This person has been going onto posts about transandrophobia and making either backhanded compliments or trying to make the posts about trans fems (while also having reblogged shit that claimed transandrophobia is a term that doesn’t make sense) and now they’ve sunk to sexual harassment with the claim that since it’s online it isn’t ACTUALLY sexual harassment because there’s no physical contact. I’m blocking them now but not only did they infuriate me, they also legit disgusted me and made me feel uncomfortable with this part so please throw some rocks at them. (They told me to suck their gock/cock hence my reply of ‘I’m aro’ (meant to pit ace’))

went to block and found this. Of fucking course. Because non binary people dont have dysphoria ever right and our identity and presentation is just "cosplay". Did you even fucking read any of the notes on that post, because I know exactly who posted it and how many people it made feel safer and how many shared their experiences. But no you want to say ignorant.

Also fucking hell. You're 16. I had non binary friends way before that age and I wouldve felt sick is anyone had treated them like this. On one hand I feel sorry for you. On the other, fuck you for harming innocent people.

Idk what trans man needs to hear this but you're NOT evil or disgusting for being a man. You do NOT have to suffer for the sins of the patriarchy committed by cis dudes. Being a man doesn't invalidate the misogyny you experienced growing up or experience now. Being a man doesn't mean you deserve to be isolated. Being a man doesn't mean you're inherently predatory or scary. You didn't "choose" this, and finding your true self is NOT "betraying the community" because you happen to be a man and/or masculine rather than a woman and/or feminine. You ARE allowed to be upset when people "affirm" your gender by malgendering you.

You DO deserve a community that uplifts you. You DO deserve to experience trans joy. You DO deserve to have your voices heard and your struggles recognized. Wanting the bare minimum of solidarity is NOT "making everything about trans men".

[throw-bricks-at-transphobes]

publicly shaming people who regularly get 2 notes on posts, whos are very clearly wildly suicidal, doesn't seem very helpful?

What are you hoping to accomplish other than pushing hurt members of our community even further into isolation?

very confused about this because, to my knowledge, i’ve never received a submission from a vent post or a post tagged as a vent. even if a submission was from a vent post, it would still be posted.

the posts tagged with #public.shaming are blocklist posts. every post with that tag are submissions of users who are openly transphobic. that includes (potential) vent posts where the user is transphobic in the posts. because the tag is for a blocklist. the context does not matter if someone is being transphobic.

" i wish mpreg was real / i wish men could get pregnant "

translation:

" i wont acknowledge the fact that there are men who can and do get pregnant and / or i don't see trans, nonbinary, and intersex men as men "

Being uncomfortable with femininity being pushed onto you does not make you misogynistic. not wanting to be feminine does not make you misogynistic. rejecting feminine qualities does not make you a pick-me. embracing traditionally masculine things does not automatically mean you’re embracing toxic masculinity. wanting to be a man does not mean you want to “benefit from the patriarchy.” Anyone who implies or tells you these points is acting in bad faith.

I see so many people shaming/belittling transmascs and trans men for their transition (including other transmascs/trans men who are ashamed of themselves), and it sucks. You’re allowed to be masculine. You’re allowed to be a man. You’re allowed to dislike being a woman. You’re not a bad person for doing so. Men aren’t “the enemy” and you aren’t evil for wanting to become one, or wanting to become attached to manhood in any way/shape/form. If I had internalized this earlier, I think I would’ve understood myself a lot sooner

hey, trans ppl who've transed multiple times, what path have you trod?

first trans woman, then nonbinary

first trans man, then nonbinary

first nonbinary, then trans man

first nonbinary, then trans woman

first nonbinary, then a notably different nonbinary

first transfem, then a different transfem

first transmasc, then a different transmasc

trans man and stayed that way

trans woman and stayed that way

nonbinary and stayed that way

bruh it's too complicated

Nonbinary is meant as an umbrella for anything not captured by typical understandings of male or female.

Yeah, these aren't entirely mutually exclusive or all-encompassing. It's a Tumblr poll I made in ten minutes. Use whatever feels most true to you, I'm not the gender police, it's just for fun. Write out your story if you want.

