|| Bigender transmasc boygirl she/he || This is specifically a feminist blog, I mostly talk about transmascs but will frequently expand to talk about feminism in general
My name is V I’m bigender (transmasculine) and I post a lot about how my identity intersects with misogyny. I believe that I am fully a woman as well as fully a man although I live most of my life as a woman. I could also be classed as genderqueer or androgyne but I don’t call myself that as often.
If you’re going to make a callout post about me at least @ me I love attention
Running list of things I’ve been called because I think it’s funny, if you hate me please feel free to add to this list. All of these come from either TERFs or transmasc targeting transphobes
Middle aged British woman
Most mentally ill trans man
Least obvious transandro
Sock puppet
Deranged psycho
TMRA trying to poison transfeminism
Transmasc Ben Shapiro
Pathetic cisgender woman/fake trans
Terven princess
Bitch (x5), Cunt (x6), Pooner (x3), Slut (x1)
Some more info about me and my beliefs under the cut:
I’m pretty critical of the trans community because it’s my home and I love it. I don’t want us to have to live in a house with broken windows and leaky faucets just because we’re convinced that we can never have anything better. I want better for us. I want us to be safe and happy and I don’t want any of us to be shoved aside as if we don’t matter. Trans liberation should not only be available for white binary trans people who pass. We need more love for trans people of color outside of turning dead Black trans women into saints without ever listening to what they fought for. We need more love for trans people outside of the imperial core, especially those who don’t speak English or who struggle with it. We need more love for intersex people no matter how they identify. We need love for people who, seeking acceptance from a community who is meant to love and care for them, are told that their issues are “too complicated” or “derailing the conversation”. To the people on the fringes: I love you.
One thing that’s going to be controversial about me is that I will be referring to myself as female. I don’t believe that it’s useful to me to say I’ve changed my sex or that I’m not deeply affected by the patriarchal, sexist society we live in. I don’t believe this is “self misgendering” as I literally don’t believe that it’s possible to misgender yourself and I also don’t think sex and gender are the same thing. If you, the person reading this, do not identify this way that’s fine but please don’t try to change the way I speak about my body and my oppression because it makes you uncomfortable. I don’t believe that your identity has any impact on mine or my validity and I hope you will extend me the same courtesy.
I do also believe in *some* of the tenets of radical feminism. I mean this with as much emphasis as possible: some. I don’t believe in trans exclusion, I’m not a lesbian separatist, etc etc. What I do believe is that gender is a construct that has mostly been used to create a sexist hierarchical society (think gender roles and stereotypes). In my ideal post-patriarchal world, nobody would be trans in the way that no one would be cis, we would all just use whatever clothes and pronouns we wanted and there would be no hierarchy. I also believe that sex based oppression is real and I don’t think misogyny could exist without it. This does not mean I don’t believe in transmisogyny or that I think all misogyny is sex based.
Another important thing I believe is that we really *really* need to do more to center trans voices outside of the imperial core. White people in the trans community (including myself) also need to stop appropriating language used specifically about racial violence (eg “digital lynching” to refer to blogs getting banned) and language that is hyperbolic to the point of meaninglessness (calling bans on gender affirming care for children in the US “genocide”)
As a last note I’m sincerely uninterested in any discourse that completely ignores misogyny as a monstrous violent force in our world. If I see one more person talk about “AFAB privilege” or say female specific issues like pregnancy, abortion, FGM, menstrual stigma, lack of inclusion in medical studies, child marriage, (I could go on forever) don’t matter as much as what trans people in the US go through I’m going to lose my mind.

"All trans women fetishize the brutalization of AFAB bodies. I'm not a TERF by the way"
Babes do you know how to read? It’s ok if you don’t but if you look at that ask and direct your eyes BELOW the little gray rectangle you will see something called a reply. Usually a dialogue between one or more people involves a difference of opinion, large or small
You answered an ask a while ago recommending some feminist literature to start off with but I can't seem to find it on your blog anymore. Do you have a link to it still?
Yep :D here you go https://www.tumblr.com/trans-masked/811362425066618880/hey-do-you-have-some-good-recommendations-on

I'm the granddaughter of a Romani Holocaust refugee here to say that no, Jews were not the primary target of the Holocaust. We were equal targets. Our genocide was fully successful in that every documented Romani citizen was killed, open racism towards Roma people is practiced openly by businesses and citizens alike to this day, AND we're erased as victims in our own extermination. The Romani middle class does not exist in any country, even a full century later
Also very true especially since the genocide of the Roma people is still very rarely acknowledged
it is so vile to me that whenever I like a post criticizing transmisogyny tumblr immediately assumes i want to see posts degrading trans men. it’s so transmisogynistic to think that anyone who supports trans women hates trans men. genuinely distressing.

