The part that's missing from a lot of tumblr-centric discourse on transmisogyny is really that stuff like "medical transition is conformist" didn't come from here, it's all runoffs from weird cis people in academia imagining a version of transness to get mad at.

The archetypal "transandrobro" is literally just saying shit transmisogynists in queer theory have been saying for decades but dressing it up in more fandom-digestible language. It's not new. They're not innovating.

For the purpose of this discussion can you define what you mean by heavy-hitters?

People whose outreach influences bigger, more mainstream audiences, people who've done political work with material impact in their country, that kind of thing. The ones who do more than just post popular takes on one or two websites.

there’s a friday ass vibe about this wednesday boys keep your wits about you

i'd rather every single person on earth have free, reliable, easily accessible, and judgment free access to hrt, even if they regret taking it later, than have one single trans person kill themselves because they can't access or afford or are prevented from taking hrt!!!! i'll forcefem a thousands cismen before i let one trans girl die!!!!

ok note to self i gotta leave the house regularly so that i dont feel like im slowly transforming into an evil fucking shadow clone of myself

So as it turns out your sense of self doesnt exist in a vacuum. You gotta actually use it and bounce it off of other people like echolocation to see where you are as a person and shit. So if you dont regularly interact with other people the echoes just get weaker and weaker and before you know it your personality is a blurry fucked up fog clone of its former self. which it sucks because this makes it really hard to interact with people again but yknow

I've been a woman so long it's not even special anymore. my gender isn't a performance people just see a woman in pants and a bomber jacket. I don't think about whether I pass or not, I never wear makeup, it's been years since i had bottom surgery. I can't remember the last time my gender came up in a therapy appointment. people don't even ask me about being trans anymore they just ask if I'm emo

One of my funniest interactions with medical personnel was when I went for an ADHD assessment around 3 years on HRT, and the specialist said "Gender incongruence? So you want to be a man?"

I love when people ask "how did you learn this skill?" I just started, there's no secret. that's it. a vast majority of the time the only thing holding you back is your trepidation to start.

I get Emmy. I mean, I would also crash out if I lost the woman giving me orders too.
