Do not call a trans man "female" or "male" unless he gives you permission to do such, and do not declare that trans men as a whole are "female" or "male".

Do not call a trans woman "male" or "female" unless she gives you permission to do such, and do not declare that trans women as a whole are "male" or "female".

Any movement that has “people forcibly classed as female since birth oppress people who weren’t on the basis of their having being classed as female” as a loadbering belief is an antifeminist movement.

Any movement that has “people with natal vulvas, uteri, and ovaries do not experience any unique types of violence, medical abuse, or marginalization” as a loadbering belief is an antifeminist movement.

she'll lend words of support to someone who admitted to molesting someone as a kid (her comment on mousidy's post where a self-admitted pedophile talked abt their story. Which is also odd on mousidy's part to publish tbh considering how she talks about transfem victims a lot) and defends her friend who had accusations against her (from other trans women!) but when it comes to transfem victims of SA/CSA/rape? its crickets. Hell she doesnt even acknowledge the fact that (some) transfems do get harmed/uncomfortable/pushed back into the closet with the egg cracking thing and that the 'aggressively insist someone is a trans woman' thing isnt something that is beneficial for everybody. Though ig that tracks with the forcefem thing

its just. Depressing. I cant imagine how transfem SA/CSA/rape survivors feel about seeing someone like this get put on a pedestal and described as some transfem martyr.

while she doesnt have any active accusations against her a bunch of people follow her and spread her posts and so a lot of younger trans woman (esp trans woc bc isff is a massive racist who has shown herself unwilling to learn or accept criticism of her racist takes) are gonna buy into her shit (especially the stuff that makes them feel better like lashing out at tme people, and i worry those people will then start to get frog boiled into her rape apology and pro pedo posts) and if they end up being friends with her will be one degree separate from one of isff's pedophile friends. which is just. terrifying to me.

this hypothetical trans woman also might buy into her bullshit about rape allegations being false and not a big deal and believe that MAP trans people arent threats, which is dangerous if one of these trans girls ends up in isff's circle, which includes at least one pedophile (by her own admission). isff has also defended a rapist who has targeted trans women simply bc that rapist is a trans woman. and im just like.

maybe isff isnt directly dangerous to any minors but the fact that anyone who befriends her will be one degree removed from a pedophile and possibly buying into her bullshit about pedophiles not being dangerous... thats so fucking scary.

like. im sorry but how is letting other people know about isff's bullshit "strange" when she harbors pedophiles and accused rapists. like. how is it morally right to stand by and say nothing.

it’s not a tumblr issue. it’s not a bluesky issue. it’s not a twitter issue. its not an instagram issue. it’s not a tiktok issue. it’s not a fucking reddit issue. it is on every goddamn site i have looked for community. it is on fucking youtube for christ’s sake. it’s in the literature staples. it’s in the academia. it’s in the in-person community. story after story and story responded to with “this isn’t a wide spread issue it’s just happening in [insert whichever specific place that person was].”

i repeat for what feels like the hundredth time though i think it’s only the fifth: if you do not think an axis of oppression exists then you will without a doubt be perpetuating it. 

most transfeminists i have seen over the last three years of observation do not think they can be meaningfully bigoted towards trans men and mascs. they do not think they can meaningfully hurt us. they do not think they need to check their biases. so their biases are going unchecked, and my god is the harm and bigotry abundant.

Access to gender-affirming care (GAC) varied across gender identity when comparing trans men to AFAB nonbinary individuals (Table 2.5). For example, both groups highly desired top surgery; however, trans men were significantly more likely to have already undergone the procedure (32%) compared to AFAB nonbinary individuals (10%). Both groups also showed interest in hysterectomies, though access again differed, as 10% of trans men had undergone a hysterectomy, while only 2% of AFAB nonbinary individuals had. Overall, this indicates that while transgender men and AFAB nonbinary individuals often seek similar forms of care, nonbinary individuals experience a larger gap between desiring a procedure and receiving it, possibly due to systemic barriers or variations in how medical providers approach nonbinary transition-related care.

When comparing across gender, some similarities exist between transgender women and AMAB nonbinary individuals in their desires for certain procedures (Table 2.7). For instance, both groups wanted laser hair removal at high prevalences (54% of trans women and 58% of AMAB nonbinary individuals). However, transgender women were far more likely to have undergone the procedure (40%) compared to AMAB nonbinary individuals (15%), suggesting a greater gap between desire and access. In contrast, desires for surgical procedures diverge between trans women and AMAB nonbinary respondents. Trans women wanted vaginoplasty at much higher prevalences than AMAB nonbinary individuals (48% vs. 17%), and a substantially larger percentage of trans women already had the procedure (11% vs. 1%). These findings highlight that gender-affirming needs are not uniform across gender identity.

