above all else a trans woman is a person. above all else a trans women is a woman who goes to the same grocery store as you and buys fruits in the same grocery cart as you and goes home and eats her dinner the same as you. above all else a trans woman is a woman who dresses like you do and talks the same way you do. above all else a trans woman is a woman who wants to be cared about the same way you want to be cared about and a trans woman is a woman who makes friends the same way you make friends. above all else you should care about trans women because they are people. treat her as such.

That... um.

Aha. Hah. Hahh. Hahhhhhh .

i think the assumption that transfeminism considers closeted trans women as tme kinda misses the whole "transmisogyny affects us wether we transition or not" part of transfeminist analysis

[ankles-be-bitten]

idk, i just feel like if your primary argument against transandrophobia/antitransmasculinity theory is that you think it's transmisogynistic you're not being intellectually honest. who does it hurt when trans men and mascs coin a term to describe the intersection of transphobia and sexism as it most frequently affects them? because it does hurt trans men when they're told that they're not entitled to speak on the discrimination they themselves face.

what I'm hearing from people who oppose the antitransmasculinity movement is that transmisogyny is when trans men talk about their problems 👍, but obviously that's not true. i know that's not true. you know that's not true. so then what is the issue? genuinely, enlighten me. you want trans men to shut up and listen? I'm listening.

people will be confused about trans women forming such tight knit communities and being wary of non-transfem people and suspiciously call us "separatists" and then turn around and participate in a mass harassment campaign against yet another trans woman

[unlimitedbutchworks]

this is the same reason why blatantly transmisogynistic transmasc “ex” terfs and detransitioners are welcomed back to community as well. now sure there’s variables here, like that some people really wanna believe that people can change even if they don’t want to, but these are ultimately still deeply informed by the root issue: that transmisogyny in community is generally seen as gauche or poor form rather than a serious problem that needs to be stood against. this is how you wind up with self described trans positive lesbians still making excuses for and palling around butches who can’t go a day without talking about how female masculinity is at risk from liberal gender ideology; sure they sound bad, but they don’t mean it like that, they’re just, like, being really butch, it’s not that big of a deal. everyone gets second, third, fourth chances and more regardless of what they say or do when it comes to transmisogyny for the simple reason that the majority still struggles to give a shit

[pansyfemme]

everytime i am even mildly critical of transmascs people seem to think i am betraying my own community rather than saying something like ‘if the only queer people you will listen to and relate to have to hold the exact same identity as you, that is an issue, especially if you are a queer man who does not interact with queer women’ which is a pretty. basic statement

[turtleblogatlast]

Something about this kind of swimming getup for characters always immediately gives me transmasc vibes. Blue swim trunks and a tank top? Sorry man my brain already connected the dots. The vibes are there, and they’re not leaving.

Trans girls want me a directly inversely proportional amount to how much my family didn't want me

[spiralling-voids]

I really love headcanons about Gerry being transmasc just because of the implications.

Like

Mary Keay, horrible person, horrible mother.

Gerry had to come out to her

she fully supports her trans child

doesn't misgender or deadname him

puts a him through the Horrors™ instead of a daughter, that's fine

Like it's so funny to me. Yes, she's horrible and abusive but don't even think she could be transphobic. Imagine someone misgenders her son on purpose. Can you imagine how terrifying that would be. She's controlling and trying to make "her Gerard" exactly the kind of heir she wants, but gender is not one of the things to be controlled, that's fine, as long as he carries on with their family legacy.

Plus even aside from transmasc Gerry headcanons she's also really supportive of his hobby and paintings like any mother and that's actually super funny now that I think about it. Just. Yeah she's messed up in so many interesting ways

You know, after the initial shock of everything, I am being so strongly pulled to radical hope

They want to break me, they want to break us. So don't let them. make a cup of hot chocolate. Eat that cookie that's a little *too* sugary. You are a wonderful creature worthy of love and whimsy.

We will get through this. We will persist. This fire cannot be stomped out, not while the flint of human life keeps hitting the steel. Not while people are still being fed to the fire of this world.

Let it be the fire of the hearth, not one of a dumpster.

at this point i don’t even have any commentary to add to this. i’m just tired.
