so bearing in mind that t4t was invented by, to be about, transfems, how would you have transmascs who connect with that concept go forward from here? would you want us to come up with our own thing or just try to handle using t4t with more like, awareness and respect and stuff? if youd like to pitch in
genuine question and you definitely dont have to answer, if you answer harshly i wont take it personally haha
listen, there's no reason to give up using it. that cat is out of the bag and it's not really possible to make the space exclusive again, and personally i don't think it would be better that way. all i want and what the transfems i've also seen talk about this seem to want is for the transmascs and straight trans women who use t4t to remember its history and not feel the need to step up and correct or shut down conversations that are being had by transfem 4 transfem lesbians, we do still have our own little community even if it only used to be called t4t and we should remain an autonomous party in conversations about both t4t and our own community. basically don't butt in like that last anon did.
and thank you for asking that's absolutely the right question to ask when you find out your terms are taken from a marginalized group you don't belong to, the answer will vary depending on the situation but the question is always good
"get a job" "unemployed behaviour" okay but like. girl your ableism
One thing about me is I will never abide by anyone who calls themselves "detrans" with any level of pride
really interestingly damaging theme in my relationships with cisgender women and tme trans people (b4 i got wise) was a monopolisation on suffering. it was implied where it was not outright stated along an ideological line that might as well have been womanhood (from which u r excluded) is suffering. this was completely inseparable, by the way, from the inordinate amount of unpaid care work i was expected to perform to show due sensitivity as a boyfriend partner. care work that has by exhausting me since seriously compromised my health. carework that, when ceased, repeatedly collapsed relationships with it.

A recent post breached containment so I think it's time for some rent lowering:
Trans children should have the right to undergo the correct puberty at the same time as their peers.
Puberty blockers were only ever a compromise and should not be seen as the end goal of trans advocacy.
'you wouldn't pirate a-' i would steal anything from any company. anything in the world. i dont even want it i just hate you
I am making this post for Dina and Ahmed Alanqar's family in Gaza @anqarfamily. They have four young children: Zeina, Eileen, Yamen, and their littlest daughter Sawsan, born just this past June. They have been multiply displaced at this point, with their homes and workplaces destroyed by Zionist bombs, and have been facing the difficulties of a scarcity and/or lack of work, schools, healthcare, food, water, and medicine, along with the everpresent threat of disease, ever since.
This fundraiser's objective is to provide them with sufficient funds so that when the opportunity arrives, they will be able to leave Gaza. Please, if you are able, donate! And regardless of your situation, make sure to share this post! I would like to see the notes on this eclipse the number of votes on the poll, unlike an unfortunately high quantity of other posts like this one, and for Dina and Ahmed to receive as many donations as possible!
This is a vetted fundraiser, listed as #264 on this speadsheet of verified fundraisers created by @/nabulsi and @/el-shab-hussein.
They are close to their goal, let's help them reach it!
