"TERFS believe in transandrophobia/transandrophobia is a TERF concept"
Meanwhile, the average interaction between a trans man and a TERF on this site:
Trans Man: I experience oppression due to being a trans man.
TERF: No, ugh, why can’t your female brain comprehend that you experience oppression because you are a womanly woman with a uterus?
Being able to accept the concept of “we all struggle, but some of us struggle more severely/require more acute attention and protection” is an insanely important thing for your activism. please. i beg you. “we all struggle the same way so we shouldn’t rank it!!!” is rarely ever meaningful or helpful. people WILL struggle more than you. people ARE more marginalised than you. and it’s okay to admit that and still demand your own support. both can and should coexist. you should not be screeching “oppression olympics” when someone is trying to bring light to the difference in degree of marginalisation. someone struggling more than you does not mean you are not struggling.
Okay, after seeing two separate transmasculine bloggers who post about anti-transmasculinity receive anonymous asks telling them to show their face just within the past 12 hours, I really feel like I gotta say something...
Do not post identifiable features of yourself if you are at all involved in discourse.
Even if you do want to flex a physique you are proud of, in response to taunts about how you must look...
Do not.
Especially if you live in an environment where getting doxxed can / will put you in danger. Because that is ultimately the intent of those anonymous asks: to get material for doxxing.
Why is the word for oppression trans women face, transmisogyny, so straight forward when the equivalent for trans men is a word people in community often dont even know. Why do trans women get the privilege of having their problems upfront in verbage but trans men have to explain. I will never believe the queer comm trurly cares about trans men until transmisandry is used as a parallel to transmisogyny. Im tired of my oppression being hidden in literally every single way even in our words.
"You cannot be an "intersex alter" in terms of being actually intersex if you have a perisex body, because our words, our activism, and our conversations are not centred around you. We are an oppressed group for our physical forms."
why does this go for intersex people but not transfems?
You cannot be a "transfem alter" in terms of being actually transfem if you have a cisgender body, because our words, our activism, and our conversations are not centered around you.
both are true or neither are true!
because theres no such thing as a transfem body. you are not transfem because of anything physical. you are a trans person with a feminine gender. that has nothing to do with your body. intersex people have PHYSICAL differences that we are oppressed for.
there's no such thing as a cisgender body, there's no such thing as a trans body. theres no physical difference between trans & cis people. the difference is internal. you sound like a dweeb saying "cis body".
I think the thing that pisses me off the most about internet discourse around stuff like can you be a bi lesbian or is it okay to ship incest and whatever the hell is that it literally does nothing. I can defend lesboys all I want on here but it doesn't change the fact that their gender won't be recognized legally and they can still very much be hatecrimed irl for saying their own name and gender. You can say not to ship "problematically" but while you do that the government wants to make porn illegal and classify everything having to do with LGBTQ classify as pornographic.
These conversations should happen because we all start somewhere, every day theres a new person on the internet who doesn't know some things and deserves a chance to be caught up and share their new perspectives, but when we spend so long just arguing on stuff instead of getting out and doing stuff in our community, it doesn't do much good. I especially feel this as a trans person like no matter how much I do interner activism I'm still a stupid confused cisgender in the eyes of my irls, with no safety net if i get outed again or god forbid i want to come out. Like when people say to touch grass and care for your community they have a serious point. And also? Improving the quality of life for you and those around you in tangible ways will feel so much more fulfilling than arguing online.
Person: [asks for our advice in making an intersex character, since we have an intersex body. Proceeds to hit us with the most problematic and offensive concept.]
Us: “Hey, that’s not cool. And you shouldn’t be working with intersex anything if this is how you’re going to approach it. This made me feel really gross.”
Person:
Mind you, no advice was taken and I was talked at and talked over the whole time.
