"they should be making out instead of fighting" isn't even a dog whistle. it's literally men saying that women should stop standing up for ourselves and instead service men sexually. we're not "dividing the community". we're leaving you and your bullshit behind, and you're taking it like.... well, like abusive men always take a breakup: poorly.

W/R/T Patricia Taxxon, and any other trans woman who’s been turned into lolcow:

Obsessively documenting a trans woman you don’t like is kiwifarmer behavior.

[stackslip]

the thing with that law criminalizing trans women not """disclosing""" is that it ultimately ends with transfem sex workers, especially unhoused transfem sex workers who are already struggling to survive AND at disproportionate risk of violence and abuse and murder, being at an even higher risk of being arrested for sex crimes before they get forcefully detransitioned and sent to male prisons to be assaulted even as they are the actual victims of sexual and systemic violence.

tumblr, clearly quite deliberately, hides "transmisogyny" from the list of suggested tags, and no less, replaces it with transmisogynistic dogwhistles. what are we even doing here.

UK woman found guilty of sexual assault for not disclosing she was trans

UK woman found guilty of sexual assault for failing to disclose she was trans

A 21-year-old trans woman, Ciara Watkin, has been found guilty of sexual assault after a court heard she did not tell the man she was dating

Ciara Watkin’s conviction comes in the wake of a recent update to the Crown Prosecution Service’s “deception as to sex”, previously “deception as to gender”, guidance

This is what the demonization of trans women leads too. Trans women are seen as inherently ‘deceptive’ and ‘predatory’. The act of not telling someone they have sex with that they are trans will get them charged with sexual assault.

Cis people don’t have to tell you they are cis whenever they have sex. But trans people have too.

The cis man who is accused her of this is telling people that this ‘ruined his manhood’.

like are we seriously going to pretend that transfems are not specifically excluded from the periods of time in adolescence where you are actively taught how to present in a feminine manner.

am i seriously supposed to look at the way the number one caricature of a transfeminine person is someone in bad makeup and an ill-fitting dress, and go "yeah no, this is entirely unrelated to suppressed transfeminine adolescence, which is basically the same as any other suppression of transgender identity ever". dont make me fucking laugh

[kids-toothpaste-enjoyer-deactiv]

this is how 99% of TME people on this app (probably irl too) treat trans women & conversations around our infertility. but it’s actually worse because they fail to understand that infertility is the basis & justification for our oppression. i’ve talked about this more in depth on my page & wont stop because people are uniquely weird towards trans women & i’m tired of pretending they’re not.

yeah you're not "womanphobic" you're misogynistic hope this helps

There seems to be some people who think i refer to being able to be braless outside, so let me make it clear: we need to be able to be topless outside

[this-is-transmisogyny]

Dear transmisogynists AND transfeminists, because being sooo even-handed about this,

You should all stop fighting online and go out and do things in real life! I know none of you do anything activism-related in real life because you disagree with me on the internet.

Here's a half-assed list of things I think other people are doing because God knows I'm not doing anything myself (see how I can just assume that and you can't defend yourself?) sure you teach people about transphobic dogwhistles - except for the ones that I blow! Only the real ones, of course 😌

Stop bitching, feminists, and instead go do activism that actually helps real people me.

Sincerely, your favorite redname.

PS: ignore the explicit TERF tags I put there, that was just a total accident and has nothing to do with what I believe!

the screenshot i keep vauguing that i ripped from another post just fucking. I hate that this is a thing that is ok to say I hate that this would pass as an understandable sentiment in most “queer communities” i’ve been in. I hate all of you and your refusal to acknowledge the rampant transmisogyny present in yourself and others. I hate that none of you listen to us about it and continue to be the most insufferable pieces of shit in the world I hope the tears of every girl who kills herself before she ever lives because all she could find on trans femininity was shemale porn and a community that acts like fucking THIS haunts every single fucking bastard who acts like this.

