( commissions info ! )

they grew up in the same transmisogynistic society that we did, absorbing many of the same narratives and stereotypes about trans women that taught us to hate ourselves, and the rest of the world to hate us

the concept of transmisogyny is not very widely understood even within queer and trans communities, so they are able to abuse their TME privilege without it looking like that's what they're doing. at best it looks like "infighting" between trans people to onlookers who don't understand the power dynamics at play, and at worst it looks like they're underdogs beating back the scary powerful trannies we were all warned about

very few people understand how disempowering it actually is to be part of a heavily fearmongered-about demographic. any amount of self-advocacy is read as aggression. fearmongering is an incredibly powerful discriminatory tool because it disguises the actual power dynamics, making the disempowered look powerful and justifying their suppression

us speaking up and trying to educate about transmisogyny makes the true power dynamics legible, so they try to shout talk about it down so it still looks like they're winning a fair fight instead of kicking a dog while it's down

their transmisogyny goes unchecked and unquestioned, in part because people think that if you're trans yourself, you're completely trans friendly, and thus cool about trans women too. so if you disproportionately mistreat, exclude, and abuse the trans women in your life, it must just be because they deserved it, instead of because you're a transmisogynist

i… honestly only bought the game because of her.
