the transandrophobia Wikipedia page is not being deleted (good work!) but I wanted to share the exchange that went to down.
I saw these screenshots in the notes ~2m after it was decided:
I just took these of the project page:

I fucking WISH we lived in a âphallophobicâ society. penises are literally graffitied on every building desk and locker in the country, men openly readjust their dick and balls in public, men manspread into womenâs spaces and claim itâs because they need space for their balls, openly sport erections in public when creeping in women, men have easy and quick access to vasectomies meanwhile women have a very hard time getting comparable treatments, menâs bulges are treated as a cheeky joke (the olympic high jump guy, male ballet dancers) while if a girls vulva is showing through her lulu leggings itâs like a super taboo and sexualized thing, the list can go on. what world are you fucking living in????
This isn't spurred by current events I'm reading about today but it does seem applicable. I was thinking about a review I read one time calling Invisible Women "TERFy" last night and was thinking that for a lot of people what makes something "TERFy" even despite no anti-trans sentiment is when it discusses misogyny and the reader starts making connections and realizing themselves about how misogyny is sex-based oppression not gender-based, and without the author giving some input to solve this cognitive stress and "TERFy" thoughts they are having (no matter how bullshit that input might be) this makes the material a "TERFy" cognitohazard.
a lot of transfems' posting about gendered socialisation makes it clear that they think it's something that they opt into/choose to participate in/have to enjoy to be affected by rather than something that happens to people from the time they are born. people start saying shit like "wow what a little flirt!" about baby boys before they've even developed object permanence. people have gendered expectations for babies based on their cries. mothers overestimate their infant sons' ability to crawl and underestimate their daughters' ability. these attitudes affect how people raise their children. these attitudes affect how children develop their attitudes towards themselves and others.
peers bullying you for your sensitivity, parents blowing up at you for liking Girl Things, boys saying you aren't really a boy because you're a pussy are things that happen to boys because they were born and raised male. being the world's sweetest most gentle and sensitive effeminate little child who never hurt a fly or did a misogyny doesn't make the male socialisation not exist. the socialisation one receives isn't an "I consent!" thing it's the way people treat you differently based on your gender. transitioning later in life doesn't magically stop wider society from being homophobic, transphobic & misogynistic and enforcing rigid expectations based upon this on anyone in society.
absolutely insane that you can talk about how parents will underfeed their "daughters" and give them clothes that are harder to move in and restrict their freedom in a way they don't for their "sons" and everyone will nod along until you bring up transmascs, at which point we've all got to pretend that actually the things that happen to you when youre a child don't have ramifications down the line and transmascs should just get over it. man up, even.
the saddest thing about the puppygirl article to me is knowing how many ftms are stuck in the same situations but convince themselves that it's actually subversive to do all the domestic and emotional labor since they're men and push any doubts deep down lest they think evil terf thoughts
Yeah. And they actually have been trying to talk about this for years (like I remember more than a decade ago now that this was happening and probably has been happening since men discovered this loophole where they can identify their way out of any responsibility) but the moment they start to gain some ground with words like "transandrophobia", they are called terfs, Nazis, MRAs, and beaten into silence.
Correct, male socialization is something that happens *to* you, you don't get to choose it. Just like no one chose to be born in the United States, or be born straight or white or rich. You were born into a system that wants you to act in ways that affirm the system, and you must understand it lest you perpetuate it.
If you made this post about any other oppression system on Tumblr it would be shot dead by leftists on sight.
"White privilege is such an evil rhetoric. Yeah I guess being born white and being taught I'm better than Black people at the age of 5 is my fault and I'm evil for it. Yeah I guess having a white childhood I never asked for means I'm a danger and I should perpetually apologize for it." -> immediately recognizable as bullshit racists say
"Straight privilege is such an evil rhetoric. Yeah I guess being straight is my fault and I'm evil for it. Yeah I guess having a straight childhood I never asked for means I'm a danger and I should perpetually apologize for it." -> immediately recognizable as bullshit homophobes say
But stuff like this gets posted and acquires 2k likes.
Male socialization is not even specifically attacking MTFs but they have successfully guilted everyone into being scared to believe in it.
Weaponized incompetence wears a collar.
Stunningly odd you literally needed to lie about trans masc designed inc language considering your transition claims. It's one of the literally largest issues trans mascs end up fighting bigots over.
