transmisogyny isn't simply "the intersection of transphobia and misogyny", this might work as far as a first introduction to the concept but transmisogyny is actually a unique social relation far larger than the sum of its linguistic parts.

"...it's just a word for transphobia faced by transfemmes..." no its a very real social relation, ~misogyny~ that targets transfeminine people, transmisogyny.

I stated a fact. there is no lower point on the gendered oppression pecking order - this is a staple transfeminist sociological fact - this is stated as a way to push against the notion that there could ever be an equal oppression of transmasculine people, as they have privilege over transfeminine people.

the point of having transphobia as a more broad term that includes all trans people is to link those within the trans community to those who have it worst off, the same way homophobia is broad to include gay/bisexual women and men despite there being the issue of misogyny for lesbians; which has us arrive at terms such as lesbophobia but not terms that word put people within that umbrella at odds with those that they can weaponise privielge over, such as homoandrophobia - the notion that gay men experience equal oppression to gay women.

you blocked me before i got to reply to you, which is odd, since, you made an empty claim about me and then proceeded to make sure that nothing could prove you wrong - this is a dangerous form of self isolation and cult like behavior.. any way im just gonna post it here on this unused side blog since it seems like a real pitty to let you hide away like this! however i will not be responding after this. have a nice day.

If transmisogyny is actually the intersection of transphobia and misogyny, that would be something all trans people experience, not just transfemme individuals.

If it's just a word for transphobia faced by transfemmes, then it makes sense for transmascs to have an equivalent word.

If you say transmascs can't use the word transmisogyny to describe their experiences, and essentially just use it to mean transphobia against transfemmes, then it doesn't make any sense to get upset about the word transandrophobia

I didn’t transition to stop being mentally ill I transitioned because being mentally ill is hotter and more fun when you’re a girl

Creating the Transgender Flag

So today I'll be talking about the history and creation of the trans flag! This will probably be a shorter post but still equally as important of course

The transgender flag was originally created by Monica Helms, a trans woman from America, in 1999. She got the idea from Micheal Page who had created the bisexual flag a year earlier. Helms describes the meaning of each stripe in the flag as:

"The stripes at the top and bottom are light blue, the traditional color for baby boys. The stripes next to them are pink, the traditional color for baby girls. The stripe in the middle is white, for those who are intersex, transitioning or consider themselves having a neutral or undefined gender."

- Monica Helms

The original flag (pictured below) was later donated to the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in 2014 by Helms.

Later on, in 2019, Helms published a book in which she expresses shock that her flag design has been adopted so wholeheartedly by the trans community. I'd like to end off this post with that quote.

The speed with which the flag’s usage spread never fails to surprise me, and every time I see it, or a photo of it, flying above a historic town hall or building I am filled with pride.

- Monica Helms

I need to design a dyke pin that's like the classic "don't die wondering" or "anyone can be a lesbian" pins but somehow make it so it's specifically aimed at people who think they are straight men who would be way happier as lesbians

so many of the transfems i know spent their time pre-transition performing a kind of lifelong exercise in self-deprivation. the goal, for them, was to find out exactly how little a person needed to live. they starved themselves, dressed carelessly, shunned friends, and hollowed themselves out so as not to be burdens on anyone but themselves.

i see it now, too, in the girls around me. i'll ask if they want care – a home-cooked meal, relaxed company, sex without the expectation of reciprocation – and they say no, no, thank you, i don't need it; what would you like, what do you want, because in their head they're still doing that awful calculus, still training themselves to disappear in the eyes of the people around them.

i don't think i'd have died without transition – not in the conventional sense, at least – but to take that leap, i had to stop thinking of myself as a human experiment in fuel-efficient living and start nurturing the anemic, atrophied flame of desire in my heart. i had to learn to eat well, to exercise, to style myself beautiful, but harder than that, i had to learn to ask the people around me to work on my behalf in order to enrich my life and give me the things i wanted.

and i did it; i learned. and it was agony, but courage is a muscle you can train, and every day i get better at accepting gifts with the hungry gratitude i never learned in my years and years as a sad, scared, lonely boy.

so be patient with the trans girls in your life. better than that: be proactive, attentive, generous; be forceful, if you have to, and learn to distinguish real discomfort from the terrified reflex of self-deprivation that so many of us learned to rely on.

and if you are so lucky as to love a trans girl, you must insist upon her. you must insist upon her happiness, her comfort, her pleasure, and her rest, because she may still not yet know how to make those demands for herself. if you can devote any amount of energy to becoming an engine that nurtures the flame of even a single tgirl then there is a place for you in trans heaven, which as far as i'm concerned is the only one worth going to
