some people have been trying to rehabilitate the idea of "TVP for trans men," and I'd like to ask that these projects don't try to deliberately style themselves as counterparts to TVP

TVP is not the pink version of something blue, its existence since the outset has been as a fundamentally transfeminist project, and this purpose will be trivialized if it is presented on the same "shelf" as anything else, so to speak. TVP centers transfems because we are decentered everywhere else. if there is a companion project, our voices will inevitably be decentered in favor of it

There are SIX questions total in reblogs, the end will be marked by large green text. If you don’t see all six, check reblogs and grab the version with the ending note.

Answers amended from the 2025 census based on feedback. If you’re mixed, choose what feels right to you I’m not here to do phrenology or paper bag test you but don’t make it my problem either. When in doubt, ask yourself: would the whites kill you too in the race war?

This census is US-centric because so is tumblr, unfortunately. This poll is also starting with a heavy Black/racialized bias due to my personal followers. The main point of this census is to see how white-dominant the site is currently compared to prior years, as well

For the purpose of this census, Imperial Core will be defined as the following: United States, Canada, Australia, Aotearoa, basically all of Western Europe, Japan, and Israel. If you want to argue about any of these designations, too bad maybe they should stop colonizing.

Note for clarification:

*For those who don’t know, TMA means transmisogyny affected (such as trans women, some non-binary people, etc.) whereas TME means transmisogyny exempt (Cis men, cis women, transmasculine individuals, etc). If you want to ask for clarification for which applies to you for the purposes of this poll, feel free to ask and I’ll try to reply, but if you try to argue or quibble about the terms themselves, I’ll block you.

it helps me pay for:

- bottom surgery

- laser hair removal

- college

it also gives me more time to devote to:

- my writing

- Transfem Voices Project

- development of my game, Enter the Wyrm, which is playable now for free in open alpha!

thank you 🫶

people who do this never care enough to vet whether any of it is real and you should assume most or all of it is bullshit, but it is important to stress that even if someone could ensure with 100% certainty that every single instance of sexual violence listed actually occurred in exactly the way they presented it, the fact that they are choosing to present these accounts only because of what demographic committed them means that it functionally exists as propaganda against a demographic. it is incontestably a tactic for manufacturing consent for violence against a group of people.

I need help bad. Idk what to say. I just im not sure if I want to keep trying. It feels like it all amounts to nothing. Im canceling dr appts bc I cant afford them. Im off my medications bc I cant afford them. I have until the 11th to save my car. My power will be off the 13th. I need food. Im exhausted. I just dont know how to keep going when for years I have tried and tried and done nothing but got sicker and sicker and therefore poorer and poorer. I don't think ive reached goal in months, years actually so i just keep drowning more. Im so tired. It feels like noone gives a fuck abt black women, abt poor women, abt disabled women, abt gay women, abt trans women. Feels like my and my wife's existence is just a joke to the universe.

But when seemingly every other jewish person u know will, often entirely unprompted, recount how their parents or relatives would just casually liken muslims and arabs and palestinians to animals, and vermin, and what have you, &c. while they were growing up, in that confessional charlotte zhang absolving-oneself-of-racial-guilt way¹, I find I cannot help but think there is something a little 🤏🏽 unserious about the tendency of non-arabs in antizionist spaces to insist at every turn that everyone in da world is unconsciously harbouring antisemitic biases as a result of societal conditioning(which TO AN EXTENT I actually largely agree is true!) while not affording even a passing glance to the way the inverse is true RE: anti-arab racism and islamophobia, to even the possibility that a century of the majority of jewish institutions being staunchly and characteristically zionist might have resulted in many jewish people absorbing orientalist racism and islamophobia through that very same process, often to a greater and far less challenged extent. Like you’re just not a very serious person. I cannot take you seriously.