Literally one of the largest in community talking issues.
stunningly odd how with your one shot on this earth, youâve decided to waste an entire day of your life commenting shit, sending me asks, and reblogging my posts. gotta love the free publicity though, thank you for that.
stunningly odd how youâve made the bizarre claim that a complete stranger is lying about an aspect of her life with 0 evidence other than uhhâŚ.TERF bad, trans good i guess?? sorry, but youâre wrong lol. had i not ever socially transitioned and had my horrifically awful experience at a âgender affirming careâ clinic i doubt i would have ever made this account. i wouldnât have ever read anything about radical feminism, and i would probably still be a raging TRA. as i said in my pinned post, my entire experience with that sorry excuse for âhealth careâ is what peaked me lmao.
your âproofâ that iâm lying because i said i dislike language such as: âuterus haversâ and whatnot is⌠extremely stupid. even when i identified as a trans man i still rolled my eyes whenever people talked like that. i know itâs probably shockingly odd to you that people arenât monoliths and not everyone in a specific demographic thinks the exact same way.
you spend your entire days white-knighting for trans people but the way you talk about them makes me seriously doubt youâve stepped foot in any irl trans space. if you did youâd understand how laughably incorrect your statement that the use such inclusive language is âliterally one of the largest issues trans mascs fight bigots overâ is. the only instance i can remember actually caring about the use of that kind of language during that time in my life was when a friend of mine who was also a trans guy complained about how he hated cis people talking like that to try to be woke and he felt it was just making the trans community look stupid. i agreed with him then and i agree with him now.
if you truly care so much about trans people donate to a charity or some shit instead of making a fool out of yourself fighting with random people on the internet. or donât. i have to admit your obsessive interactions with my account today gave me a good laugh so again, thank you.
I hate when they talk for us like this. The only reason this dude thinks every trans masc thinks this is because any dissenting trans masc gets booted from trans communities, effectively censoring and isolating us, even when it's about OUR OWN DAMN BODIES.
Our speech is policed so heavily you've lost the ability to think for yourself and it's downright pathetic how you agree and play into this cultlike mentality, surrendering your humanity to groupthink like that's actually going to make trans peoples' lives better, as if "majority rules" has EVER been in the best interest of the oppressed. It's not. It's literally making things worse. Because only people with a certain level of privelege benefit from these idiotic "solutions", so many of us get left behind and disenfranchised by our own community. And then you turn around and blame us for the things cis men do when you notice just how many trans mascs are jumping ship. All because you priveleged fucks want things YOUR WAY so badly, you'd call us self-hating bigots for it. It's just pathetic. You have no idea how much serious, long term damage going along with this causes other trans people and the community itself because anyone who dissents is just a "TERF". But replace "TERF" with "feminazi" and your arguments are no different from the cis men-- who have always oppressed us-- argue that misogyny is their divine right.
No shit we become radfems. You guys just witch hunt us out of fear, as if that isn't the same shit our oppressors have always done to us, without even knowing what core tenets of radical feminism even ARE. You consider Trump as much of a radical feminist as Dworkin, and then act like we're all predators when WE have safety concerns, even when we're just as trans as you are. It's DARVO, it's disgusting, and you should be ashamed of yourself and your community. If you give a shit about other trans people, you would at least consider what other trans people have to say, even if they're in the minority and you disagree!
Even in my TRA days I was NEVER ok with dehumanizing language like "uterus havers". I'm still trans, still taking T whether you like it or not, and I still think it's a dumb load of horseshit. Get over it. We are not a monolith and not agreeing with dehumanizing misogynistic bullshit doesn't take my or anyone else's identity away. It's always "people are what they say they are" until you people come across someone you don't agree with, so long as you can paint it as bigotry. Then you're "not actually trans" or "a fake sockpuppet". It's thought ceasing and hypocritical. Are you really so weak you can't even conceptualize actual real trans people who are fed up with this shit? Are you truly that cruel, selfish, and heartless? Because that's what your actions are putting down.

The reaction to Tara Knightâs latest essay is something to behold. Anyone thatâs read my previous posts knows I absolutely detest Knight and for very good reasons, still I can understand the position he was in with âpuppy girlâ and that what was done to him was rape. Multiple times.
The reaction of all those TIMs taking it super personally with some saying that this could drive âgirls to suicideâ. Knight gives examples of weaponized incompetence in hetero relationships and says those men have a sister, when really itâs just those same men, except now they take estrogen and instead of diverting all the labor onto a female partner, they do it to the few people that want to date them, such as some bi women or other transbians.
Knight having been on the receiving end of it describes the problem but is in complete denial that this has anything to do with male socialization. However he doesnât need to say that because so many of MTFs have been the person he spoke of, hundreds of them are all pissed at him accusing him of calling them for what they are, men that weaponize their incompetence. One response said that Knight might as well have told the puppy girl to just kill himself.
Itâs actually very interesting seeing the response to the criticism being the exact behavior being criticized. These men donât simply call themselves women, they call themselves girls. Itâs always âthis will make a girl kill herselfâ, the hypothetical MTF reading the article and feeling guilt, shame, and self hatred, will have the word âgirlâ used to refer to him. Similar to what âpuppy girlâ was described doing, making himself small, soft, and childlike, to avoid any sort of accountability, the people raging against Knight do the exact same thing and the exact same methods, talking about how calling out their weaponized incompetence makes them dysphoric and suicidal. I think Knight realizes that this is an issue bigger than just his shitty ex, (and he also admitted to having been on the other end of it), but mistakes it for simply being a general human problem. And not something that males disproportionally do, which is why he pissed of hundreds of other âtransfeministsâ who have convinced themselves that Marxism is when you donât work and have your partner do all the labor for you and give you sex, and cruelty is being asked to do the dishes. The way male entitlement and MRAism has taken on a progressive and leftist look.
