ok i'll bite, what is Rocky Horror Picture Show?
Well imagine a movie that's an hour and a half of depicting trans women as subhuman sex obsessed freaks. And that is extremely popular with queer people. Forcing thousands of trans women worldwide to sit and watch as all their friends laugh at the biggest, cruelest "man in a dress" joke.
Oh and if trans women want to say "we'll this movie is kinda offensive-" everyone will call her a hysterical bitch. She's a buzzkill afterall. How could a queer movie be transphobic?
Meanwhile...
it should be noted that Richard O'Brien isn't just a star of rocky horror, but also THE WRITER of rocky horror
This character in this movie is not a trans woman. They are a pansexual, gender fluid individual that does not have a specified gender, but it is to be assumed that they are neither male nor female. I don’t understand how this has broken down into being trans misogyny when in reality this is a completely different context for the movie. To assume that they are making fun of a trans woman would be to completely erase the nature of how the character is even written in the movie. There are several jokes throughout the entire experience that shared that this person is neither male or female as he sleeps with the two main characters.
"the movie doesnt describe the character as a trans women, it describes him as a third sexed sex object" bestie you are descrbing the way transmisogynists understand trans women
To explain it in detail for @uwuannihilator and anyone who hasn't heard this before:
Frank-N-Furter is a transmisogynistic stereotype of a trans woman.
The character is a cannibalistic rapist who is portrayed as a tall man with masculine features and garish makeup, presenting as a woman, referred to with he/him pronouns.
The character is referred to as a transvestite, as well as being an alien from the planet of Transsexual in the Transylvania galaxy. The film does not describe Frank-N-Furter as pansexual or genderfluid.
Rocky Horror Picture Show was released in 1975. At the time, trans women were still commonly referred to as transvestites. This is before the widespread adoption of terms like transgender or trans woman, back when transsexual was the more respectful term to use to refer to a trans person, even though transsexual was policed such that only trans people that sought out bottom surgery would be considered legitimately trans.
So:
The film refers to the character as a trans woman using language appropriate to the time.
It's an obvious example of the transmisogynistic stereotype of a trans woman as a sexual predator.
The character is depicted as tall and masculine with a feminine presentation to reinforce the idea that trans women are just deviant men.
The character is degendered and turned into a third gender, not allowed to be a man or a woman, instead depicted as some deviant other.
This character is in my top 3 of worst portrayals of trans women in cinema, the other two being Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs and Dil from The Crying Game. And just like those films, it does not matter that people handwave away the implications that they're trans women, because these films are still using transmisogynistic stereotypes that implicitly associate these characters with trans women.
I get that you may not have heard this before. You might find it shocking. You might want to rush to disagree.
I'm going to ask you not to. Before you rush to argue that all of the trans women who talk about how harmful Frank-N-Furter is as a character are wrong, please stop and consider. Maybe you don't have all of the facts and maybe you haven't considered how this kind of portrayal makes other people feel.
We are not being sensitive, we are not taking it personally. We are trying to show you that something you think is innocent is actually harmful. This doesn't mean that you're a bad person if you like it, it just means you didn't know that. And now you do. Please think on that the next time you talk about this.
Thank you for your well thought out explanation that will go completely ignored (and already kinda has) 😒
Can we also talk about how the people who worship this movie are typically the same people whose only personality trait is being queer 🙏😭
I've had so many jokes about having my queer card taken because I've never seen it, or that I'm a bad queer (etc), I never will, and those people only drive me further from it.
You ever stare at porn all day just to feel something different.
Might fuck around and 💀😜 as a treat, I'm tired of this life.
Harvest my organs when I die. Let me be useful for once.

It’s nearly pride month, you know what that means it’s time for y’all yearly reminder;
THIS IS NOT A SAFE PLACE FOR TRANSPHOBES,
ASEXUAL/AROMANTIC EXCLUSIONISTS,
AROMANTIC/ASEXUAL PHOBES,
HOMOPHOBES, BIPHOBES, PANPHOBES AND THOSE PEOPLE WHO SAY “invalid label” TO ANYONE IN THE QUEER COMMUNITY
(apart from those who use the “it’s a label” to push sick ideas like being attracted to children)
And finally anyone who supports, voted for, or likes trump and the surrounding policies.
Go fuck yourselves ❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙🖤🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🤍

black nitrile gloves are the hot accessory of the summer
I want to carve myself open until all I see are the stars, and then nothing.
My toxic trait is being madly in love with him even though he never even talks to me anymore. Doesn't even acknowledge me unless he gets something from it.. and yet I know it he demanded my attention I know I'd give him everything I could.
my toxic trait is thinking if i give them enough attention that they'll do the same.
Sorry for going through the entire spectrum of human emotions in the past 10 minutes.. do you still like me?