Especially when like. Sorry if this harshes anyone’s #vibe, but anti-arab racism and islamophobia are more institutionally and materially reinforced in the contemporary west than antisemitism is. It is frankly a denial of reality to pretend that it isn’t. Like if it were widely known that every single U.S. president in living memory had been actively complicit in the mass killing of hundreds of thousands of jews, that fact would not be met with the same overwhelming apathy with which people routinely greet the slaughter of Arabs and other Muslim West asians. The backlash would be immediate and impossible to ignore, and you know it. Like they were fully throwing teenagers in prison for sitting on their campus lawn because it hurt Israeli exchange students’ feefees.

Children dying from the cold, mothers screaming in pain and anguish, men praying to their Lord against injustice, the elderly groaning, the sick praying to their Lord to ease their pain and cold—all this in the tents.

Your donation and participation are very important; my family survived death due to the rain, floods, and cold.

people in every queer and trans community i go to set an expectation: i should ofrever abandon my muslim past, i should explicitly stop associating yourself with it whatsoever, you either get to be queer or you either get to be raised-muslim.

in reality, there's no such expectation for christianity, and none of them are ready to dismantle their "inner christian" in their heads as much as they expect be to dismantle my "inner muslim"

none fo them get to admit how most first world countries are culturally christian, because christianity is "default" to them, as well as first world, as well as white.

me having a complicated relationship with islam doesn't mean i absolutely despise every piece of it. it means i distanced myself from ummah, but won't hear islamic criticism from non ex muslims at all, because you expect us to dismantle "our inner muslims" in ways you aren't ready to dismantle imperialism and racism in you.

your expectation is us "acting white", you don't want us unless we're that, which means you don't want us at all.

a lot of people claiming to want to uplift brown queer voices and such don't procced to do anything meaningful for them, or for brown people at all. it's just virtue signaling, homonationalism. you'd only care of brown people being queer, and you want the "brown" part of it gone as much as possible.

a lot of people say they want the leftist agenda to stop being us centric and imperialist, but then it's just pretending to care about it. you already made is so little and unhearable you'd have to get out of your way to seek for us speaking. then you'd not seek or if you find us, you will just pass by. hoping someone else would amplify the voice you took from us? and that someone else would hope for that too, so what?

you want us only when we agree with everything usa says about us, you want us until our lives don't put you into too much discomfort. when they put you into too much discomfort, you don't ask why, you'll restore the comfort by banishing us again. your tolerability of us is so intricately conditional, to meet those a third worlder has to build themselves into a first worlder mindset. this is your (inter)nationalism hey.

hey you who reposted it with your personal feelings and stories, you, the one who grew up muslim, in a muslim family. you, who grew you jewish, you who grew you crhistian in latam, who grew up hindu or any other confessional territorial group treated like dirt because you just feel that it's not actually about religion.

i saw your repost and your tags saying you relate, and it makes my heart sting as much as yours.

you who quit the religion and still can't stop catching rocks, because it has never been really about religion, i'm here and i'm here for YOU

you who have it complex in your head, way more complex that people expect it to be, i wanna hug you

i see what you all share, and please please please talk, don't shut up, because i won't either. you speaking to me and replying with understanding and relating is something dear to me, something worth not just quitting thinking it's useless to explain anything to the first world. i will overexplain so you can stand firmer and talk too, until you get the community and the sense of belonging you deserve.

Fundraising on tumblr is survival. When tumblr deletes the blogs of people in Gaza, that is participation in genocide. It is unconscionable.

Fadel's new blog is @fadell-aldany. Please follow him there and send him a message of encouragement. He has been on tumblr for years and has lost all of his connections.

He's in the hospital because his blood count is so low from going too long without his blood medication and proper nutrition. He desperately needs funds, and he cannot raise them if no one finds his blog. Fadel's campaign (gazavetters #197) is hosted by a friend of mine. I am texting with Fadel right now as I type this, and I personally can confirm that this new account is really him.

Hey, if you’re disabled (of any kind), Mad/Insane, or “undiagnosed but there’s definitely something happening”, please come read this.

Especially if you’re a disabled transfemme. I know that as of writing, we’ve had a shitty couple days.

