Anti-masculinity and Transandrophobia within Mogai.
Trigger warnings for discussion of the following: transandrophobia, terfism, racism, and bigotry under the cut.
Note: I, Calypso, have been out as a trans guy for 8+ years and have been the victim of transandrophobic aggression, including hate crimes and IRL longterm harassment. do not come onto this post and argue with me about the usage of 'transandrophobia'.
If sentences seem jumbled, this is because I struggle a lot with stringing together sentences that make sense or are grammatically correct. I apologize if parts of this are difficult to read due to this. Tagging @radiomogai for reach.
There is a large transandrophobia shaped elephant in Mogaiblr. I've noticed it, others have noticed it, you've probably noticed it, but nobody wants to talk about it. We all tiptoe around it instead.
With the rise in discussions about misogyny within mogaiblr, there have been folks who looked at the very much valid discussions that have been held and, instead of walking away with the thought of 'we should uplift, support, and cherish the women and girls within in our community', they walked away with the idea that trans men & masculinity in general are to blame for the misogyny in mogai.
It's no secret that there has been a very sharp, very dangerous increase of bigotry towards trans men&mascs (especially tmoc) on tumblr, we've seen it with large bloggers like isuggestforcefem, pocket-deer-belly, yay-bunnies, and others encouraging sexual harassment, cyber-stalking, abuse, and cruelty towards trans men, especially those of us whom they deem to be "transandrobros".
Hell, accusations of rape, nazism, racism, transmisogyny, and being a terf are routinely trotted out against the coiner of transandrophobia! Even though these allegations have been proven false about a dozen times over!
How does this tie into mogaiblr? Well, mogaiblr has an anti-masculinity issue - not just when it comes to men, but when it comes to women as well. Notice how few terms for masculine-aligned women there are compared to the abundance of terms for feminine-aligned women? How a lot of feminine-centered coiners seem to treat 'masculinity' as interchangeable with 'man'?
This anti-masculinity that is rampant in the mogai community is intertwined with racism, as well. Have you noticed how many Black coiners are automatically assumed to be masculine/man-aligned without any thought? How many asian coiners (especially coiners who are east asian and/or southeast asian) are denied the option of masculinity and instead automatically assumed (and pressured) to be feminine/woman-aligned?
I do not bring this up in an attempt to stir drama, I bring this up to try and combat transandrophobia within a community that I love with every inch of my heart and soul. Mogai is so important to me, it's deeply integrated into my daily life and thoughts, amd Mogai helps me cope with my chronic suicidalness and gender dysphoria. I want to help this community and the folks within be the best we can be.

very important video by E, please watch it as soon as possible. please keep an open heart & open mind for people in your community. weird labels or not, everyone is under the same group, everyone is fighting the same war— let's do our best to unionize in the coming times.
please. get rid of your radicalized and normative views on queerness. remember intersex people, multigender people, mspec (multiple orientation spectrum), and people who dont neatly fit into certain labels. the world will become meaner and scarier, and we need to start caring about the real issues, in our real lives. please, let's all let go of being
I'm so tired. It's 2025 why are non asians still using our culture as an aesthetic trend. For clarification I'm part of the mogai/liom community, I make terms so this isn't a mogai is bad post. This is a why are multiple people in editblr and mogaiblr casually racist and fine with it.
Why do people in those communities insist using Japanese names are perfectly fine when 9/10 times they just use it because of anime/manga or trends. Not even bothering to pronounce it right or use the proper spelling like removing ō's ū's etc for convenience. So many times I see an anime or asian game blow up then suddenly a ton of non asians are using the names. When the next thing blows up they use new names or use both. They put our language in typing quirks, they put our language in fonts, they make fun of our language by shouting phrases they don't even know the meaning of.
That's not even mentioning how many non asians fetishize us. Don't see us as human. I'm mixed, I have 2 asian backgrounds and a native american background but my japanese one is the focus of this. I've had so many people go "you must look so pretty/hot" the moment they learn I'm japanese. I've had people start saying random japanese words or anime references at me as if I'm just an anime boy to gock at. God forbid a japanese person happens to share a name with a character that gets popular cause that's all they hear. "Omg like from that anime/game!! You must be a huge fan! You're like anime irl!!" Even if the person hasn't even seen the media. I've been called irl yaoi and yuri, I've been called irl futanari (Japanese word for the intersex slur) by both strangers and FELLOW mogaiblr and editblr people. I've had people refuse to use the kanji versions of my names cause they're too lazy to ask how to say it. I've had people get mad when telling them they aren't pronouncing a name right. Especially when it's a name they're using. They don't even bother to say it right. I've had people become my friend just to ask me to "gift" them asian names both irl and in the communities.
It's so obvious the communities just see us as an accessory. Especially when it's mainly the "pretty pale" asian cultures being used. I rarely see people doing this with cultures where people aren't seen as pale. Why? Are you scared to touch people with darker skin tones? Only the pastel soft ones fit what you want? Is a name from those other places dirty or not pretty enough for you? Also this isn't to say people don't steal from those cultures too. They do and it's an issue but the people who take from Japanese culture often ignore the others as if it's the plague.
I also feel the need to point out that there ARE contexts in my culture where non asians take on asian names. That's when they move to the country and are actually participating in the culture + learning the language to use there. Not just using as a pretty aesthetic. But most people in these communities aren't doing that. So.
