You know something im not too keen on this whole "true allyship is based on how much verbal abuse youre willing to put up with from the group youre trying to support" idea. Like. If you express you want an entire group of people dead you cant genuinely be mad at them for disliking you.
I will forever owe trans women my life for making me realize femininity was not some shackle placed upon me, but something you can find joy in, something you can actively choose and make your own.
Men of color face specific discrimination intersects with their masculinity and race. Unhoused men face specific discrimination that intersects with their masculinity and being unhoused. Men who experience domestic/sexual violence face specific discrimination that intersects with their masculinity and experiencing domestic/sexual violence. Gay men face specific discrimination that intersects between their masculinity and being homosexual.
It is not fucking hard to extrapolate, from these easily observable truths, that perhaps trans men face specific discrimination that intersects with their masculinity and being trans.
The way some people act around transmascs is basically "yeah I used to be a horrible vitriolic misogynist, but Im Woke™️now and cant make fun of women anymore, so im gonna use every hate tactic I used to use for women and tell you youre misgendering yourself if you call me out on it"
Aromantics can be allosexual. Aromantics do not need to allo to be valid as people. Aromantics can still have relationships. Having or desiring relationships does not make an aromantic person "worth more". Aromantics can still have deep, loving friendships that fulfill the sense of connection and belonging many alloromantics think can only be found through romantic relationships. Aromantics are just as valid and awesome when they're not interested in any of that. Respect allo and asexual aros. Respect aros who have romantic partners and aros who dont. Respect aros who love their friends and respect loveless aros and respect aromantic people who dont fit into your idea of what aromantic people should look like or perish by my motherfucking sword.
Me: hmm im not usually into vocaloids or hyperpop, but I do love trans joy so maybe I should check out Ego Renegade Boy
Me, sobbing through my 32nd listen in a row: holy shit. Holy fcuking shit. Oh my fuck. Does everyone know about this?
In theory I dont have a problem with the TMA/TME dichotomy, I think its usually useful to have language that succintly describes specific struggles and i definitely see the value in the terms.
My problem. Is the sheer amount of people who seem to think "TMA" means "Real Woman with Real Problems who can do no wrong and deserve to be protected at all costs" and "TME" means "shitty Less-Than-Women who cant know what it means to struggle, who will automatically be given infinite societal protections for any wrong they do, and who will always abuse TMAs whenever they get the chance".
Really, genuinely if I see one more person say cis lesbians cant use the word butch im gonna lose my mind. Im done seeing people claim tranny is a transfem exclusive slur when it was leveraged against every girl I knew who cut their hair short or wore men's clothing. And I am EXHAUSTED by this weird insistence that someone who grew up being treated like a woman cant know what misogyny looks like just because they dont identify as one anymore.
Alloromantics have a duty and responsibility to read as much aromantic subtext as possible in the media they consume
