Chilling on the weekend like usual

Oh but "everyone is subjected to transmisogyny" (according to tMRA chuds, not my roommate), right?

This is the point of TME/TMA. This is why non-transfeminine people aren't subjected to transmisogyny.

the original tweet, the "which seat on the plane would you take" meme format and the characters are, some explicit trans women, characters who present as women and hate their maleness but are said to be boys in the text, transmisogynistic jokes, and venti genshin impact, who is like small and has braids. Mostly all depictions or abstractions of transfemininity . this obviously made to appeal to the transmisogynistic fetishization that makes most of these characters are popular as they are. this is the most discussed element of the transmisogyny present in common attitudes towards "femboys."

the quote tweet is a trans man saying these characters are the type of man he wants to be. this is the common transmasculine version of the above. transfemininity becomes a type of aspirational manhood to people who do this. its frustratingly less disussed (in part because its less common) but more pernicious as a result. they wrap their transmisogyny into their identity, so criticism of that transmisogyny is taken as "invalidation" of their identity.

But there are other qrts and replies, and in them you can find a third pattern. less often than the first, but more than the second, you will find people expressing a desire to enact violence on the depictions and abstractions of transfemininity. and not sexual violence, like some of the fantasies you might find the first crowd doing. its a lot of "i would kill all of them." some of that can be chalked up to regular perfmorative disgust of someone ashamed of their attraction to transfemininity, but you can even find people who style themselves as progressives doing it. the association of these characters with fetishization has allowed people who do not fetishize trans women but still hate trans women to disguise that hate as being against the fetishization.

but in my experience 95% of my hallucinations are getting spooked by very clearly hearing someone knocking on my door or calling my name from another room or hearing footsteps walking behind me which are "just" my brain recreating the horror of an abusive childhood

(not trying to put you on blast specifically, you're just a good example to jump off of)

media and pop culture hypes up psychosis a lot as The Worst That Can Happen out of sanism, so even when you try and filter that cultural bias out you still assume it's based on something

when, no, psychosis is actually very simple: it's just hyperactive pattern matching. it's your brain's signal-to-noise ratio being off balance, it's seeing images in random static. it's not always this special uniquely big thing, it's in fact quite mundane a lot of the time.

no one is immune to psychosis, it's not purely the realm of the insane. anyone is one bad night of sleep or one bad case of food poisoning or one bad fever away from being just like me on my worst days.

transfem-centered blog run by a transfem gets co-opted by tmes who feel left out, get told off for the glaringly obvious transmisogyny in the co-opted version, and immediately spiral into even more full blown aggressive transmisogyny, twerfs and tmras rally to defense, copycat and parody accounts pop up everywhere, and suddenly the transfem's project is no longer about her project, the primary association is only the transmisogynistic tme bullshit.

this article is so comically fucked lmao
