I love seeing everyone's postscoop Michaels because one will be like: Oh yes this is Michael He healed, And now he has some funny little mouth scars isn't that cute!

And then the next one: This is Michael, he Bleeds 10 gallons of blood every day and all of his Bones are broken. He's a vibrant purple and black agony goop drips out of his mouth every time he tries to feel joy!

Cw: transphobia, bigotry, queer discourse

I was initially gonna sit on fencesit on the transandrophobia thing. Let it sort itself out and be beholden to whatever outcome it gave us, no matter how bitter it would have been. But after a bit of digging, I feel the need to add my two cents. Especially after I found out the person who's spearheading this whole thing has fallen so deep into callout culture they've come to the conclusion that "Kiwifarms is fine, actually, and we need to go return to the good ol' days of the internet." The good ol' days of the internet, of course, being the time when going on harassment campaigns and casual bigotry towards minorities was normalized. Moreso than today.

And well... speaking as someone who lived through this time and participated in it to some degree (the first social media site I used was iFunny during the zenith of internet bigotry. If you know how bad it was/is... yeah...), like, do we really want to follow the words of this kind of person? Someone who goes to great lengths to harass callout others they're willing to be an apologist for fucking Kiwifarms?

So, I must ask my transmasc friends on this site- and I ask these completely in good faith: is your suffering with transfems not the same? Sure it will be worded differently, but the endgoal is still the same. In a transphobic society, such as ours, you're still a freak, a degenerate faking your manhood the same way transfems "fake" their womanhood. Under a patriarchal society, such as ours, you're still a woman trying to reach a mans status and need to be put back into your place. Under both, you're still less than human.

Would it not be more constructive to say that transmascs suffer under the same umbrella of transphobia? Would it not be better to discuss and fight for each other, rather than burn bridges for the sake of transandrophobia?

Let's talk about transandrophobia. And by that I mean let me monologue about my findings browsing the tag and checking related blogs.

For context, most of my (second hand) interactions with it are from additions to the posts of transfeminists where random people antagonize them. Also from knowledge about how a certain user who helped popularize the term and gets referenced on posts about it (and other adjacent pawns) just happens to be a piledriver for callouts that just happen to target trans women. So you will excuse me for being biased and not going into this with a naive mindset.

And I will say that I've engaged with this in significantly more good faith than it deserves. My hope was that perhaps most people using the term were doing it out of ignorance and not malicious intent. I haven't really "counted" or done any actual note taking for this, it's more of a general observation that coalesced over a few days after I did all that digging so numbers are rough estimates and not accurate numbers. I checked about 50 pages on both "latest" and "top" on the tag, aswell as checking the recommended blogs.

Ignoring certain users who use the tag to highlight how absurd the mere concept of it is, since it's just mainly one woman having fun(?) cluttering (neutral) the tag and a few others mocking posts about it; we can roughly put the people who talk about transandrophobia in 3 groups. There is potential for overlap and I reiterate, my good faith is going to skew this toward a more positive vision than reality.

The first group are mostly trans men and a few trans women who would define transandrophobia as transphobia targeted at trans men, which is not at all what the term means nor what its history or actual use is. This group was around 30-40% of the posts, but one has to keep in mind that this was from going over the posts with the tag on their blogs. Posts that would talk about their experiences being the targets of transphobia and calling it transandrophobia.

Not to sound condescending, but getting treated differently to your cis peers (before coming out OR even knowing you are trans), pushback against your transition and toward the closet, bureaucratic hurdles and general hostility to being "the other" is not a transmasc exclusive thing and it's in fact "just" transphobia. Even the supposedly unique to trans men experience of having issues with reproductive health... also happens to trans women, it's the general transphobia of medical professionals. It manifests in different ways, that's it.

Most of the transmascs on this group seem to be under the impression that transandrophobia is an analogous term to transmisogyny that simply describes the targeted transphobia to transmascs and transfems respectively. I understand their posts and it was painful to read many of them, but ultimately what they describe is called transphobia. Most of the (few) transfems on this group were making additions in defense/support of trans men on those same previous posts.

That's as good as it gets though. I really hope the 30-40% estimate is real because the alternative is grim, and as a disclaimer I have (over time) blocked a massive amount of those users who go on posts about transmisogyny to start fights. Those hostile users are very likely to use the tag and be part of the second or third groups, which means that accounting for all the people I've blocked the first group percentage is likely to be <30%.

