qhat is 4tran ?? /tttt/ hello???? am i behind on some key knowledge????????
I’d almost choose not to explain to preserve another innocent life (because truly, ignorance is bliss when it comes to /tttt/) but basically, /tttt/ also known as 4tran is a subforum on 4Chan and, as you can imagine by the fact it’s 4CHAN, it’s an absolute cesspit.
Anyway, since it’s 4Chan, it’s chock-full of misogynists who despise anyone who was assigned female at birth. They love making up new insults for trans men constantly (in fact, I’m pretty sure words like “birthday boy” and “zippertits” originated on that site), and they absolutely hate us. To explain why, exactly, have this snippet off a post from that forum that sums it up pretty well. The author was talking about herself when she said “you”, it’s a weird typing thing people do on 4chan.
Their hatred towards all cisgender women is also actually astounding. They hate masculine ones for the same reason as transmascs and femenine ones because “they don’t need to put in an effort”. Again. WHAT.
Probably for similar reasons stemming from jealousy… they also HATE trans women who even remotely pass and have also made up derogatory terms for trans people who pass (ie “passoid”. Why is that even a thing?)
Oh, and don’t even get me started on how they view intersex people. Or people of colour. Seriously. It’s so racist over there. (Again, 4chan, what did you expect. Actually, a black trans woman came up with the word “klansfem” to describe racist trans women, and now it's a commonly-used term within the black trans community to talk about them as a whole but also very commonly applied to ttttcels because of how inherently racist that shithole is.)
Most of the forum is made of white perisex transfems. There’s a certain amount of transmascs, intersex people, and/or poc on the forum; most of which are self-hating ones who put themselves down for the “ruling class”.
Basically, when a 4chan incel’s egg cracks, they head onto /tttt/ and become a 4tran incel. They still have all the misogyny (both internalised and externalised) that the incel ideology carries, so instead of trying to un-learn it, they kvetch about how much everyone who isn’t a 4tran incel sucks.
It’s a circlejerk of a (relative to the size of the community) handful of trans people (mostly fems) who don’t pass and are fucking miserable about it, and instead of being normal and going to therapy they make it everyone else’s problem. It is truly a cesspit.
PS. I feel like it’s very important to add that ttttcels only make up a TINY percentage of the trans community. However, since they are extremely vocal in their bigotry, people tend to make assumptions about transfems as a whole and pretend they’re all like that. I cannot stress this enough: the amount of transfems who frequent 4tran is infinitesimal (very small, for those illiterate). The stereotype that all or most transfems are/have been ttttcels is not only VERY untrue but also incredibly damaging and can cause very serious harm to the community. Don’t fall for that rhetoric.
