trans lesbians do not feel safe dating cis women and get a lot of weird objectification from other trans people -> a term is created so trans lesbians can signify they're only wanting to date other trans lesbians or have a preference for that. -> this term slowly gains popularity and people who are not transfem or trans lesbians start using it. -> the discourse begins over those weird trans women who only want to date others like them. isn't that exclusionary? -> as more people learn what t4t is, trans lesbians get pushed out and the discourse continues -> now if you search t4t, you're mostly going to find straight relationships or gay trans guys. trans lesbians are on the fringes. definitely still active, but easier to ignore. -> trans lesbians are portrayed as man hating infighters for being upset by this. of course it was *always* made for everyone, but one part has been minimised. -> fewer people know this was a term made by trans women for trans women.

there's an additional problem where transmisogynistic trans guys will now just use t4t sex as a way to shut up trans women. like this chain of events directly led to genderkoolaid's shtick of "well trans men and women are fucking all the time in the real world, so shut up and pleasure me you stupid whiny bitch". and i think it's okay to be salty over that lol.

it's why the dropout shit is fustrating too. trans women are central to a progressive and diverse comedy scene, and then sam reich sets up a company, takes the credit for this comedy scene and removes all of the trans women. the same way trans women have been removed from nerd hobbies when they go mainstream, like dnd.

weirdly the only thing i can think of to not do this is GDQ, which course corrected in a pretty major way after being called out for exactly that. you can guarantee there will always be trans women attending and speedrunning and being advocated for.

it's a very common form of misogyny that's still difficult to talk about.

2020 was 5 years ago: intuitive, simple, we're in 2025 so that makes sense

it's been 9 years since 2018 and the average age of a child born in 2010 is 20: counterintuitive but somehow true and quite shocking

Idk who needs to hear this but you don't need "signs" to tell you you're a girl. You don't need it to hurt in your guts either. You can just want to try it, and you should.

In retrospect, many of my memories can be analysed as a sign of being trans. But the key point here is "in retrospect". I didn't see any of that before realising I'm a girl. I didn't even feel dysphoria before realising I didn't want to be masculine.

6 months ago, I just thought I was a good ally with every sign of being cis. If you feel like this and you love trans people and think they're so cool and think being trans is really beautiful, maybe just try new pronouns and a name online. No one who matters will be mad at you for doing it.

Had I seen a post like this, I would've figured myself out 3 years earlier

so many scenarios where a magical character wears a glamour 24/7 and then cutely lets down the glamour so their love interest can see their true embarrassing self and their true form has white hair or rainbow eyes or some other fantastic feature. where’s the scenarios where the glamour gives them their white hair and rainbow eyes and their true form is just basic brown and beige

wild that tumblr, a place infamous for transmisogyny among anyone who remotely pays attention, is still basically the only social media in which it’s even possible to have a conversation about transmisogyny in earnest

we make the kinds of trannies we want to keep around dont we? together. all complicit. if your scene is too cool to bring in some bright eyed thing in her thigh highs and her favourite skirt you might as well throw her to the cisbians yourself. poser.

there’s something particularly ghoulish about how so many tme people attack the concept of egg jokes from the angle that they supposedly reinforce gender norms (aside from the fact this is literal terf rhetoric), as if becoming trans was in any way supported by norms as compared to staying cis, and as if their desperate defense of a strangers manhood shoring up an essential masculinity against even a potential for transfemininity isn’t influenced and powered by the same norms they’re trying to bring up to bash transfems

Btw, privatization is stealing from *you.* You are the public in "publicly owned." Oligarchs are coming in to take the things we all share ownership of as Americans, like Medicare, Social Security, National Parks, PBS and scrapping them for parts they find profitable.

The right is planning to rob us and quite literally want us to thank them for the privilege by calling it "government efficiency."

like,,,, I know the answer but do we remember when "t4t" was used by transfems to describe loving other transfems. keeping one another safe from the hateful world around us. do we remember that
