"We are running out of time to fix this. I have to believe that it's not too late, and I hope you believe that too, because we have so much to do.
But this is a human problem. These expectations of violent white manhood were set by people. The centering of white manhood at the expense of everyone else was done by people. These systems of power guaranteeing that a few white men will maintain power over us all, and that the remaining white men will spend their lives clawing toward whatever little power is left, have been built by people.
People who were the first to use violence and oppression. People who have worked very hard to convince us that there has never been a time when they were not in charge, and there will never be.
But these people were no smarter or more special than us, and they depend on us, on our continued participation in the systems of oppression they have built to maintain their power. We have to find where we have been bonded to these systems, both individually and collectively, and we have to sever these bonds.
I believe we can. I believe it because even after centuries of oppression and conditioning, we are still here pushing and fighting against it. After centuries of being told that the cost of standing up to white male supremacy is too high, we still stand."
Trans women making 60 cents to trans men's 70 cents is about 15% difference, literally more than the 10% gap between queer men and women pay that the same report found and people are trying to act like it doesn't matter
men claiming the wage gap isn't real, and if it is, it it's not enough to matter, and if it is then women need to learn to advocate for themselves better in salary negotiations
ive literally seen "actually the wage gap is real, but only in reverse! every single study is wrong about the data they collected because i dont like their results. actually trans men are paid less [citation needed] and its because of afab oppression and transandrophobia"

Update: while I am going to college now, I have way too many debts to be able to handle. My parents are helping economically but their demands include for me to, so long as im in college, no longer spend any money on myself or visit my girlfriend anymore. I'm. Running out of options and I *really* dont want to be stuck two to three years early into my transition with no way to explore myself or ability to actually have anything I enjoy... I really think I'm going to need help now. Even if I find an evening or weekend job it'll still be so difficult.

"Anonsee, what is Transfeminist Womanism?"
Transfeminist Womanism itself is a synthesis of both eponymous ideologies, seeking to fill the gaps formed within each that often leave out Black trans women - racism within transfeminism, transmisogyny within womanism - when Black trans women are often the people that need those ideologies the most. Transfeminist Womanism is a primarily Abolitionist ideology, finding value in the rhetoric, knowledge, tactics, and tools of anarchism, communism, and other ideologies without falling directly into any of those categories.
Additionally, I've curated a "Foundational" folder that gives guided reading to help understand the underlying principles and thoughts behind Transfeminist Womanism.
If you're an author of works in the archives and you'd like to be added to the tip list, please send me a DM and I'll add your information. For fiction titles and art, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors/artists to be added to the archives.

Archivist's note: Remade the post because I updated a bunch of file organization and standardized the file naming much to my chagrin the past several days. This should make it easier to find items AND search the archives. Thank y'all so much for your support in this, it really really means a lot.
this a beautiful archive, and includes work by one of my elders and mentors Lorenzo Kom'boa Ervin who, along with his wife Jonina Ervin, are organizers, writers, and all around lovely people currently living and agitating in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Lorenzo needs emergency dental surgery, and they are raising $$ via fundrazr. i feel appreciative to live in a time where i can support living members of a rich political tradition, who have fresh ideas on the path forward and hands on knowledge of what works and what doesn't with regards to organizing. their work is foundational to my thought processes, as well as many active organizers today - please consider engaging with both their writings and contributing to their current life expenses!
Anonsee has painstakingly curated a thorough archive for people to educate ourselves on transfeminist womanism and be good allies with. There was never an excuse to not learn to be better but now even less so. Please go through and share this archive!
And say thank you to Anonsee and all other black transfems, as well as Lorenzo and Jonina Ervin + all the writers and artists 🩷 Please support them all by sharing and donating (if you can)!
