this is genuinely fucking horrifying. I cant believe some of you are in support of people like this. I hope after this its drilled into everyones skull that transandrophobia is real because this is a very clear example of it. Please go report @/truthsoftransandros, they have doxxed several [mostly poc] anti-transandrophobia bloggers. One of them has been confirmed to be fake but one of them is real and the person has deactivated over it. We dont currently know if the others are fake or real. This is absolutely abhorrent.

Earlier I read a post about a trans woman's experience with being alienated from supposedly trans-inclusive spaces, including her own friendships.

I was so close to reblogging it-- I'd been in the process of adding tags, when a thought occured to me to perhaps check if the OP would have any boundaries against somebody like myself doing do.

At first, the coast looked clear and I felt pretty good about it, but then I saw that OP used the TME/TMA terms in other posts. And so, I ended up not reblogging that one post of hers out of fear of rejection. And I do regret that a little, but..

I don't even touch the transmisogyny tag section even though I do want to learn more about those experiences, because the tag contains so much hatred and disdain for transmascs that it would indubitably take a toll on my mental health. Like, not even vents about transmisogyny, just, "I hate TMEs so much, where is that laser that kills them all?"

This feeling of disconnection makes me feel horribly guilty, among other things, but I don't know. I don't.

1. I see a post about how transfems need to make a point to sound non-threatening at all times

2. I find it relatable in the sense that I'm a fem person with a "threatening" voice and I'm really fucking bad at doing that and I understand why it's something that you need to do (constant social punishment, slurs, etc)

3. I rb the post because its a good post, and I leave a comment about how I find it relatable

4. Get this response

Why am I even here anymore?

Like seriously every single goddamn thing I do and say on this app is interpreted in the literal worst way imaginable 100% of the time. And fucking why? How dare I relate to other sex variant/queer people, how dare I. Invader, imposter, how dare I look for community from perisex people. Why do I even try.

(Do not harass OOP-- that will do nothing but create a further wedge-- just block it.)

And in the comments there was stuff like, "Our holy uterus, their wretched phallus." There was also somebody in the reblogs who expressed shock, as they thought "no uterus, no opinion" applied to abortion rights, which it literally does.

Just... holy misconstruing, Batman. I wanted to believe that the OOP's statements were satire, but alas. This discourse is covered in mold.

TERFs, if you were not aware, absolutely loathe when people are at all outside "biologically-determined" sex-gender binaries. Literally a day ago, I reblogged a post from an intersex blogger about TERFs being possessed by the spirit of Hitler after they fail to categorize said blogger as a male or a female.

Fighting against the abolishment of the long-held concept of sex characteristics equating to one's identity is bioessentialism, and it helps TERFs. I don't think any TERF would ever unironically prefer, "no uterus, no opinion," because they believe that one's body parts are what determines their gender, unable to see how dehumanizing that is.

A pericisnormative society's healthcare system, divided into these binaries, is not made for anybody who doesn't fit their mold. It struggles and groans when met with somebody who doesn't.

When a cancer that has been deemed "man-only" falls upon somebody who doesn't identify as a man, an uncaring "men's healthcare" is going to let that cancer kill them.

When an unwanted pregnancy falls upon somebody who doesn't identify as a woman, an uncaring "women's healthcare" will force them to carry that pregnancy.

Hell, w healthcare system that runs on these binaries isn't even helpful for people who identify with their AGAB and have no known intersex variations. Because what if that changes?

it does not matter if you think it’s “badly prioritized,” most people are going to see the bigotry that they face as their number one priority. they will not throw in with people who mock and demean and belittle their concerns, who say they are jumping at shadows, and why should they?

[sagegreenyaps]

In 2021, my country debated on a law to open medically assisted procreation to women couples and single mothers. When it was debated we asked for it to broaden the conditions to include trans men and transmascs since the only mention of women excluded whose who had changed their gender markers.

We were consistently told by cis and trans women alike to stop making reproductive rights about men, that it was their fight.

The law passed. And we celebrated, and they celebrated, and we held back tears, we'd never be fathers.

In 2024, my country debated on putting abortion in the constitution.

