important follow up to these two posts: post 1 post 2

I think a big contributor to why our own community hates us so much is the inability to admit that our hyperinvisibility is by design.

Transphobes need to keep us invisible so the "poor little girls who need to be freed from the trans mind virus" narrative stays strong.

Transmisogynists especially need this narrative, because they use us to villianize transfems. Transmascs are the princesses locked in the tower, and transfems are the dragons that the transmisogynists need to slay.

I think it's important to remember that transfems are hypervisible. They are targetted more; I would even say they're more oppressed and that "we're all faggots in the eyes of the state" doesn't apply here. Transmisogyny is just too widespread, too normalized, for us to be "oppressed equally."

As for 'afab privilege' or the idea that transmascs have a super special privilege over transfems that no one else has, I have other thoughts on that but they wouldn't fit this post. I'm just gonna say acknowledging that transfems are more oppressed than us doesn't mean you have to believe in either of those.

You had me until the second to last paragraph. Transfems aren't targeted more, nor are they more oppressed. We're all targeted equally and equally oppressed in different ways. Hell, there's ways that transmascs with vaginas and uteruses are more oppressed actually (reproductive issues).

Maybe the disconnect is the transmasc erasure then. Feels like we only really exist as a thing to be saved from trans women. There-in lies the "privilege" of being woobified.

God ew. ew ew ew ew ew. It's not a privilege to be reduced to a damsel; Especially with how much focus is on our reproductive systems.

geez i've tried to find the right words for this for nearly an hour! fuck

maybe i need to take a break, no clue what's wrong with me

edit: ok we’re at work! i can reply to everyone when we get back

edit 2: no longer believe in the crossed out stuff

getting into black culture? i’ll show you something interesting. the two types of black culture are “co-opted” and “stripped of its background” voodoo? co-opted. black hairstyles? stripped of its background. black slurs? co-opted. AAVE? stripped of its background. despite being co-opted by an entirely different race, hip hop was stripped of its background!

i think 90% of the discourse would go away if we ALL stopped insisting that transandrophobia and transmisogyny are counterparts

THE CREATOR OF THE TERM EXPLICITLY SAID IT WASN'T!!!

#transandrophobia #transmasc

we need to start cracking down on transmisogyny in our spaces, guys

transandrophobia is real, deserves to be a term, and deserves to be talked about.

but many of us, in defense of this term, are turning to transmisogyny to defend it.

and even outside of this discourse, I see so many brothers casually speaking over transfems and shaming them for being upset about it. what are we doing, y'all???

below the cut, here's a couple things we can start with:

#transandrophobia #transmasc #transmasculine #tmisogyny

the dog is all bark, all bite. but it says it's only barking. it's not actually gonna bite. but if it did bite, it was deserved and justified and a good thing. but it's not gonna bite. but it should. it should be allowed to bite you. not that it ever would. could you put your hand a little closer to its snout?

#transandrophobia

the misogyny, malgendering, transphobia and overall oppression that comes from those wanting you to be a woman is perfectly encapsulated by "transandrophobia"

see i feel where part of the pushback against the term transandrophobia comes from is people who have seen a few posts about it and run with the assumptions they've made from that, instead of actually taking the time to understand what it means and how it is used BY TRANS MEN AND TRANSMASCS

bc like, there's a lot of people who aren't trans men or transmascs who are breaking it down as trans-androphobia, whereas trans men and transmascs typically break it down as transandro-phobia (when explaining how the word is formed) and this fundamentally changes the meaning and so a lot of the people who claim "transandrophobia isn't real" and that the word transandrophobia "isnt the best word to use" are talking about something fundamentally different from how most trans men and transmascs would define transandrophobia (its worth mentioning here that, considering it's a term meant to describe the specific oppression that trans men and transmascs face, their definition is the 'correct' one)

ofc there are also people who a) continue to see the issues that are talked about under the term of transandrophobia and go around telling trans men and transmascs that they should use a term that they (often not being a trans man or transmasc) prefer or b) just dont care / actively contribute to the problem of transandrophobia, i just think maybe there are some people out there who might be more understanding of the term and people who use it if they actually took the time to learn about what it means + how it is used

tmasc-bunny

it is also worth noting that a lot of people, transmasc and not, keep thinking of transandrophobia as "the transmasc version of transmisogyny"

the original coiner of the term EXPLICITLY did not want it to be that!!

#transandrophobia

been thinking about my reblog regarding anti-blackness and transmisogyny and how the two are so similar, i might make a more comprehensive post

#misogynoir #tmisogyny #antiblackness

does anyone have any examples of transandrophobia being used to minimize transmisogyny because I have no idea how that would work

well all the arguments against transandrophobia existing don't make sense, but that's one I REALLY don't get

#transandrophobia

rebrand!

#bunnyposting

i should start bunnyposting too

yay :)

im not even fully opposed to using tma/tme to discuss how transmisogyny works, even within the trans community but it’s extremely obvious that some of y’all only use it so you can disguise your hatred of other trans people

tmasc-bunny

been trying to find a way to articulate how i feel about it. yeah. trans women are always going to be the most affected by transmisogyny, there is 0 point in denying that. they should be allowed to have the language to discuss that!!

but denying room for intersex people, using the language as a mask to be transphobic, and especially saying other demographics shouldn't make their own words?

well, it gets to a point.

idk who needs to hear this: microlabels are so so so so so so fucking important

what makes me say this is aspec microlabels specifically. I have now two friends who realized they were on the arospec and the acespec because microlabels exist

please stop shitting on them, they are such a good way to explain to someone why they are still Identity, even if they don't fit the Identity Criteria

i often wonder if black trans men are better able to understand transmisogyny than white trans men because of the similarities between transmisogyny and misogynoir

tmasc-bunny

a lot of transmisogyny is similar to racism

-"actually you're a MAN" -stares from the public -dehumanized as a quirky, so edgy XD, meme -dehumanized to violent extremes these are all on the lighter side but it's the fastest examples I could think of
