part of the reason transfeminism involves a good chunk of discussion about transmisogyny from trans men and other TME trans people is because transfemininity is an intersectional identity class. we are oppressed not only for being trans, but for being women

the fact we are oppressed by cis people only paints the transphobia part of the picture. the fact that we are also oppressed by other trans people paints in the misogyny part of the picture

considering how it's uncontroversial and obvious to call our oppression by cis people transphobia, we really don't need to spend a lot of time proving that part out. the misogyny part though? people are actively, adamantly against understanding that part

[mousidy]

and... yeah. this means discussing the rampant misogyny we face in our own communities

[mousidy]

"but trans men face misogyny too!" yes! but, when observing power dynamics between trans men and trans women, it tends to be pretty clear who holds the cards and who is vulnerable. though they face misogyny too, we face misogyny on steroids--the steroids coming in part from the gigantic transmisogynistic propaganda machine we all live in. all the fearmongering rhetoric about "men in women's spaces" targets and stigmatizes trans women specifically

farcille isn't "toxic yuri." nothing remotely toxic about them, they both treat each other with a great deal of care and affection and respect. just because marcille is willing to do forbidden necromancy and arguably cannibalism for her wife doesn't make her toxic that's just what you do for a woman with broad shoulders

marjane satrapi is jr rowling for pretentious art lovers. why are you refusing to acknowledge that french woman used the clout she got (also why do you think she got propped up in the first place if not for aligning with western interests to destroy anti imperialist government in iran) to spread imperialist zionist propaganda and lend her support to islamophobic policies in france just because you liked her works (which is also reactionary propaganda at closer inspection) as a teen? grow tf up and stop supporting imperialist running dogs posing as intellectuals.

[strawberry-crocodile]

people love transfemininity as long as it's a performance put on for them and not a person who is living their life for themselves

[strawberry-crocodile]

people cannot get enough of the aesthetics of transfeminity so long as they dont have to interact with and respect the actual tranny

[tpwrtrmnky]

Basically my primary frustration with a lot of mainstream left-ish framings of trans issues is the treatment of trans rights as a concession they're making to be nice, rather than a principled stance grounded in a real, material understanding of the world.

It leads to this attitude of being vaguely embarrassed to support trans people, which crumbles when Right Wing Dipshit Pundit #33145 starts going on about "harsh truths" that a competent advocate could call out for being incorrect.

[tpwrtrmnky]

"You are transphobic" as an argument by itself is a lot weaker than "You are demonstrably, unambiguously wrong about this issue. You have reached an incorrect conclusion despite having all the information needed to be correct, because you'd rather be transphobic than right."

[daughter-of-sapph0]

kinda funny how trans women get painted as mean angry bitches for asking people politely not to call themselves a transmisogynistic fetish porn category slur as their identity, while the tmes calling themselves femboys get to paint themselves as victims

[daughter-of-sapph0]

"actually you're oppressing me by saying i can't call myself the thing people search on pornhub to jerk off to you"

[daughter-of-sapph0]

no one needs to make the equivalent of butch for feminine men because men and women are not dichotomies and gay men don't need an equal and opposite thing for every lesbian thing that exists, and you certainly don't need to appropriate transmisogynistic slurs because some dyke hasn't put in the effort to create a word for you.

you're right, you are getting blocked for this. you didn't need to type this out but you still did anyway, for whatever reason. my blog is not a confessional, you dont need to tell me your sins, especially when you say how you intend to make no effort to change or do better. you're just bragging about your use of slurs

go choke on plastic

Historically, one of the most reliable sources of widespread banditry was rulers ramping up military recruitment for major wars, then cutting their soldiers loose afterwards without pay, leaving a bunch of heavily armed men with military experience floating around broke and homeless.

