hmmm not a fan of the popularization of the “all cosmetic surgery is gender affirming surgery/cis people get gender affirming procedures too” talking point talking point because it really limits critiques of the cosmetic surgery industry and how it profits off of racist, ageist, antisemitic, fatphobic, and sexist beauty standards. women make up 92% of people who get cosmetic procedures.

The problem is. When I go, "Oh, this system is bullshit" and try to live outside it. My choices are still defined by that system. And that makes me feel really weird.

I saw a post about someone sadly getting terf interaction on their anti-terf post, so I went through some of the names they screenshotted to block some people. I already thought terfs were fucking weird but they are weirder than I thought

Many of the ones I just blocked claimed to be gender abolitionists, but then are obsessed with gender by calling trans women or nonbinary AMABs "men".

They claim that trans people are misogynistic because many do adhere to some typical gender roles (girls wearing dresses and having long hair, boys wearing pants and having short hair), but then turn around and constantly misgender trans people who don't conform to gender roles (masculine AMABs and feminine AFABs). A second thing: they're mad at trans people talking about their awakening by using gender role examples (Ex. Someone putting on their mother's clothes and realizing they're not actually a boy) but also get mad at us if we simply talk about it from a feelings standpoint, that we simply feel like another gender than we were assigned. They start screaming at us and demanding a "better definition" of man and woman

I know terfs are irrational and there's no point in trying to make their arguments make sense, but my goodness, they are more nonsensical than I thought

[little-klng]

I really think society as a whole needs to work on better deradicalization strategies. So far the one that works best for me is "relate [unreasonable hatred] to [thing you both don't like]", sort of like how conflict management works. It's not you vs me, it's you and me vs the problem. If you've got better ideas/strategies/studies drop em lol

[lipstickontheglass1985]

do u ever have a seemingly normal post abt feminism on yr dash and u decide to open the notes and yr like. holy shit why are there so many t*rfs in the notes. and with a feeling of sneaking dread you open ops blog. and sure as hell it is a t*rf. hell world

[buckevantommy]

just had a thought: what if at jkr's next book signing in France or sm people ask her to sign their book to *trans women are women [in French]* or sm and bitch don't know what it means but she signs it for hundreds of people and thinks its weird or whatever and by the time she figures it out it's too late and also all those people she encountered were trans women 📖🏳️‍🌈

Myths about tfems you'll often hear that're actually just anti-transfeminism

Egg jokes are just 'reinventing gender roles'(VERY out of pocket stock phrase to use when talking about transfems btw)and 'telling people you know their gender better than them'.Literally every transfem was an egg once and these jokes are good faith attempts at trying to reassure possible ones and help them crack and save them from possible mental health problems that can straight up escalate into suicide.I've yet to encounter a femme amab person who was actually bothered by egg jokes and if you're a transmasc or tme nonbinary person who feels targeted,then that's a you problem and you need to know when things aren't about you and i don't feel bad for you since you're hurting transfeminine people with harmful rethoric for your own comfort

Trans women don't get periods or can't get pregnant.With specific modes of physical transition,trans women can have biokids and estrogen gives transfems all the symptoms of a period except the blood

F*mboy isn't a slur against trans women and is actually a seperate trans identity.F*mboy dosen't mean femme transmasc or genderqueer,it's a transmisogynistic porn category catered to cis people and transfems are frequently called the fb slur before coming out to degrade their desire for femininity and girlhood as purely sexual and call them 'not real women and just feminine men faking it'.I get where the transmasc confusion comes from but please use another word and as a black trans man i feel no connection to this very white and orientalized asian aesthetic

Transfems don't care about trans men's issues and just hate us.This is a pretty classic spin on the 'hysterical woman' stereotype but with trans added to make it acceptable as 'not real misogyny' for bioessentialism-Tfems speak up for tmascs constantly and on the regular and simply have a backbone about it so it's seen as 'not enough' by transmascs who think they can't misogynistic based on bioessentialism too('i can't be a misogynist,i have a pussy!!!' is the guist).Transandrophobia as a term and concept was coined by a tboy with a corrective rape kink against lesbians so it can't be seperated from misogyny and by extension transmisogyny,especially with transbians in mind.Yes,trans men face a specific special discrimination but that's transmascphobia,not 'misandry',which isn't real and since it's not but transphobia and misogyny both are,transmisogyny is in fact worse than transmascphobia.'Please aknowledge that while we're in this together,you still have privilege over me and should use it to protect me' isn't an insult

