Hi, I saw your post about transandrophobia, and I just wanted you to know that the creator of the term has a corrective rape/necrophilia fetish towards lesbians and trans women, which is even more reason no to use the term. Also while I can understand trans men feeling ashamed of being men because of how society speaks about men, ever time I see a post about “transandrophobia” I lose ten years of my life because it’s like misandry repackaged. Especially since the people who make those posts often derail the man-hating posts with “oh so you hate trans men too and if you say no to this question then it means you don’t see us as me and often act like trans women have any privilege over them whatsoever. And forget the fact that all men have male privilege over the women in their same communities. Transmisogyny is an infinitely bigger problem than “transandrophobia” in that it’s actually a problem to begin with. Not that trans men aren’t also oppressed but I’m so sick of people acting like they’re uniquely or more oppressed than trans women or that they’re oppressed because society hates men. I’m sick of it.

Yeah I've heard things about the person who coined the term but this is utterly reprehensible. It's unfortunate that that kind of behavior can be overlooked on this platform, and the term has been sanitized of any association with those evil ideas.

I engage with "transandrophobia" folks if and when I have the energy to expend, because it's laborious to do so for all of the reasons you mentioned and many more. I believe in stepping in and out of the struggle for liberation as my body and mind allows.

I wish that tumblr staff didn't platform the #"transandrophobia" hashtag as much as they do; the pervasiveness of the word and the accessibility of the hashtag makes it easy for random well-meaning TMEs to be deceived and tempted into the alluring transmisogyny of it all.

In an ideal setting where tumblr staff wasn't so transmisogynistic, the #transmisogyny hashtag wouldn't be considered "sensitive" material and hidden from the public view. Then, we could have more public and productive conversations about anti-transmasculinity and how it is a necessary requirement of transmisogyn(oir)-as-fulcrum theory, instead of framing the two in opposition to each other, in the fashion of a lot of prominent white transmasc users.

Hi! I saw your tags! I'm well aware of the sexism and reinforced romanticized stalking in Bollywood movies, there's a lot of rape culture and lack of consent in those movies. I used to read a lot of articles on it when I was like ten or eleven or so and it really grinded my gears. But there are also Bollywood movies that call out the sexism in the industry, or so I'd like to assume, the same way there are animes and video games and Hollywood movies that do the same. Are there any feminist

I don't watch Bollywood films anymore but I do have a few recommendations!

1) Secret Superstar: It follows the story of a teenage Muslim girl who is really talented in music. Her father, who is abusive to her and her mother and beats her mother, does not support her dreams, and wants to marry her to a man in another country. It is a story of how she achieves her goal of becoming a superstar and freeing her mother from her abusive husband.

2) English Vinglish: It follows the story of Shashi, a traditional Indian mother and housewife. She is constantly berated by her child and husband because she does not know how to speak english. She goes to the US to attend her niece's wedding and secretly signs up for an English class. This movie does not directly confront sexism (except for some instances like when she was talking to her french friend about cooking) but it is a great movie.

3) Mardaani: I have not watched this movie, but I have heard many great things about it. It is a story about a female police officer who is working to track down a child trafficker. A person said " No one can use fighting like a girl as an insult now".

4) Rudramadevi: I watched this movie long ago so I don't remember much of it, but it starts with a king deciding if he should make his daughter the ruler of the kingdom. His advisor tells him the story of Rudramadevi, to convince him that girls are just as capable as boys. Then we see the story of Rudramadevi. Although, I think you can check a few articles on this movie because I don't remember it well. But in the end, Rudramadevi ends up becoming the ruler along with the king's daughter.

5) Chak de: It follows the story of the women's national hockey team and how they overcome the obstacles to win.

There is also another movie whose name I don't remember, but it follows the story of a woman who becomes the principal of a small school in their village and works hard to make sure that the children receive a good education. There was also a scene where some bad guys break into the school and she defeats all of them singlehandedly. She is displayed as a strong, independent and capable woman, which is hard to find in today's bollywood. If I remember the name of the movie, then I will tell you.

Hope this helps!

This lil cutie. Lola Rembrite from HuniePop! Isn’t she gorgeous? And she’s also smart, driven, and ambitious, too! She’s the only Black girl in the first game and I love her to pieces! 

If Tumblr don’t let this go through, then I don’t know. This is the most frustrating that posting a submission has ever been for some reason. They just would not let me post the thing. 

Wanted to say thank you! I haven’t gotten a suggestion in a while and I don’t believe this one has ever wound up in the inbox before. I’ll be on the lookout for her.

[fandomshatewomen]

yeah I can see that next time if you want to do such a long ask I suggest sending it through submissions.

Controversial opinion I know, but when you think about it, no TERFs are truly lesbians. Because they see women as equivalent to AFAB, and men as equivalent to AMAB. Which means that if they are only attracted to "women"(aka AFABs), then they'd also be attracted to trans men(and I have in fact heard plenty of TERFs say that trans men are accepted in lesbianism and have more in common with lesbians than trans women because they're "female"). And they won't be attracted to trans women because they group them with cis men(in spite of the fact that there are trans women who are lesbians!). But trans men are men. And trans women are women. So what they're actually saying is that they're attracted to AFAB people regardless of gender. If they're calling themselves lesbians but say that they're also attracted to trans men, then they are attracted to men whether they want to admit it or not. Which means they ain't lesbians. In other words, it's impossible to be a TERF and a lesbian at the same time. Thank you for coming to my TEDTalk. 😇

I think all terfs accept trans men in lesbianism because they see trans men as females.

I definitely see your point.

Hi, about this post...

The op has in her bio "Out of the ash I rise with my red hair, and I eat men like air" which on the surface sounds nice and harmless, even badass, right? So then why am I telling you this?

It's because the poem this line is from is called "Lady Lazarus" by Sylvia Plath, and it's literally a Nazi poem. One of the other lines in the poem is "A sort of a walking miracle, my skin bright as a Nazi lampshade, my right foot" EW seriously wtf?!?!?!?!

(and this isn't even getting into Sylvia Plath's history of racism/white feminism, exhibit A: the bell jar)

TLDR it's unsurprising to see a TERF quoting a line from a Nazi poem written by a racist white feminist. It's by no means news to any of us that TERFs are like this, but I still feel like it bears repeating. And I feel like more people should know, even if they have her blocked already.

Thanks for listening, have a nice day.

Oh my god?? I didn’t even try looking up the poem.

Thankfully that person is already blocked.
