Not a biologist, but the evolution of mammals is way more granular than you might expect. Humans are the sole surviving species of the genus Homo, which was a real party before the other ones went extinct. You're in for a fun time.

Domestic cats are believed to be domesticated not from tigers, but from the African wildcat:

Which evolved to be small just because it's sometimes more useful to be small.

And no, hamsters are not off-brand rats. They're part of the rodent order, which includes beavers, moles, capybaras, guinea pigs (yes, also wild) and lots of other fun things:

I hope you have a good day

Hi! The short answer: years if discourse and bullshit piling up and rising tensions

Explained by someone else in a comment section I'm going to just blatantly quote:

lilacchao

i'll take this a bit at a time in the hope of writing clearly re "transfeminists and trans men are fighting": at its core, it's an argument of "can trans women, transfems, and transfeminised people please be treated better in the trans community?" vs "how dare you accuse us of treating you poorly, we're all treated equally poorly by everyone, i bet you hate trans men, now shut up and stay quiet" - and, of course, the only part anyone hears is "you hate trans men", so now everyone sees transfems as "misandrists"

==

It really boils down to a few shitty people and a whole lotta transfeminists making the internet mad cuz people fundamentally don't understand trans-misogyny nor transfeminism and think every discussion of it somehow has a sinister, hidden meaning against tguys...

Lowkey it used to be better but now adays it's the same claims that nobody ever says being quoted and argued against as if transfeminists believe it and they are repeated so much a lot of the internet believes it. Because it's easier to take the side of the drama that's saying "uphold the beliefs that mena you don't have to acknowledge privilege or unlearn bigotry or put in work" than to actually research ykwim?

Like inherently to people it's the better, and easier option. Since all you need is ignorance. It's more complex than I can explain but really i's people not wanting to acknowledge trans-misogyny mixed with self-perpetuating ignorance, mixed with bad faithed actors trying to rise tensions even more.

Well, good news! She'd probably be down for that. Like, more or less entirely unconditionally vis a vis your personality, preferences, physical form, or current situation.

no one needs to make the equivalent of butch for feminine men because men and women are not dichotomies and gay men don't need an equal and opposite thing for every lesbian thing that exists, and you certainly don't need to appropriate transmisogynistic slurs because some dyke hasn't put in the effort to create a word for you.

you're right, you are getting blocked for this. you didn't need to type this out but you still did anyway, for whatever reason. my blog is not a confessional, you dont need to tell me your sins, especially when you say how you intend to make no effort to change or do better. you're just bragging about your use of slurs

"until someone introduces me to the equivalent of butch but for feminine men"

not "until i find a word that isn't a slur" or even "until we can brainstorm a new term". it always demanding the labor of others, its always making someone else (ie a woman) do the work.

they do this while also blatantly ignoring us saying "no". they know exactly what they're doing.

"i know you dont like me saying this slur, but until *you* do something for me, im gonna ignore you"

this is blatant misogyny. this is how men treat women constantly; belittle us, mock us, ignore us, demand labor of us, and refuse to take no for an answer.

One of the "Former TERF" Transmascs who came up with Transandrophobia theory has dropped the former part, detransitioned, and is also now an avowed Nazi. Followers of the ideology claim that this is a non-issue on how they view the ideology.

Two separate transmascs and one cis woman "ally" made videos lolcowing "acceptable target" transfems.

One of the most prominent serial harassers of Trans women on this site was outed as a Kiwifarms user and fully bought into the Pizza-gate conspiracy. Many people who participated in the campaigns they ran are saying "Well I'm certain they were right about the ones I harassed."

Tumblr Staff's Rate of banning trans women reached a mass so noticeable that it made news. Tumblr claims that this was in error, but has continued to ban at the same rate, and hopes everyone forgets that they were previously sued (and settled) for anti-LGBTQ bias in its moderation, confessed to having moderators taking bribes to ban targeted users, and its own CEO stalked a trans woman across multiple social media sites.

This archive isn't complete, as no archive ever is. I'm constantly taking suggestions on what to add to it or changes to make. If you'd like to see something added to the archives or are having technical difficulties, please send me a DM. Current content categories and archivist's note below cut.

"Anonsee, what is Transfeminist Womanism?"

Transfeminist Womanism itself is a synthesis of both eponymous ideologies, seeking to fill the gaps formed within each that often leave out Black trans women - racism within transfeminism, transmisogyny within womanism - when Black trans women are often the people that need those ideologies the most. Transfeminist Womanism is a primarily Abolitionist ideology, finding value in the rhetoric, knowledge, tactics, and tools of anarchism, communism, and other ideologies without falling directly into any of those categories.

Additionally, I've curated a "Foundational" folder that gives guided reading to help understand the underlying principles and thoughts behind Transfeminist Womanism.

If you're an author of works in the archives and you'd like to be added to the tip list, please send me a DM and I'll add your information. For fiction titles and art, I'm only accepting works from Black and/or transfemme authors/artists to be added to the archives.

NEW: If you are Black and/or Transfemme and would like to potentially include your art in the archive - visual, audio, or otherwise so long as its digital, DM me!
