#transfemmes

It isn't just the intersection of gender and being trans. And it applies to people outside the trans community too.

My cishet roommate is probably more oppressed than me in terms of reproductive rights. She lives in a state where abortion is highly difficult to get. I don't. I could get an abortion not easily, but easier than her.

A poor transmasc who lives in like fucking texas with an unsupportive family is going to be more oppressed than a trans women several years into her transition living in a state/place where trans people have more rights and she has a supportive community. The complicating factors here is not the gender of the trans person but rather age, location, and socio-economic status.

All trans people in Kansas lost their drivers license. This makes it so living in Kansas adds another layer of oppression to trans people there.

Black trans people obviously also have a different type of oppression and experience due to our white supremacist society. I'm not going to talk directly to it as I am not Black, but if you are, please charm in here with your thoughts/experiences.

Like my guys, I'm not really a gender abolitionist (really haven't thought about it) but have to stop clinging onto girl vs. boy so much.

i am a transfem and i love myself

unironically im one of the least depressed and self hating people ik

AND

i love other transfems°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･°❀⋆.ೃ࿔:･

i make posts about how much i love my fellow sisters and siblings frequently but i have critiques of some of my sisters rhetoric especially when it harms other sisters and siblings especially when they use language that erases our history or even uses terms like transfem for purposes of exclusion something that is in direct opposition of how the transfem that coined the term wanted it to be used

jane nance explicitly created the term transfeminine in order to have a more expansive label for people like her who felt she was being gatekept out of community terms and labels

in order to show my love and affection for my transfem sisters and siblings in fact it is my duty to defend them ALL transfems including afab transfems and it is my duty to fight against rhetoric that defines us by our suffering or our sex takes that are both transphobic and actively harmful ideologies not just to others but to those that hold them

if you truly love someone you support and accept them even if you may not understand them if you truly support and accept someone you listen to what they have to say (always not just when its convenient) and you care about their well being

no group is a monolith and people in groups have opposing views and beliefs and stances and ultimately at the end of the day you have to make an informed choice and form your own conclusions based on what helps the most people in the affected group

it is harmful for transfems to feel as if their only friends are other transfems it is harmful to transfems (ESPECIALLY intersex and nonbinary transfems) to act as if any other kind of trans person is inherently much different from transfems in fact its oppositional sexism and transmisogyny to act as if transfems are in direct opposition with transmascs

OR that in order to BE transfem that they must have an oppositional relationship with their agab

transfems deserve community amongst our fellow siblings and brothers transfems deserve support from anyone and everyone willing to give it and actions and rhetoric that intentionally isolate us from the broader trans and queer communtiy should be taken as they are threats to the support systems of vulnerable trans women and femmes

honestly fam i think youve picked the wrong girl ALL of my activism and advocacy is clearly and blatantly repeatedly FOR my fellow transfems my biggest sin in the eye of trfs in fact the reason im red on shinigami eyes is because i ardently and repeatedly support afab transfems who are LITERALLY transfem theres no wrong way to be a trans woman and ill kill on this hill

They even had a transfemme polycule on Crowd Control.

And I don't see the argument of favoring transmascs over transfemmes, when Ally Beardsley had been working at CollegeHumor since 2017 well before they transitioned, and Vic started in 2022, I'm pretty sure also before they started using they pronouns.

“she died because she was kind. she wasn’t even crucified, they dumped her body and burned her papers”

post age? 1h

blog? transfem I’ve distantly admired and wished I had the fucking wherewithal and drive of for ages, fucking obliterated. Gone. no record mo memory just the passed-around echoes of a dead woman’s voice again

and again. And again. And again and again and again

And

And

and

And hey, one more time!

isn’t that nice

Isn’t it swell?

don’t you love to see it?

Golly gee, it sure does feel safer!
