crazy to me how some people think conversion torture/forced detransition is actually a privilege when it happens to trans men/mascs
I'm so over self described "TME" folks, who are beyond white, making posts either:
- "We are less oppressed bc (makes up a person of color), is more oppressed so tmes- (proceeds to be transphobic) (white savior moment)
- Wishing to commit hate crimes against supposed "TME"s
- Generally being horribly transphobic hiding it behind "protecting trans fems" or "THEYRE WHITE THEY/THEMS" etc
Like you just sound like a toxic asshole. The amount of trans folks who call themselves tme just projecting their insecurities, jealousy, etc. on other trans masculine folks, esp those talking about their own oppression?
They're being transphobic, straight up. Even racist as a treat.
Nobody asks you to do this, it is detrimental and also just plain nasty, like congrats your transition was so easy, you think this is so easy? Sounds like you just want a reason to be nasty and continue to not unlearn internalized everything because you're white and had an ~easy~ time transitioning or whatever.
Somehow there are people on this website who can say “I’m a transfeminist” and also “it’s okay to misgender trans people if they disagree with me” and not realize they’re not really being transfeminist.
Trans friends
This week I
1. Cried
2. Snapped at the wrong people
3. Doom scrolled
4. Stress ate
5. Been angry/scared/depressed/sad/confused
This week I have also
1. Hung out with my best friend
2. Made snacks with some adults and other teens in my community while we talked through our shared fears
3. Danced it out
4. Played with my baby siblings
5. Been hopeful/happy/joyful/embraced community
The next four years are going to be hard. There will be stress, and there will be fear, and there will be uncertainty. There will also be resilience, and community, and love. There will be a hundred thousand tomorrows to come where trans people will continue to exist in the face of everything the world throws at us.
You are not alone. None of us are alone. Reach out to your community, there is always someone who is willing to listen. Find your joy. Make your joy. Just be here, we’re all better off for it.
periodic reminder that if you think one type of trans person is "more oppressed" than another type or if you believe that certain categories of trans people shouldn't have terms to describe their own unique types of oppression i do not want you following my blog. please fuck off immediately
If you claim to support trans rights, but deny transandrophobia, you don't actually support trans rights any more than a TERF supports trans rights.
I kinda love it when bigots act like getting reported and removed from tumblr is such a betrayal and PROOF everyone on the site is out to get them, personally.
No, trust me. You tell trans women to kill themselves, you call trans men and nonbinary people cuntboys and theyfabs, all while harassing other queers you don’t like- getting your blog deleted is the kindest thing you deserve.
Trans transphobes are traitors to the LBGT+ community. Stay away from my brothers and sisters and siblings. We don’t want you here.
Maybe if your blog is gone you’ll spend less time online. Touch some grass. Become a less shitty person.
(I hope it goes without saying, but this is obviously not about the innocent trans women who get randomly deleted from the site because it’s run by raging transmisogynists.)
I love you transwomen. I love you transmen. I love you all trans people who may not be either or. Your right to exist as who you are should not be debated on the political field
i do just want people to be aware that, while "assigned sex at birth" has been widely reclaimed and generalized to general populations, it did not start through personal identification or as a positive term. it was coined between doctors to discuss what sex to surgically and socially assign intersex infants, children, and in some cases, adults. one example of a study using this term is here, mostly inspired by john money [its a heavy read if you decide to open it]. i do just want people to be aware of the history of this term before claiming that it is "coined by the intersex community"—it wasnt, it was forced on us by the medical community.
Thank you so much for the post about why you defend trans men. I literally JUST got another death threat, and seeing that immediately after kept me sane. Thank you so much
I am so sorry you're getting death threats, it blows my mind that people think that it's ok to treat y'all like this.
Please take care of yourself first and foremost, and don't be afraid to take a step back from discourse if you need to.
Hello, here to remind people that this discourse is hurting nonbinary people as well, especially nonbinary transmascs.
Please include your nonbinary siblings in your advocacy, and don’t forget to uplift their voices as well. The assholes calling people “theyfabs” and denying the existence of transandrophobia aren’t just out to get trans men.
Half the posts I see are about "theyfab trender tme they/hes", they hate nonbinary people too.
Trans men are left out of the conversation far too often; please don't repeat the same mistake with a different group.
Nix, They/Them, Queer, 20s Sporadically active.Do not gender me.
