It is interesting that people seem to be able to conceptualize "AFABs" as being capable of having complex experiences with gender, yet transfeminized people (presumed "males" and "AMABs") must subject themselves to impossible standards to perform womanhood enough to be acknowledged and accepted, lest we are just another patriarch who deserves nothing.
Thus is the transmisogynistic bias of the ATIB.
What I am saying is that many people still see things in the FTM/MTF binary and they want to force the people they'd put in the FTM camp into maintaining enough femaleness to be "safe" - while demanding the people they'd put in the MTF camp break their backs to achieve it otherwise they are dangerous.
Anti-masculinity in queer spaces resulting in bio essentialism & gross actions against divers people. I have a lot in depth to say on it, but I feel ill. So that will take longer than I excpected.

Hi, I wrote up a little letter for people to send to staff in response to their recent statement about the most recent transfem ban wave to ask more of staff concerning this issue. If that's something it's appropriate to share on this blog I've included it below as well as steps for submitting feedback below if anyone hasn't done it before or needs clear instructions. If you (or anyone else) have suggestions for me or want to make alterations/additions feel free. If this isn't the right place for it, no worries and have a wonderful day

Dear Staff,
I appreciate that staff has reinstated some accounts that were banned in the last wave and I think the current "goal of responding to mistaken suspension appeals within 24 hours" is a good step in moving forward.
However, today I was made aware of the banning of a blog which criticized staff's well recorded actions against trans bloggers only hours after staff's apology went out. See here: https://www.tumblr.com/turbro/814174690287484929/this-blog-being-deleted-by-staff-less-than-3-hours?
The fact that this occurred indicates to me that knowledge about the issue is still being suppressed by punishing bloggers who draw attention to it, and implies that staff may not be planning to follow through on its promises to the LGBTQ+ community.
With this in mind, by the beginning of June (pride month) I would like to hear a plan for staff to:
1) Address the transphobia in their ranks by identifying which moderators, procedures and/or site features are causing transwomen and their posts to be disproportionately surveilled and banned,
2) Make both the banning and appeals processes more rigorous and transparent in general and when it comes to transwomen- especially transwomen of color- in particular,
When this plan is laid out, I want to see monthly updates detailing how and when each step of the plan is implemented.
Apologies are not sufficient redress for the material harm done to people caught in ban waves like the most recent one. People rely on social media like Tumblr as part of their social networks, for mutual aid, and even for their careers. As @husbanddaughter said before they were banned, "the normal number of people to have their accounts removed from your platform, without being given any warning or an opportunity after the fact to request any kind of appeal, based solely off of the false reports being made by open and proud bigots and serial harassers, is none…it certainly shouldn't be happening almost exclusively to an extremely vulnerable minority demographic."
I hope that Tumblr is willing to take these steps to become a site which is safe for trans people.

Pawesome! I will post this:)
thank you to @adragonsfriend for putting the time in to make this and @transfem-issues for posting it!
reblogging for awareness and to include a version of the letter which doesn’t have line breaks for ease of copy-pasting. (see below) both i and OP are pretty small blogs so please reblog this and send it to bigger accounts who care/claim to care about transfem issues and ask them to reblog it too. we may not be able to make staff change what they’re doing but at the very least we should make them know how many of us there are and that we’re not happy with this shit.

Had a list of transfeminist literature that I only now found out leads nowhere. Broken links. FMFL
The most nonpassing a trans woman can get while still being supported by the trans community is feminine, lightskinned/whiteskinned, skinny, eurocentric beauty standards, & maybe like. a shorter haircut or a big nose... MAYBE!!
and if she's anything less than that, she is like. a horrible person or something. (we all know why y'all react differently to Lily Tino than you do Ethel Caine.)

