i think the 'transfeminist' space on here is.. unprincipled, for lack of a better word. you will advocate against harassment, against alienation, for the assuming of good faith, etc., but really only for girls who you see as likeable, for girls who are agreeable. you will discuss an element of transmisogyny while being blind to or perpetuating the same pattern in your own spaces.

transfeminism should not be empty words. you are a fucking hypocrite if you consider yourself a part of this movement yet utilize transmisogyny against other transfems.

there is no transfeminism without intersectionality, without principle, without solidarity. humble yourselves. understand your positionality in all of this and where you hold power. stop being a hypocrite and educate yourselves. the amount of racism & ableism left unchecked in these spaces is sickening. put in the fucking work.

The woman who introduced me to transfeminism and who I still hold up many of the transfeminist ideals she taught me, threw me under the bus because when I confronted racism and ableism in our group of transfeminists, she chose white solidarity over commitment to transfeminism.

And shit like this isn’t just happening, it’s COMMON because so many are so desperate for power in a world that takes it from us that they refuse to willingly hold back from using the tools of white supremacy, fascism, empire, against other transfeminists the moment it becomes convenient enough or they hate someone enough.

You have to fucking sit there and actually interrogate your actions and choices as you make them. Yes. This is uncomfortable. Yes, we’re all mentally ill and traumatized. Sometimes we’ll fuck up and lash out or intentionally make choices to harm others, but instead of running from what we have actually done, we MUST be able to take the L and address it when it is brought to us in good faith.
