Mikumiotics, study of the meaning of Miku

You just have to wonder if Shen talked to a SINGLE trans woman about any of this shit. like he obviously knows what the term 'moid' means but doesn't know enough to know that putting the word in the mouth of a TWERF character is actually just, well that's literally a very real, very hateful group of people that work to get trans women killed so sorry. I don't find a cute little comic about one of them very fun or funny.

listen up cause im only gonna say it once. it's okay if a girl does it but not if a boy does

i cannot stress enough that "femboy" is a transmisogynistic slur and a transmisogynistic caricature, and it is one that is employed overwhelmingly by tme people disrespecting and degendering transfems in the name of coopting our aesthetics and wearing our marginalization like a costume. yes some girls reclaim the slur, largely out of necessity to make a living doing sex work that covets their bodies but refuses to gender them correctly while doing it, but that does not save the term. in fact it is all the more damning.

like i can't get over how blatant this is. the insistence on calling what is clearly a trans woman a man, even when she's on estrogen. the implication that she won't pass, that a "cis femboy on estrogen" won't just look like a woman, the implication that trans women always look like men. the idea that a misgendered sexualized caricature of transfemininity is a cool subversive bit of representation, the gender goals of a tboy. "i want to look like a girl, but the kind you misgender and disrespect!" transfeminized bodies are a fucking costume to you people. you see it in art, you see it in porn, you see it in drag, you see it in fucking femboy culture, you see it amongst tmes of all stripes. you all want our bodies but you hate the girls who inhabit them. fuck off

this was a comment on shen's newest comic series, the boy from venus. i was immediately wary that this is where his audience would take it. the whole concept in general is a little uncomfortable for me, a clearly tma character (the "femboy") on an arc to "fix" a fucking lolcow twerf. but of course the audience just sees it as #representation for the real victims, the poor gnc boys. shen i love you but i need you to stop beating around the fucking bush with the femboy stuff because jesus christ your audience does not have the capacity to understand transmisogyny

Niu Lai has not made its way onto tumblr yet so I guess my anglophone ass has to make a post about it

Good news: Niu Lai was only pulled from cinemas its hometown, because "the film’s poor quality could harm the city’s image." The rest of China is still screening it.

it's simple. i think if you make fun of bridget thigh high collar animal noise girls you should be killed immediately and brutally. i think if you're mean to girls who are struggling to recover from a lifetime of trauma and mistreatment that is renewed every time they go outside you are lower than dirt. i cannot tolerate it i just cant.

re: the last reblog, we really need to kill the line of thought that goes "trans women are oppressed, and therefore no trans woman has ever done anything genuinely inconsiderate or hurtful, especially to another transmisogynized person"

like yeah Society sucks but when you talk to another person you are not actually talking to Society writ large. you are talking to another person.

The popular idea that women are *allowed* to express more emotion than men because they're stereotyped as overly emotional is so fucking stupid when you actually think about it for 2 seconds. It's like saying poc are allowed to be angry. Dude

Toxic masculinity's emotional repression has a slightly different flavor to it but can we be so fucking honest. Every man I've known will throw a hissy fit at a moment's notice they just don't like having emotionally vulnerable friendships with each other because they're scared of looking gay. Which is their own fault for being homophobic. Damn I wish men weren't allowed to talk about their feelings stfu
