that's what the dysphoria was all along, huh? the exact kind of bitter self-hatred that drives one to hate other trans people. tsk tsk, if only she'd love herself, then she would top me

I told her to stop, that the things she was saying to me were hurtful. I tried to explain to her that dysphoria isn't dysmorphia, and this isn't about beauty standarda at all. But she refused to listen. She straight up told me that she wouldn't stop telling me these things and trying to convince me to stop getting hair removal "for [my] own good." So I had to block her on everything and go no contact with her.

These things are not coincidental.

jax if she had her amazing digital transition

The problem is that you are regarding transfeminists, and trans women in general, as if we are the ones who created this situation instead of the transmisogynists who actually created it and are enforcing it. We're just describing it, giving it a name so that we can fight it. If you hate it so much, why are you attacking the women who are trying to end it?

My point here is just that tme is almost useless as a category - the only uses I see for it are in rhetorical symmetry with tma ("tmas are generally given far less leeway to make professional mistakes than tmes") whereas tma as a term is generally very useful to describe a set of experiences, disadvantages, oppressions, etc. without mentioning tmes at all ("tmas are often subjected to a kafkaesque process when attempting to get hormones" (note how this does not and can not say anything about all tmes recieving swift access to hormones because they don't necessarily)). The only things you can even correctly say about tmes are things that can (and I would argue should) be rephrased purely in terms of the tma term.

Your brain is there, you understand the truth, but your inherent subconscious transmisogyny isn't letting you accept it.

If tme is useful as a category, make a statement using it. Say something useful or helpful about tmes that is not actually just about tmas (my "statements" in the second paragraph were both about tmas, not tmes. The first statement was directly intended to show the only purpose of tme that I can think of, for rhetorical symmetry. The statement makes perfect sense (even if it is worse grammatically) without the last 2 words, hence the tme is useless except for rhetorics).

Your point is what is useless.

Again, my argument is an argument from ignorance; you can disprove it via example of using tme productively, please do so.

I don't think you are arguing in good faith, none of your thetoric or behavior has indicated that you are. You are here to "educate the dumb trannies."

The reactions toward transfem Jax from episode 5 to 8 and then from 8 to the leaked finale, then it being released in theaters, then on YouTube show a subtle, but noticeable tick where people became more hostile toward an increasingly obvious transfem character.

Wether they switched suddenly after they saw the finale or switch slowly after episode 5 came out, the reason and the effect is the same: transmisogyny.

me when i'm normal about rape survivors saying that the popular useless slogan of the decade, "kill all rapists", does absolutely nothing to protect anybody 👍

all women Can perform femininity to receive rewards and recognition of our womanhood, this does not mean women Should do this. do not walk up to a dyke with a buzzcut and say "you should have long hair"

And that's what really hurts.

Hell, TERF as a term was coined specifically to refer to the supporters and attendees of the Michivan Wombyn's Festival. Which gladly welcomed trans men in with open arms but turned away trans women because as the name suggests they're idea of a "Real Woman" is an AFAB, regardless of gender identity. Its transmisogynistic as fuck.
