My body is but a #ftm separatism temple.
my cis lesbian oomf is 100% a transmasc chaser
now that oomf stopped posting whose profile am i gonna scroll through when i'm bored af
At least im not on twitter referring to myself as rapefab for the validation of unwashed mtfs
the fact that i know who this is about
in b4 tara knight deletes the womanface article
northern european whites hate to see poor whites (slavs et al) and swarthy whites (italians, spaniards et al) in their countries, the poor and swarthy whites hate to see north africans (maghrebis et al) in their countries (despite the fact that they look the same as the swarthy whites), the maghrebis hate when they see black africans (sudanis et al) in their countries (even if they're also maghrebi), the black africans are all arguing over each other being in other african countries (south africans have basically constructed ICE from first elements)
tbh an "AFAB only" subreddit would only work if it was private lol that's how all the actual female exclusive subreddits stay unknown and peaceful. the current subreddit is basically a 4tran4 honeypot
also last post of the day but can radfems stop hyping up those detransitioners who detransition after getting groomed by males into being more feminine lol it's happened more than once
one thing that's been cemented in me in my journey through materialist feminism and ftm separatism (in conjunction with being forced to be on trans twitter) is that it really is some type of unique transgression when tboys are terfy. like multiple times, on both tumblr and twitter, have i been confronted with screenshots of my transmasc oomfs posts taken by transfems, and they like, display them and talk about them with unique vitriol that they don't even reserve for cis "terfs," and i know that these posts will be screenshotted over and over and used to justify enacting patriarchal violence against transmasculine people as if we're literally hitler. it's like wow, lol. the only analogous experience i can give is the way nigcels talk about black women who "divest". i guess it tracks since they believe that through believing these things, we desire to pass patriarchal violence onto them when not only is it not true, it's also not possible...

trans women—i.e. males that are feminized and thus are approximately female do experience violence due to their feminization. but it is not one-to-one with violence against female people—it is a result of downstream effects of misogyny.
that’s the issue with the concept of “transmisogyny” as it was coined in serano’s “whipping girl,” rather than conceptualizing transmisogyny as the downstream, natural consequence of a society that denigrates femaleness (and thus created femininity to as a tool to do just that), the theorem asserts that femininity itself, some abstract concept of “womanhood,” is actually an oppressed characteristic.
you’ll find that femaleness is, to these people, an incidental trait, if extant at all. if you ask them “why have female people, people with vaginas, specifically, been oppressed, nearly universally throughout history?” they probably won’t have an answer, they don’t know—it’s male privilege in action, really, to be so oblivious to misogyny that you miss the origin entirely. somehow they don’t understand the irony of the idea that the ~most vulnerable women~ are actually feminized males.
it is a well known phenomenon that, in the absence of female people to subordinate, male people will [often sexually] subordinate other males—think about the prison system, and sex-segregated societies and institutions. possibly more relevantly, even homosexual men will create sexual and perceptively gendered hierarchies upon who does and doesn't do the penetration.
this is transmisogyny, albeit a less potent version of it—policing the boundaries of gender and specifically manhood is a function of the patriarchy. males are definitely targeted for transgressing the ‘gender binary’ (or, as the queer theorists would say, they experience oppositional sexism)—but gender and especially femininity were constructed to police female existence and female bodies.
they’ve worked the entire thing backwards. “people with vaginas are oppressed because they’re associated with femininity,” when in reality, femininity is, itself subjugative due to it’s construction in relation to femaleness. it’s even gone full circle—they’ll posit that a privileged feature of “transmisogyny-exemption” is the freedom from being directly targeted by transmisogyny, and only experiencing it’s downstream effects. when, as i’ve established, transmisogyny itself is the downstream.
experiencing transmisogyny is a male experience, growing up transmisogynized is a form of male socialization. they know this, subconsciously. they’ve accidentally created the paradox of “sex-based misogyny doesn’t actually exist, but only people assigned male can experience transmisogyny”.
ii.
this part is less organized, but, the mental bandwidth necessary to uphold these beliefs—“males are actually the most oppressed under the sex-class system”—is massive. if you have any semblance of critical thinking skills, if you actually understand feminism, patriarchy, and male supremacy, you, undeniably, will doubt it. you need to constantly justify yourself to yourself, not just to other people (but other people matter too).
it creates a necessity for backwards, circular logic. “trans women are female because of their identity as female,” “you not seeing me as a woman is actually proof of the fact that i am the most female because it’s transmisogynistic which is 98372x worse than just misogyny”.
i believe this is why we also get nonsensical rhetoric like: “…transmascs are raping/babytrapping transfems and relieving themselves of reproductive abuse by offloading it onto marginalized women*, who will be relegated to childrearing should a pregnancy occur…”
aside from it being a masterclass in wokeified malespeak, it’s also a very exemplary, and logical line of thinking here—when faced with a female reproductive rights issue that ~the most oppressed women~ will never struggle against (a concept that contradicts most transfeminist principle), it creates matter in a vacuum by, basically, making shit up. they do this all the time—“trans men are abusing and killing and raping trans women,” “trans men are more prone to violence due to emasculation,” “trans men are sexually harassing trans women on grindr for having t4t in bio,” et cetera.
if trans men were oppressing trans women on the basis of their sex, these things probably would be happening. but they aren’t—at least not at rates suggestive of a systematic issue—yet questioning that will cause a collapse in their politics, so it’s much easier to believe made up, bullshit theoreticals than overhaul your entire system of understanding your experiences.
