Friend. This predates Trump's presidency by generations. This has been done to us for at least the last half century. Through the presidencies of JFK, Johnson, Carter, Clinton, and yes even Obama and Biden. Violent transmisogyny is a bipartisan issue.

Anyone claiming this is a binary is being disingenuous or willfully ignorant, which is honestly the same thing.

it's important to make that distinction, lest we make people's quality of life worse in the name of "protecting" them.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk

And early 40s.

i just don't get why there's so much trans infighting, are we not all being equally targeted? come on guys, we're all faggots in the eyes of the state. why don't we just kiss and then work together to vote orange man out of office?

Fun fact for anyone who does this, being a misogynistic man isn't funny just because you're trans or you think the idea of treating trans women like women is inherently funny, how funny do you think she finds your "ironic" misogyny when you punch down on the women that don't have cis privilege over you

Anyone claiming this is a binary is being disingenuous or willfully ignorant, which is honestly the same thing.

This isn't an identity. Its a shorthand way of referring to who is subjected to transmisogyny and who is not. It's not something we are imposing on people, we're describing how this transmisogynistic society is imposing or nit imposing transmisogyny on people. It doesn't care if you don't identify with fem or masc, it only cares about what you were compulsarily assigned at birth. People who aren't transitioning away from being compulsorily assigned "male" at birth are simply not subject to transmisogyny by this society. If they are trans, they're still subjected to transphobia, but not transmisogyny.

TMA enbies are never allowed to divorce themselves from their gender assignment in societies eyes, they're never allowed to "just" be enbies, take it from someone who presented as agender for many years. The only people who took that in good faith were one (1) TME and I was dating her. Everyone else treated me like an intruder while actively bending over backwards to accommodate TME enbies.

I didn't learn about transmisogyny from Whipping Girl, I learned about it before I knew its name. I learned about it by being transmisogynized.

A huge chunk of the opposition to tme/tma language comes from this. They seem to be functionally incapable of seeing langauge like this and not assuming it's meant to be an identity label. "Why are you trying to put me in a box! Why are you assigning me a label against my will!" That's why they claim it's "reinventing the gender binary." They can't see, or refuse to see, that we're just giving a name to something that the patriarchy is doing to us and not to them so that we can fight it.

So even if it's "technically okay" people who refuse to acknowledge transfem characters are and will for the foreseeable future just be attempting trans erasure in media. like people COME THE FUCK ON "it's not that important, it's just a character" LIKE FUCK IT ISN'T That is the first actually REAL depiction of a trans woman I have *ever* seen the first time a transfem was allowed to be messy and complicated on screen and you people are desperate to degender her, to make her anything but a woman just like most people do in real life. If you can't even acknowledge fictional transfems, I do not trust you'll respect real ones

the mod has now turned off asks completely and is posting screenshots of old reddit posts about sexually abusive transfems with the usernames cropped out. how exactly does this further the "mission" of helping survivors tell their stories and heal? what kind of "peer support" project is made up of screenshots that the organizer dug through reddit to find? is it possible that the goal of this project is not actually peer support or helping survivors? 🤔

what do we think? will a project dedicated to documenting exclusively abuse by transfems help change the problem that makes these survivors hesitant to come forward?

But it's okay guys, they put a sign saying "don't harass the tranny! Just let me collect all the reasons that she is unforgivable in one place :)"

For god's sake the same people that deride Gooseworx on every social media site will sometimes straight up have Max "hotdiggitydemon" "Steven Jewniverse" "Steven N***averse" "Sans from Undertale calls Papyrus the nword" "Still actively racist" Gilardy profile pics with zero self reflection. And I'm supposed to take anything ever said about "holding trans women accountable " seriously? Gimme a break
