#if only i was cis

The worst part about being trans for me is the alienation I feel. You are never a part of the male experience or the female one. Sometimes, it feels like you exist to imitate, look closely at how people act and speak, and copy. You never feel fully included in a group of all male friends. You're just different. It's exhausting.

Xie Lian: I married my soulmate, San Lang!

Wei Wuxian: My soulmate is Lan Zhan, and we got married too!

Shen Qingqiu: My soulmate is a pathetic rat man who is trashier than his own writing

Wei Wuxian: ...and you married him?

Shen Qingqiu: Gross no, I married his son

Xie Lian and Wei Wuxian: ????????

does anyone have resources on transmisogyny in nazi Germany? I was looking into it briefly and it seems relatively clear that the persecution of queer people in nazi Germany was very transmisogynistic. cis lesbians were never outlawed or explicitly targeted (instead classed under asocial), and some trans men apparently had their "transvestite certification" renewed (permit that gave permission to crossdress), where on the other side, gay men and trans women were explicitly targeted by Nazis and labelled with the pink triangle and often castrated or worse.

the thing is I'm struggling to find actual information on a lot of this, in particular the transvestite certification, there are many individual examples of trans women being harassed or killed specifically for having them and this article specifically mentions a strange exception where a trans man was not persecuted for his but rather had it renewed, but I can't find information on how common this was, perhaps this was a rare exception with no relation to agab as the article seems to think, but I can't help but wonder if it may be reflective of wider transmisogynistic forces.

It seems like a bit of a trove of historic information for analysis but surprisingly I can't find anything talking about Nazis and transmisogyny, only their general homophobia/queerphobia.

I would really like to read more about this so if anyone has resources or just personal study they'd like to share please do send it my way

Reading svsss really puts into perspective just how MIRACULOUSLY normal Hua Cheng turned out despite his arguably worse circumstances.

saw a tweet the other day that was like "outlawing diy hrt would kill trans people" which, yes, i agree. however it is already illegal for trans men. which is something i feel like people just ignore in discussions about diyhrt. i've also seen tweets along the lines of "it's easy to access and dose and it's not explicitly illegal so if you're concerned about us anti trans laws you're being stupid". which, the first part is completely untrue when it comes to testosterone, and the second part shows a mindblowingly uncompassionate view on anti trans legislation and is a genuinely bafflingly horrible thing to say to people who are scared for their lives and their futures

Ohhh noooo, look out Real Feminists, the scary trans men are “expanding the meaning of misogyny to no longer be about women.” By which we mean, pointing out that misogynists care more about how they see you than whether you actually identify as a woman or not. Terrifying, they must be stopped.

hm rgu just has a really nuanced take about how patriarchy harms men. it says that men are brought up in a society that encourages them to harm women and emulate other misogynistic, abusive men [touga emulating akio, and to a lesser extent saionji emulating touga and later akio]. this often does come at some cost to their own psyche, because the men they are emulating hurt and abuse them too [touga is abused by akio, saionji is abused by touga though touga is not nearly as skillful with it]. but regardless, they are punching downwards to mistreat the women in their lives the same way their abusive male role models do [touga abusing nanami, saionji abusing anthy], and they choose to act this way to women because, despite the conditions of patriarchy inflicting a toxic and self-destructive relationship with other men on them, they are willing to imitate and obey the same men that hurt them if it means they can keep the privilege and power over women that the patriarchy grants them by default for being men. [touga wants to be akio's successor, he wants to inherit the world that akio has constructed for himself, which is built on the foundation of patriarchal power over women. and to do this touga deliberately keeps himself on akio's radar rather than pull back once it becomes clear what akio's intentions with him are. touga believes he's letting himself be manipulated, he believes he is consenting to it, and that that will be worth it if it means claiming akio's seat of power in the future. (of course what touga doesn't consider is that he cannot meaningfully consent to any advances akio makes, because he's a minor and akio is an adult.)]

rgu asserts that yes, patriarchy does harm men, but that harm comes almost exclusively from other men. and, more importantly, while abusive men may have been hurt by the patriarchy at the hands of other men, it is still their choice to hurt the women around them. and rather than dawdle and sympathize with harmful men for how they themselves were hurt by other harmful men, it's more important to prevent them from hurting anyone else

warhammer dudes will treat the female characters in the nastiest way. Degrade Celestine's and Yvraine's characters to nothing but waifu bait. Talk about what they'd like to do to sororitas with consent optional. Gleefully describe what a daemonculaba is and act like its so cool and edgy. But the minute female fans and queers start to talk about finding a male character attractive NAW that's where they draw the line. How dare we find Titus handsome. Filthy perverts degenerates all of us. Its apparently too much for them and they get really, really mad about it. Stay pissy you gross ass weirdos, your hypocrisy stinks through the walls

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
