queen calls off her plan as soon as ralsei explains the roaring to her, and that’s because her motivation was never something that stemmed from cruelty. she was misguided in her approach, yes, but it was nonetheless a plan born out of a desire for nobody to ever have to suffer again after witnessing that suffering firsthand.

A mistake can be corrected

A mistake can be apologized for

To further emphasize this point, the difference is that it *isn't* a mistake when that hate gets directed at a trans woman.

You also need to understand that transmisogyny is more than just isolated instances of interpersonal bigotry. It's systemic.

I was reading a post earlier that brought up Imane Khelif and how she was, the poster claimed, "at the very least, *affected* by transmisogyny"

But... that isn't accurate.

I've seen plenty of other trans women by now make the obvious point that Imane Khelif would have been treated worse and been proffered less support if she had actually been a trans woman. That's an assessment that I generally agree with, but with one crucial caveat.

Because the thing is that if Imane Khelif *were* actually a trans woman, she wouldn't have been allowed to compete in the 2024 olympics in the first place.

Roughly 5300 female athletes competed in the 2024 summer olympics and a grand total of 0 of them were trans women. *That* is transmisogyny.

Imane Khelif is an incredible athlete who has been subjected to a cruel onslaught of misogynoir and intersexism, and while both of those oppressions have certain features in common with transmisogyny, they are not the same thing.

Understanding these distinctions is important if you want to effectively stand in solidarity with trans women to combat transmisogyny (and misogynoir and intersexism).

the two types of transfem culture are "co-opted by tmes" and "harmful to the greater trans community". all transfem culture is placed into these two categories.

blahaj? co-opted. referring to each other by familial roles? harmful to the community. the term egg? co-opted. age regression? harmful to the community.

Hello TME. In front of you is a post in which a transfem laments the fact that she and her sisters cannot have anything, not even a cute plushie shark, which she will list alongside several other, more serious things.

You must reply without belittling said transfems pain and if you d- Oh that was quick. Bravo! Now into the acid with you.

I wonder why this person only mentioned the sharks and none of the more serious things?

Then again, it probably wouldn't sound quite as high, mighty and above it all to say:

"god I'm so sorry that someone co-opted an intra community slur whilst you were trying to reclaim it, that must be so difficult."

Or:

"god I'm so sorry people who claim to be your brothers siblings and allies frequently repress your civil rights movement, that must be so hard for you."

Huh.

hi :3 im a multiply disabled 20 y/o trans girl. im moderate autistic and chronically suicidal- due to conditions out of my control. i had to drop out of high school, and in my country that makes jobs way less available- im lucky enough to work fulltime but it pays very little.

im going to get my adult leavers cert, but that requires time taken off work i cant really afford to take :/

theres a huge variety of things that would make life less painful rn- disability supports, furniture more suited to my chronic pain, etc

i know its a lot to ask, but i really need help making things less Actively Hostile to me- hopefully this is the last time i have to ask for help! things are looking up once i can afford to take the adult diploma!

i need about 1500 USD to make things actually livable. this will go towards things like medical care and accommodations and helping with things while i get the adult matric.