[rhineboycowstone]

Hope this isn’t seen as any type of hijacking your post, but I’d like to also add that this mentality hurts trans men, or really any trans masculine person who has a masculine body or wants a masculinized body as well. Being told that our bodies/our desired bodies are a curse and the idea that we should be thanking some deity for not ruining our bodies/repenting for ruining the gift they gave us is gross. Remove the nonbinary declaration and this is just the ideology of “Irreversible Damage”. I think a lot of trans men and mascs on this site have been trying to point out that this sentiment being widely accepted in queer spaces is hurting us too. (I think a lot of them are being gross dorks about their way of communicating it though, it literally just is trans misogyny directed towards us we don’t need a different term for the same ideas)

[this-is-transmisogyny]

while I don't disagree with your underlying point here, @rhineboycowstone, i do feel the need to point out that this transmisogyny is absolutely not directed towards you. the primary target of the screenshotted post is in fact AMAB nonbinary people.

i would have rathered you kept this response to the tags and let a transfem decide whether your response was worth elevating to the actual post, because frankly, you kind of are hijacking the post here. the original post was specifically about the mistreatment of transfeminine people, which here is catching transmasculine people in the crossfire - *not* using us as a cudgel to target you directly. not that that never happens, just that this is not an example of it.

[kids-toothpaste-enjoyer-deactiv]

not to be captain obvious here but they literally just knowingly lied about this for a decade & ruined our lives. there was never any evidence to support trans women having an advantage over cis women it was always just made up to further transmisogyny & sexism.

also notice how the telegraph is really trying to avoid using the word trans women, even referring to a trans women as a women is a crime in the uk.

[cdigoddess]

trust me the stereotypes are justified this time

[theparadoxspace]

i think part of the reason that "trans men dont have male privilege" has become so popular (other than a refusal to accept trans men ARE men for real and not some fake simulacrum, among many other things) is that 'male privilege' is seen by many as a sort of abstract omnipotent superpower that has to be consciously enforced specifically by cis white men and not like. a systemic force built into the foundation of the societies we live in and grow up in.

[fallout-lou-begas]

behold the genderfuck radical queer character who is disrupting the fuck out of gender norms. and then the character is just someone with facial and body hair wearing a dress. and the implication here is that the combination of these traits makes it obviously wrong or imperceptive to assume that this character could or would simply be a woman -- it has to be something else, something Radical -- since women couldn't possibly-- !

[fallout-lou-begas]

back in 2019 when i was doing research for my thesis, i read Invisible Lives: The Erasure of Transsexual and Transgendered People (2000) by Vivian K. Namaste and around page 145 in that book, there's a description of a 1978 study that was done on sexed physical characteristics and how quickly people assume sex from these things, and what the study showed was that even when presented with abundant and obvious female-sexed characteristics (e.g. long hair, soft face, breasts), several of them were required without contest for participants to be confident sexing a subject as female, but if a single male-sexed characteristic (e.g. facial/body hair, square jaw, penis) was present, participants would overwhelmingly sex the subject as male with much more confidence even if there were contradictory female-sexed features. crucially, the presence of a female-sexed feature did not inhibit their confidence in sexing a subject with otherwise exclusively male-sexed features as male to nearly the same degree. the conclusion of the study, in Namaste's words, was that "interpretation of sexed bodies [is] overwhelmingly skewed in favor of masculine referents." surely this documented bias has no implications for the way people perceive or respect trans women, and surely when it comes to character design decisions or vacuum-assumed assertions that "clothing has no gender," ignorance won't be functionally interchangeable with malice. now to just take a big sip of coffee and

This is transfeminism!

[jingerpi]

imagine you're a child, you learn your queer and your parents are extremely bigoted. you have some friends on Roblox who are very kind, they're in their early 20s and they sympathize as they went through the same things as a kid. they offer to use your correct name and pronouns, maybe some even offer to buy you a binder or help you find hrt or support groups local to you

roblox rolls out their age group system, and you can no longer talk to any adults on the platform. you can only talk to people in person, i.e. your parents, who are horrid. now you're back at square one, being helplessly abused. to make it worse, you're homeschooled, as I was. you can't reach out to anyone at school for support either.

or maybe you're not homeschooled, and you ask your pronouns to be used at school. it goes well for a while, and you feel some relief.

then your state passes a bill that requires forced outing. your teachers report to your parents that you've been trying out a different name and pronouns.

they pull you from school, send you to boarding school or conversion therapy, and force you to attend private schools in the future that match their values.

you are entirely under their control. you could've made connections with other adults, ones willing to help you out. to treat you like a human, give you access to life saving care. and it's stripped away, you're alone, and everything feels hopeless.

this is the reality for many children. this is almost exactly what I went through as a child. it is not a mere hypothetical, it happens regularly. please stop falling for this moral grandstanding, it's about control- it's always been about control.

[transsexual-feminism]

This is where transfeminism, youth liberation, and privacy rights meet. Dont let people tell you this is about "protecting kids". It's about controlling them.

This is transfeminism!
