It's not so bad, living in a timeloop. Sure the weather's not great and I really wish I'd washed my favourite pair of jeans the night before like I meant to, but its not the end of the world.

I go for a lot of walks. And I'm slowly working my way through every single museum in a two day radius. I'm even thinking of learning Japanese.

The thing is though...

I don't know what happens to the rest of the world when I reset.

It's not like I can change much. Forty-eight hours is technically enough time to get anywhere in the world. But it's a pretty long jump when it takes thirteen hours even to land in another country. Also I don't like going without my wife.

I did key a homophobic local politician's car once. That was fun. And it did give me an idea.

I've started I'm collecting winning Tattslotto numbers. And dedicating the winnings to local groups. The local homeless shelter got $14 million a couple of loops ago, the same to Greenpeace. Today it's going to a queer support group.

I don't know if the money will still be there tomorrow when I'm not. But I hope it is. I like to think whatever world is going on without me

Is a slightly better place.

yk i think the fundamental problem is that transmascs dont believe that they belong to a different demographic than us transfems. i think its that they still believe in a Trans Community of one demographic - the Trans Demographic, with one unified Trans Experience, rather than that of women and men who share a marginalization

this shows up when transfems make posts for and about other transfems, and invariably transmascs will come along to try and make it about them as well. they dont see it as a womens post, they see it as a Trans post that hasnt mentioned transmascs yet

this also shows up in discussions of transmisogyny. transfems discuss the intersectional bigotry we face and transmascs will get defensive that the conversation centres us and not the Trans Demographic as a whole. this is where "transandrophobia" theory comes in, from transmascs misconstruing transmisogyny as just "transphobia for girls" and insisting there must be a transphobia for boys in return, and to deny "transandrophobia" legitimacy is to deny that transmascs face any transphobia. its morphed into its own transmisogynist violence at this point but its inception was very clearly fueled by the transmasc insecurity over there not being one Trans Experience. transmascs think there has to be a blue version, because they dont conceive of transfems belonging to a different demographic than them

i think no small part of this is that transmasculine transition doesnt force them to reckon with transmisogyny the same way transfeminine transition does. of course, it would be wrong to claim no transfem falls victim to this, but far more transfems do have that reckoning because we are forcibly subjected to transmisogyny. and because transmascs flatten the demographic to just Trans, they believe themselves to have a postion of authority to speak on trans issues without ever being forced to interrogate their inherent transmisogynist biases from living in a transmisogynist society and understand the misogyny within the demographic, and any pushback against them is pushback against the Trans Demographic as a whole

my problem with all of this is that nobody who needs to hear it is going to listen to me, because ultimately were dealing with men, moreover: marginalized men, and men prefer to revel in their power to speak over women and take up space and assume they know best rather than listen to the women in their "community" when we tell them theyre wrong. after all, what reason do transmascs have to think otherwise? i mean, were all faggots in the eyes of the state, right?
