it's the unfortunate truth that soft, proto-transandrophobia-theory type ideas are already DEEPLY embedded in general queer spaces

cis queers absolutely LOVE the rhetoric that posits that trans women face oppression in the form of open bigotry, offensive caricature, and being targeted by hate movements, while trans men face a perfectly equal and opposite oppression in the form of erasure, ie, not being targeted by those things as much. as a "theory" of transphobia, it's tailor-made to dissuade you from recognizing transmisogyny as a unique intersection of systemic oppressions, which is, of course, the entire political project of transandrophobia theory

it's entirely lost on them, of course, that this rhetoric perfectly mirrors antifeminist rhetoric popular with cis men. "sure, women have problems but really, don't we ALL have problems? isn't it more progressive to admit that men and women are just different, neither advantaged over the other? isn't the real problem that we don't talk enough about men's unique issues?"

this is especially appealing when applied to trans people because, well, cis queers don't really want to think about us, right? they certainly don't want to have to form opinions about us. it's far easier to go "well, i'm not trans, so i shouldn't speak on that, i'm sure they all have their own problems" than to take a stand against transmisogyny. it even lets you sound rather progressive, doesn't it?

furthermore, it lets you absolve yourself of your potential to engage in transmisogyny. "trans women problems" are confined to the realm of public discourse. you're not a lawmaker or a fox news pundit, so you couldn't possibly contribute to the oppression of trans women. you only have to make sure you aren't being *transphobic,* no further privileges to check, because no other vectors of marginalization are acknowledged

a lack of serious engagement with a theory of transmisogyny is also the source of the poor analysis that leads to "trans women are pushed out of queer spaces because of misandry/hatred of masculinity," an idea that dovetails beautifully with transandrophobia theory

all this to say, the groundwork is beyond laid. an unchallenged status quo will see the further spread and entrenchment of transandrophobia theory in queer spaces, to the detriment of tma people. challenge that status quo. educate yourself. stomp it out when you see it. remember that if you are cis or tme, not taking a stance means signing off on continued violence and harm

I thought I was the one obsessed with potatoes but it turns out that when you point it out people come with 82493 justifications about why potatoes (and it's always just them, even in my other posts few people wanted to talk about say, coffee in space) are always justified actually and you don't need to think about them

noooooooooooooo I don't wanna think about the thousands of years of civilization and culture in the Andes please please please don't make me think about other cultures pleaaaaaase just let me have my knights and wizards noooooooooo

One of the first victims of Epstein to speak out was a Latina transgender girl, Ava Cordero. She was sixteen when she was lured to Epstein’s apartment under the guise of helping her career in modeling. Ava Cordero was mocked, belittled, and denied by the media, her transness somehow overshadowing her status as a victim of assault. The media (Dareh Gregorian and Lucy Carne of the New York Post) specifically somehow spun it as Epstein being a victim of the case and treated her claims as an attempt to defame Epstein. Mind you, the journalists, Epstein’s lawyer (Gerald Lefcourt), and Epstein himself, were able to get away with this specifically because she was a transgender woman.
