#Tw:transphobia

[jumalanpelko]

It is actually complicated cause its like. They dont really care but at the same time they do really care a lot.

(Cw: talking about fictional queerphobia in a fictional cult, this is how these cats see things, not how i see things)

-Cult doesn't really think that She is like "ur queer? Ewwwww". They dont think that being queer is wrong. BUT:

-Colony is very anti having an identity. Not even queer identity just like. How dare you have a self? This is why they don't have names. They dont really think you should think about yourself that much and find something else that isn't their god.

-So like if you are in colony and go "actually i think im a tom cat" they would be like "ooookay mr i dont have time for god i cant be just one of the cats"

-Cult really wants you to have babies especially if you have sun fur. But like they are cats so attraction is rarely part of having kittens, they are just cats, they have kittens to have kittens. So like it is totally normal for queer cats have kittens. Non queer cats also often have kittens with cats they have no feelings for. But there are cats who dont want to and they do get side-eyed.

-If you are like "im gay" cats will be like "ok you'll still have kittens right also ig you dont have time for god mr i like to cat-kiss boys"

-Suncats are afab (unless there was like no suitable afab cats then the god will choose amab cat and be pissy about it) and yes they can be trans but this won't likely be respected, since the cult sees their good as a Girly Pop (note: god cant speak, we dont know if She is really a woman or whats happening) they will most likely ignore suncat's identity.

-all of this "you shouldnt have time to think about yourself" stuff is why none of the cats have canon queer identities. Except for the previous Suncat who is nonbinary/transman (i have not decided)

Ghosty cup angst

tw: transphobia

Backstory: Ghosty cup was created by the devil to become friends with Cuphead and Mugman so they could betray them and give the devil their souls. But Ghosty betrayed the devil instead….

Ghosty went into hiding away from the devil but came back to help Cup and Mugs only to be captured by the devil…..

Ghosty cup is my oc in the cuphead world!!

Ghosty uses they/them pronouns and is non binary

As a black woman, any feminism that treats womanhood as something you can opt into rather than an oppressive social construct that is used to oppress females while empowering males will always fail to meet my needs. When we broaden the definition of "woman" to the point that it doesn't have any bearing in material reality we lose the ability to clearly discuss the ways that women are treated specifically for being female (and while all women are affected by misogyny, a lot of more brutal and repressive forms of oppression tend to affect brown and black women disproportionately).

"Human female" is a clear and useful definition. Is 50% of the population not inclusive enough for you?

You’ve done what no gendercrit in my mentions has done and actually put an effort in an argument so I’ll be more nice than I usually am about this

For one, I just don’t understand how the terf/radfem/whatever ideology is meaningfully conductive to supporting black women. Ignoring the black trans women who get murdered and the response being just to call them men, the racism in the ideology is very specific. Like, I literally saw a tiktok of someone calling Zendaya a secret man and doing skull measurements to prove her point.

Skull measurements of a black women. In the current year. To defeat the evil trans women. Sure.

And I’ve said this before, but any ideology that arbitrarily cuts off womanhood at the point of how “woke” it is (which is a common accusation of trans people) will just end up fucking over black women. After all, it’s already happening.

And another thing: people opt into gender all the time. Gender is social, and we all socially decide our own perception of ourselves and decide our perception of others. Currently, the personal is political, and the radfem answer, like the fascist answer, is to just make some peoples personal too political, to the point of ostracizing them. But the real answer is to build a world where the personal isn’t political at all, because why should it be? Humans created the world the personal lives in, we can create it again. TERFs don’t abolish, let alone answer the questions of gender, they just enforce it in their own placebo-empowering way.

A TERF would tell you upholding personal as political is a meaningful protection of women when it’s really upholding the societal ills that hurt them, noticeably nonwhite women. This is another tie to fascism, and so is the idea that trans “ideology” is throwing out material conditions.

Throwing away the way that we have internalized the personal as political is not rejecting materialism. In fact, it’s refocusing the conversation on material conditions. The trans community’s material conditions, if you haven’t noticed, are fucked. Trans women speaking out against oppression and the right to self actualization is not an attack on cis women’s rights anymore than poor black people speaking out against oppression and the right to self actualization isn’t an attack on poor white people.

There is no zero sum game in this society, only the ones that the oppressor class create for their own gain. TERFs uphold the white supremacist and pro-capitalist idea that rights and support are things that marginalized people have to pry from eachother, denying women the ability to build their own united front against the threats of fascist misogyny and capitalism. Basically, TERF ideology is on the side of the people enacting these systems onto women. In countries where trans people are more accepted, there is no statistical evidence for cis women getting attacked. In fact, the opposite happens.

