Gonna say it: we WISH somebody force femmed us when we needed it.

We wish somebody told us that we could be trans. We wish somebody offered us estrogen. We wish somebody told us it will be ok. We wish somebody was there early on to help with the first few injections.

We WISH we could have started earlier.

Meeting trans girls where they are kills us.

What many TMEs (cis and trans alike) apparently mean with "trans women are women": well... Anybody can be a woman, I guess I can call you that, unless it's something that makes me uncomfy....

What this one means when it says "trans women are women": THIS ONE IS FEMALE, EVERY PART OF THIS ONE IS FEMALE.

No matter what genitalia it was to have, IT WOULD BE FEMALE GENITALIA! ON ACCOUNT OF BEING ON A FEMALE BODY. BECAUSE TRANS WOMEN ARE FEMALE, YOU CHUCKLEFUCKS!!!!!!

My hypothesis regarding the bans is that somebody at staff got frustrated that their oh so hard work got rolled back within a day.

And decided to let it out on the one group he knew wouldn't get him into trouble. Trans women who are vocal about transfeminism.

Then somebody noticed what the fuck was going on and was like "we can't be THAT obvious!" And rolled that back too.

A guide to what pronouns to use for this one: she/her: good it/its: well. if you know this one or are transfeminized, go ahead, cool

if you DARE to use the/them for this one:

BY THE CHURCH OF ST ASHMEAD, IT SENTENCES YOU TO DEATH BY PILEBUNKER!!!

Do we have an understanding?

And yes, this one is perfectly in the right to have these demands!

ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) sucks.

I have food. It was fine last time. Heck, it was fine MINUTES ago. It is right in front of me, it is healthy and nourishing, it hasn't gone bad.

I want to eat it. I am hungry. I want the fat on my body, please and thank you.

But. Food is illegal. My brain declared.

ARFID truly is the one (and only) exception to "all eating disorders are just fatphobia in disguise".

Ok. Let's set down some basics.

You don't misgender trans people. Ever.

This one doesn't care how many people they allegedly killed, or whatever they allegedly did.

This doubly goes for transfeminized people.

If you don't know pronouns, try to check.

If you can't check (blocked, doesn't list, deleted), fine go off best guess.

But intentional misgendering is never ok.

You don't misgender the scourges of the 20th century, so why would you misgender trans women.

Yes, this is about people misgendering ISFF, but it applies in general.

We really do need to burn abled people.

An injured person having some fun for 1 minute on a good day does not mean they aren't injured.

It does not mean they are faking it. It may mean they had a very good day, and paid for that fun with weeks of disabling pain.

Disability is not a steady state. Being able to do a short burst of activity ONCE does NOT equal "able to work".

If this world instead of trying to expose fakers, into helping disabled people, it would be such a better world.

Trans women never had a connection to manhood. This one never did. It was excluded from so much stuff. It was never socialized.

And note what it said. It didn't say it wasn't socialized male (although that is technically true). It said it was never socialized (at all).

And it being a victim to bullying was used as a reason to curb attempts at cracking its egg.

We&, as in this system, have a connection to manhood. But not because of transfeminity. No. But because we& have two wonderful men in our system.

Of course, being too open about that in offline life is risky. It is risky BECAUSE of transmisogyny.

We risk our& medical care and surgery being rendered impossible. Surgeries we& need. Including, and especially, the boys.
