Next up someone is going to claim that the Narnia series isn't kids books.

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

Unfortunately, if you are currently marked red in Shinigami Eyes, that is probably not an accident and in fact part of the design which now embraces exclusionism, because you talk about intersectionality and (sarcastically: ) such evil, evil talking points as.... *checks notes*... 'trans men are discriminated against, and experience oppression because they are trans'

I can try re-installing it to mark you green, but I also do really wanna spread the word that it is *not* inclusive anymore and talking about intersectionality and the need for solidarity can and will get you marked red 🫠

EDIT: just got it and marked you green, but this only applies to individual sessions of Shinigami Eyes, and since they apparently have to manually approve marking people Red Generally to begin with....

you can leave a review for Shinigami Eyes here, to express your displeasure in the moderation team marking inclusive trans and intersex blogs red, as well as having their "official guidlines" saying that using transphobic slurs like "theyfab" isn't enough to be marked red.

"if someone identifies as an AFAB transfem, that forces trans women to identify as AMAB transfems, which makes *you* a TERF!!"

"the term "binary trans woman" is a derogatory phrase in my book, so its fine for people to use"theyfab" and "tenderqueer" as slurs while perpetuating violent hatred against trans men, trans mascs, intersex folk, and nonbinary folk"

And take note, this one is verbatim:

"Discussion of transandrophobia doesn't turn you red. It's using trans language to promote anti-trans values."

and tumblr.

if you ever do that shit best believe I’m deleting with no hesitation.

The ways I see other trans women rationalise a material disconnect between us and cis men in our brains, mentalities, formative experiences, largely fall into two categories: literal magical thinking, that such a thing exists as a male and a female soul and that trans women are female souls born in AMAB bodies, or a discussion of upbringing and socialisation.

Now, 'Socialised male' is an ugly talking point I associate with TERFs trying to downplay the existence of transmisogyny. Of course most trans women do not experience male privilege simply because of certain aspects of their childhood and upbringing. However, I cannot help but acknowledge certain qualities I had as a teen and young adult I have had to contend with. I was absolutely a misogynist as a teen, and engaged in behaviour that today would be called incel-ish.

In spite of this I would say that most of my childhood was otherisation in a way I look back on in retrospect as degendering. My life was a contradiction, since my biology had me forcibly grouped in with boys, but my external characteristics had me continually bullied as effeminate. I was outcast by either group. I did not know what I was, as no one could tell me.

Now this is certainly a classic story that I'm sure most trans women relate to, but I don't believe it is one unique to us. One that we have a monopoly on. I knew disabled or autistic boys who went through everything I did but worse. Other boys who would grow up to find they were some form of queer. Non-white boys. Poor boys (Not that any of us were rich, but some were certainly poorer than others.) Simply any boy who broke the norm in some way. I will never hate men because men are not a monolith. There is no trait universally shared by men besides the arbitrarily applied social label of "Man", which I myself share in many aspects. I would certainly say there is a particular type of man I dislike, but it is one difficult to define beyond saying "Misogynistic and otherwise privileged."

Be the kind of person trans men don't feel guilty around you for being men !!!!

Be the kind of person trans women can feel safe not passing !!!!!!
