#intracommunity transphobia

I may very well be swinging a bat at a hornet's nest, but I find it very interesting that the crowd that (rightfully) says "Read another book" to Harry Potter fans among the J.K. Rowling bullshit has a not-insignificant overlap with the crowd that has also only read one book (and that book is Whipping Girl).

The tweet in question. Is this sort of thing really what passes for jokes in 2024?

You guys do know that trans guys in relationships with people who try to convince them not to transition are in abusive relationships. And it’s not really a funny joke you can just casually make.

Maybe I’m just on Twitter too much but I keep seeing people say certain cis women look like they are trans men in abusive relationships.

I've seen people say terf rhetoric is any hatred of men and I've seen people say terf rhetoric is anything transphobic said by anyone. the refusal to actually engage with the reality that terfism is primarily focused on oppressing trans women is in itself a form of transmisogyny. yes they hate all trans people, but it is quite easy to see who they primarily target with their words, actions and policies, you just don't want to care about trans women. claiming someone is a man hater doesn't mean you get to call them a terf or a radfem, thats an obvious, willfull dilution and denial of what terfs are.

Absolutely loathe the idea that transmascs who don’t pass as guys shouldn’t “act like an authority on transness” (as in. talk about their own experiences like they matter and should be factored into discussions of transness). This rhetoric usually focuses on closeted transmascs and those who intentionally present in a way that passes for a cis woman. But it also harms those who are unable to pass for other reasons. All trans people deserve a voice in trans conversations.

Users marked green on Shinigami Eyes:

Tumblr funnyperson dash simulator 😁

User marked as green on shinigami eyes 1: trans women keep making these obviously sexual jokes and then get surprised when they get called out for it

User marked as green on shinigami eyes 2: it's insane that some trans men have the courage to even imply they could ever possibly be in pain

User marked as green on shinigami eyes 3: yeah normal nonbinary people are "valid" or whatever but so many want to use pronouns I don't agree they should use

User marked as green on shinigami eyes 4: aromantic and asexual people should all kill themselves

jsyk user genderyomi reblogs from ppl identyfing as baeddel/“transman-hater” (w their words). safe to assume she is one.

i do appreciate well meaning calling me out on shit i've reposted and whatnot but that does not to my mind warrant any kind of unfollow/deleting posts what have you

i have been seeing traces of this new wave is 'transmisandry a real thing/is baeddelism real and if it is is it actually a bad thing or kinda based' flooding my dash lately and have very deliberately stayed away from engaging in any of it/weighing up on one side or another.

thankyou for engaging here though in a more polite way!

Hey! You! Yes, you, trans person trying to make sense of your personal experience with transphobia. I hope you haven't forgotten the following truths:

All other trans people have always been on HRT 10 years longer than you and started transitioning as fetuses. Not to mention they're all white, conventionally attractive (by the standards for the gender they id as) wealthy and have I mentioned hot? Yes, all trans people who are not you are incredibly hot and pass perfectly all of the time and you should be mad at them.

You and your closest trans friends, the only trans people whose perspectives you listen to, are the only ones who are right about what being trans is and should be like.

The less you know about a specific gender identity other than your own, the fewer people you've talked to, the less of their writing you've read, the more qualified you are to talk about their issues! You overheard a rumor about a trans person? Awesome, that's now the exact lived experience of every trans person who shares their identity label. You will know it is true when believing it makes you feel good.

When you write about a type of transphobia you experience, you should always call out some group of trans people who you believe aren't affected by it, or are not making your case correctly.

When a trans person is mean to you, badly behaved, bigoted or expresses beliefs that you don't personally share, it's always correct & good to make up an insulting term for them and it should definitely refer to either their gender identity or even better, what they were assigned at birth! Always fight fire with fire or, if you feel particularly slighted, a flamethrower that will also burn people in their vicinity.

You need to invent new binaries! Someone has to be from Venus and someone else from Mars. Never consult intersex nor non binary people when you do this with sex or gender.

Trans people who are different from you share none of your experiences and will never stand with you or protect you, it's very important & healthy for you to isolate yourself.

Activism is when you accuse others of having power over you. It's successful when they feel guilty about it.

All your problems are made worse by people who are trans differently from you. Make sure to take your anger out on them, never on cis people in power, who are too out of reach. But other trans people are right there for you to harass and beat down on. This is good for the community!

I feel like this should be common sense but I guess it isn't so uh. Maybe if you're making a post about about transphobia you shouldn't be referring to other trans people's genitals in slang (and often dysphoria-inducing) terms like "pussy" and "cock".

[genderoutlaws]

Why has there been soooo much biphobic discourse this pride?? When has infighting ever helped us anyways

bruh literally i’ve unfollowed so many ppl on twitter this year over just insane takes hating on bisexuals fr no reason, idk why that was the pick for who to clown on this year lmao. love u tho bisexuals

[intersexcat-tboy]

Imagine misgendering other trans people. Unbelievable.

Huh that's funny, what's that doing there? Misgendering in reblogs commenting on your post? The post where you said minorities discussing their oppression is how you know to immediately block them? After you misgendered me? And several ppl corrected you, pointing out it was misgendering?

(timestamps aren't accurate this was just sitting in drafts, every time I see her pop up through rb's she's saying something awful)

[starryjoy]

So, it seems like multigender people are now slowly becoming the focus of hate from exclusionist groups, which I can only assume happened because these groups felt forced to have to respect multigender people for a few months as the website's opinion of them was that they were cool, and now these bigots are finding each other and, claiming that it is in order to "protect other trans people", are shitting on the "fagdykes" around.

What I want to say is this: for the love of everything that is good, if you find a post that is claiming that one specific kind of generic trans person is hurting another kind of generic trans person, actually think critically about said post.

Did this imagined person have to be a kind of trans person? Would there be a reason as to why op would like you to think certain trans people hate all other trans people?

Do these certain trans people really find any advantage in hating other trans people? Do they have any reason to do so? Or are they also under the same societal oppression that hurts them for the same reasons as other trans people?

Do *you* find any advantage in hating these people? Or are you two under the same societal oppression that hurts both of you, and hating these people serves no purpose to anyone but our oppressors to keep us divided?

Stay strong out there everyone. We gotta stick together.

cis transphobia: transmascs are girls that only transition to get to the top of the patriarchy

trans transphobia: transmascs are at the top of the patriarchy

[trans-androgyne]

Need people to understand that “transmasc” doesn’t mean “person who wants to look like a cis man.” Because that’s exactly how people act when discussing transmascs and misogyny/gendered oppression. They act like we either pass or eventually will pass as cis men. Not even all binary trans men want to pass as cis men. I know I’m often perceived as a butch lesbian woman and that’s not something I plan to put work into changing. I’ll likely experience way more misogyny than cis men for the rest of my life, and I deserve to talk about it.
