here’s to all the weird little girls growing up into even weirder men
And to all the weird little boys who grew up into weird women.
and the weird little whatevers that grew up into weirder whatevers
Okay so, please don’t shoot me in the head for this, but:
Before I see anyone claim mass deletion of blogs drawing attention to the unfair treatment of the demographic they’re apart of has never happened before, no one else goes through this, etc. Lemme remind y’all that this has been and is still happening with Black and Brown bloggers since…relatively forever. Black bloggers in particular were hit pretty hard during May 2020 when we were speaking out about George Floyd’s murder.
What I’m saying is, yes this has happened before, yes Tumblr will continue to mass delete both trans women and Black bloggers who dare not take the shit lying down. This is also where intersectionality comes in, because Black trans women are especially high risk for being silenced, both on and offline. I’m glad people are finally paying attention, but at the same time it sucks it took this long for a wider audience to catch on.
hating men is not a TERF talking point. the "men" terfs talk about is a dogwhistle for trans women. they aren't called "men exclusionary radical feminists". the fact that so many of you have taken the dogwhistle at face value and unironically defend men while calling trans women TERFs means you have completely lost the fucking point. it was never about men, and you're coming at the very people the TERFs were targeting all along. you are, in fact, the problem. trans women cannot be doing terf shit when TALKING ABOUT MEN, men DO NOT NEED PROTECTING, how the fuck did everyone lose the plot so hard that the people who need the least protection are getting prioritised over those who need the MOST? manhood is so fragile in a world of patriarchy that it needs defended from the most vulnerable minority. are you fucking serious????
you label us as our oppressors to defend our oppressors from us. we are getting killed, we are having legislation passed against our very existence, we struggle to live our day to day lives, and you're accusing us of being the people doing that to us, and defending people who can do literally anything they want in life unimpeded from us. get a fucking grip.
I can't even begin to express how disgusted I am that the language of the oppressed has been so explicitly taken to apply to the oppressor, I can't begin to express how disgusted I am that the oppressed are now accused of being the oppressor, I can't begin to express how disgusted I am with all of you for constantly accusing trans women of the rhetoric of the people advocating for our deaths in favour of MEN, the people with the most power, privilege, opportunity, and the people who, objectively, statistically, do the most oppressing of every single other group. I'm disgusted and disappointed that we can't even talk about our own oppression anymore, both because it will be turned around on us and denied to us, and because all of the language of our oppression has been hijacked and worn down to absolute meaninglessness to the point of defending the single group who doesn't need it, with the language of OUR oppression. I can't fucking stand you people anymore. the world is a bleak fucking place when these are the actions of our "allies".
I’m always being told that TERFs hate men, and yet every influential TERF openly embraces men who are misogynistic and often predatory. I cannot think of an example to the contrary. These people would rather see patriarchal gender roles and biological essentialism held up than see a trans woman live a safe, happy life. What is more anti-feminist than putting men’s power over women’s needs? But because these women in need are trans, so TME people feel the need to remind us we were CAMAB and therefore must be hated for our “proximity to maleness”, not because we are marginalized and vulnerable women. SO sick of being told what TERFs want and believe as a trans woman. I know, they have told me themselves.
With tumblr’s blatant transmisogyny on the rise, I’m happy people are reblogging posts in solidarity with trans women. But please don’t let this be the beginning and end of your compassion. You can reblog all the posts in the world that say “rb if you love transfems” “rb to kill a terf” “rb to hit tumblr CEO with cars and hammers” and such, but it means close to nothing if you don’t treat the trans women in your life, both online and real life, with the kindness and respect they deserve. If you don’t know or talk with any trans women, now is a better time than ever to do some introspection and question as to why that is. I know I wouldn’t be who I am today without the transfems in my life, and I’m sure this goes for many others too. It’s the very least we can do to return the kindness.
if i can impart any one piece of wisdom to y’all, it’s to, whenever possible, assume good intentions
assume people are trying their best, want to be good and treat others well, and that when their behavior doesn’t align with those goals, it’s because of outside factors that are pushing them to their limit
it’s hard to do, it doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s worth it
before anyone jumps in with an “op has clearly never worked in the service industry,” i work in a public facing library job
i have a patron who is mean as a snake. won’t respond when you greet her, barks orders at you, and is generally nasty
i couldn’t stand her & dreaded the moment she walked in the door, until i stopped one day & went “wow, to walk around feeling unhappy enough to treat people so horribly every day. what a difficult way to live.”
and so my tactics changed. i made a point to be extra kind & friendly to her. she changed her hair color one day & when i complimented her on it, she was very caught off guard & said “oh, thank you. my whole life i’ve thought i was ugly.”
now we’re at the point where she shows me pictures of watercolor paintings she made & says hi when she walks in the door. she’s not my favorite patron, but she’s perfectly okay. most unpleasant people aren’t inherently rotten, they’re just unhappy & coping with it poorly
assume people are always doing their best, even if their best happens to fall a bit short. assume good intentions
she commit acts of intercourse on my erogeneous zones until i achieve sexual climax
No she doesnt. You made this up for notes.
message to all transfems please survive
Autistic spaces are getting so much more hostile towards people with low empathy, and it sucks
There was a subreddit I really liked, people were chill, and then there was a sudden influx of people making posts like ‘Autistic people have empathy! Saying we don’t makes us seem like monsters! Thats not a symptom!’ And people making posts explaining that no, actually, some of us do have low empathy got attacked and told they were wrong or ableist? And it sucks, because its just so hard to find a place to exist where you can be seen as not evil? I don’t know, it just hurts a lot to be told that
ppl just don’t understand the difference between empathy and sympathy. being able to tell how somebody is feeling is not the same as caring about the feelings of others!
why do i keep seeing people buying into netflix rainbowwashing themselves with nemona when every other month they pay some guy a million dollars to talk about how all trans women should be killed
oh wait i know why

yeah wow its almost like tme people can just ignore transmisogyny when it gets down to it. its almost like you know you're not in danger of getting permabanned for no fucking reason. "complexities of institutional transphobia" say transmisogyny. say it. you and i both know that the reason you can act so casually about this is that you're not the target here.
they deleted this one. flew too close to the sun i guess. my dumb tranny ass almost wants to forgive them.
i spent a year discussing the distinction between tme and tma as categories of oppression but honestly is there any more perfect example than cryptotheism casually joking about how none of this matters while all the trans women i follow are incredibly, justifiably upset and scared that their blogs will be deleted and their online community lost?
they just fucking posted it. they just posted it.
