you all don’t even try to hide your transmisogyny
This is an ancient tactic to handwave feminism in all forms since the beginning of time. "I wont take this feminism stuff seriously until a man tells me how it is." What makes this exceptionally transmysoginistic is that trans women are expected to engage with this criticism like its actually about inclusivity, and not just boring ass regular laughed-out-of-the-room misogyny.
actually it would be horrifying if a gender-obsessed cult was making women afraid to use the bathroom and forcing young girls into testosterone puberty. but i guess if those women and girls are trans it just. doesn't count
His wife has filled his house with chintz. To keep it real I fuck him on the floor.
This is how people talk about HRT.
Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).
I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.
out of the tags with you
so called feminists: "actually women are naturally inferior at everything, including quiz game shows, beauty pageants, chess, and video games. we need a society that is segregated so that anyone who would ever have to potential to win against a woman is eliminated. this is actually far better than organizing sports into weight classes or different athletic/skill level based categories that ignore sex, like what wrestling and video/board game tournaments already do. I cannot accept the reality that men and women are the same species. this is actually how we truly protect women. by calling them weak pathetic losers who could never win against even the worst opponent, and preventing them from even playing at all."
actually conversion I had with one of these nerds:
me: "so you think men are better at literally everything, even things that do not require any physical ability whatsoever?"
terf: "yes! those should still be segregated by sex! males should not be playing against women ever. it's an unfair advantage"
me: "so my brother has an unfair advantage over me when playing fucking monopoly?"
terf: "yes. males are statistically better and managing finances, while women are irresponsible and lenient with spending money."
hey guys. I think the people who are literally unironicly saying "women are bad at money. this means they suck at board games" aren't actually feminists
No joke, that was the rethoric the Francoist regime in Spain used to justify women being legally underage regardless of age and unable to open bank accounts without their husbands or fathers permission. That law was effective until 1975.
True love is drooling at the thought of your partner getting railed and used and creamed and kissed and adored by other women...

they gotta put all their eggs in the "male socialization" basket cause some trans women don't even have the body parts they fearmonger about but they still want to control them
like at this point in the like... 10+ years trans women have been a go-to wedge issue, everyone knows how chromosomes don't necessarily determine phenotype, everyone knows bottom surgery exists, everyone knows intersex people exist, everyone knows some people don't even produce gametes at all, everyone knows we don't stop calling cis women women after a hysterectomy or sterilization
the well of bioessentialist arguments is starting to run dry cause everyone knows the facts that disprove them. so they've had to greatly exaggerate how socialization works and how immutable it is cause what the hell else are they gonna do, lol
i think there is a phenomenon where sometimes a trans person will go “hmm. i am treated as a man when it is convenient for others, and a woman when it is convenient for others, and often as a freakish third thing excluded from the advantages of both. surely, because of the gender binary, the Other Type of trans person experiences the opposite: they reap the benefits of maleness and femaleness at once.” like babes no they can do it twice
This applies to a bunch of other subgroups of the queer community too. Asexuals are made to feel like freaks for not being sexual enough by the same society that makes everyone else feel like freaks for being too sexual. Lesbians feel pressured to be bi even while bi women feel like they'd be more accepted if they were lesbian. Butches, femmes, and wlw who are neither are all made to feel like they're doing it wrong. PLUS unique facets of shittiness for every shade of non binary PLUS different attitudes towards mlm and wlw PLUS divisions within mlm spaces etc etc etc. And these frictions and differing needs and experiences are absolutely worth discussing, but every time we decide the problem is just that Those Other Queers have it easy we are making the actual problem worse.
Hilariously, it also happens within the asexual community as a function of even smaller identity microcosms; I grew up watching waves of this crash back and forth on AVEN back in the day.
Babes. They can always do it twice.
talking of surplus labor one time my father and I calculated how much money he moved at his warehouse job with one single shipment and it was several times his monthly salary. the technical base of capitalism is so advanced that a warehouse peon can generate the value necessary to sustain themselves for an entire month in mere hours, having the rest consitute surplus labor that can be reinvented to economic development exclusively. the monumental amount of value generated by a mature capitalist economy is large enough to sustain its entire population multiple times over, but at the same time, the parasitism of the small class that owns all of this surplus labor is monumental enough on its own that those workers are barely paid enough to take care of their own health and their working hours cannot be reduced a couple of hours without sending shocks through the entire capital chain. never has the degree of separation between producer and production been so large, never has the chasm between the classes been so ample
of course he didn't produce the commodities being moved, his job was to put them into various boxes and shipments. this warehouse moved textiles, as part of a large international textile company. this one single shipment that could have fed him for multiple months came from an unnamed place in Bangladesh. Even greater is the dispossession and alienation suffered by the proletariat of the parasatized nations, paid for cents on the hundredth euro. Were those textile workers paid fairly, the parasitism of the capital owners wouldn't be sustainable at its current magnitude, but the products would still be sold and the materials would still be paid and the supply would still be more than enough. and the price or production wouldn't even rise that much or at all.