And if y’all can share it otherwise, whether that’s reblogging this or sending the link to the disabled/mad/whatever we are people in your life, I’d really appreciate it.

Apart from recovering from my FFS *and* being disabled meaning I’m stuck at home because I can only stand for like 20 minutes a day, I’m actually pretty decent?

I mean your puppygirl article did make me acutely suicidal along with a lot of other disabled/mad girls, and I’m working hard to pick out those brainworms from myself and administer antivenin to others who read it. But that’s not exactly new territory.

Apart from being disappointed in you not being able to truly recognize the sheer damage you did with what seems like a poorly thought out attempt to crowdfund and sell your book via outrage, willingness to sacrifice disabled people you don’t view as “worthy” for your ego, and you lashing out with even more ableism such as making fun of @missstrogen having myoclonic seizures from the stress of talking her loved ones out of spirals because the only thing you know how to do, in your words, is “attack attack attack”?

Yeag apart from all that I’m just trying to keep the disabled, mad, and traumatized people exposed to those articles safe in the ways I have the power to, and support those working one on one to keep them safe.

You say you write “from the masses” because your invariant line “draws the masses” despite deriding the masses as a “chorus” to be ignored when you’re wrong; well like I told you before, the US masses—your core audience—are fascist and white supremacist at base. We cannot rely on masses from the imperial core and ESPECIALLY the US as our barometer for what is right because shit half of them in one of the most left-leaning states in the US still majority voted against ending modern day slavery, "for economic reasons".

Circa 2025, the US is 75% white (including white latines) and 57% of white adults are right of center. Many marginalized whites are ONLY left of center because of their individual marginalizations, and often fall back into bigotry they haven't unlearned yet for other marginalizations (race/ethnicity, religion/ethnoreligion, disability, etc) until they explicitly take the time and effort to rip the white supremacy out of themselves.

Yeag we communists but putting on blinders and pretending that we don't live in the imperial core, in a society that is by and large complicit with multiple genocides for their comfort including our own, where the average USian has been so propagandized and trained into complacency with how things are that the "average" of the US masses is right of center, if you use the anglophonic "masses" as your sole barometer of whats right, of whats true, you will triangulate to a white supremacist, imperial colonial, capitalist, ABLEIST baseline.

So sure, you writing from/for/whatever the masses right now, because spewing horrendously ableist shit while not caring about how it harmed disabled/mad trans women when told until a disabled woman you see as a “real person” speaks up, is just what abled people do to us every day.

You have a platform of 50k across multiple places and millions of interactions per month. You have a responsibility as a transfeminist to at BARE MINIMUM not try to get your audience to kill themselves. Bar is in hell, but maybe you could try listening to us when we say you’re going wrong out of the public eye instead of just assuming we’re fools who just can’t see your greatness. Maybe ask your transfeminist peers to help give you feedback on your theory especially knowing a lot of us would give you that labor for free.

this is not even the half of it. somehow every single sentence has what i can only describe as pure unadulterated hate for an incredibly vulnerable group of people. i dont think i could even cover how all of this is terrible. comparing a trans woman to that of a masculine opppressor. framing her as a parody of a woman that exploits the feminized labor of others like a goddamn businessman. very clearly stating that receiving labor you can't reciprocate is a bad thing. very clearly stating that being supported financially is a moral failing. very clearly stating that having emotional breakdowns is manipulative.

this article was written about the worst caricature of a "crippled leech on society", and rather than address the obvious communication issues displayed in the dynamics present the proposed solution is to oust (kill) the most vulnerable, marginalized party.

as a woman who relies on a caregiver to survive, who identifies with being a puppygirl and functionally inhabits the social position of a child, upset is an understatement with regards to how i feel. if my caregiver took this advice for either me or our mutual girlfriend we would both die. if the people in this hypothetical scenario took this advice the puppygirl would die. systemically if people absorb this information and act according to what it says those who rely on them will die. this is not just a shitty mistake. it's not an understatement to say this is violent and could have terrible consequences.
