It's interesting how you'll see people (correctly) point out that being oppressed as a trans women doesn't prevent someone from participating in racism, only to then go on and say incredibly transmisogynstic things about "white trans women" and justify it by the racial oppression they personally face. Like on the surface it's an obviously self-defeating argument; if you've already established "suffering from one form of oppression doesn't absolve participation in another" you can't then immediately go ahead and use the bigotry you suffer to negate the bigotry you perform. But I think the key here is that a lot of people don't see "transmisogyny" as a genuine axis of oppression

Like there's a form of rhetoric that's widespread among progressives that (sometimes explicitly but more often implicitly) presents trans women not a type of woman, but in fact a type of degenerate or delusional man that "we" have a moral duty to tolerate and play along with. The second a trans woman does something sufficiently immoral, that obligation of tolerance vanishes and you're free to treat him (I mean them) as the predatory weirdo he (I mean they) is. And even "the good ones" aren't entitled to full respect and humanity; well-behaved trannies just get fewer reminders of how fake their womanhood is. Like people have trouble grasping that "transmisogyny" is a type of misogyny, a type of bigotry as serious as any other, because they don't see "trans woman" as a type of woman

And yes, all this transmisogynistic talk around "white trans women" rhetorically erases the existence of trans women of colour and in material terms does significantly more harm to them than to actual white transfems. That aspect is very important to talk about. But the primary contradiction here is around transmisogyny itself; even if trans women of colour were magically exempt or non-existent it's still a very harmful and reactionary line of thinking. It's not as though misogyny suddenly becomes good when the targets are white women; why should that change because you've pre-fixed it with a "trans"

I've heard on twitter that you've gotten to copyright your new character. Is that true?

i mean.. technically i had copyright the moment i drew it, that's just how copyright works.

(from copyright.gov)

i just registered because of all the unauthorized merch going around, it makes the takedown process quicker. I'm not going around taking down people's posts lol*.

I wasn't expecting people to start tweaking about me saying that I was copyrighting it. I didn't think it was gonna become news(⁉️). now all my replies across my socials are people mad at me about it, because they think I'm going to go after people hopping on a trend. this chill stuff is serious 😮‍💨

*(i mean, unless they were like inflammatory/something I dont want my art to be associated with.)

The thing is about trans headcanons is that transfem headcanons are usually because of the character's theming deeply overlapping with the transfem experience, with things such as like dissociation, depersonilaztion, dehumanization, struggle with femininity/masculinity, social isolation, etc. And transmas headcanons are usually cause like. There's a guy and they like him. Like ultimately both of these should be fine, but guess which one is endlessly picked apart for being "unrealistic" or "unwarranted" or "overdone" or "too generalized" and which one is seen as good in every scenario :)

I've already seen an ugly post going around blaming incoming transgender congress woman Sarah McBride for following the bigoted transphobic rules the republican leader Mike Johnson put in place.

Lets not start with the victim blaming.

Lets not start attacking the trans woman who is being discriminated against by the fascist-majority legislature that she hasn't even had a chance to formally join and start to even attempt to make any positive chances yet, for following the biased and unfair rules at the point of the enforcing cop's gun.

You're not an ally if you share that shit, you're not protecting trans people by attacking one of us for being denied our identity. Representative McBride's job is not to be a martyr for your idea of how a trans woman can be the perfect victim. Her job is not to get arrested before she can even enter congress and give the fascists who already hate her an excuse to deny her the rightfully-elected position as a representative of her state of Delaware.

Stop Blaming the victim. Stop attacking your allies.

Do better.

Genuinely so angry I can't live in the places I grew up because they are fundamentally too expensive for me to go home.

I miss San Diego. I miss Monterey. I miss my home so much every time I go back and visit my parents. But living in the place they live, in the place I grew up, is so wildly expensive that it might as well be Narnia. All I want to do is go home, and I simply can't. There is something fundamentally wrong with the world.