fuckin succinct
Hey, hey, look me in the eyes when I tell you this okay? The whole "do trans women or trans men have it worse?" debate going on right now is the most obvious CIA bullshit on earth cause honestly we've both got it pretty shitty and fighting each other isn't helping anyone
Trans men can have discussions about the unique transphobia they face and spaces to find community with each other without being accused of speaking over trans women. Trans women can have discussions about the unique transphobia they face and spaces to find community with each other without being accused of leaving out trans men. Trans women don't have "male privilege" and never will, even if they were hypermasculine in the closet they are not going to internalize it the same way as a cis man. Trans men don't hold the same societal status as cis men unless they're deep stealth and never found out. Though there will always be exceptions, trans men on average have an easier time passing as cis due to testosterone's "adding" effects, and if we do so we have the ability to use it for good. Trans women have a harder time going stealth due to hypervisibility and estrogen's subtler effects, and even when they do, they still have to deal with misogyny. Radfems love to fetishize trans men as "safe men who I still think are women underneath" and show disgust towards anyone they think is too close to manhood for their liking. Trans men are repeatedly erased and categorized as butches or masculine women after their deaths, and while in recent years we have been able to begin stepping up, we have historically been swept under the rug. Trans women were historically lumped in with drag queens and crossdressers, whether they ever began their journeys as one or not - and seen again in recent years with the craze around femboys. In almost every murder or hate crime of a trans man, rape is involved due to the bodies we inhabit. Nearly everyone can clock top surgery scars. Third sexing affects all of us in different degrees and ways. Malgendering affects all of us in different degrees and ways. Both of our puberties can warp our bodies in ways we can never be rid of. Trans womens' visibility can be a blessing but also a massive, deadly curse - more public figures to look up to, more practiced surgeries, and rich historical culture, but more victims of hate crimes, mockery in pop culture, and public transphobic scrutiny than any other demographic in the LGBT community.
Trans men and womens' struggles are not going to be perfect mirrors of each other. I can't cover every way we differ and every way we overlap. And intersectionality is always, ALWAYS at play. We need to have each other's backs more than ever right now.
If youre a closeted person somewhere out there thinking "I want to transition but it would be less progressive/unique/countercultural for me to be that gender instead of this one" please know that you are a real person not a character in a narrative and cant live your life based on what is good media representation. You are real you can only be yourself and theres no moral weight to any identity over another
Liberal transphobes enjoy positioning trans identities as regressive compared to cis queerness or like non-transitioning transness or anything else they can leverage to make transphobia look progressive and I think its easy to absorb that message subconciously. But in real life we just are what we are and no ranking of validity can change the fact that you have an identity that is NOT chosen and is just your unchangeable truth. Not only should you not have to live a life dictated by what is most countercultural to identify as or whatever but also: being trans is extremely countercultural and feminist and leftist to begin with and theyre only trying to convince you otherwise bc theyre bigots
"Why cant you be a feminine man society hates feminine men 🥺" and "all the butch lesbians are becoming men we need u 🥺" = stay in the closet for the noble purpose of being an abstract representation point in my new york times opinion column. You wont actually be a gnc cis person youll be a closeted trans person who uses the wrong words but I need you to do that because i hate you
Same exact playbook, down to the "but it was based on a lie."
literally the same people doing it as well
I cannot overstate how much the modern conversion therapy movement is about 50 people who all have names and addresses and who simply will. not. fuck. off.
I maintain that the best summation of my feminist beliefs are that men and women are not fundamentally different. There are a few quantifiable differences if you average out every woman and every man, but they are not qualitative. And most of them are socially constructed, and would be fixed if we started treating men and women the same. Neither is inherently smarter, neither is inherently kinder, neither is inherently more stoic or stronger or angrier or softer. Everyone is obsessed with the differences between women and men, with finding them and creating them and distancing themselves from the "other half". It's fucked up