tapping the sign in height of the transmisogyny permeating from all sides of the discourse.
not to feed into it, but you all whine too damn much.
I fear people may purposefully misinterpret this if I don't clarify my reblog so:
Put your defensiveness down, really sit down and think about what this articule is saying, get all the way through it, and contemplate. Y'all on tumblr see any criticism of you or people on "your side" and jump to illogical extremes of defensiveness. Don't do that while reading.
Just. Read this. It's a super short read, took me under 2 minutes to read twice. But I'm faster so idk. Let's say it takes 5 minutes of your time at most. I have posts on this blog more long-winded than this. It's to the point and important.
Anyways, it does deppress me severely that a post I thought was a good introduction to the massive self hatred doom spiral that infects a lot of transfeminized spaces, killing off our youth who cannot see a future where they are free.. Keeping people from transitioning, keeping people miserable, in unhealthy spaces, digitally self-harming, etc... was then taken to be made an example of the issue.
I'd be remiss if I didn't touch on how discourse & the toxicity in those spaces didn't play a role in the lack of accessible, positive environments for transfeminized people to exist in. Online or off.
There's not a lot of options & it is isolating. It feels eternal. And since nobody talks about it, nobody gives these people a voice, they drown in their own misery.
I am lucky to be alive, to have came past this. But many still suffer every day. And I want to try and make them feel seen. To know somebody who's gotten over the bring is still thinking about those on the other side. They are not alone nor abandoned.
Yet, people who are not only self-harmful but at the point where their issues are harming others and encouraging them to stay strapped in their chains found the post and started fearmongering a message of love and acceptance. Nothing is sadder than the misery groups online can cause, and it should be evident with this situation.
There's a lot to be said, but I am going to be a person for a second and say: I'm deppressed, underfed, and too poor to eat so I feel too lightheaded to make an adequate response to the situation nor to go in depth on the nuance of how multiple social factors contribute to the adhorrent choices of space that any lost, scared, confused, isolated, ostracized, etc transfeminized person has to choose from.

Since they blocked me before I could reply (how normal).
Bare with me! Long post.
TLDR: this person makes a mockery of themselves, and I reply adequately.
adding on to any reblogs on that post since obviously I cannot reply to it.. Keep in mind how malinformed this person is while we read these add ons
reblog on that addition: #saw a mutual reblog this post and got really pissed off. thanks for this addition.
I only said "don't define trans womanhood by oppression and suffering."
Very telling. Thought nobody disagreed with that message @dame-jigglebones? Hmm.. so weird! Thay you'd disagree with my message and it alone.
#op sux
Another one! So weird, almost like a certain group of people feel called OUT by this but can't SAY that so they want to discredit me.. Wow... wild..
#I got bad vibes from this post (prev wasn't who put it on my dash)#I go to ops blog and look up “transandrophobia”#The top post is her gloating over a dead blog thats telling people to block some of the largest blogs in the transandrobro circles
AND MORE! Wow. Supporting trans women ACTUALLY with 0 ulterior self aggrandizement purpose = transandro!!
Also. Do you mean the TME who wanted to use tumblr transmisogyny to ban trans women who disagreed with them? That post?
#as soon as you start comparing transfeminists to terfs you do not have an argument#how fucking backhanded
Do you mean the notes? Comparing the radfem beliefs about womanhood to being pain to other fake feminists beliefs about womanhood being pain?
Also! Again with the "no you just don't like transfeminists!"
I thought transfeminists agreed with this take? If they agree with me, and NONE EVER say this, why are so many disagreeing and getting personally offended and defending the belief with "well !! its just transfeminism!!"
yall r fuckin fake transfeminists.
Yea, well, when you can say "don't define trans womanhood by oppression" and the response is about shitcourse and how you are "a psyop" by somebody who doesn't even know what transmisogyny means, you'll have that.
Literally never understood this. "This extension owned by people who believe the same discourse stance as me also disagrees with you". Okay? Is this an excuse to be anti intellectual? To not do critical thinking because "the people who agree with my discourse side agree so I will just use them as a source!!"
Lol. I hate people willfully incapable of critical thinking. Or discussing.

