#cis trans woman

[nonconformityhub]

So I saw you were looking into making queer infographic and as an agender AFAB transfem I would really love to see one on AFAB transfem and AMAB transmasc or at the very least one on AGAB non conforming mainly because it is so hard to explain my identity and find acceptance because people boil my gender down to my sex and my AGAB and like to me sex and gender are not at all the same.

I'd love to do this! Feel free to submit some personal stories in my inbox if you're afab transfem/amab transmasc or some informational things you'd like included :D

theres actually no rules to transitioning and youre allowed to want contradictory things for your transition. it's fine if you only want some of the changes that come with hrt and take preventative measures for the rest (like wanting bottom growth but not body hair or vice versa). you can want to have vagina AND a dick. you can be a woman and want top surgery, or wear a packer. you can be a man and want to have a pussy. you can change your transition goals one or a million times or not have any goals at all and just take things as they come or as they feel right.

there are no rules.

stop being a terf and laugh at a joke good lord

terfs are literally the loudest and most obnoxious about women needing to be tiny and hairless and dainty and childlike and incapable delicate waifs and cisgender and hyperfeminine (and white) to be “real women” because they are reactionary.

Me saying that I find it unfunny and unacceptable to either make or laugh at girl math girl dinner I’m just a girl jokes where the punchline is that women are all tiny delicate incapable little waif-children because those jokes are reactionary IS me being a buzzkill. I don’t find that reactionary shit funny and I won’t let anyone else around me find it funny either. That punchline and what it communicates about women is especially harmful to trans women and transfemmes. Me being a buzzkill about this is NOT me being a TERF and I think you’re nasty for putting that shit on me.

“Yeah, so like I’m actually a trans man! Uh, I finally worked up the courage to tell you, so yeah…”

“Ewww… why would anyone choose to be a man? KAM! Like you have the choice to be a WOMAN and you CHOSE to be a man?????”

“Huh? You’ve always said you’re a trans ally. Some of our other friends are trans. Why would you-”

“Are you trying to say I’m transphobic? I acknowledged that you’re a man!”

"egg prime directive" is transmisogynistic bullshit don't @ me i don't care

[contagious-watermelon]

Why do I keep seeing transmascs and trans men insisting or implying that all trans men are "female socialized," or "understand the female experience," or "navigated the world as a woman." Because yeah, sure, that can be true for some people. especially if you weren't gnc at all as a kid and didn't crack your egg until well into adulthood, it makes sense.

But they don't stop at saying they had that experience. It always comes with an addendum that trans men, as a group, all can relate to this experience. I don't know about the entirety of my demographic, but I never got even a little bit of what some of them talk about. I didn't even believe that women were scared of going out at night until I kept consistently seeing them say it, online or wherever, for years. I never realized catcalling was a thing until I saw some women complaining about it on reddit.

But they posit it as some sort of, you're safer than cis men, right? You know what it's like? Which, on top of being patently, demonstrably false in the case of myself and many other trans men, holds some unpleasant and often outright hostile implications about trans women. And they always deny it, but if you can't even conceptualize someone like me who grew up gnc, and never got the bulk (or any?) of whatever we consider to be 'female socialization,' what does that say about what you think trans girls went through, growing up? I don't want to speak for them, as I've never experienced that firsthand, but I can guarantee that (if you're even a little bit obviously trans) people don't treat you like a cis kid of the opposite gender. By and large, they don't get treated like cis boys.

It just makes me mad that we're taking this inaccurate framework that (ever so conveniently) puts trans people into the box of our assumed birth gender, and trying to fancy it up and use it with a faux-progressive veneer; never mind the way that transphobes use it to bar trans women from being athletes, or using the bathroom, or having access to any gendered resources they need. It would be bad enough to try and dust it off and use it even if it were largely accurate, due to the aforementioned connections to outright transphobia, but it literally is patently false. Not in all cases, obviously, but why are we trying to revamp this untrue, inaccurate generalization and pretend that we can make it 'trans-inclusive?'

trying to interact with cis woman-centric feminist media as a trans man (especially a gnc trans man) is a simultaneously bizarre and exhausting experience lmao. do you know how offputting it is to read about how men are the root of all evils in the world and how they'll never understand what it's like to be a woman when you literally have boobs and wear dresses and look far more like barbie than you ever will ken like please motherfucker i don't think i'm incapable of understanding your experiences actually. el oh el

It does annoy me how a Cis person can gain all the accolades of "Allyship" by doing the bare fucking minimum, such a writing a transfem character as anything but a demonised caricature, while their supporters get violently defensive should you mention all the transphobic remarks they've made and all the transphobic people they've willingly gotten friendly with. Like I suppose you could have been a whole lot worse about it, but I begrudge the idea that I should wash your feet because you refrained from kicking my face