Knowing this, whenever someone jokingly refers to raccoons as "trash bandits", I get a vivid mental image of, like, a raccoon succession crisis leading to a raccoon civil war, the aftermath of which forced the former soldiers of the losing side (who are all raccoons) to take up the life of the raccoon outlaw.

how many seasons does the 9/11 sitcom have?

none. the pilot never landed well :/

[alyssadotmp3]

im about to kill someone or myself i just saw someone on the dnd subreddit say "rules are for gameplay, not narrative" (which in all fairness is not a take i should be surprised by) but like THE GAMEPLAY CREATES THE FUCKING NARRATIVE THATS HOW RPGS WORK

writing a movie about a violent man in a dress who kills women out of a desire to become one and then insisting over and over that it can't be transphobic (despite it's cultural influence to the contrary) because he isn't a real tranny is. well it's beyond parody isn't it.

[mars-hollow]

reallyyy not a fan of the habit people have of deflecting guilt for making abhorrent and obvious caricatures of trans women in media by insisting that it was actually super progressive because he wasn't a real transsexual!! you see the same shit with rhps. just a complete failure to take some accountability and say "yeah that was insensitive we shouldn't have depicted a real group of people that way and it has brought them material harm as a result."

[emrakulsstrongestkitty]

It's so frustrating when people pull the "but he isn't a trans woman," like yes, the transmisogynistic caricature will not be called a woman by the source material, please consider why that is

[lunaticchimaera]

"The Hateful Image of You is a community building thing for us though." "We felt so safe in The Hateful Image of You it let us explore ourselves." "The Hateful Image of You inspired women to join imperialist government organizations." "Honestly I dont even care how you feel about The Hateful Image of You it doesn't matter that nobody acknowledges the affect it has on You." "I have personally helped facilitate dozens of productions of The Hateful Image of You its not amazing its just a movie."

Silence of the Lambs, Ace Ventura, RHPS, Sleepaway Camp, Longlegs, Psycho, the list goes on and on and on and The Hateful Image of You lives on in the hearts of everyone around us and TME people expect us to just, not care? Is it so hard to empathize with a trans woman for one minute that they can't even conceive of having The Hateful Image of You depicting yourself in a warped portrait with blood smeared on it and how it makes us feel? Especially that its a beloved community gathering thing to take part in The Hateful Image of You? That The Hateful Image of You unites everyone else in enjoying it? That the sharing of it perpetuates its renewal over and over again?

Nah, I'mma be a loud pissed off tranny about it. The least I can do to fight what kills so many of us before we can even be ourselves is shit on every one of these shitty fucking things yall make. Fuckin Hell.

[ironmyrmidon]

This really is the LGBT "community" in a nutshell. They build this community out of our bones and then get mad at us for not liking it.

[pocketmaomao]

all i'm hearing is that TME ppl are incapable of putting in the bare minimum effort that warner brothers did.

like its sooo not hard to say "Yeah this was fucked up lets not glorify this it happened lets learn from it snd never do it again." but noooo the mfer named sock over there HAS to give epstein island wizard lady money for the new hbo series merch because muh childhood.

[frankendykes-monster]

People defending the quality of the trans reputation in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) by stating its from the 70's as if that's an excuse. Yeah like trans women in/from that decade can be thrown to the wolves I guess.

[frankendykes-monster]

But also like Female Trouble (1974) came out the year prior. Like.

[apocryphon-of-eden]

remember when a trans guy shot up a school and for about a week every major news outlet in the usa was misgendering him to make it seem like he was a trans woman and then when people figured out he wasn’t every right wing media outlet dropped the story like it was a hot coal. utterly baffling nation we live in

[mousidy]

why are you always bitching about cis women having boundaries and not cis men who are the ones who are statistically far more likely to murder you? god forbid women don't spend all their emotional labor on centering you 24/7. go after the transphobic politicians or something, those are the actual fascists who want you dead.

those "boundaries" get us murdered lol. trans women who can't access women's shelters or other forms of housing because of cis women's "boundaries" are left on the streets to be assaulted and murdered

if you want trans women out of women's spaces, and the rationale for those spaces existing is to protect from violence, then you are saying that trans women don't deserve protection from the same violence despite being at an even higher risk of it than you

[mousidy]

terfs have gotten crazy good at framing discrimination through the language of consent. systemic discrimination is not "boundaries"

[mousidy]

the emotional labor of being asked not to discriminate against one of the most vulnerable groups of women

People who appropriate Wokespeak to be racist dickheads are worse than outspoken Nazis to me
