Hey all, so this is the sideblog of [redacted] to discuss queer things. Uhh, we are a DID system trying to explore our individual relationships to being queer.
Politically loveless, unashamed misandrist
Update: we wanted a more discoursey blog so this is now that

its crazy theyre being like "ohhhh our site is SO queer that trans women are simply over-represented in banwaves" when the last nuking spree had something like a 98.5% hit rate on tgirls
"reblog to give a trans woman soup"

"trans women experience misogyny because they're women"
- you are now on a blocklist
a lot of my disillusionment with the trans "community" comes down to the fact that too many of you take "gender is different from sex" and go "ah ok, so instead of saying women are fragile and men are strong, I should say afabs are fragile and amabs are strong. to be Inclusive"
then you just treat gender like a surface level aesthetic draped over what someone "actually" is. really is indistinguishable from terf rhetoric
you all need to unpack your bioessentialism, but we also need a better theory of gender than "it's just dressup." I will pick my words carefully here, but the word "gender" itself refers to so many different phenomena that have been lumped together, and we need to un-lump them
in a feminist context, "gender" has historically referred to externally imposed categorization and the internalization and performance of said categories. in a paper I wrote on this subject, I called this sense of the word "extrinsic gender"
"intrinsic gender," on the other hand, is what I used to refer to the sense of the word "gender" that a lot of trans people are talking about when they discuss social gender dysphoria and euphoria. it's the internal sense of category that's resistant to external impositions
but then we also use the word "gender" to refer to subconscious sex, which is the term Julia Serano coins in Whipping Girl to name the phenomenon we're talking about when we talk about bodily dysphoria. it is the "gender" being "affirmed" by gender affirming healthcare like HRT and bottom surgery
so, "gender" is: a social classing system, a performance, and at least two internal phenomena as well. and I really don't know if it's doing us a service to conflate all of these things!
a lot of people lately seem to be going heavy on the "performance" use of the word, ignoring (intentionally or otherwise) social classing, intrinsic gender, and subconscious sex. this seems to have led to a lot of "progressive" people treating trans women like men "amabs" who wear womanhood as a costume, and nobody understands why that's wrong because they also think gender is just a performance
see also "why can't you just be a femboy/feminine man/etc"
denying trans kids hrt when they're sure of which puberty they want to go through is also an act of oppression. even if puberty blockers are available, we're not protecting kids by denying them the opportunity to go through puberty at the same time as their peers
"what if they go through physical changes that they later regret?" we allow cis kids to take that risk. in fact, most of them are never even given a choice and told they might regret it. just educate trans kids about what hrt will and won't do for them, then let them decide

i'd rather every single person on earth have free, reliable, easily accessible, and judgment free access to hrt, even if they regret taking it later, than have one single trans person kill themselves because they can't access or afford or are prevented from taking hrt!!!! i'll forcefem a thousands cismen before i let one trans girl die!!!!
Hey @staff love the queer decs you apparently have time to do. Are you gonna stop harassing and deleting the blogs of poc and trans women? Are you gonna do anything about the literal nazis and twerfs on staff? No? Fuck off and kill yourselves
It is endlessly frustrating how people will perpetuate transmisogyny and then straight up treat you like a hysterical bitch for recognizing that's whats happening. we are doing 19th century quackery type shit to girls in 2026 but since they are trans, people will be like "hmmm those girls ARE kinda hysterical....."
"you're biased in favor of trans women" yes. i am. and i'm entirely right for it.
bringing this back because it's pride month and people are saying i'm trying to "divide the community." motherfucker everyone in the queer and trans communities shit on transfems all the time and you want me to act like there isn't already a division? no one gets to pretend like everything's okay when the people who are supposed to be our allies are transmisogynists. everyone is already biased against us. do you know how sickening it is to see random people in my fucking community so easily and readily go along with any accusation against transfems, no matter how absurd or unsubstantiated? do you know how sickening it is that the people i'm supposed to lean on are the ones painting us as predators and monsters and threats for no other reason than "the vibes were off"?
i'll stop being biased for transfems when there's no longer a need. i'll stop when people actually treat us like people and not some fucking underclass they unfortunately have to include. hell, it would be a leap forward for aspiring allies to even so much as acknowledge that we're treated this way, instead of living in a fantasy that we're doing just as well or unwell as anyone else. so long as the status quo continues, the community is already divided. try working with us instead of pretending we're making shit up if you want me to stop being a bitch about it.

