#and then I go and read books from the 80s about transfem disposability

I’ve been a part of IRL queer and trans communities for almost 15 years, and I’ve watched every single one those remorselessly communities chew up and spit out transfems. None of them ever having been able to keep a transfem around for more than a year without getting a “bad vibe.” They’ve all kicked people with no other safety net to the curb, completely cutting them off from any of the benefits of an accepting community. Every transfem I know is either dead or living in poverty with no lifeline besides, perhaps, an extremely unhealthy tgirl skyrim house. Trans guys are just as quick to engage in this type of behavior as cis people! It’s like. Insane to me that I’m getting called delusional over this, I’ve watched this exact thing play out dozens of times. It’s happened to me and every transfem I’ve ever known IRL multiple times. Like. Everyone knows about the tranny hovels. Where do you think that comes from if not from the community widely excluding and discriminating against us? That’s not a situation that happens unless you have literally no where else to go. How do you think we would end up in such uniquely precarious situations if there were not power to leverage over us?
#Like yeah some of my posts about this have been a little emotional#but I have a lot of lived experiences to back this up#and then I go and read books from the 80s about transfem disposability#and find that the exact same thing was happening decades ago too#and despite all that!#I still have hope we will eventually be able to see that excluding our own is bad for all of us#because to be clear here the side that insists this is lateral aggression is the exclusionary side