And let’s be clear, shit like “adult female” is a very poor way to describe women. It’s usually backhanded in its implications against trans people obviously, and the people using that term aren’t sending their best, but let’s ignore that. Let’s just look at it in an entirely descriptive lens. Let’s just look at it as an ability to describe 50% of the population.

Nah.

There’s a lot of good arguments against this but there’s one I prefer.

The issue, however, is not whether we can find some biological property that is acquired by most girls at least roughly at the same time that girls become women. Rather, the issue is whether the possession of any such property is necessarily tied to being a woman. There is reason to think that it is not, for we do not distinguish women from girls on the basis of whether they have reached sexual maturity or full height, or on the basis of whether they have completed puberty or have completed puberty but not too recently, or even on the basis of statistical averages for when any of these biological milestones are reached. That would entail that the age at which a girl becomes a woman is variable in ways that it is not. There is a wide range of ages at which girls complete puberty, but we do not, on that basis, recognize a wide range of ages at which girls become women. Moreover, research suggests that (in the United States) African­ American girls complete puberty, on average, almost a year earlier than white girls, and most girls complete puberty earlier than most boys. However, we do not infer that African­American girls become women almost a year earlier than white girls, or that boys become men later than girls become women. Nor would we take seriously the suggestion that, because historically the average age for the completion of puberty used to be much higher, people used to become men or women much later than they do now. Insofar as we are prepared to recognize variability in the age at which people become women or men, it is typically because we recognize that, cross­culturally or cross­historically, variation in social norms has resulted in variation in the age at which manhood or womanhood is reached. In certain cultures, for example, young teens who pass certain initiation tests are then recognized as men or women. At least many of us are willing to allow that, in those cultures, manhood or womanhood arrives earlier than in our own.

It seems plausible, then, to suppose that, in the sense of “adult” in which one becomes a man or a woman when one reaches adulthood, “adult” denotes a social category. In the United States, for example, we start calling someone a man or woman at the age of 18 or 21 or thereabouts, not because we believe that some biological landmark has been reached within that age range, but rather because of social factors such as the new legal rights and responsibilities that are acquired at those ages and cultural norms about the appropriate minimum age for marriage, independence from one’s parents, etc. This is not to deny that “adult” has one or more biological senses that can be applied to mature human beings no less than to mature chimpanzees, but biological adulthood is certainly not the only factor that we rely on as a basis for distinguishing women from girls. We rely on social factors as well.

If you applied to a lot of concepts the same strict understanding radfems view womanhood, you’d begin to fall apart. People already meme it enough (“A chair is…”) but it’s true.

I’m not typing this much just because I happen to be 🏳️‍⚧️ trans 🏳️‍⚧️ . It’s because the only way to be ideologically consistent in a progressive worldview like mine (Not as a brag, just as a political descriptive.) is to understand the identifier of gender, like other things, as a varied and complex thing with various degrees of human interference & creation, and the path towards revolution does not require the subjugation or oppression of trans people.

I (who is a mostly closeted transfem irl) just got TRIPLE-TEAMED in an argument over whether trans people should use the bathroom for their chosen gender AAAAHHHAHAHHHHH!!!!

[waitingforeddyneddy]

Transphobic shitheads pointing out Simone's exact same features than those fanfic writers who tried to other Kate's characteristics as not beautiful enough?! SOOOOO SURPRISING!!!! How odd that so many people were crying injustice when they were called out for obvious transphobic dog whistles.

The day I decided to “denounce” that disturbing trend in fics is the day I got blocked by half of the fandom, not even when I started to answer why I dislike JB asks.

I don’t give a fuck tho, I would do it again in a heartbeat. No matter how many times they call me a controlling psycho who wants to police writers in the fandom.

And you know what? One of the hardcore defender of the “Kate has a sharp jawline therefore she is the less feminine Sharma sister” wrote a fucking grooming fic in which Anthony is basically a pedo.

It can’t get any fucking lower than this in this fandom full of weirdos

[proteanderg]

A couple of my recent posts have escaped my little bubble lately, and as such a handful of trash people have found them.

