Odd to me that the whole "x trans group has it worse, actually" people seem to both be really optimistic about how cissexual cisgender society views trans people of every stripe, just about different groups. Like they don't see any of us as one of them. There's still regular degular transphobia and its fucking everpresent for literally every trans person there is. There's no passing so successful that you opt out of society beong transphobic on literally any side.

#i mostly think the hashtag transcourse or w/e on here is like. amusing and entertaining. because its always people trying to corner the #market on things that happen broadly to shitloads of groups that just don't usually also overlap with being white and middle class #but i was sitting around offline and was thinking about something someone else had said on a post that was particularly stupid #and like was an argument on the 'transmisogyny is the worst oppression of any group' side that somehow managed to contradict one of the core #tenets of transmisogyny theory in the process #and it was just like. for such a cynical attitude you are really really optimistic about Society huh. you really think you can actually #pass hard enough and your acceptance will actually come huh.#hell even the concept and the way passing is approached in Trans Discourse TM vs in race theory is really something #eh im gonna quit running my mouth in the tags and go to bed bc i gotta be up in like 6 hours but last parting shot #why is everyone on here so obsessed with making Theories of Xyz that are like 'this is just a personal thing that applies to people' and not #Structural Analyses that Discuss Structures. like misogyny is a structural issue and its ingrained in every layer of our society its like.#an understood quantity that misogyny isnt just something that Happens To Women but a fundamental part of how power institutions etc are m #built and structured and why feminists of the past had to fight for things like the right to manage their own money and why women as a class #are disenfranchised relative to men as a class. right #how is it that everyone hotly debating niche gay and trans and etc theories on here are incapable of discussing these things as structural #elements that play off of and feed into one another in lieu of making them into like personal things. that happen to you if you are #personally something or other but don't like permeate our society on a fundamental level somehow. the actual transmisogyny theories are #structural so why are you all so bad at it. i dont know if transandrophobia even has a theory and if it has any structural critiques i #havent seen them personally #like idk its just fucking funny to me. and kind of weird.#why claim to be super adherent to one structural critique and philosophy and then refuse to engage with the structural results of that #structural criticism. are you even reading what you're riffing off.
