honest
In honor of pride month I want to talk about something a little controversial in our community: transmisogyny.
DISCLAIMER: I feel like maybe Ive heard these ideas/terms from someone else but I genuinely cannot remember. If there are earlier posts on ANY sm site that predates this one and talks about these same ideas/terms, please send them to me! Also, these are MY opinions that I formed based off discussions I had in MY OWN community. Now on to my little essay ->
Now, when I first heard about transmisogyny, this is how it was described to me "a specific type of misogyny that affects trans people, more specifically trans women/femmes" and I have to be honest, I got lost at the "specifically for trans women/femmes" part. You see, the way I saw it, both trans women/femmes AND trans men/masc faced specific types of misogyny that was caused by the fact we are trans. I think thats why it became this controversy in the first place. Trans men/mascs saw the specific type of misogyny only we faced, yet weren't included in the term "transmisogyny". To us, it felt like another form of erasure, belittling, and maybe to some extent gaslighting. To trans women/femmes, it felt like we were trying to take over, demean, or maybe even disregard their experiences with that specific type of misogyny.
Now, Ive thought about this a good amount. Ive thought about how trans men/mascs only have the term "force femming" as a way to describe this type of misogyny. Honestly, I PERSONALLY do not like that term. While it is accurate to some extent, it makes it seem not that bad, or even worse, that somehow being feminine is this horrible thing (something many of us do not agree with). Not to mention that it doesnt incapsulate all of the misogyny we face for being trans men/mascs. Instead, I propose some new terms: femme misogyny and masc misogyny (they are a work in progress, so if anyone has any better suggestions Id love to hear them!). These two terms informs the person what kind of misogyny is being discussed, trans women/femme or trans men/masc respectfully. Leaving transmisogyny as a way to talk about the misogyny that all members of the trans community face.
I know theres a lot of importance in transmisogyny pertaining to specifically trans women/femmes. I am asking my trans sisters this: would you be willing to include trans men/mascs in the term "transmisogyny"? I feel it will greatly help reduce the erasure of our side of the community, and help bring to light all of the violence we face.
I would love to hear yalls opinions on this! I want this to be a fair healthy discussion, so please write your answers as I wrote this post: in good faith! I will delete any trans misandrist, terf, transphobic, and generally bad faith comments. This is going to be treated as a genuine discussion between our two sides of the community. Thank you for your time, and sorry it was a longer post!
i understand where you are coming from, however this completely ignores the origin of the word. it was coined in julia serano's book whipping girl specifically to talk about the kind of oppression we transfems experience, which it fundamentally different from the kind transmascs experience. and reducing transmisogyny to "misogyny that trans women face" is also innacurate. as described in whipping girl, transmisogyny is the intersectional oppression when faced with both oppositional sexism (the belief that masculine and feminine are mutually exclusive categories and that ever traid in one category has the opposite in the other, e.g. mascs are strong and femmes are weak) and traditional sexism (the belief that masculinity and all its traits are inherently superior to femininity). of course cissexism also plays a role here. but the point is that this word has from the begining been coined and defined to describe our unique oppression and taking away the vocabulary of a marginalized group to talk about their unique oppression is just a no go.
"Hey, yeah can we make this more about men? Yeah I really don't like how your feminism is not talking enough about men. Have you considered how men feel about that?" you cant make this shit up

honestly? t4t is just for the girls.
ive never met a TME person who truly understands and practices t4t. it doesnt mean trans-het relationships, it doesnt really even specifally mean anything about trans relationships at all. its an ethos, a code of ethics for how you treat other trans (people) women. and i have yet to know more than one TME person who understands t4t more than āi date trans people and weāre all faggots in the eyes of the stateā.
