whenever i hear about wether transandrophobia is real or not (it is) or any of that sort of discourse i think about the time i was at a local queer support group and we were talking about past experiences in our community and other queer people we may have known and weren’t around anymore. i mentioned a trans boy i used to know back when i lived in iraq, who was honor killed due to his parents finding out about him being a man. i remember some of the others in the group were shocked because they either didn’t know that honor killings were still a thing or, in some cases, some of them were shocked the honor killing would happen to a trans man. they thought that, since masculinity is “so praised” in the middle east (it is but not in the way they think), then parents wouldn’t kill their trans son.
Damn. That's horrible and I'm sorry that's something that happened to you. It just goes to show how just the "being a man" part of being a trans man doesn't make you exempt from bigotry, discrimination and oppression, especially if you're bipoc.
Gee, I’d like to never have to mention having been AFAB again. If only it weren’t painfully relevant to how laws are applied to me and how the past has shaped me and how transphobes perceive me and
People will really act like talia bhatt just has haters because she's a brown trans woman and not that she's an asshole who covers up her caste status, lashes out at random trans women who she thinks are slighting her, comes up with racist theories about how all genders from other cultures are just misgendered binary trans women with no input from queer people from those cultures, and lied about the existence of a cult and the harm of its survivors. It's just because miss radical feminism: trans flavor is all these minority identities.
Also help raise money to fight for trans people, and get some rad games in the process!
You know I was looking again at how TRFs see trans men as just people waiting to detransition and become terfs, and how you and so many others I know CANNOT get them to acknowledge that cis crossdressers exist, and it just struck me-
They think cis male crossdressers are either trans women who still have half the eggshell on, or men making fun of trans women-
They think nonbinary people AFAB are just ~trenders~, and nonbinary people AMAB are just women with one foot still in the closet-
They call forcemasc a malicious knockoff of forcefem and even get territorial about striped socks and shark plushies-
They cannot wrap their heads around the idea that misgendering people is still bad when they do it-
Oh god. They don't think transmascs are actually trans. They think we're cis women who just have such a powerful hateboner for trans women that we're willing to change our entire lives and alter our bodies just to make fun of them. They see anyone but a trans woman saying "don't misgender me" as being exactly the same as "cool and I identify as an attack helicopter" or "stop deadnaming me I'm not Ricky I'm Bobo the Chimp". Of course they don't think we experience any meaningful transphobia, they think we're part of the same fucking conspiracy as any garden variety transphobe. Jesus fucking christ on a cracker. Okay.
And honestly? Emotionally, I get it. I've got a lot of fucked up brain shit going on and the world sure does love to sell willful paranoia as "protection" so I too am always super afraid of how people may or may not be judging me and I've caught myself emotionally spiraling into some REALLY stupid places too - but my sympathy runs very dry, very fast, when they're out here saying that clearly the best and most liberating thing for them would be for me to get hatecrimed more because that emotional crisis is a 100% accurate reflection of reality actually.
Even so, fuck, doesn't it get fucking exhausting to live that way? It seems so fucking miserable.
Just. Fuck. I'm so tired. And I'm especially tired of how popular this view or at least "diet" versions of it have gotten. Sis I am just. I am just sitting here! Cut the truscum shit YOU seem at least as miserable for it as you're trying to make me!!
Yeah, that sums it up really well.
Just saw a thumbnail where a YouTuber I really respect shouted out Trans/Rad/Fem (very enthusiastically) and after months of you pointing out how the whole ideology being based in radical feminism & after seeing how Thalia Blatt views other members of the trans community —
Ralph Wiggum voice: I’m in danger!
And I will give the video a fair shake when I have the emotional capacity & time for it but fuck, what a thing to wake up to. Like, cool, we’re breaching containment to the big leagues.
I'm really exhausted with someone as transmisogynistic as her regularly being held up as an icon of transfeminism but thankfully she's incapable of controlling herself so with any luck her next inevitable violent blow up at other trans women will finally get people to drop her.
To be one hundred percent clear, I'm not being glib, Talia Bhatt has a record of telling trans women to kill themselves, calling them slurs, and holding grudges over them living their lives in ways she disapproves of that erupt into ragefully attacking them in front of her very large audience, and this is literally a benefit we should actually truly be thankful for because it increases the chances the popularity of her and her transphobic ideas will not stick. She has a demonstrable lack of impulse control that makes it more difficult for her to keep the mask of Based Transfeminist on, which is fantastic news for everyone who'd prefer a virulent transmisogynist not be directing transfeminism.
This is now my discourse sideblog. Unless it's extremely, uncompromisingly vital that all 411 of my followers see it, I will redirect all discourse here.

idk maybe the reason some people find genderfuckery so cringy/abhorrent in "tme"s or "theyfab"s or whatever term they're using today to reference transmascs is because it makes it harder to sniff out who is and who isnt a "cuntboy". heaven forbid they accidentally appreciate something a "zippertit"s wrote or painted, could you imagine how embarrassing it would be if they were found to be agreeing with a "transtrender"? the "tucutes" are not divulging their statuses as lesser transes, "tra"s dont experience real oppression like they do, there is something divine in their femininity that the "tif"s dont understand, etc, etc, etc.
its the same shit, different slurs, every time
Wait what happened??? Who detected shame in trfs?? What tf is going down on bluesky?
The T/R/F made a post saying straight women should be banned from BDSM because they don't understand it
another trans woman and self-identified baeddel called it weird
The T/R/F went completely fucking ballistic and started harassing her and telling her and her friends to [redacted]
now other examples of The T/R/F saying straight trans women should [redacted] while also calling them "straggots" are being posted
I love the Marxist-Leninist trend of calling anyone they don't like either a fascist or a liberal
i find this image rlly funny bc its so blatantly tells on itself like whoever made it thinks that marginalised men cannot be misogynists and has this thought so naturalised in their mind they typed out all these different kinds of men and never considered that they might also be misogynists
