Being impacted by severe harm isnt anything “wrong with me”, life altering events changing you fundamentally is a no brainer considering.

Like I could be on the ace spectrum due to trauma and that should be fine and NOT grounds to say that there was something “wrong with me” as a point of invalidation to me or anyone else.

Cause thats just really fucking rude imo.

I’ve recently been informed that not only has my mother been keeping a list of the stupid shit I say when things hit the fan- she has now brought them to work and spread them amongst the company, and they now refer to these as “me”-isms

A Minnesota teenager filed a charge of discrimination against a Buffalo Wild Wings restaurant Tuesday, alleging a server followed her into the women’s restroom and demanded she “prove” she was a girl.

Gerika Mudra, 18, went to dinner in April with a friend in Owatonna, about an hour south of Minneapolis. When she went to the restroom, a server followed her inside and banged on the stall door while saying: “This is a women’s restroom. The man needs to get out of here,” according to Gender Justice, a Minnesota gender-equality organization that filed the charge on Mudra’s behalf.

Something that's happening wrt the transandrophobia tags and the conversation around that, which makes me both incredibly frustrated and upset, is that every single day it skews more and more toward pointless discourse rather than actual discussion of transmasc issues and contributions to theory.

When I first started engaging in theory around transandrophobia, this absolutely wasn't the case. The backlash against it wasn't justified whatsoever; people were really just trying to talk about their issues and put a spotlight on the erasure we face. But now I'm starting to see actual harmful things people are spreading (by both detractors of transandrophobia and those that support the theory). There's more radfems popping up faster than I can block them.

And it sucks, and the part that hurts the most is that this means the bigots have won. They have successfully stopped us from taking about our real material issues with language we want, they've obfuscated the discussion so incredibly well that the only thing that is happening is the discussion around the discussion, which feeds into a self-fulfilling loop of "see, these people are just talking about how much they hate trans women" because that is where these people have intentionally pushed the conversation.

Anyway, if you, like me, are sick of this petty shit and want an actual place to continue to constructively discuss transandrophobia and anti-transmasculinity, I've got a discord server for that purpose. A few of us are even trying to construct our own framework and theory around where transmascs and trans men fit into feminism, with the goal of writing about that.

We sometimes have weekly discussion topics, and we have a book club as well. We also have lists of resources with free download links.

DM me for the link. TMOC and people not in Northern America & the UK strongly encouraged to join (but not exclusive). People who aren't transmasc/trans men are also welcome as long as it's understood the server isn't necessarily about them
