Replacing the Face of God

I am someone who was born with Persistent Mullerian Duct Syndrome and like you said I had a penis and testes and even if I hadn't been surgically altered still would have gone through "typical wollfian developent", because the presence or absence of wollfian/mullerian ducts have literally fuck all to do with how someone's body will develop / what kind of puberty they will experience.

The way our bodies develop is almost entirely a function of our endocrine systems and whether or not they are estrogen or testosterone dominant, and the cool thing about that is that we've actually been figuring out cool and exciting ways to manipulate the endocrine system to adjust the ways our bodies develop for thousands of years.

cis and trans are adjectives to describe the relationship of gender identity to ASAB and tells you nothing about someone's physiology

tme and tma are adjectives to describe how intended a target is for transmisogyny and tells you nothing about someone's physiology

intersex is a spectrum label of many traits considered atypical to the male-female enforced sex binary and tells you nothing about someone's physiology

Like, for example:

Suppose you've got a guy with XXY chromosomes. He's a man, and he likes women.

Now, that guy meets a gay guy who also has XXY chromosomes.

If, out of these two people with XXY, one of them transitions and the other immediately starts to misgender her, does his intersex status mean his transphobia here is in any way lessened?

It clearly isn't. If he invokes his intersex status to claim that he's got a deeper understanding of gender and therefore his transphobia is okay, he's clearly full of shit.

In the same way, if this guy clarifies that he doesn't care about trans people in general, he just hates trans women in particular, then he's being transmisogynistic.

This does not change if the transmisogynistic intersex cis man is instead a transmisogynistic intersex trans man. The transmisogyny is still being done by someone who won't be harmed by transmisogyny in return.

So the use of TMA/TME is about the relationship between the individual and the social structure of transmisogyny, and the main similarity they have to AGAB language is that people who fucking refuse to understand what they actually refer to keep mangling the definition and then making it a problem for the people using them correctly.

Like AGAB, TMA/TME do not refer to the individual's biology as they describe an imposition on the individual by society. In fact, by design, TMA/TME should be harder to ascribe bioessentialism to because "TME" includes both cis women and cis men.

Similarly, TMA/TME can't be expressed more succinctly by reference to anatomy. Inside the TMA demographic there are both penis havers and vagina havers. Inside the TME demographic there are also penis havers and vagina havers.

In fact, the blame for both of these terminologies' controversy rests squarely on the same group of people: Bioessentialists who desperately want "biological female" to be a coherent social class but are too cowardly to openly declare their allegiance with TERFs.

I'm sure it will come as no great surprise to anyone that about 15 minutes into this the host was talking about how trans women are being brainwashed by baeddels, and ended with a cishet woman brought on as a guest who said that baeddels call trans men incels but really they want to call trans men eunuchs, to which the host responded saying "I wouldn't call incel a slur, but it's definitely the politically correct version of calling them a slur.

I also really got a kick out of this part in the middle where another guest started talking about how the expectation that trans men should ever have to listen to trans women (or any other women) is misandry, though my favorite part had to be right near the very beginning where the host said, and this is a direct quote, "bell hooks, who is the person I believe that coined the term intersectionality".

male socialization was when i kept trying to use a piece of twine in order to self castrate when i was 11.

male socialization was when I would secretly take my mother's women's multivitamins because maybe that's what I needed to become a girl.

male socialization was when I would ask my older sister if I could pleasd sleep in her room whenever she was going to be gone for trips or sleepovers at her friend's place.

male socialization was when I broke down crying in front of my parents and school counselor because I thought that I was gay (derogatory) because I wanted so badly to be a girl.

male socialization was when I prayed for 3000 nights to please, god, please, please let me wake up as a girl i'll do anything please

Enter Adriano Celentano: a top Italian rockstar. Effortlessly talented, deservedly popular, and extremely funny. Celentano decides to use his talent for evil. He composes a kind of a parody: a song that mimics English but is entirely gobbledegook, improvised to such an earworm you will find yourself humming it while doing laundry 5 years from now.

He performs it on Italian TV. It's an instant hit. Tops all the charts in Italy. And France. And Germany. And Belgium. Everyone goes nuts. It's a great comedy of American rock-and-roll. And of music itself.

HEY UM. This is Transmisogynistic.

Tumblr queers please purge the idea that doctors still see us as men and roll out the red carpet for us! They see us as weird hysterical pervert freaks trying to ruin our male bodies and they keep fighting us, basing their treatments on bad and outdated research, and denying us epistemic authority over our own bodies and experiences.
