#tme

It's one of the most sickening rhetorical strategies that those segments of the trans community who wish to preserve and extend their own ability to benefit from transmisogyny have devised.

You have to love her when she can't pay rent.

You have to love her when she can't do the dishes in the sink.

You have to love her when her disability isn't pretty.

You have to love her when she can't get out of bed.

Friendly reminder to all the people using TMA/TME or any other false binary.

Every single trans man lesbian has entered into a queer space, saw rampant “afab-only” policies, and shrugged at the literal discriminatory segregation. He thought it was perfectly understandable, every single last time.

Or, at least understandable enough not to rock the boat. He wouldn’t want to be treated like trans women are, would he?

If trans men lesbians want to profess their existence, they can start by apologizing.

Felassans, long hair

Stop making tumblr essays about how much you hate the word transandrophobia or TME/TMA. It's not doing anything.

You are accomplishing absolutely nothing and this does not matter.

It's distracting you from doing something that actually materially helps people.

Talk to other queer people in your area. Create support networks. Educate the public about trans people. Make informational zines. Spread awareness of common transphobic dogwhistling so your allies can keep an eye out for it. Organize and attend protests (download Signal while you're at it). Show up to city hall. Show up to school board meetings. Pay attention to anti-trans legislation on a local level. Speak about transness at college queer events. DO something.