The minister of families received 2 renowned TERFs and tried to change the law go forbid professionnals to refuse an abortion to "women", so trans men whose gender markers were changed could be denied. And we fought, and we fought for the definition to be changed and we won, and we celebrated in

Deafening silence.

“If men could be pregnant it’d be in the constitution already !”

If only you knew.

After I got assaulted, I wanted to take a self defense lesson.

They were “cis and trans women only”, because a man like me shouldn't know how to hit. I went to the gym and I punched a dummy until my knuckles turned purple.

I got a sleep exam. Under anesthesia, the doctor asked me if he should say “sir or ma’am”. I’m tied up on the bed. I asked him to say “sir”. He tells me “I guessed so, you’re such a pretty boy” and he stroke my arm. I want to scream and cry. When I recall the scene to people I'm stealth with, they say I just dreamed, he wouldn't do that, I'm a man. I'm a hysterical woman with extra steps.

I catter to my wounds alone and I wonder

If I got to the point of being hatecrimed

If people would argue on my grave

For it to be called

A feminicide.

If you're intersex and you ever successfully convince a TERF you aren't a "male with a DSD" or a "female with a DSD" and are neither male or female; you haven't actually 'won' the argument and you're not going to change their minds about their awful ideas on sex variance.

When radfems realize they can't categorize you into their precious sex binary they seem to suddenly be possessed by the ghost of Adolf Hitler and start telling you that you weren't supposed to exist. All you've really done is send them into a eugenicist rage where they tell you that you're so deformed you're practically not human. It's happened a few times now!

In hindsight, with search engines becoming so much harder to use (so that they could better cater to their sponsors), we really should've anticipated people being so reliant on AI to navigate the internet for them.

Generative AI wasn't the killer of internet literacy, it was the coffin. Censorship and a loss of data privacy are the hammer and nails, prepared way before the sealing.

So... OOP really just fights trans people for putting words to their own oppression, which OOP even admits is unique to queer men, and then says, "The conservatives want trans people to fight!"

I genuinely think I've seen freshwater fish with more self-awareness than that. Ask me about the freshwater fish, they're cool. I'll even turn back on anon asks...

OHHH MY GOD THE CLOUT CHASING ON THIS ONE HAS ME HOOTING AND HOLLERING

[sagegreenyaps]

Sort of curious regarding this one trend I've been noticing: why the hell are so many androqueerphobes also tankies?

Particularly, Marxist-Leninists of the "free-speech censorship is a good thing, actually" variety.

I don't like taking assumptious leaps like some conspiracy theorist, so I'm not going to pull out the red string and thumbtacks about this, but it is something I've picked up on, and I find it a tad odd.

[sagegreenyaps]

I am so tired of the idea that you need other people's consent to literally just exist in their presence, or to exist at all if you have a 'contradictory' queer identity. I'm sick of the idea that someone with a "normal" label is more qualified than you are to determine whether or not you belong.

If someone is not pushing boundaries, hurting people, saying insensitive shit, being offensive, etc, you have literally no right to exclude them from that space. And if they are doing those things? You exclude them for the harm they cause as an individual, not because they used the wrong words to explain how they feel about their gender/orientation.

If you see someone with a "confusing" identity, you assume good intentions until proven otherwise. It's better to show initial undeserved kindness to a cishet troll/chaser than vitriolic hostility towards an actual queer person looking for community.

If you are "uncomfortable" just because you don't agree with a person's labels/identity, you can kindly fuck off and hang out with the cishets who make a face when they see a visibly trans person in public.

Something that gets left out of discussions about the US’s history with Israel and support for Zionism is that the US supported Israel because they didn’t want Jewish people in the US. That is a fundamental thing at the center of the US’s historical support for establishment of the state of Israel. There was a huge wave of Jewish immigrants from Europe to America during the late 19th and early 20th century because of the political unrest and rising antisemitism in Europe. This caused a rise in antisemitism in the US with prominent figures like Henry Ford spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories. The US restricted policies that would allow Jewish refugees to relocate to the US to escape Hitler’s regime between 1938 and 1941. The US support of Israel was because the US was antisemitic and not because they had so much sympathy for the persecution of Jewish people that they wanted to create a ‘safe homeland’ for them. They wanted them to go anywhere BUT the US.

