Squirrelstar says transition

Be yourself. She/they

Clarifying for anons, I am not only a woman, but a hot one.

the online identity and gimmick-ifying of autism is so odd. I'm diagnosed with autism and yet I barely identify with any stuff I see about it anymore. It feels like autism is being rebranded as the Silly Guy Disorder that gives you smart and beautiful hyperspecific interests. it's not that I mind silly jokes or being lighthearted about being autistic- but when the entire social movement is based around marketing us this way, I just can't help but feel isolated from it. it feels like I'm not the right kind of autistic. I'm not marketable and digestible to common audiences, and therefore I am discarded by the movement in the name of progress and acceptance. it feels foul.

Special shoutout to all the queer, intersex, and trans het folks. Sorry for all the “it’s illegal to be straight this month” jokes you’ll have to endure. Y’all are still very much part of the community.

[vinterfeminism]

This is interfeminism!!

[this-is-trans-joy]

everyone loves to hate terfs until they realise that it actually entails rejecting bioessentialism entirely and then suddenly you’re “taking things too seriously” and you “don’t have a sense of humour” like i’m sorry but saying protect the dolls doesn’t make you immune to terfism it has seeped into every corner of mainstream feminism and unless you’re actively searching it out and checking your own biases you will always be at risk of sharing a space with terfs

“Only women can—” nope. “But all men—” nah. “The divine femininity of—” gonna stop you right there. “Everyone born ama—” if you finish that sentence I’ll kill you. “Men don’t experience—” you’re wrong. “Gender isn’t real but sex is imm—” *loud incorrect buzzer*

It also goes without saying that bioessentialism inherently can’t be trans inclusive no matter how hard you try. “All men including trans men—” probably not. “This is only a woman’s issue—” is it really? “Afabs only—” why? “All trans men are like—” what? what are they like? finish the sentence i dare you.

The trans community should show more love to intersex trans people. Whenever I see a positivity post it almost always feels like it is directed at perisex trans people

[han-the-human]

I'm so pissed off that the movement which villainizes and infantilizes trans men and erases nonbinary and intersex people is being called "transfeminism"

Because I think we do need a feminist movement that focuses on trans people!

All trans people!

And creating a system like TMA and TME is such a bullshit and unhelpful way to do that

Like "yes we will put everyone into two boxes, "good oppressed real trans woman" and "evil malfunctioning women who we all hate and deserve to be murdered with guns". This system is very progressive and feminist and accounts for all trans people. If you have any issues with it then you are an evil transphobic misogynist who clearly hates all trans women."

Wow great. This is what we are calling transfeminism?

[leighlew3]

ALL. OF. THIS.

Hell yeah i do

Honestly you should question your identity more. Either you learn more about yourself or you’re just more confident in who you are.

[balder1902]

This applies to cis people too and outside of gender as well

I’ve recently realized that I’m not just a woman. I’m not sure exactly what yet but definitively identify as a few neogenders. Might try using neopronouns. But right now just using she/they

[transfemme-shelterdog]

Pride Month Reminder:

T4T does not, nor has it ever meant, exclusively transfem for transfem.

It's *just* trans 4 trans

What kind of trans does NOT matter. It's all t4t

I found out today that there was a (thankfully very ill-fated) attempt to have the entire Wikipedia article on discrimination against transgender men deleted. At first I thought the perpetrator was yet another bargain bin transphobe/TERF act of disruption but apparently not so, she is a trans woman. The user in question had been disputing the use of transandrophobia in the article as being inappropriate, but as other editors pointed out, the way in which it was used was as to be expected (basically saying “hey this term is being used commonly right now in places to describe this phenomena”). When attempts to get the article edited to remove any mention of the term failed, this user instead decided to just nominate the whole article for deletion instead. She even went as far as to say “you will never be a man” to the editors disputing this, though it was quickly deleted. It’s the actions of only a single person, but I find this indicative of how the chronic devaluing and othering of transmasculine people and voices in faux-transfeminist spaces leads to action basically indistinguishable from cis transphobes. Resorting to attempted vandalism of an online resource and blatant transphobia is a symptom of this trend that deserves absolutely no patience at this point.

[professorfcknmoriarty]

[uncouthsecretblr]

Both Transandrophobia And Transmisogyny Exist

also to add

Also Exorsexism And Intersexism Too

[splatoweentown]

transfem is not a synonym for a trans person who was amab

transmasc is not a synonym for a trans person who was afab

insisting they are is exorsexist and intersexist

[donniehaspronouns]

this might piss some people off but I don’t think some of you actually ever tried to unlearn your hatefulness. you just came out as queer and decided your new targets really truly deserve it this time.
