“you don’t like the proliferation of terms like Unalive outside of TikTok because you realize that you’re aging out of youth culture and it makes you uncomfortable!”
no I don’t like it because there’s something INCREDIBLY dystopian about being forced to soften terms for basic parts of the human experience like death and sex (and even more so terms for oppressed minorities- call me a “le-dollar sign-bian” and I will bite you) purely because advertisers and corporations demand it

It’s been mere days on Tumblr, and already I write down my every thought. Truly, I engage the machine as was intended.
Anyway, I am here to discuss my stance on TME/TMA as an intersex person, understand going into this that there will be discussions of transmisogyny and intersexism, but I don’t plan to get too in detail about uncomfortable topics.
Let it be known, I am not a trans woman, nor am I transfeminine. I do not claim any experience of transfemininity. That said, I am also not a trans man, nor transmasculine. I do not claim either of these.
I am a genderqueer intersex person, and I present to the world as such.
Moving on: I find the labels of TME and TMA to have been made with the dyadic/perisex population in mind, and with “intersex people fit one or the other” slapped on after.
Firstly, TME/TMA largely ignores the immense overlap of transmisogyny and intersexism. Acts committed from a place of transmisogyny or intersexism are going to be very similar, as in many cases, the view of intersex bodies is similar to that of trans women: We are viewed as an inherent threat to dyadic and cisgender people, because our bodies are not acceptable or normal enough for them. It is not the same kind of “passive” discrimination that differentiates transphobia from transmisogyny. Hatred of intersex people is consistently violent and extreme.
I have absolutely experienced transmisogyny. I was never able to present as a cisgender woman, because the concept of “cisgender” is inherently based in dyadic views of sex.
On the other hand, there are many aspects of transmisogyny that I have never experienced, and I likely never will.
I would never identify as TMA. I don’t feel comfortable using a label that primarily creates a sex binary with extra steps. Similarly, TME would be inaccurate, so I wouldn’t use that either.
Creating a dichotomous set of labels based around dyadic experiences of being trans and being cis was never going to translate to the intersex community.
So there you go. Why I choose to opt out of TMA/TME labels. Just accept the fact that I’m intersex, and I speak on experiences I have, and I don’t talk on experiences I don’t have.

ensamble stars fans will doxx people who know nothing about the game for not realizing that one of the characters who looks like all the men is a trans woman and then make cute edits of the other characters that call her the t slur

To start off my epic amazing blog here is the flag I made for a xenogender I'm coining
I'm calling it Formagender, and it's a gender exlusively for transfem and TMA trans people that defines their gender as being feminine in the same way that the Earth is, and in a way that TME people couldn't understand. The blue is for femininity in the ocean and marine life, and the green is for the feminine beauty of forests and nature.
I will not be making a "transmasc version" and I ask that no one else does out of respect.
