i want to emphasize this, anyone transfem or otherwise tma will get less respect in lgbt spaces and this goes even more so if they dont present as femininely, or god forbid if presenting masculine. i experienced this firsthand. there are points in my transition where i was still boymoding, where i was trying to be feminine and various stages of doing this better as i got used to it, and times when i did not want to shave or dress fem or anything so i didnt. there was a time i identified as nonbinary and then started identifying as a woman. throughout all of this, i was treated worse than my tme peers. this includes my transmasc friends who still presented femininely, who although by wider society would be observed as women, in these lgbt spaces (even those trans focused) they would have their identity respected. i cannot say the same for me.

😈 You are not bound by the Hays code.

I went to a trans meetup yesterday where, not only was I made to reveal and say aloud my deadname by a (cis queer) bartender who ID'd me (while knowing I was there for the trans event), but also on three separate occasions different trans men referred to groups of trans women I was in as "guys".

HUH?

Cannot stand the trend of censoring any and all words that describe concepts that might make you go :( especially when the censoring is done in that quarter-assed way that's just 'did a lil scribble over a vowel so you know that I know this word describes a no-no."
