I have a transmasc friend. he's generally really good about things. He doesn't usually make me feel like I'm nkt a woman because of how I was born. But something he did has been bothering me. He moved out of the place we shared, and brought his brother along to help. When something looked too heavy for him and his brother to carry, he asked me if I could help. Which is really weird to me because I had actively talked about how I have gotten so much physically weaker since I had started e 5 years ago. And yet he still assumed I would be stronger than he was, and that his brother and I should carry it. So there I am in a skirt and a tanktop struggling to carry this thing down a flight of stairs to his car. and in that moment, I felt like all he saw me as was a man playing dressup

when it comes down to it, few people genuinely seem to understand that hrt!!!! actually does what it says it will do!!!!! and when we talk about its effects!!!!!! we're not making it up!!!!!!

You ever think about many peices of media have zero women and thats just perfectly normal but if a peice of media has an all female cast people get... like that? Women should be allowed to kill over this btw

Prev here, trans men face erasure and a resounding removal from the history and text books. They often don't get counted due to being considered women and not trans men

Is it not causing undue harm, or rifting the trans community, by calling trans men a part of the global elite of male privilege, when often they face the same issues and bigotries trans women face?

so howcome you're telling me about issues trans men apparently disproportionately face, but when trans women talk about issues that we disproportionately face, it's "we face the same issues"?

having male privilege does not make you part of a "global elite." read up on intersectionality

also, trans men experience varying degrees of male privilege, but the universal privilege you all share above trans women is TME privilege, and you should understand that if you want to be a good ally to trans women and build up this trans unity you're talking about

so done with tumblr. see u all in two minutes

Anon hate is shitty and you shouldn’t do it of course but it’s also the funniest and least effective kind of hate

For starters the blogger can just delete and ignore it. And given tumblr’s penchant for eating asks I think it would drive some hate senders a little insane if they keep checking back in wondering if their ask got eaten.

For second the anon ask format guarantees the blogger gets the last word in every time. Even if anon sends a follow up message they will never get the last word. And tumblr for better or for worse seems to run on this currency of “whoever expressed the last opinion in a post is the one we’re supporting”

For third, this publishes the hate directly to the blogger’s own followers, i.e. the people MOST likely to take the blogger’s side. Home court advantage by design.

#I call for an audience with the king. After waiting in line I stand in front of his throne #(dressed in a huge white bedsheet like a cartoon ghost so as to hide my identity) #I call the king a bitch. I insult his policies all of which were made with the guidance of his court who r also all here #the king ignores me. I say it again in case he didn't hear. The king ignores me #I leave in shame (via @septimus-heap)

What is your thoughts on how transfeminism and the TME/TMA argument opposes trans unity, or how it puts down trans men who are struggling in their own right?

why would identifying who is primarily vulnerable to transmisogyny oppose trans unity? shouldn't it strengthen our unity, as it allows our trans siblings to better understand the problems we face and ensure they don't participate in weaponizing transmisogyny against us?

are we putting down trans men and causing a rift in the community by asking to be respected and understood? is there no way to advocate for ourselves and name our unique struggles that will not be labeled difficult and divisive?

It really really fucking sucks to be a Transfem Jax fan in any capacity. I ordered my abusive transfem with the ability to change and become a better person, thank you very much.

Also I get the feeling that the show itself barely sees her as a girl/woman considering the movie-specific merch apparently still uses he/him pronouns and Leeroy is still a guy with no real reference to transitioning except maybe his emo hair.

I am still one of Jax's biggest haters but this show needs to commit to what this damn rabbit's gender is if he's the super-personal self insert of a trans woman.

I love how this functions as peer review. Modern researchers have still been able to replace past results. These bitches gay.

Don't feel bad, OP. Experimental replication and blind testing are important to scientific research. By publishing your findings, you have provided valuable input to the field. 🫡

I love the way Natsu really saves his gentlest smiles for Lucy. Only the golden haired girl really gets to see the softest version of him 😋

[ID for the previous image: a drowned tumblr post that says: "best case scenario Digital Circus gets remembered in a similar way as Steven Universe: a show that was Really Fucking Good and had nuanced characters and interesting things to say, but the audience wasn't quite ready for it and it imploded into a discourse ball. four years from now I expect to see lesbians drawing Jax like she's a renaissance muse the same way people still draw Pearl or Lapis" #tadc #the amazing digital circus /end ID]

Some context for what I said in the comments. (Daisy = transfem Jax)

Not saying that people couldn't be annoyed with the spam, but Goose knows reddit. Her fandom was already not great with trans people, and reddit in general is always looking for a reason to tear transfems apart. The subreddit had moderators who were handeling the situation, there was no reason for Goose to tell a fan she was "ruining the fun for everybody" in front of the entire fandom.

OVER ONE FAN BEING SLIGHTLY ANNOYING ABOUT A HEADCANON?? A HEADCANON THAT'S LITERALLY CANON NOW?! GOOSE WHAT THE FUCK

you solve the mystery of what to have for dinner one night and you think "hell yeah case closed forever" WRONG there is a dinner mystery the next night too

[people-eating-frogs]

one thing I've noticed about people who take issue with TMA/TME is that they always construct some fictional scenario whereby the TME person will be asked/preassured to disclose their TME status by the TMA person and how this is bad. This is extremely funny to me cuz not only is the inverse INFINETELY more common (afab only events, (TME) lesbian meetups, etc. the amount of TME queers who have asked me some variation of "so do you have a penis?" "are you a tranny or just a drag queen" "are those real?" *gesturing at my boobs*, is in the middling double digits) but also, every single TME person I've ever interacted with has made their TME status abundantly clear by the way they act around me/talk to me, usually within the first 10 minutes.

this tells me they both don't realize how they act around transfems and also that they don't talk to that many of us to begin with, if this hypothetical is something they believe is likely to happen.

Like, I don't need to ask you. you're gonna let me know wether I like it or not.

I need fat female characters in tv whose weight is inconsequential. It means nothing to the story.

She's fat and gets the guy and no one bats an eye.

She's fat and the hottest chick in the sorority and that's normal.

She's fat and an actress and she gets good roles.

She's fat and she's funny and she has character depth and growth.

She's fat and the main character and no one mentions her weight once.

I'm fat and my weight doesn't play a part in my day to day conversations, or plans, or friendships. Why can't I have that on tv?
