transfem: I think transmascs are human beings and not rabid-

some dipshit that claims to be a transfeminist: I have fantasized about a transmasc committing atrocities against you

> A post about women’s rights circulates

> Someone reblogs and says “and trans women too”

>people cheer them on

> another person reblogs with “and trans men too”

> people clown on them for even mentioning the stinky stupid men. How DARE a man (who has a reproductive system and is viewed by society as a mentally ill woman) enter himself into the conversation!

trans mens rights are also rooted in womens rights and people do not understand what i mean by that and get really weird about it. until issues like reproductive healthcare, domestic abuse, rape, child marriage/forced pregnancy, corrective rape, ect. are no longer considered womens rights, then trans mens rights will also be rooted in womens rights, because we are affected by all that and more and typically have a way more complicated relationship with these things than women do on account of being trans men

Every year some fuckass right winger from Europe will be like Well How Do Those Blacks And Browns Work In This Kind Of Heat Bootstrap Yourself Back To Work and in response fuckass first world libs and lefties will be like Noooooo The Context Is Different and meanwhile what is actually happening is that people here are dying of heat and dying of a collapsing monsoon but it's not being recorded because our fuckass governments don't actually care for anything except their moneyed rich friends and think that not keeping stats of this kind of thing will mean everything is okay and no one will care so the whole thing is rly very much an entire European summer's worth of experiencing this nearly everytime I get online:

People love to use trans men's manhood to punish them and devalue their opinions and personhood. Damn, if only... if only there was a word to describe this phenomenon

[tboy-cock]

kinda weird to me how transfem trfs will say that trans men shouldn't be a position of authority on "womens issues" (usually shit like misogyny, reproductive oppression, ect) because we're not women and that trans men who talk about the individual struggles with misogyny/"womens issues" are claiming to be "more women/of an authority on womens issues than trans women", and then turn around and position themselves as an authority on trans mens issues because they clearly know better about being a trans man even though they have never lived as trans men, but have lived to an extent as cis men, which means that they know more about manhood and trans manhood than trans men....... which could mean nothing of course

“As a biological female your role in society is to birth children and be obedient to men. You HAVE to have kids and you HAVE to turn your brain off and let your father or husband control you— oh you don’t want to? We will violently FORCE you— oh you identify as a man? Ok!!!! Live your life kinggg!!! Ignore everything I just said!!”

^^how some people think it works?????

if trans male privilege existed:

-all reproductive services (abortion, hysterectomy, gynecology, ect) would be more easily accessible to trans men than cis women, instead of the opposite being true

-testosterone would be easier to access for trans men. we would not need letters of support every time we get a new doctor no matter how long we've fucking been on t

-gender affirming surgeries for masculinzation (top surgery, bottom surgery, body sculpting/fms, ect) would be more accessible to trans men, would all be covered by insurance, and wouldnt need several letters of support

-waitlists for gender affirming procedures wouldnt be nearly as long for trans men as it is now

-name and gender changes for trans men would be universally available and accessible

-trans men would not be at higher risk of medical discrimination than cis women

-trans men wouldnt have sexual assault rates of almost/over 50%

-missing/murdered trans men wouldnt be misgendered/deadnamed and filed under femicide

-historical trans men wouldnt be considered gnc women, and more gnc women would be considered trans men than the inverse

-trans men wouldnt have their specific statistics under blanketly "transgender people" and would have more individual statistics talking about their struggles

-trans men wouldnt be isolated from the lgbtq communities that they were in previously after they come out as trans, especially if theyre also straight

-trans men wouldnt be violently threatened with sexual assault (despite being one of the most at-risk groups for sexual violence) and other forms of abuse for talking about being abused by other trans people

-trans men wouldnt be expected/coerced/forced into deferring to every other gender group when it comes to our own oppression/struggles/material needs

-transphobia against trans men specifically (both people who are "exclusively" transphobic/misogynistic/transandrophobic to trans men or equal opportunity transphobes) wouldnt be as normalized as it is

itd be fucking nice wouldnt it

ladies… has anyone ever told you it’s okay to be feminine 🩷 i’m sure no one has ever ever ever reinforced this deeply held secret, that’s it’s okay for you to be feminine. 🩷 i know the world totally tries to tell you that you have to be manly and masculine and grow your body hair and eat as much as you want and get strong and stand up for yourself and make waves and take up space and show your bare face and show your anger. but it’s okay to do the exact opposite actually. 🩷 it’s okay to shrink yourself down to the exact same mold every other woman is expected to conform to. 🩷 did you know that it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 did you know it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 did you know it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 has anyone ever told you it’s okay to be feminine. 🩷 will you be feminine. 🩷 will you be feminine. 🩷 will you be feminine. 🩷 will you just be feminine already. 🩷🩷🩷

probably the worst attitude tumblr unintentionally cultivates is "the world out there is completely dangerous for you and no one can possibly understand you, so you should isolate yourself from it and avoid interacting with it as much as possible"

Racism against Indians is actually a little insane when you consider how widespread it is even among liberals and leftists . Even people who consider themselves to be progressive will laugh at call center or tech support jokes. All scammers are inherently indian. It’s okay to laugh at jokes making fun of Indians for their feelings towards animals or how they drive. India is inherently backwards and dirty so it’s okay to make jokes about getting food poisoning from even looking at indian food

Tumblr users discussing rap music is the new Plato's Allegory of the Cave

[aleshakills]

They see the shadow of rap music cast on the wall by their conservative parents and confuse it for the real thing

yeah i read theory (posts from tumblr users that are wrong about everything)

[twisted0lli3]

This is a really good example of how TERFs disguise their attacks against trans men, and why it’s so harmful to consider TERF attitudes towards trans mascs as infantilizing.

The post is made to appear sympathetic to the man they are mocking. “Look at this poor ‘girl’ and how he’s mutilated himself” sounds sympathetic, especially to trans people who are subjected to aggressive, direct attacks on their identities and humanity.

But this performative sympathy is just a front so that TERFs can enjoy being cruel without appearing as the aggressor. This allows the audience to still enjoy the pleasure of engaging in cruelty while dressing it up as pity.

This plays into the broader tactic TERFs deploy with trans mascs.

Rarely ever do they confront us directly the way they do with trans women.

In fact, because they see us as women, their primary objective is to make sure we are never ever heard at all, so that they can maintain the narrative that none of us would ever transition of our own free will.

Instead, they poison the well. They talk to our “handlers”. Our parents, our doctors and psychiatrists, our husbands, boyfriends, our pastors.

The veneer of sympathy is not to appeal to trans men. It is to appeal to those they see as having ownership over us. When trans men fight back against this, the malice comes out in full force.

Trans men do not get attacked less. The attacks are simply not recognized as such, because even in protesting oppression, we place it on a hierarchy.

i can send more papers and articles about gender inequality if youd like :)

interesting reads. i do not know the reputations and biases of these researchers to give a proper thought toward it all, but i dont think id be particularly shocked if cis men being abused went deeply underreported and disregarded. we've all seen how rape culture treats cis male victims, and that's some of the most clear-cut abuse.
