"radfem leaning" just say you hate trans people with your whole chest and save yourself the self-delusion, jackass

[hellothepixel]

I want to be able to discuss transmisogyny, both to be able to defend myself against it and to help other transfems suffering from it. But if the person talking about it goes out of their way to frame trans men as inherently more privileged than women, or dismiss transandrophobia, then- i have to be weary.

How can I trust that you're being accurate about the bigotry you experience, when you are being dismissive of the bigotry fellow trans people experience?

Truth is that transmasc people suffer a unique blend of transphobia, one that insists they are women and then enacts misogyny upon them based on that assertion. This is transandrophobia. Why shouldn't transmasc people be able to use this label to correctly identify their struggles, as we transfem people use transmisogyny to correctly identify ours?

some of you will really look at a group of people who regularly refer to each other as siblings and have close relationships with each other and are literally genetically identical and go “but it’s not incest because there’s so many of them!” girl there are a great many royals in europe and yet that is very much still incest.

i'm copying the idea of doing @batmanisagatewaydrug's 2025 book bingo from @lesbiansagainsttheatre, here's what we have so far:

-literary fiction: dykette by jenny fran davis. i still don't know if i liked it or not

-short story collection: lake of souls by ann leckie

-childhood favorite: graceling by kristin cashore (AND all 4 sequels, the last of which i hadn't read yet)

-fantasy: the city of brass by s. a. chakraborty & sequels kingdom of copper and empire of gold

anyways. will update this as the year continues. ideally when i read more books that aren't by white women.

Me, who has never engaged in a single bit of Rachel Zegler’s content, ready to fight and die for her when I hear one even relatively negative comment about her:

[pythiaswine]

thinking about how difficult it must have been for Rachel Fawcette [Hamilton] to leave her firstborn behind in order to safely remove herself from Lavien's house. how much it must have eaten her up inside and how there was nothing she could do because her husband owned her and he owned their son and he owned everything that was hers and if she stayed, there's no telling what could have happened to her. And she lost her firstborn son over it, fuck the rest of everything she lost and how people treated her, she had no claims to her son who clearly grew up to resent her for what she, if we think critically for a moment and look at the context and the subtext and hey, let's face it, the TEXT, likely had to do. how women were constantly pitted in the most volatile of situations in those days and how she did the difficult thing and saved herself.

but yeah sure let's reduce her to Whore because that is so much more impactful through a modern lens, like sure let's give her disgusting husband, and every other fucking man throughout history, the glory of successfully making the women they hurt out to be cheating whores. let's tell her son's story by calling his mother a whore every other fuckin song. let's act like "son of a whore" at the end of all things is more of an insult to him than it is to his mother, the so-called whore who clearly had it so bad at Lavien's that she fucking left. do we not realize that by reducing her to that, we let Johann Michael Lavien fucking WIN? i'm sick. so fucking sick to my stomach I hate it here

supporters of queer m/f romance fiction so frequently miss out on the glory of transhets, and especially t4t transhets, which is a shame.

Fine, I'll admit it. With long hair...

He's very attractive. He really is.

But, he's a harebrained trend chaser, who will butcher his good looks for fickle fashion.

He also looks like he should be wearing a kilt, not a cloak. Because of the long red hair, not David's nationality.

I'm trying to phrase this carefully because race/racism and gender/sexism don't function exactly the same (for one thing, I do think that sexism rebounds on men more than racism rebounds on white people) so they can't be exactly equated, but it is interesting to see so many people in progressive circles wringing their hands about how men are only shifting to the right because the left is just so goshdarn mean to them, when a lot of these same people (not all of them, but definitely some of them) would never say that white people are only shifting to the right because the left is just so goshdarn mean to them. To be 100% clear, anyone who says that ~the left~ as an entity should be nicer to white people to stop them from being racist (and there are absolutely plenty of people saying exactly that, but it's not a sentiment that I see often on tumblr specifically), is being ridiculous. It's not the job of people of color to bend over backwards trying to placate people who clearly just hate them...AND it's also not the job of women to bend over backwards trying to placate people who clearly just hate us, and it's frustrating to me when people can understand the former but not the latter.

I feel like people critique minecraft youtube/streaming communities for being predominantly white as if the creators are purposefully excluding people of color and not that we live in a world where content creation is a privilege that not many people of color can afford

This is a we love the Netflix avatar the last airbender blog. I genuinely like the show for what it is, and you won't insult it to me. In. A world with tons and tons of horrible live action stuff, be nice to the few that are genuinely good and have a diverse cast of people of color.
