Transfeministworld Now

efforts towards a "positive vision of masculinity" or whatever are so funny because what these guys are trying to figure out is literally "what's a way of being a good person that's Not For Girls™"

i think the thing that really stuck with me about this is the way that it frames trans women as cops for having specific words with specific definitions that have arisen out of material analysis rather than what something "feels like." just pure vibes-based reactionary nonsense from the tmras, as per usual. neologisms are a tool of last resort for serious political theorists!

no amount of pretending to be an advanced queer thinker can paper over the fact that you expect trans men to be like women in their sexualities and you expect trans women to be like men in our sexualities. you are not level 100 you're level 1

"you can be anything labels don't mean anything" yadda yadda whatever but why do you always mysteriously seem to apply labels and expectations based on assigned sex? hm?

im a huge fan of trans women

i think trans women should be pandered to in all aspects of life

i love you trans women

i was grazed by a bullet intended for the woman nearby so i’m a murder victim. yeah the bullet hit her in the chest and i’m only grazed but are you telling me that means i’m not a victim of the bullet, just because it wasn’t intended for me? why are you telling me to move out of the way so you can give her life-saving aid i’m literally bleeding from this superficial wound in my arm. i think we need to pay equal attention to ALL victims of this bullet.

The fucking wildest chuds on here are the ones who have gone full conspiracy theory and believe that transfeminists on here are a fucking "CIA psyop to divide the community" like yeah sure bud. The fucking American government is spending time and resources to pretend to be trannies writing 2 digit note discourse posts here on Tumblr dot com, the app famous for everyone outside of it believing it to be dead. Let me guess you also believe all those black bloggers that were banned around the Ferguson Protests were all a Russian psyop as well?

i think telling trans men they're not men in a way that counts is heinously transphobic actually. all these people are obviously transmisogynists as well but atp i'm marking them red for their good old fashioned transphobia too

i've fought cis people who were dear to me for saying shit like this, why should i tolerate it from shitty dudes who, adding insult to injury, aren't just saying it because they're parroting the transphobic background noise of the world rn but to actively deny they benefit from transmisogyny??? fuck all the way off. i'm so tired of people on my asks telling me i should give more grace to ""my community"". these people are not my community and if i could i'd spit on every one of their faces until i died from dehydration

Get out of my notes saying shit like “nuh uh cause male privilege is strictly limited to white cishet wealthy ablebodied business majors with AB negative blood type—“ that is NOT WHAT MALE PRIVILEGE MEANS. You know good and goddamn well that it’s not just the men at the very top who have male privilege. You know that ALL MEN are afforded a degree of privilege over women on the axis of gender. “Privilege” isn’t a dirty word, it’s a fucking tool in your belt you can use to protect your TMA sisters. But some of you are far more interested in bleating about how you Actually Have It Worse For Being A Man. Shut completely up. Go to bat for trans women or die I’m sick of it

"tme/tma is terf shit!!" ah yes. The famous terf talking point of "transmisogyny is real"

my take on the "can trans men be lesbians?" thing is that i would never ever comment on a stranger's identity and i would never tell someone i don't know what they can or can't do but also like. come on. if you're explicitly choosing to be a man you can get mad when women don't want to date you.

if you're going into a space where there are women explicitly saying "I do not want men involved in my romance" and you are actively identifying as a man you cannot get upset when they don't want to date you or are uncomfortable with you being there

i also deeply empathize with every trans femme lesbian who has had to watch her existence debated and been seen as a pervert for loving women see most of the lesbian community go "oh yeah you have a vagina, you have the Unbreakable Woman Bond that means we are connected forever" and get a little frustrated about that

Also: do you think a cis man could be a lesbian without identifying as a woman? if not, and you think trans men can, i think you're just speaking from bioesstentialism and maybe don't really think trans men are fully men in the way cis men are

i'm remembering that trans man/lesbian i knew who was mad the girl he was seeing ID'd as straight its like damn maybe you don't really see yourself as a man.

if you think for even just a second how fucking crazy bonkers it is that women are so frequently kept from being protagonists or important or fully realized characters when its like. That is literally 50% of the world population. Half of all people (more or less. hopefully more as time marches on!) are women. And you look at media and think about how many protagonists are men and their best friends are men and the ensemble cast is 80-100% men and the fandoms are about men and the romances are about men. well. YOU GO INSANE

women are really awesome and theres so many of them oh my god

we are so fucking lucky theres women. we are sooo lucky theres trans women or we'd be fucked forever and ever