The second group are cryptoterfs. Or alternatively, people with ideas so bioessentialist that they are indistinguishable from cryptoterfs. I have found only two blogs that were openly "gc" and straight up interacting with open terfs, but many of them had their rethoric and semirelated posts all over and sometimes even the recommended blogs would give it away. Possibly 10% of the tag users belong to this group.

The main giveaway beyond the previous ones seems to be a really transphobic view that what trans men experience as transphobia is really just misogyny. So when they experience that misogyny as trans men it's called transandrophobia. Don't ask me what logic this is, but I've seen it repeated on their blogs so whatever is going on in their brains they seem to commonly agree that trans men are "just" experiencing misogyny. The obvious implication always, always being that trans men are women, a very transphobic idea.

There were some users who are part of the previously mentioned overlap. They will have some posts that tangentially allude at that trans men = women idea but never quite reblog or interact or expand those transphobic views. But they would also be part of the third group.

The third group are transmisogynists. No other way to put it. And I don't mean it in the casual way, we are all kind of transmisogynistic due to society and that's it; I mean it in the openly in opposition to transfeminists and actively spreading hateful and harmful rethoric kind of way. More than half the users of the tag are part of this group.

It's a key difference but a very telling one; where the first group talked about their experiences and how they are affected by transphobia (incorrectly labeling it) the third group engages in reactionary behaviors, always blaming/harassing/critizicing transfeminists posts. It's a genuinely weird feeling to see a post you agree with, along the lines of "men benefit from patriachy" and the "critique" from these users being "how dare these [insert misgendering term] insinuate that trans men are oppressing them".

Reading anything in bad faith, calls for "unity" while at the same reblogging from and interacting with known callout spearheads, honestly shocking hostility to trans women all over their posts and a general very open opposition to any transfeminist theory. Like I was genuinely speechless at some of the posts.

Literally calling random trans women transphobic. Screenshots without context to make it seem like the OP is saying the literal opposite of what she was saying. Congratulatory posts about getting people banned. Straight up callouts.

And I was hoping that the first group would be the majority, with a few bad apples and the expected bad actors.

My conclusion is very simple. Stop using the term transandrophobia. It has no good faith uses, what trans men experience is transphobia since misandry is not a real structural force and misogyny is. Most of its users are hostile to and a danger to trans women in this website, and somehow terf rethoric is generally accepted by them.

Transandrophobia doesn't exist.

Credits to @kot-zl for allowing me into one with other merlins. It's just that I haven't interacted much with that circle as yet, but they seem amazing and I do wanna get to know em all eventually!

So maybe we could all join them? Or make a new one just for us? Idk about anything, but I thought I'd share and hear what you guys have to say. I think it'll make stuff like organizing events like @msbiaxalblanc 's amongus game, and just keeping track of everyone's lore, just easier, yk?

I wanna hear what y'all think of it cause I really want it to happen. ^w^

[sschmendrick]

Have I told you how much I freaking love the qsmp for making people meet who would never have otherwise ? Because I don't think I will ever stop. From the creators enjoying playing together, learning about others cultures, then branching out to play other games with their new international friends, to the communities getting to meet each other, the cultural exchanges between every nationality, the mutual help in understanding other people's languages. This is going to make me cry every time I think about it.

Ya'll need to see this, my friends are so talented holy shit!!!!!!!! @judetuude made this incredible photo machinima revolving around the romance of Agnes Crumplebottom and Erik Darling from Sims 3. Everything about it is so perfect! The atmosphere, the music, the poses, the lighting!!! I can't even deal with it. 😭😍😭😍😭

I'm so inspired right now!!!! I have so many things planned for Rogue Town and this makes me want to do even more.

Sims 3 (and the Sims franchise as a whole) is such a wonderful medium for art like this. I'm so glad that we all have this creative outlet that we can share with each other. 😭😭😭

I don’t wanna hear nothing about how “fandom so small it can fit on a bus”. Fandom so small other people in the fandom can just echolocate your other socials and add you on them without speaking a single word to you.

I got so many frevblr mutuals added on insta and TikTok just because we just echolocated each other.

So…we just all got Isaac fics in our drafts right now??
