Its so weird to me that people say "bomb that kills all tmas" as a response to "bomb that kills all tmes" because the latter is pretty clearly an expression of frustration at how much it can suck to be a trans woman and have cis men and cis women and trans men not really know how to talk to or about you (or outright discriminate!) And then the former is like. Pretty in line with the American republican party's solution to trans women. How are those equivalent or reciprocal.

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.

I don't even like Uma Musume. I just hate that any time an East Asian mobile game with microtransaction gets big, so many people are suddenly gambling awareness experts when the same standards aren't applied to Overwatch or Team Fortress 2 or whatever, especially coming from a country with an unexamined gambling normalization that had nothing to do with gachagaming.

[rui-cifer]

People who have no problem referencing Halo or Overwatch without making a thousand disclaimers about how the military-industrial complex or lootboxes are evil suddenly rise up to remind everyone that lootboxes are gambling! Did you know that? Well should I be doing this every time people make Winston or Junkrat or the Blizzard Wheel of Diversity joke or whatever? Every time someone talks about MTG, should I remind them that even buying singles supports a manipulative pack-opening economy? There's an absolute double standard here on what's acceptable for getting big here when it comes to Eastern vs Western titles without someone deciding to do a moral crusade about it, and pointing this out and telling people to fix their own homes first absolutely needs to be said.

I am trying to navigate the current discourse around tme/tma. I have read your explanation of what the terms mean and am still not entirely clear on them.

1. The terms seem very binary and dont leave much room for people who may experience transmisogyny sometimes and not other times. Yes, some people do experience transmisogyny and some ppl dont, but how does the term apply to a multigender, or intersex, or even a single gendered perisex transfemme? Are nonbinary transfemmes like myself affected in the same way?

2. The framing of "affected" and "exempt" is something I never encountered before, is that framing something that can apply to other axes of oppression such as exorsexism and intersexism? Could the terms exorsexism exempt and exorsexism affected be used?

i think its best to understand "exempt" not as a universal thing- ie someone is never ever affected by transmisogyny- but that they are able to exempt themselves under most conditions. consider the Imane Khelif debacle last summer- when she was accused of being "a man" (read: transfeminine), the key defense people used was that she was in fact AFAB. the mere fact she was able to enter the olympics as a woman at all was the privilege of a cis woman!

don't take the words TME and TMA at super face value; the reason we use them is that every other terminology to describe "is a transfeminized AMAB person who is the intended target of transmisogyny and can not escape it"/"not that group" has been picked apart, and we are holding our ground at this one.

[strawberry-crocodile]

like, i took this sincerely because i'm a nice girl i guess and because it did give me the opportunity to talk about it, but i need to make clear- there is a long history of the terms transfems use to talk about transmisogyny- CAGAB (Coerosively Assigned Gender At Birth), non-transfem, now TME/TMA- being picked apart by tme people, forcing us to constantly play defense for the mere ability to talk about our oppressors.

you may, in the future, find someone making Perfectly Reasonable Points about how the terminology transfems are using Just Isn't Exactly Right or is Actually Bigoted or whatever. what you'll notice is that these people never offer an alternative, because the point is not actually to find Correct Terminology, the point is to convince transfeminized people to shut the fuck up, and to convince everyone else to join them in shutting us up.

so please. someone will ALWAYS point out some edge case or technicality in our language. your job is to ignore them.
