#fleapit's patented rants

[fleapit]

can we pleasee please please stop fucking fearmongering and blaming trans men for the predstrogen situation. please god. posts about "trans men teaming up with terfs to get trans women banned!" with zero sources all over my dash. blaming "transandrophobia truthers" for all the transmisogyny. have you all lost your fucking minds?? what the fuck happened to t4t??? what the fuck happened to trans solidarity??? why is "transfem separatism" even a subject worth entertaining????

anyone who says other trans people are the enemy is a fucking fed. jesus christ

literally every time someone posts about hating fat men/bald men/"neckbeards"/"unhygienic" men/""4chan redditors"" or whatever, they're a terf or reblog from terfs. every single time. literally every single time.

Look, a lot of the trans women "bitching" about trans men don't hate trans men, and I won't deny that you probably face different strains of transphobia than us. The issue lies in that trans men often wield intracommunity privilege over trans women and many refuse to recognize that. Worse, it's been weaponized against trans women seen as undesirable far too many times. I know you're a good dude, I just ask that you think a little critically about why the divide exists and listen to women's grievances rather than boil it down to bitching.

nothing i say is anti trans women. i love trans women. some of my best friends in the entire fucking world are trans women and i take every chance i can to uplift them and to support them. my beef is NOT with trans women. it's about people- ANY person, regardless of if they're trans or not, regardless of if they're a woman or not- saying that trans men do not face oppression both in and outside of the queer community - mocking and denying our experiences, making fun of ANY word we coin to describe it, and acting like were just trying to earn pity points by complaining.

this is NOT me saying that trans women oppress trans men and i have literally never said that. i have never said that trans women have any privilege over trans men- and im not saying you're accusing me of that, anon, but people have in the past.

i think that every single argument about why trans men have privilege over trans women is either misconstrued or perpetuated by bad actors and terfs trying to divide the community. we do NOT have it any better than trans women do, we do NOT suddenly gain 'male privilege' when we socially transition, and while i do understand women's grievances, it is NOT FAIR to accuse RANDOM TRANS MEN of oppressing you/having privilege over you just because we are hyper-invisible and you do not see the harm that comes to our community.

we are ALSO run off this website. just nobody talks about it. we are ALSO murdered, raped, abused. just nobody talks about it- and if they do, we are women in the news. women in reports. women in statistics. even historically evident transmascs are CONSTANTLY erased and reduced down to 'lying about their gender' because it was safer to pass as a man, or being lesbians. even when the person themselves says in manuscripts and letters and historical records that they identify solely as a man. we are easy targets. extremely easy targets. nobody will defend us but ourselves - and in turn, we have to be everyone else's defenders, or we are worth nothing in the eyes of the community and the world.

we are NEVER taken seriously as men, so to say that we have inherent male privilege- and ESPECIALLY inherent privilege over our trans siblings- is disingenuous at best and dangerous at worst. it erases any concept of intersectionality, of how every trans person's experience is different because of differing factors- identifying as a woman or a man is not the be-all end-all of oppression. our abuse is systemic, and it targets all of us, no matter how we identify, because our transness is seen as undesirable regardless.

any infighting we partake in is just an engineered distraction so they can slaughter us easier.

i am actually sick to death of having to fucking vet every single butch blog i follow to make sure they're not insane about men/think all men should die. how the hell are you going to call yourself ftm and a transmasc butch yet turn around and say that you're a man hating lesbian. it's like even when i think they're safe they turn around and say the most vile shit imaginable. how are you literally going to have a url with masculine in it and then say you hate men. how are you calling yourself ftm and a dude and a guy and then turning around to say that all men are evil and dont see you as a person. fucking genuine skill issue.

having to unfollow people for fucking """transandrophobia truther""" posting. trans men are constantly correctively raped, murdered, and then misgendered in the news and the biggest fucking problem you people have with this ISNT the murder and rape, but when we talk about our specific kind of oppression. hmm, i fucking wonder why you all seem to act like were dramatic and hysterical? i wonder where that comes from? i wonder why you need to use a fucking nazi dogwhistle to discredit our trauma and harassment and murder? im not going to fucking forget in a few years when you people pretend you've always been on our side, just like i haven't forgotten when a decade ago all the same people were saying trans men are just insane females betraying their gender and lesbianism.

do people realize that you're not "more" of a werewolf by identifying as a clinical lycanthrope as opposed to a therian. because im not sure they do.

i dont know how to put this into words but there is literally nothing that anyone can say that could convince me that something two consenting adults do together is harmful to internet strangers