^ also from the 2022 USTS. & from the 2015 USTS:

Seventy-eight percent (78%) of respondents wanted to receive hormone therapy at some point in their life, but only 49% of respondents have ever received it. Ninety-two percent (92%) of those who have ever received hormone therapy were currently still receiving it, representing 44% of all respondents. A large majority of transgender men and women (95%) have wanted hormone therapy, compared to 49% of non-binary respondents. Transgender men and women were about five times more likely to have ever had hormone therapy (71%) than non-binary respondents (13%)

Ok so we're just doing full mask off misogyny now. "How little fondness I have for cis women as a class". I dont care what you use to dress it up, that's just misogyny, yes even if you're a woman as well.

Also just admitting there's literally no scenario in which she will respect a transmasc, or person who was AFAB in general. That is the fact of the matter, she "has little fondness" for cis women and even less for transmascs.

"There's no hypothetical scenario you can cook up where our social positions are inverted". This is bioessentialism. Its not saying that part out loud but that's what this boils down to. The social positions are that it believes people assigned female at birth are privileged by virtue of being "TME."

And of course, ending this off with the cherry on top of implying any criticism of this rhetoric is just a path towards detransitioning.

And then OOP has the gall to turn around and say "but be yourself! I love you!" Bullshit.

When I was doing my criminology degree, I went to several professors with several thesis ideas, and all of them were denied. These were all ideas based on transmasculine crime and victimology stats. Every professor shot down every thesis I had on ideas related to transmasc victims of various crimes.

Their reasoning? There's no need for this. This is useless. Nobody is interested in reading about trans men and transmascs being victims of crimes. They wouldn't even let me do my thesis on estimating more accurate stats on transmasculine victims of homicide. Which is an INCREDIBLY important thing!

This is genuinely one of the most vile posts I've ever seen on here.

The idea that transmascs (or any marginalized person, really) are excited about the idea of getting to be "higher" on the social ladder than someone else. This is just plain bigotry with literally no basis in reality.

she keeps posting about how she has lost multiple friends and "an entire community" - these are the same people who defended her when she went off about "pedophile liberation" 8 months ago, all of the people who defended PT and PDB, the "thought crimes arent real, wont someone think of the poor defenseless pedophile?" crew, all of the people who had no problem with her defending a serial rapist and calling rape victims "monsters" just a month ago - are suddenly dropping her?

i am genuinely not trying to fearmonger, but between this and her recent vagueposts about being a Real Pedophile, and commenting support on a post of a self-admitted, real-life child molester, i am sincerely afraid that she has reached a new low and is doing real harm to real kids if all of the people who had no problem with her wanting to rape fake kids are suddenly jumping ship. im scared that at some point in the near future, there is going to be a whistleblower who will expose her as a groomer or a predator, and everyone will continue to write it off as "baseless transmisogyny" like they have been this entire time instead of paying attention to the Very Real Red Flags that we've been trying to warn about. i hope im wrong. i really, really hope im wrong.

i get what you're saying. but i will be completely honest, this is pedojacketing.

there is no conclusive evidence to suggest that isff is a pedophile. but all the posts linked below do prove that she is continously enabling pedophiles and predators.

Its also super cool (sarcasm) that if there's a single shitty blog, not even run by a transmasc, with a handful of "supporters", that means all transmascs are responsible and can't "wash their hands of it".

Is denouncing it not enough? Are the hundreds of posts in our tags criticizing it and condemning it not enough? Why are we responsible for the actions of a few people that we can't control? Why do we have to carry the blame of someone using the veneer of our voices for bigotry?

What about the dozens of blogs run by self-proclaimed TMA people that talked about wanting to murder and rape transmascs in graphic detail? What about the constant suicide baiting I recieve in my inbox? Do y'all get to "wash your hands" of that? Or should we hold you responsible for the actions of strangers?

Y'all are we serious rn? Isff was being virulently anti trans men while also advocating for pedophilia and minimizing rape victims' experiences. Yay-bunnies launched a harassment campaign against a trans man just for having a similar gimmick blog, chasing him off tumblr. Sailatina was posting racist shit left and right.

Why the fuck are we defending these people just because they're trans women?