and beyond that, we actually see a lot of the inverse: trans women who pressure transmascs into vaginal sex in st4t relationships, trans women who refuse to use condoms with or who ejaculate inside of transmascs without consent, trans women who campaign against tm4tms by calling them transmisogynistic or transphobic. and the only trans-on-trans murder i know of personally is that of a trans man—ray muscat—who was murdered by his trans girlfriend in a double homicide-suicide (a type of crime almost always, if not exclusively, perpetrated by males).
if the theory is half-coherent (in the terms of their backwards logic), and validates a certain self- and worldview, then empirical evidence doesn't matter, contradictions don't matter.
subsequently, it creates the perfect set up for the misogynistic abuse of female trans people. they perpetuate misogynistic violence within the trans community in a similar pattern to any other marginalized male—transmisogyny is simultaneously used as an excuse and a silencer.
it’s no different from black cis men who claim misogynoir doesn’t exist, because they believe black men are ~the most hated ever~, who then proceed to leverage the collective black fear of demonization and the judicial system to abuse with impunity.
it’s an existing pattern for marginalized male people, i don’t believe there is really anything special about the intra-communal misogyny perpetrated by trans women—they must campaign against the self-actualization of the female sex-class because their relative male privilege lies in very large part within it’s own mystification.
logged off for like two days and now my fyp is filled with shit like "i need to get touched inappropriately #spit in my mouth #lesbian #wlw #lesbian nsft #yearning"
Weaponized incompetence wears a collar.
"No war but class war" leftists will never grapple with the fact that if you gave a poor white person the choice between getting healthcare for free but it means they would have to share it with their Black neighbor, the majority of whites will vote against it every single time.
Y'all want so badly for there to be a logical way to change their minds, but there isn't. White capital is worth more to them than literally anything on the planet. The psychological high they get from being racist is worth more to them than even the welfare of their own children.
And other non-Black races/ethnicities love it, too. Latinos, Asians, Arabs, etc., they get the exact same high from being able to be racist to Black people. Given the chance to have white capital, the majority of Arabs and Latino men took it, against all logic. Asian men look to be heading in the same direction.
That is why class consciousness and POC-solidarity failed.
In America, it always always comes back to the legacy of slavery, where whites are on top, Black people are at the bottom, and everyone else is in-between.
This is also why the white left constantly acts in ways completely antithetical to their stated causes. They're also addicted to white capital and get thrills trying to take down the base of the Democratic Party - Black people. It gives them psychic joy. Just like Republicans, they wouldn't give it up for literally anything, even free healthcare.
What are your thoughts on BPD and its prevalence in women? Your post on female autism made me think about it.
This has many factors imo
The nature of the “personality disorder” is extremely controversial. The classification of such disorders are still debated with the psychiatry world—and the aetiology for the different types of PDs can be different. For example: Cluster A personality disorders typically have a genetic component and are generally considered to be schizo-spec collectively, while Cluster B personality disorders (which BPD falls into) are nearly always associated with trauma or other forms dysfunction during childhood. BPD is a part of the structural dissociation model and no other PD is. Cluster C personality disorders are a bit of a clusterfuck (no pun intended), with no clear associations between things such as DPD/AvPD and OCPD (not to be confused with OCD, lol) that I can think of off the top of my head. And what constitutes as a “personality,” (and, by way of such, a personality disorder,) is still heavily debated.
It is undeniably true that BPD is often misdiagnosed in women who, if they were not women, would have been diagnosed with something else. This is notable in populations of women who meet the criteria for a plethora of conditions, including autism, other PDs, and PTSD/CPTSD. The symptom overlap between CPTSD and BPD is so substantial, that it is currently debated whether or not BPD is a specific manifestation of PTSD.
Women diagnosed with BPD are very often victimized by all forms of medical misogyny, both in the psychiatric world and in the general medical field.
I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m a “BPD is fake” truther because ultimately, like, all mental health diagnoses are technically fake, and it’s clear that many people, including many women, find consolation and community in it. However, I do wonder if the diagnosis will still exist in, say 25 years.
Edit: I forgot to include this at first but, other diagnostic classifications models such as the ICD-11 are already moving away from models of personality disorders that include “borderline personality disorder” or any personality disorder as we know it. So take of that what you will
i really agree with point one, it makes no sense to me why some personality disorders are trauma based while others are genetic. like even if they influence the same areas of the brain, they’re fundamentally different because they’re formed differently.
i follow two people (both female) diagnosed with ASPD and DID, and both are sex trafficking victims. from my assessment, it seems that ASPD in women is usually the result of some type of severe abuse in formative years.
however, ASPD is more commonly diagnosed in men and much of that profile seems to have a neurological component, yes. conduct disorder is the precursor to ASPD (it’s like ASPD for under 18s, also more likely to be diagnosed in boys) and the rates of CD are extremely high in groups that were unable to develop healthy attachment figures in early life (go look at the rates of CD in foster children in the US). to recieve a diagnosis of ASPD, you have to have had symptoms of CD before age 15, and about 1/3 of kids with CD will go on to struggle with ASPD.
it generally does seem like ASPD has, like all disorders, a trauma factor and and neurological factor.
but it’s in cluster B because of the emotional instability and impulsivity aspects
also, i don’t really understand this. we cannot have it both ways. either the trans men are forcing their way into lesbianism, or we are actually the most celebrated type of lesbian and everyone wants to fuck transmascs more than they do transfems. we cannot subscribe to both of these ideas