anyways, these tags explain the actual point for people dealing with a discourse addiction:
poetry
#it's also a continuation/evolution of transmed ideology with the idea you can't be trans without dysphoria and dysphoria makes you trans#combined with the miserable radfem concept that womanhood is defined by how you suffer by society rather than just you know Being a Woman#because if you are suffering just because for social forces outside your control you feel powerless#it feels more empowering to embrace that suffering when in reality it is a farce#it is a box imposed upon oneself to never be happy#and unless you accept that you simply are because you are#and that identity will persevere past the forces pushing you down#you will not escape that feeling#when one day if you do you may not lead a perfect life but you will look back and see how you felt before#and realize the progress in being happy as you is the most revolutionary thing and what these forces find most dangerous#they want you to crab bucket each other. don't fall for it. find your joy even if you need to crawl and scrape and scream for it
This is exactly the full message I was trying to convey and its super important to me. As somebody who was once stuck there and see so many tran women who stay stuck there. But, of course, you can profit off of actually caring.
okay this is too long i'll make multiple
part 2 of replying to people adding on and agreeing to this nonsense.
Other than the pretty straightforward understanding of "look, you can't claim that TMA/TME defines transfemininity as victimization, because that implies that womanhood is defined by victimization as long as misogyny exists, same as any other form of marginalization," it's true that identity shouldn't be a point of suffering, but the reason we have to band together is that the material conditions of transphobia and misogyny exist and affect everyone whether we like it to or not, and not being able to recognize and resist that is erodes our ability to support each other. I mean unless intersectionality means nothing. but i think it should
#I don't usually add on but i think the conclusion here can be pretty concisely made#transfeminism
Yea, nobody was saying shit about TMA. And also your point disagrees with who you reblogged, or at the very least isn't the same at all. Like idk what to even do with this telephone game anymore.
#blog called “transfem issues”#look inside#transandrophobia truther
transandrophobia truthing is when you make a blog only about transfem issues but someone has to make it about themselves with the most clealry bs rant you've ever read if you think critically about it & suddenly people who are afflicted with the discourse disease literally cannot read a word you say cuz "uhmm u r red n u dont dickride our pisscourse beliefs"
Mind you, only transfems mentioned. and only talking about transfem issues. in a sanitized space away from discourse.
imagine bringing up trans dudes on a post explicitly not about them then thinking youre defending transfems at all.
#it reads like an anti transfem psyop *because it is one*#transfeminism
message for transfems by a transfem about transfem issues is a psyop because uneducated people need something to discourse about
Seeing takes on here like 'trans women are defined by experiencing transmisogyny' make me so sad.. What a doom-spiralling thing to push onto the community, especially any hatchlings.
Instead of going "you are trans and thats okay, being trans isn't bad, the word just treats you in a bad way because of it and it hurts, sure, but you need to stay resilliant and relearn to love yourself and take pride in your identity" y'all wanna push the narrative that our trans identity is defined by pain and suffering. Nothing else. There's no joy in transfemininity, just suffering. Being trans is to suffer.
And that is a rhetoric I hate deeply. It is filled with so much internalized grief over trans identity, I don't understand how anyone would push that onto other people.
If you want to give up hope we'll ever get rights & believe that no trans woman will ever be happy, do that on your own time, but don't make it a major point in your queercourse opinions. Genuinely cannot believe I must make this statement.
^^^
damn thats poetry
It also leaves you in this really awkward situation where you think "okay, but am I oppressed enough to be a real trans woman?"

Hey notallwhitpeople is following you and they are a very obvious racist troll who likes to stir shit up. They leave their "following" and "likes" open to try and direct hate to the blogs they interact with while posing as a serious acct. You dont have to post this I just wanted to give you a heads up so you can block!
I heard about that blog the other day but didn't know people were using their following/like tab to go after people. That's stupid as shit.

Hey sorry if this is very specific or has an obvious answer, but is this blog accepting of people IDing as transfem in a non-traditional way? Like transfemmasc and intersex or plural transfems who were afab?
Yea, I have too normal of a relationship with queerness & online/irl spaces to be a chud about queers.
I would lament about transfem issues but tumblr's climate has gotten so much more anti-transfem - I just am too deppressed.
Seeing this blog is so exciting! There's so many posts out there that have a bunch of good transfem and trans woman centered transfeminist theory, and then they just slip a few jabs in there at trans people who don't fit the aforementioned category. Like, the post could have centered trans women, it could have been a great commentary, but the urge to lash out with exclusionist fervor is too strong apparently. Seeing posts that Actually center trans women is amazing!
I actually agree 100%... I saw a post on the #transmisogyny tag here about a tiktok comment section.
Essentially, the commenter told the trans dude "hey! I mistook you for a trans woman at first - that's how well you passed!" essentially equating trans woman to = man - and it was SO disgusting. Unfortunately, I was unable to reblog it because instead of talking about how disgusting it was - the person who reposted it to tumblr just made it about how The TMEs were better off and horrible or whatever...
It's genuinely mind numbing to try and have discussion about your oppression when everyone rather go care about shit that helps nobody at best - harms everyone incredibly at worst.
It feels very isolating sometimes. I hope that every time I ACTUALLY post about important stuff for the sake of caring about it - someone out there feels less alone and more seen in their struggle. This bs just simply needs to end.