So to head this off and be absolutely clear, TERFs, homophobes, and the like are NOT welcome on this blog. You will be blocked on sight, get the hell out.

i was watching sonic the hedgehog 2 with my mom whos been radicalized by youtube and is transphobic, and doesnt know im transfem. she assumed tails was a girl, and when i said hes a boy, she went "oh they do this all the time changing characters gender and race and sexuality for no reaosn."

and when it was revealed tails was in face a boy she literally would not accept it and used female pronouns for miles the entire movie.

anyway this is why i now headcanon tails as transmasc.

If you think that vivziepop or her fans want drag performers and trans people killed, kindly fuck off

[dross-the-fish]

every time I think about tentatively coming out and being public IRL a "friend" or coworker says something intensely transphobic or the religious nuts will pull something threatening The one LGBTQ friendly bar in my area recently had a painted millstone set in front of it, referencing Luke 17:2 a verse that refers to throwing a person who leads children astray into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck

We're a coastal town so this is not an idle threat. The police collected the stone but refused to call it hate speech and instead said they were just classifying it as "litter" and the owner of the stone could come and pick it up if they wanted it back. As long as I blend in I'm safe but part of me is so sick of spending every day hoping I don't do anything to let the mask slip on accident. I feel like I can't get to know anyone because I'm constantly lying to them about who and what I am and I always have to be afraid that seemingly nice people will turn on me if they find out I'm anything but cishet. What will it cost before I can live somewhere and feel like I can actually be safe to be myself?

[sawdust-emperor]

Hey Tumblr what the actual FUCK are you recommending me this for????? What the FUCK. Okay I get your feed works like Google Ads but I was fucking BLOCKING those people, it knows I looked but it doesn't know I fucking blocked them???? Hello???

I've noticed this problem before - it seems to rank these based on time spent viewing, so me dismissing or blocking shit I don't want to see won't necessarily remove it from my For You feed. That was okay when it was shitty poetry or AI art. All I would get for taking the time to block them was more shitty poetry and AI art. This is FUCKING AWFUL. You CANNOT be fucking doing this!! I was BLOCKING THESE PEOPLE. I SPECIFICALLY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE TRANSPHOBIC CONTENT. Are you fucking joking????

[unknownorigins-uo]

currently watching the streamies. only thing that gets more hate in the live chat than a trans person is dream minecraft. life is weird

people annoy me

[tangled-up-in-stardust]

I have seen this, unfortunately very lightly, in the news and it’s disgusting and shameful that not once have I heard or seen anything until I saw this post about how she was a transgender girl and bullied for it. This is a hate crime and all of this seriously needs to be brought to more peoples attention, for her and for others like her who deserve so much better.

One of our siblings was murdered recently, and you need to know about it.

TW // transphobia and violence against trans people

Brianna Ghey was a 16-year-old trans girl from Warrington, England. On Saturday, February 11th 2023, Brianna was found dead on the side of a park with multiple stab wounds. Two 15-year-olds have been taken into custody in connection with her murder.

People in the Warrington area have alleged that Brianna was being bullied in school, and that neither the administration nor the police did anything.

Despite this, local police have said there is no evidence that the attack was hate-based and most news articles don't mention her status as a trans woman. This is deliberate. This is genocide by the hands of transphobes and TERFs.

Britain does not have gender self-identification (your legal gender being determined by how you identify and not any arbitrary medical requirements), meaning even in her death she will be deadnamed and misgendered on her death certificate.

She deserved so much better.

Mourn the dead, and fight like hell for the living.

TW: TRANSPHOBIA

Sometimes i think about an old fight i had with a transphobe and laugh

I talked about how transphobes suddently not care about the "life changing operation on children" when is a 13 to 17 years old girl wanting breast expansions

This dude commented "source?" so i send the source

Then he goes "no about transphobes not caring"

I tell him that the fact that the only people that have written articles against it are doctors and that transphobic politicians that promise to ban "the surgery" never include it and also the fact that there's a 1000000 survers asking people about their opinions on sex reassingment but none asking about the breast one.

So he goes "So you admit to lying abour transphobes not caring" (probably because in his mind the fact that no sourveys were done meant that it disproves it????? Idk) then proceed to tell me to "cope" and to "kys" on the same sentence

Anyways i decide to stop because there's not changing this idiot

The part that makes me laugh is that he probably thinks that "he owned a lib" and "transgenders are no more!"

I hope this dude atleast it's fighting against young girls getting breast augmentation for cosmetics you know since he cared so much about it

Once again anyways the fact that he told me to cope and kill myself on the same comment tickles my funny bone to this day, transphobes are truly the 'triggered"ones