Origin: talking to my partner who started as a very binary trans woman and is now a pangender-esque enby. I've played a bit with terms and pronouns and developed my conceptualization, but I've been largely the same type of nonbinary (agender/xenogender/some fucking entity).

Hot take for this site I know, but replacing "having a penis makes you evil and a ticking time bomb of a rapist/abuser" with "having he/him pronouns makes you evil and a ticking time bomb of a rapist/abuser" is not progressive at all, actually!

Grows up as a woman being told to “shut up and sit down” all the time. Transition. Is still told to “shut up and sit down”. Get upset that you’re still facing misogyny even from members of your supposed community. Get told you’re transmisogynist, by the person who was being misogynist.

Welcome to being a trans man!! :)

guys do we remember when the woke take was that trans people shouldnt have to out themselves to be allowed into queer/trans safe spaces? this also applies to trans men. this applies to cis male passing trans men. this applies to trans men who look like cishet dudes. this applies to trans men

Sorry that it's difficult for me to believe that staff doesn't target transmascs, but the entire FTMblr community has vanished without a trace overnight nearly two days ago with 0 explanation or communication from staff. And I've seen not a single post about it outside of the backup community. So perhaps you just do not see when transmascs are being targeted.

[transmisandrysucks]

I'm not like other transmascs, those whiny pissy losers crying about their issues? Nah, I laugh at those babies!

Oh wow, so tough and special, should we throw you a pizza party?

Such tough shit has to vague blog to complain about other trans people rather than actually calling anyone being toxic out? I'm sure complaining vaguely about trans men and mascs without providing any examples has been the key all along, that'll really stop transmisogyny!

Dr. Alan Hart, a trans man from the USA who pioneered the use of X-ray photography in tuberculosis detection (saving countless lives according to researchers), was "reclaimed" by the lesbian community after his death in 1962, which means he was deadnamed and described as "a women loving woman who had to transition because at the time transsexualism was a quick medicine against sexism and homophobia" by numerous gay and lesbian associations and activists (including Jonathan Ned Katz whom I just quoted and who received many awards for his contributions to... I don't know, transphobia against trans men I guess), even though his widow always expressed how offensive it was to both her and her husband to refer to them as lesbians.

Hart was on testosterone, legally changed his name, and had gotten a hysterectomy (that was described as "unfortunate" by the Right to Privacy gay and lesbian political action committee), making him the first documented trans man to transition in the USA, yet he was characterized as a lesbian woman because cis gays and lesbians had the nerve (when do they NOT have the nerve, dare I say) to think they had the right to "honor [his] life as a woman" by having fundraiser dinners with his deadname attached to them, having college lectures where they talked about him as a lesbian hero, and using she pronouns for him until 2000. The USAmerican trans community, including trans activist Lou Sullivan, had to fight to defend Hart's identity and to have his manhood recognized by the wider community by protesting these lectures and dinners and having a conversation with the Portland chapter of the Lesbian Avengers association, which ended up having a favorable response and joining the trans community in the battle.

I want to end this by reporting the words of Candice Hellen Brown, a trans woman from Portland who wrote a letter to Just Out magazine in 1994 defending Hart's transness:

The Right to Privacy Political Action Committee in Oregon has a big fundraiser every year that is called the [deadname] Hart Dinner. When asked if I am going, I indignantly answer, "Not until they stop using the wrong name and gender for one of our heroes!" His name is Alan [. . .] He never wavered from his identity as a man, and upon his death, his widow continued to insist that he was a man. Why would such a straight man be called a lesbian by the gay community when today we would certainly call him a female-to-male transsexual? [. . .] He was transsexual or, at least, a transgenderist - a true pioneer. One who is seen as a hero by today's transsexual community. Please don't let him be taken away from us by allowing his old name to be used as though it were a badge of honor.

Think about this story every time the "trans men never contributed to anything in history" discourse resurfaces again. If this can happen to a famous historical figure from the USA and from a relatively recent time who medically transitioned and was explicitly out as a trans man, imagine how many others from other countries, historical periods, and situations have been erased or "reclaimed".
