Do we have a word for the denial of femininity/girlhood/similar for transfeminine+ people? And/or the forceful masculinization of them?
Transdefeminization is the best I can imagine for a word like that, or maybe transmalmasculinization. which is just the worst word ever.
blehhhh!! i wish for words!! all the words!
the denial of your gender & presentation & similar & the forceful attribution of your presumable "orginal" one and the one society tries to force you to conform to are both things that all trans people face in some way - and I think it'd be nice to have words to help discuss it.

transandrophobia as a word & antisemetism as a word suffer the same issue where everyone understands what it means,
but rather live in this false reality in which we pretend we don't know what it means and act like it's really hard to understand & grasp
& the ONLY POSSIBLE way to understand it is by dissecting the word & trying to guess what it means in the worst faith way possible to really show how stupid minorities are for ever trying to talk about their issues!
-
hyperbolic example: "tr ans and ro ph obia" ? none of of those thing make sense seperately! so obviously you are hysterical and absurdπ
-
this is why you don't argue linguistics, kid, it never works unless everyone agrees to play stupid.
(more in depth & poorly written talkings under the cut)
to speak more in depth:
People pretend like the only logical way to understand "transandrophobia" as a word is to HAVE to believe that it means "man" is an oppressed axis under the patriarchy.
Even though since it's birth this has never been a true misunderstanding anyone's organically had & people use it entirely differently to speak about issues that have been spoken about for years, just now under a unifying name for the discussion.
You MUST suspend your ability to think like a normal person & purposefully seek out the worst way something can be understood to reach the conclusion they are trying to say is the natural one, and from here you are supposed to believe that this makes the word invalid, lest you agree with the ascribed false definition.
This is illogical & should be rejected immediately. Don't even argue back, just say "come back when you're ready to not play dumb". (for your own health, truly..)

And antisemitism? Very similar things happen.
People go "well, if you pick it apart.." and then jump through hoops to try to discredit the word.
Ignore how "semetic" refers to a LANGUAGE GROUP, only languages can be semetic, not people.
Ignore how the word was coined to racialize jews.
Ignore the history & how everyone understands what this word means when it's said.
Just like you must ignore the "trans" in transandrophobia. Just like you must ignore how the only time masculinity & manhood is rewarded is when we are talking about patriarical manhood & conformity.
π«
And just like how they want you to ignore that none of this matters, they too know what it means, they simply want to derail your conversations and cause doubt in the minds of others for how reliable you are to talk about your own oppression.
They want to use words to silence you & take away the terms thay help empower you to talk about your issues. Don't let them.
and if i said people who's labels change entirely in sexual contexts are jusr as valid as anyone else? what then?
"oh that's transphobic because TERFs think being trans is a kink so you cant view your gender as different when im sexual contexts!" i don't suck boots sorry idk why i would concern myself with what scum thinks. i am not taking political advice from osama bin laden, and y'all need to stop doing so too.
everytime some baby queer complains about adults making fetish flags i laugh like buddy you wouldnt have ANY flags without fet flags coming first. learn your history.

I do want to add my hat in the ring on one topic I see nobody discuss enough:
People on here are so desperate to define trans-ness that I feel we are missing a lot of nuance, even in rad-inclus or intersex circles.
Firstly: when you say JUST the word "trans", you need to understand you are including transsexuals and even transvestites (depends) into your conversation. That alone adds a huge lump of more nuance than just defining "transgender" - which is a smaller scope ...
Secondly: there's so many things that make up "the trans experience" and our community I fear we truly will fail to encapsulate everything under the umbrella with these 3 word definitions..
and third and most importantly: we need to find the language to seperate and speak about transness as an identity and transness as a place in society and all the ways that can look - I feel like some people trying to define transness mesh these two concepts by accident sometimes and it harms our conversations as a whole..
[Will elaborate a fuck ton in reblogs when I can.. writing each post takes a few hours of finding the words, rewriting, imagining all the ways it can be taken wrong, etc..]