Since âtransfeministsâ have decided they wanted separatism and are in community with mostly each other, itâs no surprise that shit like this happens, thereâs no female person there to force to be the bangmaid and therapist, but they need someone to fill that role for them.
It also must be defended, itâs not weaponized incompetence, that âgirlâ is just disabled! Bringing this up is comparing trans women to men! You enabled that girl! Sheâs homeless because of you. You tricked her into being reliant on you. Sheâs just a disabled puppy trans girl.
The response to Knight sends out the message that if you tell people you were coerced into sex, therefore raped, itâs actually your fault for not setting boundaries and for letting the trans woman do that. They donât care he was raped. Their first priority is to defend PG because they are PG to whatever extent.
And thatâs where I honestly feel bad for some of them. Your rape is your fault for not having boundaries, itâs your fault you do all the labor because you let them become reliant on you. Thereâs solidarity, reserved for abusers only who are the real victims here. You made your abuser homeless, she mightâve killed herself, and itâs because of you.
Thatâs the message. I donât like Knight but heâs not the only person receiving this message, itâs every female person silenced by an MTF partner because criticism makes them dysphoric and is cruel, itâs the MTFs within trans feminism that are more patient, lenient, compassionate, and have it used against them. At the core, someone wrote an article describing how they were exploited and raped, multiple times, and the âtrans feministâ community by majority responded with victim blaming and hostility and insults, hundreds of them.
But also the lack of awareness is astounding, because read this one, go back and read Knightâs article I harshly criticized months ago, âWhy everyone loves to hurt a tranâ, and youâll find the exact same mindset that leads to this as the end result where victims arenât believed and you cannot call out your abuser or remove them from your community, otherwise youâre âsocially murderingâ him, and this now being weaponized against Knight himself.
Weaponized incompetence wears a collar
Heres an archived version of Tara's article before he edited it to be less transmisogynistic or whatever.
Looks like the article is getting scrubbed for some women. Here's another backup link:
It's fascinating/sad tbh, to watch how the Timothy mob turns on itself. They have constructed a culture of people using and abusing eachother. The only time they get mad is when the mirror is held up to them, and they are forced to put down their toys for a moment and remember what they really are. Groups of men never care when women are hurt by them. I do not feel bad for Tara. He has helped spearhead this dangerous incel offshoot. He collaborated with Andrea Dworkin's husband to puppet her body to claim that she was pro transfeminism all along. It's all so despicable and insane, it's truly something only a moid could invent.
this is such a stupid fucking way to say that your partner is a shitty partner or is manipulative or even emotionally abusive. the way in which hes framing it not just in communist framing, but feminist language as well, as if the "transwomen" are being exploited because theyre "transwomen" no. you have an abusive partner and they are abusing you, you are all male in this relationship. none of the domestic or emotional labor you have been doing is due to a power differential between your sexes or gender. it just goes to show how little these men actually understand feminism becuase they think they can just apply these concepts anywhere as long as people call themselves "women"
men can both abuse and be abused in relationships, and in this relationship you are a man being abused by another man. if abuse is even the right word. hes just a shitty partner. just fucking break up with someone if they can't be a fucking adult. its the man children that are attracted to movements like this.
I love watching the timothies self cannibalize and implode. This puppygirl Tara Knight article is funny as fuck and I'm so glad it's making all the other puppygirls freak out bc it's reflecting on their actions. I also think it is funny as fuck when Tims have to live together and they don't have a woman to enslave so they force each other to be their bangmaids and then when one of them freaks out and tries to talk about it the other tims pile on them and tear them down. How's that for sisterhood?
(From the abstract to Carlo Sariegoâs paper âTransfeminist pregnancy: reproductive speculation, genre, and desireâ)
Iâm sorry but this is absolutely fucking bonkers we have exactly one mention of trans men who actually can get pregnant and are deeply affected by the Dobbs decision and then instead of actually talking about us the author makes the batshit claim that pregnancy is not a biological process but actually a âgenre of experienceâ this is erasure plain and simple and itâs so goddamn offensive. What is this âbecomingâ that trans women experience and trans men donât? Why is it acceptable to advocate for a complete change in the definition of pregnancy in order to make it an amorphous feminine experience rather than a nuetral biological process? Pregnancy is already and un gendered term jfc
dear trans men who are being denied abortion access, just imagine yourself as spiritually not (capable of being) pregnant! because it's for girls. this metaphor will improve your material conditions!
It's easy to say pregnancy is a "genre" when you're not the one bleeding and risking your life to have a baby.
It's a fascinating approach, agreeing with conservatives that having a uterus makes someone a brood mare, just denying what those "people with uteruses" are called. Obfuscating oppression rather than addressing it.
Thereâs no need to create âshared groundâ with trans women in regard to pregnancy. They will never be pregnant and are not at risk from this law or those like it. Women without uteruses, on the other hand, are still at risk for being denied healthcare along the lines of the law.
