I’ve seen trans women on tumblr get called TERFs for believing that trans men are men and trans women are women and transition materially changes your social class. What are we doing

"Black cis women are TMA because they get transvestigated and denied womanhood a lot" Yeah okay, if only there was a word or two to describe the hypermasculinization of Black women, or denying them womanhood or personhood. Beats me though

saw a post arguing that trans*ndrophobia should exist as a term even though other types of men do not get their own unique terms (ie, black men do not get a counterpart term to misogynoir, etc), and that the reason for this is because "discrimination against transmascs is more complex and nuanced than against cis male minorities" and that's gotta be one of the whitest, most birthday boy ass sentences ever conceived.

seeing agab used as an adjective or a noun to dehumanize transfems makes me want to kill people. fuck you and you aren't an ally for wokely misgendering us.

If I see one more "afab only queer space"...

i think telling trans men they're not men in a way that counts is heinously transphobic actually. all these people are obviously transmisogynists as well but atp i'm marking them red for their good old fashioned transphobia too

i've fought cis people who were dear to me for saying shit like this, why should i tolerate it from shitty dudes who, adding insult to injury, aren't just saying it because they're parroting the transphobic background noise of the world rn but to actively deny they benefit from transmisogyny??? fuck all the way off. i'm so tired of people on my asks telling me i should give more grace to ""my community"". these people are not my community and if i could i'd spit on every one of their faces until i died from dehydration

It's because they're using a sex-gender split and subbing in class instead of sex. It reads the exact same and means the exact same because it's the exact same argument. Just boils back down to sex-based oppression talking points.

To the trans girl reading this: it is never to late to transition. It is never too late to question your gender identity. It is never too late for anything. Live your dreams and be your happiest self. Don't leave yourself wondering of what could've been when it could be now. I will wrap my arms around you and embrace you, even if you want to transition in your mid 30s or 40s. Even if you've already had puberty and your body has developed. It will never be too late.

If you aren't sure what pronouns to use for a trans woman or trans fem, just use she/her. That's the safe bet. Not they/them.

It is transmisogynistic to default to they/them for a transfem.

sometimes u have to make ur friends uncomfortable by making them aware they've said something reactionary and u have to let them sit in that discomfort bc otherwise they'll not question anything