HUGE hater of the people who feel the need to point out something MAY be a kink thing anytime another person responds positively..

"you like that fursuit? well actually it could be a kink thing for the person :/ wait what do you mean you dont care & you're just enjoying a cute furry video???"

like I promise y'all, nobody wants your morally panicked rant about how evil sex is and how we should attack anybody who we think MAY be being sexual..

[sagegreenyaps]

people who attack transmascs for speaking about transmasc issues generally use the argument that the community is transmisogynist. and while this is not the case for the majority and not in any way a valid excuse to silence us, like any community, we do have bad actors and i feel it’s important to call it out when i see it, otherwise i would feel hypocritical

transfems/ women are not uniquely capable of discrimination against transmascs/ men. most of the worst discrimination i’ve faced as a trans man has been perpetrated by cis people.

i am saying this bc i saw someone today stating that transmedical ideology is something that is especially perpetuated by transfems and that’s just simply not the case. one of the biggest faces of the transmed community in recent internet history was a trans man (kalvin garrah). anyone is capable of spreading transmed ideology, it’s not unique to transfems. you can criticise an ideology without pinning it on a singular group.

if you spread any idea that creates divide in the trans community i am absolutely going to call it out and i will not align myself with you. trans people should be allies to each other always

Everytime one of these "protect women and girls" orgs go viral for doing something evil I like to take a look through their "wins" and see if they've ever helped protect even one single living woman or girl.

Collective Shout has:

Gotten a hotel to cancel a legal-aged porn star's reservation

Gotten a venue to cancel a Playboy Bunny themed party - again, attended by only adults

Pressured the Breast Cancer Foundation to pull ads that they found too sexy

got ads for a sex doll company removed because they felt the dolls resembled children

Got a beer coozy that had pinups of adult women printed on them discontinued.

Got an H&M ad pulled for back to school clothes for saying "Turn Heads"

Got Tyler the Creator banned from performing in New Zealand

I'm still scrolling and I have yet to see a single instance of a real, living woman or girl being protected by any one of their actions. They have on multiple occasions punished real, adult women for the audacity to be naked in some capacity they find distasteful.

Adding to this that they have lobbied to get a real pedophile released AND supported Cuties, which objectified and exploited real living children.

My main point is not that you have to love any of the things above, you can even hate them and wish they didn't exist. but they were able to dismantle the entire games industry and set a dark precedent regarding banks deciding who is morally good enough to spend money - and they aren't even helping any real women or girls in the process.

Oooh, shit. Yep, and also this reminds me of something: sometimes I'll be reading the posts of "trans-ally" transandrophobes, and very quickly, I noticed how they (especially the cis ones) differentiate between binary trans people they respect, and the binary trans people that they don't.

When talking about trans people whose transitions they respect, they are very diligent in reminding their audience about how said people are trans. Then, when it comes to trans people they dislike (and would often prefer they shut up and/or de-transition), they let the audience forget said people are trans, maybe just mentioning it once at the very beginning of the post. Generally because they don't feel it's at all important.

This phenomenon is almost reminiscent of how alt-right assholes have no problem saying "men," but tend to pop a blood vessel when they try to say anything but "females" and "girls."

Anyways, it's always a coin toss as to what kind of treatment non-binary people get from them. Sometimes they are sorted into categories of "transfems and transmascs," sometimes they just get labelled "TMEs," and other times they are straight-up referred to as "transtrenders" or "theyfabs" (because everybody knows somebody AMAB would never be non-binary, nooo... /sarcasm.)

I have yet to see one "trans-ally" bioessentialist acknowledge non-binary people while recognizing them as valid and also recognizing that not all non-binary people are feminine or masculine (some aren't even transneutral; they just are). Almost feels like it would shatter their whole worldview if they did those things.

You can’t pretend to be trans-supportive by calling us men but then completely erasing the trans part from our identity just so you can lump us into the same category as our oppressor. This should not be a hard concept to figure out but I’m getting real fucking tired of seeing posts saying “I wish men would stop making posts about feminism and trans issues about them” when we all know you’re referring to trans men. Who are trans. And belong in these conversations too.