Thought this analysis would interest you! About apathy towards forced pregnancy
Yeah it’s frustrating that OOP said they have no power to abuse us in that way… despite the fact that a trans woman absolutely has the ability to impregnate a trans man, forcibly or not
"if you accuse a trans woman of anything I will simply not believe you. by accusing a trans woman of literally anything you will get her harassed by transphobes and that is your fault. and also even if she did the thing by talking about it you're not doing anything about it so it's useless and I hate you."
"what if she's racist? I am a black trans woman and many white trans women are racist."
"you see oversensitive darkie this is exactly why I posted this. she probably has a very human and normal and understandable reason to actively be racist, which is normal for racist people. you can't help if she's racist. unless you are willing to personally put in the work to deprogram her racism why would you want to talk about her being racist? who gave you the authority to do that? what's that? this is actively harmful to you and other people she is being racist to? too bad. by talking about it to warn people or anything kiwifarms will kill her."
The pseudo-religiosity of the conversations around Stonewall are really really weird. You know people who were there are still around and it was a widely written about event. You don’t have to act like trans Jesus came down from Heaven and died on a brick for our sins.
I fear many of us are forgetting that trans men belong to Men (the gender) but not Men (the sociopolitical class) and I think thats an important distinction
Money is a social construct as well but unfortunately when most of a society agrees on something they tend to act in accordance with that agreement.
Gender means different things in different contexts and OP is showing the difference here. In feminist theory, gender is the prescribed roles given to people generally based on sex. It’s often a negative thing in that context, gender roles for example. When trans people talk about gender we tend to mean internal identity which often does not mean the world recognizes it. In a trans sense I am a man because of my internal identity that is not acknowledged by society as a whole. In a feminist sense, because society doesn’t recognize me as a man, I cannot fit into the male class.
I’m getting pretty annoyed by the amount of people who will get mad at me and say shit like “you just think I’m a RAPIST because I have a penis! You’re bigoted against my penis! You’re obsessed with my penis you think it’s the rape organ!!” Like first of all I actually have friends with penises so I can’t be bigoted ☝️ secondly I have literally never said anything close to resembling that but it *is* weird that the worst supposed crime of mine you can think of is that I make false rape accusations lmao

I bring a real 'actually people who are pregnant do deserve some special consideration because they are effectively at least temporarily disabled if not permanently after some complications' vibe to the party that a lot of people don't seem to like
This is real. Also, I had periods for about a decade pre-transition, and those can be debilitating, too, and should be given special consideration if the person having them experiences things like severe pain, heavy bleeding, issues with things like cysts, extreme nausea or fatigue, etc.
Back when I was in university we were asked to do a brief research exercise on a health condition impacting a community. Can't remember what I wanted to look at now, but it was something to do with the trans community.
Whatever it was, to put it this way, if there were 10 studies on the trans community as a whole, there were 3 on trans women and trans fems and 0 on trans men and trans mascs, and 0 on nonbinary people. All of the mixed studies were also pretty much useless for my purposes as well because they were all so lopsided.
I think I swapped to a bunch of different things - addiction rates, smoking, depression, mental health in general - nothing that was even roughly equal in looking at all of us. Trans men, trans mascs and nonbinary people are so under researched as to be nonexistent.
To keep this brief since I've rambled a bunch - this is a major issue health wise since we have not a lot of literature on what testosterone does to certain bodies. This can lead to major health complications, not because of the testosterone itself, but because there might be an interaction thats missed or a complication that's not noticed (which is the same for any medication that's under researched on certain bodies. This is not me scaring people off of hrt, this is me pointing out its a medication like any other.)
#the therapist who wrote my permission slip for hrt was a trans man#and during that appointment we talked about the erasure of trans men from basically everything#and i talked about an article i had read a week or so earlier about trans people and hiv#it very in depth about risks prevention treatment etc#except that it exclusively referenced trans women with a single sentence at the end basically saying 'oh trans men are at risk too'#less than a year later i saw that same therapist speaking at an hiv organization fundraising event#he talked about how he had just recently been diagnosed with hiv#and had to sit there while this doctor told him all about how the treatment options had never been tested on trans men#none of them#they knew that the treatment would work#but not how effective it would be in comparison to its effectiveness in other demographics#no idea what kind of side effects he might experience#how it would interact with his body and his hormones#what the long term effects would be#nothing#he had to sit there while his doctor told him he would have to be a guinea pig but its not like he has a choice#the only alternative is dying from aids#that whole thing was kind of a wake up call for me#and i started paying more attention getting tested regularly myself and all that sruff you're supposed to do#and over time i befriended the person who did most of my testing#they were also trans masc and we would talk about this kind of stuff#and i told them i wanted to get on prep but every doctor i asked had a wildly different answer on if i even could take it#which verison i could take etc#and they said that only one form of prep has been approved fot trans men but its never actually been tested on trans men#and that one version isnt good for long term use because it has some pretty serious side effects long term#and they said that they regularly go to conferences and meet with representatives from all these drug companies#and they ask 'wheres the data on trans men' 'when are you doing clinical studies on trans men'#and the answer#every single time is: we have not done any studies on trans men and we have no intention to ever do studies on trans men#this is not some passive result of trans masc invisibility it is an active act of erasure that needs to be recognized as an act of violence
I fear many of us are forgetting that trans men belong to Men (the gender) but not Men (the sociopolitical class) and I think thats an important distinction
trans men don't post pictures of yourself on the internet and ask if you pass. like nothing good is going to come with that. its not even a good way to see if you pass. just don't do it

They fetishize what happens to "afabs" so much they cant even fathom that its torture! Rape? Hot. Beainwashing and Abuse? Double hot. Pregnancy which can be life ruining and in some cases life ending? Hot AND we cant do it so it's so transmisogynistic to talk about that being a bad thing at all. Being victim blamed for pedophilia? Fantasies all over their blogs.
Every bit of torture we've been subject to our entire lives is their goon fodder so ofc they dont care about what happens to us.
I agree with this but I really would caution you from thinking everyone who’s not a transmasc is like this I know you feel like garbage right now and it’s so hard to fight through all the awfulness but we do have people in our corner
You don’t have to answer this but the person pushing back on the recent ask about the Holocaust is a Polish non Jew who has a history of writing screeds like that whenever anyone says Jews were the primary targets of the Holocaust. Just for some context. (Poland has literally been trying and in some places succeeding in minimising its own guilt during the Holocaust so this rhetoric is quite dangerous)
I kind of figured, I’m not Jewish or Polish so my opinion doesn’t matter in the slightest so I decided not to respond
