people love to misconstrue transmisogyny as "transphobia for trans women" and then apply their poor understanding of gender to create the idea that every gender modality, especially transmasculinity, has its own version of transmisogyny

but not only does that false symmetry betray incredibly poor understanding of gender dynamics (next you'll be coming up with misogyny for men, oh wait that already happened, oh dear), but that's also just an incredibly poor understanding of the word "transmisogyny"

the word for transphobia faced by trans women is "transphobia" - it may shock many people to hear it, but trans women aren't cis, and are in fact no less trans than other trans people!

transmisogyny isn't specific random events that could happen to anyone but just by chance happen to trans women, transfems, and transfeminised people the most - transmisogyny is the ever-present dynamic where transfeminised people are disadvantaged relative to other people, even other trans people! when specific things are described as transmisogyny, that's because those are things that reinforce that status quo!!

so trying to come up with Transmisogyny For Men is trying to say that no, trans women (and transfeminised people) aren't disadvantaged relative to other trans people, refusing to acknowledge non-transfeminised privilege in a way that just so happens to perpetuate the status quo of exploiting trans women

funnily enough, transfeminised people are unhappy with that status quo! and funnily enough, lots of people who benefit from that part of it are actively trying to make sure it sticks around, while simultaneously refusing to acknowledge it! but of course, acknowledging it is infighting, or oppression olympics, or a psyop, or male socialisation, or some other entry in the endless list of ways to tell transfems to shut up

If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another

[pawberri]

Liberal transphobes enjoy positioning trans identities as regressive compared to cis queerness or like non-transitioning transness or anything else they can leverage to make transphobia look progressive and I think its easy to absorb that message subconciously. But in real life we just are what we are and no ranking of validity can change the fact that you have an identity that is NOT chosen and is just your unchangeable truth. Not only should you not have to live a life dictated by what is most countercultural to identify as or whatever but also: being trans is extremely countercultural and feminist and leftist to begin with and theyre only trying to convince you otherwise bc theyre bigots

"Why cant you be a feminine man society hates feminine men 🥺" and "all the butch lesbians are becoming men we need u 🥺" = stay in the closet for the noble purpose of being an abstract representation point in my new york times opinion column. You wont actually be a gnc cis person youll be a closeted trans person who uses the wrong words but I need you to do that because i hate you

Thanks for watching the sunset with me. Now let's go to sleep.

everyone wants trans women and lesbians to be the first in line to abolish genders and labels. everyone starts their super radical rejection of gender and sexuality frameworks with the people who are already facing regular old patriarchal pressure to give up claim to their gender and sexuality

reclamation

[ID:

Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.

Panel 1: A blood orange person and a hot pink person are talking.

B.O.: "Haha yeah I love reclaiming slurs. I'm a moldstain chromashit."

H.P.: "Oh that's a great term I love being a moldstain chromashit."

Panel 2: A turquoise person interjects.

Turquoise: "Hey uh. 'Moldstain' is mostly used against viridized groups, I don't think it's for you to-"

H.P.: "Ugh. Here we go with the gatekeeping yet again."

B.O.: "Yeah I don't care what you think, you're practically a pickme for Æverthes at this point."

Panel 3: Turquoise is talking to an olive green person, while a violet person yells at the two of them.

Turquoise: "…So yeah I'm no longer friends with those two."

Olive: "Yeah the moldstain chromashits have a real misoviridy issue."

Violet: "How dare you call people 'moldstain chromashits?' what the fuck is wrong with you?"

Variety

[ID: Four panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.

Panel 1: A blood orange person is putting a sheet of paper down on a table.

B.O.: "I have assembled a reading list for people interested in learning about chromatic issues. It's got a variety of authors from across the spectrum: Red, yellow, cyan, blue, magenta, nonprimar, shrimp colours, achromatic, even non-electromagetic!"

Panel 2: A turquoise person inspects the list.

Panel 3: They look up while lowering the list again.

Turquoise: "…Green?"

B.O.: "Not a creative color, not necessary."

Panel 4: A view of the two on opposite sides of the table.

Turquoise: "I… Don't think that's true? I've been reading a lot of interesting stuff about viridic populations in the toroidal inwards and-"

B.O.: "Yeah nonprimary issues are covered."

Turquoise: "No like. Primary green."

B.O.: "That's a colonialist construct. Get more enlightened please."

attitude

[ID:

Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people. Panel 1: A lime green person is holding a stick away from their face, the stick is held by a blue hand.

Blue: "Haha poke a greenie"

Lime: "No. Do not. This is annoying and degrading."

Panel 2: Zoom on blue, who is holding the stick.

Blue: "You know, I don't appreciate this attitude of yours. There are fascists rounding up chromatics to put us in confinement pits."

Panel 3: Lime in the foreground, blue holding up the stick.

Blue: "I honestly think you need to be doing less infighting. By letting me poke you with the stick."

Lime: "this is deeply unserious. leave."

epistemic

[ID: Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.

Panel 1: A violet person, a lime green person and an olive green person are at the end of a conversation.

Violet: "…And so, in conclusion, it's actually you who need to check your privilege!"

Lime: "…That was possibly the worst attempt at describing huerarchy that has ever been made."

Olive: "You glossed over enormous, glaring factual errors with incredibly arrogant declarations of epistemic authority you just don't possess."

Panel 2: Olive and Lime are in the foreground with violet in the distance.

Olive: "Have you read… anything written on viridism in the last century. At all?"

Lime: "Or even just talked to a green person. Any green person?"

Violet: "Hah. Of course I have. What do you take me for??"

Lime: "Ok. I don't believe you. Who."

Panel 3: Violet in the foreground points triumphantly at a green person wearing an unrolled scroll on their head.

Violet: "Well guess what? My friend is right over there! Who's the fool now, huh??"

The Most Illiterate Green Person Alive: "I am The Most Illiterate Green Person Alive!"

strategy

[ID: Three panel comic with crudely drawn stick people.

Panel 1: A grayscale person wearing a shirt with a flag composed of green, red, blue and black stripes is talking to a green person.

Shirt: "Hey so after the election I've done some thinking, and I need to make some hard choices."

Green: "Uh okay who-"

Shirt: "I have to drop the whole chromatic issue. We just went too hard on it and it lost us votes."

Panel 2: The shirt person puts their hand on green's shoulder.

Shirt: "Look. I'm deeply and truly sorry okay."

Green: "Please don't touch-"

Shirt: "You just have to understand. Supporting you this much. Saying green people are green? It was just too extreme. I will still affirm that your feelings about being green are valid. But I have to think about electoral strategy too. I have to take a clear stance that nobody wants children to be green."

Panel 3: The shirt person starts sobbing while Green looks awkwardly.

Shirt: "Please... *sniff* please understand... This is so incredibly difficult for me, the emotional toll on me is worse than you could ever imagine! I just can't keep doing this! It's too politically inconvenient!"

Green: "Who are you, even? Were you doing anything for us?"
