I'm so pissed off that the movement which villainizes and infantilizes trans men and erases nonbinary and intersex people is being called "transfeminism"

a very specific thing but i just HATE how some people treat transmascs who dare to headcanon a male character as a trans guy. because they believe that oh those trans men and transmascs ONLY do that to fetishize the character or somehow misunderstand the story and not because they just. happen to see themselves in them? RELATE to them? its FICTION. even if you dont agree with their headcanons there is no reason to act like a dipshit. these are some examples i found:

no one ever talks about how isolating being transmasc is. you're not "one of the girls and the gays" because you're not a girl and not seen as a guy enough to be gay. you kill the mood when you bring up how men Can get pregnant in real life when people make mpreg jokes. your old friends talk about how "nasty" men are and how they want to "kill all men". your queer acquaintance tells you that fujoshis are just perverts trying to fetishise gay men. cishetallo guys talk over you. cisgay guys talk over you. you go home and your parents toss out your masculine attires for you "daring to be a man".

It is SO weird how hard people try to find a "progressive" way of telling trans women "you're going to be attracted to men when you start hormones". Putting aside how this is just a repackaging of basic lesbophobia and ignoring how it's just factually false, temporarily forgetting how it is a blatant lie, it also goes to show that you don't have any idea what problems transfems actually have.

I gotta address this misconception now that I've seen it twice. Y'ALL -

I dip into a lot of spaces on this site. non black fandomites I don't ever see you all discuss or celebrate the black characters in the media you partake in. You don't reblog fanart or gifsets of said black characters. You actively don't follow and ignore the black fans in the space you occupy. When the topic of racism gets discussed in these fandoms there's a lot of denial and throwing stones and hiding hands. On queer visibility days I don't ever see y'all reblogging selfies of black trans women, black trans men, black lesbians black gays or black bisexuals. I very rarely see y'all circulating mutual aid posts of black users. People in NSFW arenas, I don't ever see you reblog content of black swers. For whatever reason y'all keep the black people in your likes. It requires posts to be made by white and non black people discussing racism and social justice to actually get some traction when black tumblr users will make the same talking points but get a fraction of the notes.
