The transfeminine urge to have huge boobs. i mean some serious honkers. a real set of badonkers. packin some dobonhonkeros. massive dohoonkabhankoloos. big ol' tonhongerekoogers.
This. This was my 1000th post…
And I hate how that tracks
(spent too long on Tumblr voice) actually the status quo is okay! It's okay to be the status quo! you don't have to be anything besides the status quo! #statusquoaffirmation #statusquosafe
gender studies and queer academia seems to be a competition who can say the most offensively transmisogynistic shit, and then they'll reward each other for it
TMEs when confronted with the opportunity to help a trans woman in need of support
you're just mad because you're hungry and tired and your legs hurt and you head hurts and you're too hot and you have depression
"im no better than a man" is a thought cisbians should be having whenever they feel compelled to talk down to trans women instead of like. when a girl has boobs.
It's funny how nobody gave a shit about Ralsei's (And also Jax/Bridget) femininity before Ch5 dropped, but now that there's actual implications of Transfem Ralsei, out come the Enlightened Loremasters ready to nitpick every last pixel and line of dialogue and claim that it's "Femboy erasure" like femboys are some sort of oppressed class beaten down by the Evil Trans Women.
People will strain every muscle in their body to stretch for reasons why it's not okay to see a character as Transfem, with all the vigor of a conservative, and then get offended when you imply there might be a reason why they feel that way
And also does it not seem a little shitty that basically nobody brings up Transmasc/FTM characters/theories unless they're specifically shitting on Transfem/MTF characters/theories?
finished that Jax WIP because she's still cool
"all you ever do is complain" that's not true. I also resent.
whenever theres a woman im like YAY. whenever theres not a woman im like meh. i’ve seen better
Eyes away from the tv glow
Ribbit putting makeup on Jax for the first time but she keeps crying it off (may or may not based on a true story)
oh. I didnt realize "anti psych" meant, like, deconstructing the social hegemony of psychiatry. I said I was anti psyche because I believe in systematically destroying the soul
Tumblr’s one true talent is making me sick of things I’ve never seen or read or heard.
Gender abolitionists only ever seem to want to abolish trans women’s gender. What’s up with that?
Three things have happened in my local trans community in the past month:
A transmasc drag queen made a call-out post about how a newly-out local trans woman is a sexual predator. (The sexual offence was that, 6 years ago, before she came out, she was at a drag show with the drag queen (who was her friend at the time) and joked that the drag queen's makeup looked a bit like semen.) The trans woman spiralled, got drunk, got hit by a car, and is currently in hospital.
A newly-out trans woman and a trans man met at a local trans support group. They decided to meet up again at a local pub. She apparently asked questions about his transition that he considered invasive, and in a voice that was too loud and risked outing him to other people in the venue. She now faces being banned from the support group.
The only trans woman who volunteers to run that support group is being kicked off the team by the trans man who is in charge of it. The reason is that she once told the guy in charge to "stop talking" when he was giving her several instructions at once, and also that a different transmasc volunteer has said they find her "creepy" and don't want to be alone with her.
All three trans women are autistic, isolated, and don't have much practice with irl socialising. Maybe they're a little bit loud, maybe a little bit abrasive, maybe they misjudge the appropriateness of sexual comment to a friend at a drag show, maybe they're too keen to make a new friend that they get excitable and speak too loud and ask too many questions, maybe they get overstimulated by being told too many instructions and need you to stop for a second to give them space.
Maybe their behaviour that you consider weird and unsettling is actually a trauma response to a childhood and adolescence of isolation and bullying.
And you know what the funny thing is? I have been sexually harassed at a drag show by the drag queen in (1), who was performing and making sexual jokes about various people in the audience. I have been in a public place with the trans man in (2) while he asked me loud invasive questions about my HRT regimen and about child abuse I suffered. And I have been misgendered and deadnamed repeatedly by the trans man in (3).
And do you know what I did about any of these things? Nothing, beyond saying "Hey, I'd appreciate if you don't do that next time 👍 No hard feelings 🙂". Because, not only am I aware that people make mistakes, and I consider trans men and transmascs a vulnerable demographic and it would be a totally unjust overreaction from me to attempt to socially isolate them for these offences.
But also, I don't have the social power to do anything about these things anyway, even if I wanted to. My normal response to experiencing even serious abuse at a queer event is to simply stop attending it, isolating myself, and perhaps telling a few close friends about it. Because I already know that my complaints will not be taken seriously.
Trans women are being isolated irl every day for behaviours that other demographics can do with impunity. They are not given any grace, any benefit of the doubt, any second chances, and complaints about even the smallest offence will be taken seriously and escalated. And they will not be able to fight back, because a trans woman who fights back is just confirming all the bigoted assumptions that the wider world already has about her.