tumblr having a "if your blog gets nuked*, every single image you've ever posted - including those in reblogs on other people's posts, including those that are entirely safe for work - gets permanently deleted from existence and marked with a big 'this image has been removed because it was posted by a yucky tranny' marker" policy should make anyone suspicious if not outright hateful toward staff. but i feel like 99% of people just ignore it or even laugh at it and move on.
*nuked here refers to a specific type of blog deletion. its not deactivation (where someone deletes their blog themselves) or getting terminated (where all your images and post still exist and can still be circulated). its specifically a special type of deletion with no appeal available and suspiciously often used against trans women or other minority groups. and it permanently wipes your blog and any reblog additions you ever made, replacing everything you ever posted with the big fat mature content label.
there are nazis on staff, fuck you staff you fascist scum
Shout out to trans women who aren't computer scientists or musicians or avant-garde artists or whatever.
Shout-out to tgirls who work at Taco Bell. Thank u queen, society would collapse without you
Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the "gay Taco Bell", but since I was coming from the "gay Howard Johnson's" I wasn't shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they'd worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the "gay Taco Bell" on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven't changed much in 20 years. I'm still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city's version of the "gay Taco Bell" is key to survival.
Thank u for sharing this with us
you can explain the material things that could be done to make trans women's lives easier, and someone who thinks misandry is real will show up like "that pales in effectiveness to my strategy, abolishing gender". and then they wont abolish gender
they only ever want to abolish trans women's gender
a lot of people say "abolish" when they mean "re-naturalize." they don't want to make sexgender systems more visible and work collectively to dismantle them. they want to make them invisible and insist there is nothing there to dismantle.
Not entirely related but it reminds me of this story
One day I showed off my girliest outfit around the only person who knows I’m transfem and he was just like “oh yeah that’s nice what’s so special about it” and when I mentioned they were girls’ clothes he just went “well yeah but clothes have no gender” and I literally had to look him dead in the eyes and say “let me have this”
I’m not mad about it but it was EXTREMELY disheartening especially because he thought he was being supportive by taking the femininity out of what I was wearing
like fundamentally if you want to call yourself an ally as a tme person you need to be raising a stink every time trans women are not explicitly included and welcomed at an event. if you find out that a "trans inclusive" event excludes transfems either implicitly or explicitly you need to tell everyone involved and everyone who's interested in the event that it's organized by twerfs and make a call to boycott it. otherwise I don't wanna hear any claims about "allyship" from you. if you won't stand up for us even when you have literally nothing to lose you're worse than useless, you're complicit in our oppression
I didn't have the language for it back then but I did mention to a transmasc person I knew that the "trans inclusive swim times" needed to be specifically stating that Trans Women and Transfems were overtly welcome because we so often exclude ourselves from trans spaces for fear of being perceived as predators (through the internalizing of systemic rejection of transfeminine people even within queer spaces) and they were very stunned and aghast because it put into context the refusal of 3 transfems they invited to the swim time and how there was only 1 transfem in the like 30 people that showed up and said transfem was the one that hadn't refused their invitation. I said this to them after their friend was asked to leave the "trans inclusive swim time" which obviously contributed to this sort of invisibilized yet evident dynamics description
They talked about it to the events organizers and said event organizers essentially told my acquaintance that "this is a space for people to feel safe, and that they will prioritize those who state feeling uncomfortable in the presence of others over said others" and their heart fucking sank and they made a stink about how this was horrifying twerf and bioessentialist rhetoric. They were banned from the "trans inclusive swim times" and so was their transfem friend. Not because they were transmasculine, but specifically because they were not okay with the fact that some fuckass twerf in an entire group was given so much power as to manage to exclude any and all transfems from the "trans inclusive swim times"
Idk. I'm tired. I'm sad. I'm hungry, and I'm thinking. I am too exhausted to be angry.

Trans girls, in my experience, have largely lived an existence in which for the vast majority of our lives, we've never been anybody's first choice romantically. That's if we're chosen at all.
Second choice? Yeah. Back up plan? Happens. Fetishized? Always.
But never just chosen. Never just pursued. Never loved quite as much as we need. Never the object of obsession. Never the focus of passion.
Every love feels like it's one better option disappearing like a vapor in the wind.
So I say all that to say, if you're romantically inclined, and you love a trans girl. Choose her. Really choose her. Choose her in every moment. Make her feel like she's the only one that matters and do it every day, because it's possible, likely even, that she's never felt that before.
Really choose her, or you will break her heart.
If you're not willing to do that, leave her the fuck alone.
ALSO. FLOWERS. FOR THE LOVE OF GODS GET HER FLOWERS SHE HAS PROBABLY NEVER BEEN GIVEN FLOWERS ROMANTICALLY IN HER LIFE.
proponents of the sex binary love to say that the Essence of your sex is stored only in one or another part of your body, and this Essence loves to move the moment it's pointed out that that aspect is not always aligned with one's other sex characteristics via being intersex or transsexual
"sex is in your genitals, I mean it's in your chromosomes, uh I mean it's in the size of gamete your body produces, uh I mean it's in the size of gamete your body is intended (???) to produce"
there are plenty of body parts that are regularly attributed to sex, and yet people are terrified of the idea that they may not always come in one of two particular configurations
all the talk about which part your Sex Essence really lies in is just drawing and redrawing linguistic boundaries as a method of erasing intersex and transsexual people. it's pure word games played to deny reality and define those of us who don't fit into the sex binary out of existence
the mythology of the Sex Essence, by the way, is how the patriarchy attempts to keep people bound to their assigned classes so it can categorize and control. you don't have a sex. you have a configuration of body parts and you have a state assigned class loosely based on only one of those body parts
when they say "sex is real" they really mean "Sex Essence is real"
btw when a lot of you say "amab" and "afab" it's obvious you're actually referring to Sex Essence rather than referring to the process by which the state assigns a class
AMBTS (Assigned Male By The State)
CAN WE SWITCH TO THIS ACRONYM ACTUALLY
- people need to be reminded who does the fucking assigning
- doesn't roll off the tongue, so you will never hear a trans woman called "an ambts" out loud
