#transmisogny

If you’re not a transfeminist and not actively willing to put in the work to support and uplift trans women and girls and all TMA people, you’re a transmisogynist. Simple as that

This site has been a breeding ground for the growing anti-trans woman/fem sentiment thats taken hold in trans spaces, especially with trans men/masc folks. It's convenient that anti-transfeminity is already the norm, as seen in the exclusion and bad jacketing of trans woman throughout modern queer history, so the folks pushing it can easily rely on tropes about trans women being uppity, distracting, and overly sensitive social justice warriors. We are framed as having no stake in the game past self-identification and if we take our analysis any further than we are lampooned as divisive. I'd like to say I'm surprised but sadly this has been a common trend within queer spaces and culture since the modern gay/lesbian liberation movement began. This is not a niche issue anymore, its one that's actively spilling out into other spaces and influencing the treatment of trans women/transfems.

A trans woman can just say "transmisogyny makes life so much harder for us" and allies will genuinely go "and yet you didn't kill yourself, which disproves the existence of transmisogyny!"

Only AMAB folks can be trans woman / transfem. ftmtf can fuck off trying to grift into a political identity with real implications and not just pick and choose identity time.
