@sens-evil-lair
thought it might be due time to make an intro post
hi! im sen/moth, a fellow in iowa who likes to make music, draw, roleplay, and passionately frenchkiss your mother. im fucked up and evil.
more below so you dont have to scroll so much every time u look at my blog 😆
The concept of "transmisogyny" had to be invented because without it there was no way to explain why transfeminine people are so particularly marginalised. The logic of transphobia is that we are actually failed men, men who have broken the rules of gender and so need to be punished. Likewise, transphobia considers trans men to be failed women who have broken the rules and so need to be punished. If you follow that logic, you would expect to see trans men occupy a position in the social hierarchy similar to "marginalised woman" and trans women to occupy a position similar to "marginalised man", i.e. trans women should be below cis men, trans men should be below cis women, and trans men should be below trans women. But that is actually not what we see when we look at something like the gender pay gap statistics. Trans women are actually right at the bottom, well below trans men, and everyone else.
So, if the logic of transphobia is that we are actually men, how the hell do we explain the fact that we occupy a social position significantly below those that transphobes believe to be actually women? There's only one way to make sense of it: that the nature of our "failure" (i.e. the direction of our transition) brings about a massive extra social penalty. That's exactly what "transmisogyny" refers to: this extra form of oppression that sits on top of transphobia, and whose existence is necessary to explain the data that we see in the real world. It's just like physicists theorising Dark Matter: the universe is not behaving how it should according to our current theory, so there's a new force we need to incorporate to make it make sense.
In light of this, what purpose is served by hypothesising a counterpart to transmisogyny called "transan***phobia"? What data is unexplained by the current model? Are trans men being treated even worse than we would expect based on how transphobia operates? I am not aware of any evidence for that, nor of any transan***phobia theorists who even think about oppression in this way. Instead, it's far more common for them to understand "transmisogyny" as "any oppression a trans woman experiences", and to think, "but I also experience oppression, so I need a counterpart name for my oppression", and then land on "transan***phobia", "transmis***ry", "anti-transmas***inity", etc.
They don't understand that transmisogyny is a specific form of oppression due specifically to transition direction, it sits on top of transphobia, misogyny, and anything else, it doesn't displace them. To say, as many transfeminists do, that "transan***phobia doesn't exist" is not to say that trans men do not face oppression. It's just the assertion that the direction of their transition does not incur any extra oppression on top of what they already experience due to transphobia and misogyny (which is a lot!).
I find it useful to think about which specific form of oppression I am facing in each situation. E.g. I am walking down the street and some guy wolf-whistles at me (that's misogyny, it's the presumption that my body is a sexual object for men's gratification). I tell him to fuck off, but he hears my voice is weirdly deep and then clocks me and shouts "You're a man!" (that's transphobia, he had noticed a disconnect between my gender presentation and what he presumes to be my AGAB). He chases after me, swearing, screaming, calling me a T-slur, etc, and I have to run really fast to avoid getting beaten up (that's transmisogyny, it's an instinctive disgust reaction that he probably couldn't even articulate why he feels so strongly about). Transmasculine people are likely to be able to relate to the first two experiences but not the third.
A month ago I was running a trans event and I asked people to share any news they wanted to related to their transition. There was a trans man who talked about the waiting list for being seen by the gender clinic, something everyone could relate to and we commiserated with him about it. And there was a trans woman who talked about how she had ordered an Uber Eats grocery delivery, and when he arrived she went out to his car to help him carry the bags, but when he saw her he called her a "fucking [T-slur]" and chased her down the street where she had to hide in a bush and wait for him to leave before going back to her house. She was less upset about that than the fact that after she complained to Uber they banned her from the platform. She had been using grocery delivery to avoid going to the store because she gets abused there. When she said all this, the transmascs in the room were like "what the fuck", while the transfems were like "this is why I boymode with delivery drivers"/"this is why I pretend I can't speak"/"this is why I do all my shopping at 3am at the 24hr supermarket because there's no one there to harass me". There is a serious gulf in the kinds of negative experiences we consider unremarkable, and the kinds of negative experiences transmascs consider unremarkable, and that gulf speaks to the differing levels of oppression we face.