Transfeminism and nonbinary identities can't co-exist in the same person.Nonbinary is agab neutral and transfems even coined their own semi-popular xenogender-'Girlthing'.Though it's important to note a lot transfems are uncomfortable with nonbinary labels and terms thanks to the transmisogyny forced onto them to deprive them of binary womanhood,actual nonbinary tfems are very real

Transfems are all rail thin and/or have 'mommy milkers'.While not universal,transfems are often mid-sized/fat and not often finished transitioning and i've seen and heard many of them complaining about how even transfem characters in art don't take the diversity of transfem bodies into account and place unrealistic standards onto them that're pretty reflective of misogynistic apperance standards in general yet treated as an exception somehow(the 'somehow' is these tme artists don't see trans women as a real kind of woman that exists).Not all your transfem depictions should be flatchested,that's a stereotype too and can come with the implication busty transfems are 'shameful' and big boobs on tfem characters is a trademark of tfem nsfw artists atp,but the reverse isn't the way to go

Trans women aren't the primary target of t*rfs.This one is flat-out gaslightning,t*rfs are more obsessed with tfems than anyone else they hate and their ideology may be anti-transgender in general but it has an emphasis on transgender women.This is why they specify 'trans exclusionary r*dical feminist' i.e their focus is women.They hurt trans men,nonbinary people and nonbinary trans men too and that should never be shoved aside but focusing on transfems and transmisogyny in anti-terf talk and action isn't doing that,it's simply tackling the biggest problem at hand and arguing against that is silencing transfems against a hate group created for them foremost and inevertedly opening up to give more power to t*rfs,not less

Trans women are largely white.This is racialized transmisogyny,transmisogynoir,erasure of twoc and plays into the idea being queer is 'white people shit',something baby gays of color are told constantly growing up to invalidate our heritage and discourage us from coming out.There's as many trans women of color and black trans women as there are white ones and you can't choose to not meet them and call yourself an ally

[midwestemokilledmygrandma]

i find the way the conversation around imane khelif is framed really weird like.. she is a biological woman she was literally born a woman, she grew up being told she wasnt allowed to box because she was a girl or that boxing was for boys, she didn't even find out she had XY chromosomes until 2023 (and btw if chromosomes testing was done on everyone so so many people who say "chromosomes = sex" would not have the standard chromosomes for their sex.... because chromosomes do not determine sex ..... people are assigned their sex as birth based on their genitals which is why plenty of intersex people don't find out they are intersex until they start puberty), she lives in a country where it is illegal to transition. there is no universe where she is a trans woman and everyone saying so looks stupid. Also obviously she is an incredibly good boxer she literally won a gold medal but she's not like. ridiculously better or particularly advantaged over people playing at the same level, she lost 9 fights to other boxers during the paris olympics alone.

She was defamed by notorious t*rfs and transphobes online, notably elon musk and jk rowling, two people incredibly famous for sitting on their piles of money and chatting shit about people with far more talent and skill than they will ever have in their lives and I hope imane khelif wins the lawsuit because this is an issue of racism, misogyny and transphobia

but people keep saying "she's a biological woman she doesn't deserve the hate and bullying" and like. obviously not. but 1000% a lot of the people supporting her would not support her if she WAS trans and will never give the same support and kindness to trans people being bullied and slandered as they would for cis people...

giving "only anti transphobia when it happens to people who don't deserve it (cis) rather that people who do (trans)" but like who gaf about trans woman in sport (ik who does obviously but... u r dumb)

[capnsoapy]

honestly it's amazing how quickly the BBC et al have had to u-turn over Kate Forbes already

she's a candidate to replace Sturgeon as the first minister, and she came out the gate in the leadership contest as expressly anti-trans. so the british media has just been falling over themselves to hype her up to be scotland's transphobe-in-chief

and now they're having to backtrack on all of that because she's just being like OH and i'm homophobic OH and pro life OH and i hate nonchristians and OH i disapprove of sex outside marriage etc etc etc and the media are all having to be like "ooh noo we love t*rfs but homophobes are bad! we promise there's no overlap between trans hatred and other hate groups ever definitely (except for always)"

[shaingles]

This post might come off out of left field, since it’s unrelated to what I usually post, but i need to scream into the void.

• Transmisogyny is a term for trans women/fems. Not trans men or trans mascs. Trans women and trans fems.

