#transphobic language

[malfiora]

Some of y'all don't see the dangerous corollary between "everyone who disagrees with me is a nazi/pedophile" and "all trans people are groomers and rapists," and it shows

Chris Christie says trans women aren’t women to prove anti-trans stance for 2024 primaries

A month ago he sounded more supportive, but the GOP primary is turning into a battle of who can oppose trans equality more...

the funny thing is transphobes insist they can clock trans people.

i am afab and not on t, nor do i identify as a man or even as transmasc. i grow facial hair naturally due to a hormonal imbalance/possibly pcos. at work, i wear a nametag with my legal (feminine) name on it. i do present masculinely, but that's bc i'm butch and nonbinary.

last month, a transphobic doordasher tried to get me fired because he assumed i was transfemme. he told my coworker that "(he) can't believe people like him are allowed to work here. men who think they're women" and then called in a false report, saying i assaulted him.

now, i'm not gonna lie. i get misgendered and incorrectly clocked all the time. people regularly think i'm a man (call me sir, ask if i'm a trans woman, insist i shouldn't be allowed in the women's restroom). most of the time i laugh this off. i'm not insulted by people being unsure of my gender, or thinking i'm a trans woman. due to being nonbinary, it can even help make me feel gender euphoria. i love the transfemme people in my life and respect and support trans women in general.

but someone trying to get me fired? because you mistakenly confuse me for a trans woman? i'm not going to lie, that was devastating. both personally and as someone who tries to be an ally for transfemme people.

so no. transphobes can't clock trans people for shit.

how does clearsky respond to thunder being trans? I could see him both reacting badly and not really caring

Same, I can see him either constantly forgetting and implying he's a girl, or being like, "Oh that's what he's going by these days? good, we don't need more women around here"

So either "transphobic dad who maliciously forgets your pronouns" or "trans inclusive radical misogyny." Considering he took Gray Wing's Gib gender well though, probably that second one.

Ultimately I just decided I didn't want to get into it when I was already talking about child abuse, emotional manipulation, and ableism in the summary. The man's got a whole menagerie of problems lmao, he's the worst

Btw I'm not sure yet if Old Tribemew had gendered pronouns, but I DO know that Parkmew didn't. Parkmew contributes the relationship-based pronouns that are iconic to Clanmew.

I'm a pro-shipper, but sometimes I see shit like "trans men have such good birthing hips" and I want to die

ok

[nonbinaryresource]

I'm trying to come out to my grandparents but they don't speak much English, but Chinese, they don't know the word nonbinary even if I translate that. They use English words like it means tomboy or sissy which is incorrect. When I mention medical transition, they only understand binary genders and then use the English word tranny which is obviously offensive. Not sure how to get through to them both accurately and unoffensively.

What dialect do they speak? Perhaps we have some followers with experience with that dialect/culture who could help or with a better idea of what dialect, we could help find some potential resources for you to use.
