trantifa butch nation rise!

They suggested to my face, after a series of wildly disrespectful comments, that a better term to describe my social position and axis of oppression, was to say I am a ‘uterus-owner’. Yes, they were dead serious, this was not a troll.

i’m not going to tell you what language to use. that’s putting words in your mouth and undermining your capacity to do your own research and speak for yourself. i will, however, offer correction when i see language being used in a way that’s incorrect and exclusive to a great portion of our community.

This was indisputably a part of transfeminism, and is important as such language would also prevent Healthcare workers and insurance agencies from weaseling their way out of providing necessary Healthcare to someone whose legal documentation lists a gender other than that which is expected in a percisnormative society to need such Healthcare

This was an instance of flattening my identity and experience into genitals, full stop. It’s ok to just accept that some people want to think of people AFAB as being entirely defined by uteruses, and it’s ok to accept that some of us are entitled to not like that

Neither really, say anything about identity or anything like that, they're just statements and descriptors

So while i understand the concerns about language use, the fact is that we’re concerned about language use in the trans community because the language of AGAB is often used as a cover to perpetrate transphobia. Those of us who experience gendered oppression via the axis of AGAB are telling you, that this debate over language use itself is being used by a significant number of people as a cover to perpetrate an equally problematic form of gendered oppression. Gendered oppression via the vector of identity is not the only type of gendered oppression that matters, just in the same way that gendered oppression via the vector of AGAB is not the only type of gendered oppression that matters.

idk, i would personally aim to do better if i were you.

ETA: to clarify: you can say it to a wall because you’re blocked for being gross about defending reducing people AFAB to our uteruses but, technically you can say it, it’s obvious you need to say it really bad for some reason that has everything to do with being a Heroic Protector Of The Vulnerable™ and nothing to do with hating us ‘uterus owners’ who are notoriously not vulnerable 🙄

“being treated as a woman is extremely angering and limiting.”

The cis women in my life were so miserable in their womanhood, I thought that misery was normal. Seeing trans women actually love and fight to be seen as women made me question my own misery
