why are you as a man not injecting estrogen

you may *think* you’re doing fine, trundling along thru life still wearing “Men’s” clothes cos you think they “fit better” ..but this is a lie, many “Women’s” clothes will actually fit you just as well *and* actually improve how you feel abt yourself.. truly Nothing can beat the feeling of finally wearing the clothes that actually Suit You

it occurred to me that the bizarre and nonsensical idea that trans women transition to escape accountability, as if such a gambit could ever work, serves to offer a convenient explanation for this pattern that allows us to continue hating the tranny guilt-free even after we notice the pattern. the reason the transition and the accusation arrive around the same time is because her entire transition is a disingenuous gambit to escape the accusation! now, not only do we have permission to misgender her, we can take her transition itself as further proof of her guilt!

Heated Rivalry also features a trans actress. In one scene, in one episode, the one where Rose is getting her makeup done on set. The actress’s name is Miss Niki Nikita, her character is not given a name. She is given one line, with only one word: “Same.” Trying to track down the name of this actress requires you to dig through the guts of Google search results, and still the main thing that comes up is a reddit post where someone credits her. (Googling “heated rivalry trans woman” still just returns results on Harrison Browne.)

Like, 6/10 new haters I've encounter in the past two-ish months used to adore Jax.

You can search the Jax tag on their blog and they were making thirst posts about her.

They were selfshipping with her.

They were trying to justify every misdeed and woobify her.

They were demonizing Ragatha and Gangle for standing up to her.

They were taking their Jax plushies on dates to restaurants, and movies, and fairs, and etc.

They were exploring their fetishes and kinks using her character.

They unironically wanted the "I can fix him shirt."

They were unironically using Pomni and Ragatha to self-insert into the show to be with her.

They were making OCs who's sole purpose for existing was to date her.

They were writing fics about marrying her.

But the revelation that she was in fact a woman the whole time broke their brains.

Now they're back tracking hard and trying to hide the transphobia behind performative "lib speak" (for lack of a better term) so they don't lose their ally points.

They want to be seen as an ally because it makes them feel good, but they're not willing to put in any of the actual work, including the self-work of addressing why being attracted to a trans woman makes them so uncomfortable.

They just want credit while being given a pass to be transphobic. Which they're not getting, and a lot of them are having temper tantrums about it.

Much has happened in the past few months: we’ve received a response to the FOIL (Freedom of Information Law) request to New York City, and are currently studying it to understand the ramifications.

For those unaware, Transfeminist Action is preparing legal efforts to ensure Tumblr is free of discriminatory moderation. Trans and Black women are disproportionately banned or marked as “mature” for posts as simple as selfies or asking for mutual aid, and this is patently discriminatory. We’ve decided to expand our committee to ensure we have the continuing capacity to pursue the action we want.

Our committee runs on the consent of its members, but whether you want to join the below roles or not, all are welcome! All we ask is for the time and willingness to help out. We do have formal meetings, but 100% attendance isn’t a hard requirement. We’re currently looking for:

💬 Co-head of Public Communications

Our public communication channels are Tumblr and Bluesky. Outreach helps us build momentum, especially for volunteers and evidence.

Presently we do bi-monthly public updates. As co-head you may also run Q&As or whatever you think helps!

As the co-heads on this team are all TME, they have asked for nominees for this role to be TMA.

How does application work?
