What did she mean by this

valleyg0th

Are y’all literally this fucked in the head? Its genitals. No it’s not normal or “tame” to put your genitals in public.

She’s in a bedroom posing for an artsy nude photo not exposing herself on the street please be for real expeditiously

> sees goth in username

> looks inside

> moral panic over art and appeals to normalcy

you could cut the irony with a knife

sorry I can't leave it unsaid. Grimes literally stole that from Harry Dubois

When Tess Morgan's son came home with a tattoo, she was griefstricken. She knew her reaction was OTT (he's 21) but it signalled a change in their relationship

This is gold this, absolute gold, the most over the top melodramatic hysterical ridiculous thing I’ve ever read

This is actually so interesting to read- it’s from 2012 but its full of the same anxieties, even some of the same phrasing that many of the guardian’s later pieces on transness use. really hammers home how much of the terfism that emerged in the late 10s was middle class mothers angry at a loss of control over their adult children- whether that be their bodies or their friends or their opinions- and making that everyone’s problem because they have the power to do so

He says, “I’m still the same person.”

I look at him, sitting there, my 21-year-old son. I feel I’m being interviewed for a job I don’t even want. I say, “But you’re not. You’re different. I will never look at you in the same way again. It’s a visceral feeling. Maybe because I’m your mother. All those years of looking after your body – taking you to the dentist and making you drink milk and worrying about green leafy vegetables and sunscreen and cancer from mobile phones. And then you let some stranger inject ink under your skin. To me, it seems like self-mutilation. If you’d lost your arm in a car accident, I would have understood. I would have done everything to make you feel better. But this – this is desecration. And I hate it.”

quasi-normalcy

Also just the classism of her associating tattoos with “vest tops, dogs on chains, broken beer glasses”; like, just say you hate poor people

dystopia au where we are all assigned one of two chosen genders at birth

peppylilspitfuck

Thanks to ultrasounds, the genders can be assigned before birth. The people are so excited to conform they throw “Gender reveal parties” to make sure their offspring exist in a strict binary since before they can even form thoughts.

slightlykylie

Children are color-coded according to their binary assignment.

darkersolstice

One of the genders is seen as inherently inferior.

This all sounds really effing creepy when you put it that way

And if you deviate from the assigned gender you can be disowned by your family, fired from your job, and beaten by authorities.

"shinigami eyes is an extension for trans people-"

nope, sorry, it's for transfems specifically.

"-to check accounts for transphobia-"

you mean transmisogyny.

"but trans women started using it to-"

it was ours to begin with.

"-mark innocent people red."

mark transmisogynists red. you don't think they're transmisogynists because you don't take transfems seriously.

can you find someone marked red, look me in the eyes, and honestly tell me they haven't done any of the following:

-said men are oppressed/misandry is an issue

-defended afab-only spaces

-opposed transfeminists

-claimed transfeminist terminology is an attack on other marginalized groups

-spread rumors about a transfem being a predator without evidence

-participated in lolcowing a transfem

-tried to reclaim femboy culture as a non-transfem

-defended male socialization theory

-implied transfems are generally dangerous

-accused a transfem of being an evil pervert while excusing non-transfems engaging in similar kinks

-claimed transmascs have no privilege or power over transfems

-claimed most transfeminists are white/bourgeoisie

-called trans women bitches, cunts, or racial slurs

because any of that is a valid reason for a transfem to not trust you. i cannot stress that enough. any single one of those is a good enough reason for a random transfem to signal to others "be cautious." and if you can't understand why transfems are wary around people like this, you need to make an effort to learn.

folly-of-alexandria

Something that rarely gets mentioned is that it doesn't just take a single user to change one's color on Shinigami Eyes.

Sure if you mark someone one way or another on your browser, they stay that way for you.

But for someone you've never seen before to be marked red, that means the majority of users who saw that account and made any input at all, all came to the conclusion that that person was bad news.

Notjust a few, but the majority who carry the extension and had anything to say about that user.

It's a lot more implausible for someone to have been "incorrectly marked" with that in mind.

"you're biased in favor of trans women" yes. i am. and i'm entirely right for it.

bringing this back because it's pride month and people are saying i'm trying to "divide the community." motherfucker everyone in the queer and trans communities shit on transfems all the time and you want me to act like there isn't already a division? no one gets to pretend like everything's okay when the people who are supposed to be our allies are transmisogynists. everyone is already biased against us. do you know how sickening it is to see random people in my fucking community so easily and readily go along with any accusation against transfems, no matter how absurd or unsubstantiated? do you know how sickening it is that the people i'm supposed to lean on are the ones painting us as predators and monsters and threats for no other reason than "the vibes were off"?

i'll stop being biased for transfems when there's no longer a need. i'll stop when people actually treat us like people and not some fucking underclass they unfortunately have to include. hell, it would be a leap forward for aspiring allies to even so much as acknowledge that we're treated this way, instead of living in a fantasy that we're doing just as well or unwell as anyone else. so long as the status quo continues, the community is already divided. try working with us instead of pretending we're making shit up if you want me to stop being a bitch about it.

evilgirlbat

As if summoned to prove my point, in the last few hours i got a hearty handful of replies and asks calling me a dumb bitch, saying I'm evil/hateful/transphobic, saying I'm literally oppressing transmascs transmascs, and accusing me of being "male-brained". Every message I got touched on at least two of those points at once btw.

All of this because I said essentially two things. 1, transfems are abused by the rest of the queer/trans community. 2, I'm not gonna be nice about it until it stops. I've yet to find anyone who actually tries to argue that without demonstrating that they just don't like transfems. Every single time their support for transfems is conditional that we're passive friendly doormats who just go along with whatever the wider community wants. of course i'm fucking angry, that's the rational response to this kind of injustice and inequality. the question is why the fuck aren't more people angry with me?

flanneldragon

its crazy this all started because trans women came up with shorthand for the question "are you affected by transmisogyny" and the fact that your answer might be "no" drove people into a fucking frenzy

doublooons

It’s awesome how the transmisogynistic trope of being forced into womanhood even though you’re a cis boy exists solely so you can call the tranny a man and pat yourself on the back for it, as if that isn’t an active decision someone made in writing the story. So many characaters that are coded transfem are laundered under the assumption that truly they’re men because actually they wanna be men and are forced to be women like That isn’t a choice someone made in their depiction