Tumblr is a terf grooming site
Tumblr at this point is just a website dedicated to grooming people into being terfs, and especially grooming trans men into being terfs. The trans men who use Tumblr will never be able to free themselves from transphobia because they are literally TERF socializing themselves. They cannot and will not be able to free themselves from the patrirachy or transphobia until they stop falling for terf psyops directed at trans women and made to make them passive against terfs and detransition them. They have completely bought into the AGAB terf BS and will continue to harm each other, themselves, and especially trans women by falling for this. This mentality of falling for terf AGAB BS and not actually fighting for yourselves as men is why trans women have DIY networks and trans men don't. It why trans women have been able to create so much more for ourselves, while trans men complain they don't have the same resources. The first step is freeing yourself of your terf socialization
i have so many girl ocs its like a girl sausage party every time i open my outfit slots in pine ridge
you know those old ‘hentai free’ banners? that’s this blog but with harry potter
I saw a post on a terf blog before I blocked it from someone being like "Ummm is anybody else really concerned about the rise of antisocial kinks like pissing" and it made me laugh so hard I almost did a little antisocial kink myself
Reblog if you are a human rights extremist who believes that all humans are equal and has no sense of loyalty to nation states.
the idea that predators and abusers are an ontological category of person, rather than everyone having the capacity to be predatory and abusive, leads to people having no regard for boundaries because they think that predation only comes from evil people ™
transandrophobia is when we are more female than trans women but also if a trans woman points out we are men thats misandry (which exists) and also misogyny isnt as serious as transandrophobia but also we experience both and trans women can be misogynistic towards men who are women and we should let men be masculine and feminine but only if they have a vagina and (starts throwing up blood
Notice how there's no masculine version of feminism; no "masculism". This is because being a man does not come with any inherent oppression and thus does not need advocacy. You'd think we all knew this but apparently hating trans women is enough to deny all basic things about feminism
This is transfeminism!
good stories will have you killing random passerby on the street
Listen.
EVERYBODY knows (or should) that you DO. NOT. STOP. in Vidor, Texas.
It’s best to just run out of gas elsewhere. Whatever you do, black folks, DO NOT STOP IN VIDOR, TEXAS.
There’s a good chance you’ll get lynched or just come up missing - and I’m not joking.
also do NOT stop in Harrison, Arkansas!!!! (relatively close to OK and MI) a nazi town with a BIG KKK organization.

AUTO REBLOG
On this weeks episode of why America is terrifying.
im not american but god this is terrifying
REBLOG REBLOG REBLOG THIS IS HORRIFYING
This is fucking terrifying stay safe y'all :(
Heres Arizona’s , by the way
you can only reblog this if you're not racist
trans women really dominating the indie scene rn huh. lena raine and jamie paige keep popping off and appearing in the best games you can find on steam. gooseworx has her show in theaters. like 80% of content creators i watch nowadays are trans women. and more and more keep popping up. age of the tgirl fr fr
honestly I think I lost a lot of faith in humanity when hogwarts legacy happened. thousands of people heard "jkr is transphobic" and didn't think that was enough reason to not buy a mediocre videogame and it became a runaway success. it was such a basic show of decency and it was too much. return the shopping cart ass dilemma. I'm a misanthrope now
and for that matter why have i seen posts on here trying to rehabilitate the reputation of fucking 4chan. like i say this as a person of color tumblr is racist yes but it is not "incited multiple white supremacist mass shootings" levels of racist. it is not "started gamergate" levels of misogynist. what are we doing here. if you found community and support in 4chan good for you but everyone else has the right to feel uncomfortable that you found community among nazis and racists
