*look inside*

-allowed cis men to submit

-transmasc abuse victims not allowed to talk about non transfem abusers

-used fake anti trans suicide statistics invented by nazis

-no longer allows trans men to talk at all

that is to say, the stereotyping of trans women as predators makes it harder for survivors to come forward. a number of them discuss wanting their abuser to be understood as an individual who harmed them, not as a representative of their entire demographic

but please, if you can spare some time or energy to, keep the pressure on. do not let this "project" get anywhere off the ground

even more importantly, please listen to the transfem survivors in your life. please do what you can to support transfem survivors. transfem voices project will return, but please remember that it was never about me. anyone can support transfem survivors of sexual abuse

TMA = trans women, transfeminine nonbinary people.

Both categories include women and nonbinary people

Both categories include people with penises, and people with vaginas, and people with ambiguous genitals.

Both categories include intersex people.

TME includes cis and trans men.

Enbies who are TMA literally cannot attend the same events that enbies who are TME can, even if their presentation is functionally identical. They are banned in big bold letters on adverts, and if they're discovered, they get thrown out and called a rapist as the door slams shut behind them.

1) Does not provide space for transmascs to talk about their experience if the abuser isn't a trans woman

2) Provides space for people who are not transmascs as long as the abuser is a trans woman

3) However does not provide space for trans women even if the abuser is another trans woman

Did I get this right?

you're trying so hard to play word games to make this look contradictory, but you're just ignoring the core of what i've said.

and then to turn off anonymous submissions when you get flak, filtering out so many people who might have had stories to submit, only to respond with the weakest arguments to so many extremely good, well-thought out explanations of why this is an incredibly dangerous idea, just platforming extremely good arguments for why your thing shouldn't exist and offering half-baked slop as counterarguments, until the blog ends up being 95% responding to backlash

Yes! She has tried to eat Shamura, Kallamar and Narinder haven’t had to deal with it

this has been a very hard decision to make, but I need to pause transfem voices project

when I started it three months ago I genuinely did not expect it to reach the size it has. I've been told by a lot of people who do this kind of work professionally that it's very taxing and that, with the volume I've been taking on, I need to make sure to take care of myself. I figured I would go until something gave, and something giving is where I'm at now

I don't regret a second of it, because it's clear now more than ever that this is work that needs to be done, and I love every one of my transfem sisters. it's vitally important that we have spaces and resources like this to heal from our sexual trauma, and there are dangerously few of those in the world. that's why it's been so hard to decide to take a break, and I want to truly apologize that this resource will spend some time closed off

I'm going to be exploring options for making this work more sustainable when I open the project back up. I've been discussing the possibility with some transfeminist friends of bringing on additional people to help process submissions, and moving the project to a sideblog to facilitate this. that's one possibility, but I'll explore other possibilities as well during my break

I apologize, but I'd like to request that submissions are not made during this break. I still have a few submissions to process, so those will go up soon, but those will be the last submissions until the project is opened again

here are some stats: the project started on April 9th, 2026, and has run for 94 days. it has had 330 submissions, for an average of 3.5 submissions per day

finally, I want to make a call to action. sexual abuse resources for transfems need to exist much more than they do now. they need to exist far beyond the scope of me or this one project. there's nothing particularly special about me that has allowed me to do this. I realized there was a need for it and I started doing it. you can do this too. if you're reading this and you have the capacity in any way, please consider looking into what you can do for transfem survivors of sexual abuse. there are so many of us, and rarely ever do we get any of the support we need

i'm not sure if this is something you'd have a personal connection to, but maybe some people following you would? basically, i'm a trans man and a preschool teacher. i work at a very leftist reggio school with a lot of lgb teachers and admin, but the community is (predictably) predominantly tme. i'm one of three transmascs and there is one (1) tma genderqueer teacher.

transmisogyny is an enormous blindspot in our community in ways that are glaringly obvious to them and i, but not acknowledged by anyone else. anyone in childcare who's not a cis woman is constantly held to a higher level of scrutiny when it comes to what's considered "appropriate." their stories are personal so i won't share them here, but our one tma teacher is periodically criticized in language that implies inappropriate conduct, but basically just amounts to "i don't like them." i call this out when i see it and we are both dismissed as overreacting to "harmless opinions."

the amount of trans women I've met who have learned what i do and replied something to the tune of "i wish i could do that too" is heartbreaking. that grief is so real. and these are patient, gentle, emotionally intelligent women who would make for exceptional teachers and caregivers. i wish i could tell them that it's 100% safe. that they won't be harassed by parents or held to a quadruple standard for appropriate conduct. that they'd be supported and given the grace it takes to learn and grow as teachers. but i don't have confidence in my administrative team that they would competently defend their staff against transmisogyny from families or fellow teachers.

i want so badly for the trans girls at our school to have just One woman in their community that they can look at and think "Oh! so i can have a beautiful future, actually. this is an option that's possible" in the same way the tboys have men to look up to - this was a not-insignificant reason why i went into this field. i want so badly for this field to be kind to trans women who love and respect children and want to help them learn and grow. i don't know what else to do other than to call attention to these biases over and over again among the adults, to defend my tma colleague (whom i have NEVER seen act inappropriately as long as i've worked around them), and to consistently verbally affirm the children in their self-expression and the fact that only they can decide who they are. i don't know how else to get my colleagues interested in proactively putting supports in place to make our school a safe place for transfem people to work. they all seem to think that since the director is a (cis) butch lesbian and we have a handful of trans(masc) staff, there's no more work to be done and that trans women would simply show up for interviews if they were interested in the field. when i've brought the topic up with admin, they invited me to speak at an optional staff meeting on the broader topic of gender justice in ece (which there IS a lot to say about, but waters down the conversation at hand). i bring up transmisogyny whenever given the opportunity, but it's always just met with a lot of vacant nods and empty agreements.

all that's to say, we NEED trans women in childcare, but no one is interested in proactively making it a safe profession for trans women to enter. i'm putting this out there in case you or anyone else has thoughts, especially trans women who work/aspire to work in ece. sorry for the long message. much love ❤️