Idk why, but I’m seeing an influx of people (mostly on tiktok) trying to convince trans men/mascs that bigotry uniquely targeted towards us is called either “regular transphobia,” “regular misogyny,” or “transmisogyny,” usually in response to a trans man/masc refereeing to it as transandrophobia or anti-transmasculinity. Additionally I’ve seen people try to say that “transandrophobia/Anti-transmasculinity doesn’t exist” because “trans women/fems have it worse.” Tiktok commenters are good at one thing, and it’s being LOUD AND WRONG !!! And its always cis “allies” doing this. Why are we pitting trans people against each other hello??

• Anti-transmasculinity exists, and we are presented with it constantly. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize that trans men/mascs are treated differently from trans women/fem—and no, it’s not trans men/mascs being “more privileged,” because we’re not. The victimization and infantilization of trans men/mascs (“confused young girls” rhetoric) is a good example of Anti-transmasculinity. Another is r*dfems/t*rfs calling us “gender traitors” and saying we “hating ourselves.” Being treated as a fetish, while affecting all trans people, varies differently depending on the group targeted, like how black people are fetishized, but black women are fetishized differently from black men. Ergo, trans men/mascs face a unique kind of fetishization (mostly from cis men) that differs from trans women/fems. With these few examples in mind, this leads to my next point…

• Trans men/mascs are NOT Cis men!

Why are so many people so willing to ignore/dismiss trans-masculinity struggles just because trans-masculinity just so happen to include men?? Why are trans men being treated the same way as cis men?? Did y’all forget the TRANS part in TRANS men??

Just because a trans man is a man, doesn’t mean he suddenly gains male privilege, especially if he’s openly queer or don’t fit conventional gender norms. The only ones that do are the ones that pass, and not every trans man is a cishet-passing individual. It’s even more egregious when the target is a white trans man/masc, because suddenly people forget that trans men/mascs of color don’t exist, and when they do remember us they act like trans men/mascs of color have the same “privileges” as white trans men/mascs, or even cis white men because “male privilage” and/or “AFAB privilege (???)” im sorry, what???

Im a pre-t & pre-op black transmasc, I don’t recall gaining the privilege of a cis white man just because i go by he/they 🤔 I must’ve missed the update or something.

Anywho to sign this off: These are probably uninformed children or trolls causing an unnecessary divide between the community + its tiktok + it’s better to battle transphobia/transmisogyny/anti-transmasculinity irl than online, so honestly I shouldn’t let these obtuse things get to me. I’m just putting this here to get it out my brain.

[pippenpaddlopsicopolisthethird]

My hot take that i know tumblr will not believe is that, in the USA especially, it is not common knowledge in real life that JK Rowling and by extension Harry Potter are symbols of severe anti-transgender sentiment. You have to be moderately to severely Online or deep in activism circles to know that. Almost everyone here has been an active Tumblr and/or Twitter user for years, which means that you, dear reader, are multiple orders of magnitude more Online AND significantly deeper in activism circles than almost anyone you'll pass on the street.

Just in the past two weeks I've met professional psychologists, doctoral candidates in counseling, inclusive medical providers, and a good handful more otherwise-accepting professionals who didn't bat an eye when brief HP references were casually mentioned in conversation. These are the type of people who apologize and correct themselves for saying "homeless" instead of "unhoused", but then joke about which Hogwarts House they would be in. This is absolutely a "non-geologists all know the chemical structure of quartz" type of issue.

Understand that I'm not trying to minimize the harm that Rowling, her ideology, her cultish followers, or her newer works have caused. Honestly I just kind of hope that this makes some of y'all feel better as you go into the world and see casual mentions of HP. Most people out in the brick-and-mortar world genuinely aren't attaching an ideology onto their memories of an old book series. Most people you pass on the street or in a store aren't using HP merch to mean they want to hurt you. Assume ignorance instead of malice until proven otherwise.

(T*rfs blocked on sight. They've chosen malice.)

Context, always the context

After we had gagging fun - and some, a small and unjustified heartbreak, too - with the newest 🎪 pic, let's put it a bit in context. I confess I am more and more immune to these: they are aimed at this fandom, of course - just to fuel further web wars and talks: never forget Xmas is round the corner, too. But they are also aimed at the Casuals, who still can't place McIdiot on her map and do not really care, to be honest.

So, what exactly do we have, here?

This:

After more than ten years in showbiz, our C still needs a pointer to tell ignoramuses like me where exactly she is, on that picture?

How odd. How unfair. But let's imagine I am from Mars. I have no idea who these people are, including to each other. The legend tells me nothing: just C and T and zero details. They could very well be co-workers, acquaintances, friends...? Oh, she's married to him. Oh. Ok. For sure, they ooze bliss and happiness. For sure. I've seen broomsticks act more convincingly than this.

Also, the photographer. As a very trusted friend pointed out (thank you, forever indebted to you), this Bennett guy was all over the place, yesterday. According to Getty Images (https://www.gettyimages.co.uk/search/photographer?photographer=Dave%20Benett&assettype=image&sort=best&license=rf%2Crm), he attended at least seven other high profile London events yesterday and was paid to cover them, too.

Their list immediately places this minor happening in its right context and at its right place:

"Leave The World Behind" - UK Special Screening and afterparty. The one she attended with McIdiot.

Hackett London x David Gandy Wellwear Launch Party - Savile Row tailors, established in 1983. Huge success story from a humble Portobello Road clothes stall to a 160 shops global network and a part of LVMH group (remember? LOL). The one she did not attend with McIdiot.

"Femme" - Gala Screening - After Party - UK thriller, premiered at the Berlinale last spring. Will be released tomorrow in the UK and IE. 95% approval rate on Rotten Tomatoes. The one she did not attend with McIdiot.

Skye McAlpine Celebrates The Opening Of Tavola's Christmas Pop-Up Shop, in Knightsbridge (along with Fitzrovia, my favorite London spot). Tavola is a high end tableware collection, carefully curated by Skye McAlpine - celebrated British cookbook author and an expert in Italian cuisine and fine dining. You should think two gin entrepreneurs would be thrilled to meet her, at another event she did not attend with McIdiot.

A Reception By The All Party Parliamentary Group Honouring Elton John For His Dedication To The Global Fight Against HIV AIDS. No further comments needed for this very, very posh event she did not attend with McIdiot. I doubt she has this type of connections.

The Anti Slavery Collective Inaugural Winter Gala at the Battersea Arts Center in London. Attended by royalty (yeah, ok: Fergie - but also, her two Princess daughters!), aristocrats (Count Nikolai von Bismarck comes to mind), showbiz people (Ed Sheeran - hello?) and of course, the press. But this is another very high profile event she did not attend with McIdiot.

Longines Dolce Vita Exhibition and after party - aimed at the high end luxury crowd. Another event she did not attend with McIdiot.

Smirnoff Celebrates New 'We Do Us' Initiative In Partnership With Tilting The Lens And Sink The Pink. Smirnoff, that legendary vodka which story started in Tsarist Moscow and now continues as part of the behemoth Diageo spirits group. Mhm. Now with an event tailored for the well-heeled LGBT+ and Generation Z crowds, organized in partnership with Tilting the Lens,  Sinéad Burke's consultancy firm with an absolutely spectacular client portfolio, featuring Gucci, Starbucks and -hey, nice to see you! - Soho House. LOL. You would think they could have grabbed a black cab and do anything to at least drop in and say hi. You would think they would be interested to meet with the other, less obvious, partner of this event, Stonegate, a major player on UK's hospitality scene. What a pity this was another event she did not attend with McIdiot!

Make no mistake. London is a real global metropolis. Une ville-monde (a World City), a notion coined by one of my masters, the wonderful French historian Fernand Braudel. As such, it currently stands at the epicenter of all that is trendy, new, exciting and expensive and it offers an endless array of opportunities for the brave and the bold. That was but a very incomplete sample of a Wednesday night on the London scene, busier than usually with all those end of year events. Out of the other seven of this sample, she had a profitable and realistic choice between at least two or three other events. She could have even coupled that after party with at least another one of those, if she had the right network to attract an invitation.

It is also plain to see, by now, TMcG is by no conceivable means the successful, multimillionaire businessman and entrepreneur. He is nowhere to be placed on this very rich, very diverse event scene. He does not attend any events by himself, whereas she carefully attends events all alone and does it very well - wouldn't that be because she has a name in her own right, too? He apparently does nothing, he apparently is Nobody. You should think a successful, multimillionaire, ambitious businessman would be proud to be seen just about everywhere with his up-and-coming actress wife, isn't it?

The sad truth is this clown only makes it to a cursory mention in a Daily Fail picture gallery when dragged along by C. At an event she most probably managed to get an invitation via Rami Malek, her co-star in The Amateur:

That, my friends, is not C playing her Greta Garbo. That is C squandering every shred of sympathy capital she ever managed to acquire, with absurd determination.

But sure, keep on screeching, Stans. Keep on screeching. All of the above are cold, hard FACTS your queens carefully keep out of your reach. God forbid you come to the realization.
