#no terfs allowed tho

[annoyingfobbie]

In light of all the insane anti trans laws being passed in the US right now, I figured I'd take the time to advertise some of my designs as a trans artist. hey, if terfs get to profit off my existence, I should be able to profit off it too, right?

Each design comes on two kinds of t-shirts (sizes S through 4XL), a hoodie (sizes S through 5XL), and a crewneck sweater (sizes S through 3XL), all with different color options as well.

These are all being sold on my store, along with a handful of other designs unrelated to gender, and I've been putting new designs out like every week recently

RB to help my trans ass out lmao

Man I went to check in on the Imane vs JKR situation and…. at first I thought it was kinda funny that ol’ Joanne was doubling down in the face of overwhelming evidence that she was WRONG…

I see her most recent take is that Imane isn’t trans but she’s “a male [incorrectly] assigned female at birth”.

…Seriously?

Putting aside the concept that it still shouldn’t MATTER even if that WERE true; how was this conclusion drawn exactly?

Before the evidence that she wasn’t trans was made clearly available and put under JKR’s nose, JKR seemed to assume she was trans - not this specific misidentified gender/chromosome situation. This only came AFTER the pushback against the allegation of transness.

What this means is that the conclusion is foregone - this must be a man - and the supposed evidence is only found after the fact to prove the assumed result.

That is how pseudoscience works - starting with a conclusion and working backwards. There’s supposed interviews and investigations to support JKR’s claims that for some reason are not verified. Supporters think that’s an effort to suppress the truth; critics think it’s because it’s unreliable if not false information.

And the thing is, the legitimacy of all this supposed “evidence” about Imane’s chromosomes (which should be PRIVATE but here we are) doesn’t even matter! Everything thrown at her is evidence to support a conclusion JKR and others jumped to just by looking at a person.

At the end of the day, that’s the level of legitimacy we’re at: “it looks like”.

Gender police looked at Imane and made an absolute decision, based on NOTHING but how she looks, and the fact that she made a shorter white woman cry.

It doesn’t matter what gets desperately scrounged up and thrown around as ~evidence~. It doesn’t matter that JKR has slightly changed the allegation to account for transphobia in Algeria and a cis female birth certificate.

No one was looking at a birth certificate or studying up on Algerian gender politics when Imane won her match. They were looking at her strong face, her big frame, and the tears in the white woman’s eyes.

See, I thought it was funny at first because JKR was so obviously digging her own grave… right?

But I forgot how pseudoscience works.

You just keep looking for and grabbing onto any information that could support the assumption you already wholeheartedly believe.

It’s sniveling and detestable. Because people will always readily hop onboard that pseudoscience train. Because it’s a communal affirmation of first impressions, of gut-feelings, of what FEELS true.

There is no more scientific value in this whole investigation than that of flat-earther discourse.

The Earth LOOKS flat, so it MUST be flat; if someone LOOKS conventionally male, they MUST be male.

Absolute lunacy…

i love seeing breasted boobily posts in the wild. it's nuts to me that ppl are still saying that lmao

my partner thinks i should try to monetize it but.... i dont want to lol. it's just fun to see ppl say the funny thing i said

[wing-dingy]

why are terfs so anti-sex?? like so many of them are so against anything sexual at all and treat it like its impure and unholy and not natural. ooga booga some people have sexual experiences OOOOOO 👻👻👻👻 watch out!

[caprisun-wizard]

grim reminder that this is also how cults work, by making the new members think everyone subscribes to their insane doctrine and telling them to go spread the truth what it’s actually doing is making the new recruits face rejection, from strangers, from friends, from family, there by isolating the members from all out of cult connections. it makes them feel persecuted for their (batshit) beliefs and makes them turn even harder towards the cult for support and to fill the gaping holes in their social needs where everyone sensible got the hell out.

while it is best for people to remain a safe distance from that kind of hateful behavior it’s also important to remember that if they’re not able to maintain connections with people outside the cult they will not be able to pull themselves out and will only become more radicalized.

have hard conversations with your friends. if you can’t catch this shit before it takes root you probably won’t be able to get them out before they’re a danger to you and others.

TERFs: Everyone agrees with us secretly and are just afraid of the TRA’s “cancelling” them.

Also TERFs:

reading some of the replies on that mismag post and losing my entire mind. i also fully understand if people don't want to watch a season that has, like. anything whatsoever to do with h*rry p*tter? but the way people are literally saying "mmm well hp targeted people of color and trans people tho so the d20 cast isn't allowed to reclaim it" and like first off tell me you didn't watch it without telling me. brennan's the Only white person. the only one. erika is Literally trans. there is zero celebration of hp in mismag. it isn't even an "oh we'll take some of this bc we really do love this part and then we'll critique the other bits" no, mismag exists to tear hp to shreds. it literally is SPECIFICALLY for deconstructing and destroying hp. it's not even carry on which on some levels has a degree of fondness for the source material. it's pure vitriol against the terf-y fascist shit in the original while specifically telling mostly the story of people of color, by people of color. fuck off.

[whereserpentswalk]

Not that I don't love lesbian t4t but I fear the reason why transfemme x transfemme is so common on here is that it's the only type of pairing involving a trans person that isn't automatically called predatory or problematic.

Transfemme x transmasc: people instinctively want to find ways the transfemme is exploiting or manipulating the transmasc. Whatever characterization the characters had before will be thrown away in people's minds because they've been socialized to see one party as groomer and the other as groomed.

Transfemme x cis man: people will accuse the transfemme of being a fetishist obsessed with being submissive to men, and call her bad representation for catering to chasers. They also might go full trans panic mode, even if they're "progressive", expect to see any pairing where she didn't make it crystal clear she was trans to be called problematic thos way.

Transmasc x cis man: either the cis man is thought of as a chaser, and the transmasc condemned for allowing himself to be fetishized (or the useally transmasc artist accused of fetishizing transmascs). Or the transmasc is accused of being a straight girl fetishizing queer men. Sometimes both as little sense as that makes.

Transmasc x transmasc: accused of being cis women fetishizing queer men. And/or an "ew men" response is given. Also sometimes people will accuse you of drawing a lesbian couple if they don't pass.

Transfemme x cis woman: people will see this as a male using femininity to prey on a lesbian. Show your average "progressive" internet user art of a visibly trans woman being intimate with a cis woman and they'll pull out all the terf talking points trying to call it problematic and bad rep.

Transmasc x cis woman: people are weirdly egar to accuse the transmasc of being predatory, because their minds default to the predatory lesbian trope, especially if the woman in question is feminine and/or straight. Even people who don't call it problematic will try to make it into a lesbian relationship which they will try to make into a female friendship. Also expect the useal "ew men".

Transfemme x transfemme is great but it's largely supportive because in a world where people are obsessed with calling transfemmes predators and calling transmascs both predators and prey, it's the only thing they don't call problematic at a moment's notice. Also people's focus on finding "gold star" queers and the hatred of queer masculinity also probably play into this.

[barbiereactionimages]

someone just used this in a post and I thought "why the hell didn't I edit preminger out" so I went to the og post and well, guess I answered my question 😂

[witchytakes]

The real "trans lobby"

Honestly I've seen plenty of TERFs, GC's and far right people saying that there's a whole "Trans lobby" of doctors who profit out of "rush transitioning" (specially when trans people are younger)

And they couldn't be more stupid, there's more profit doctors can made by gatekeeping HRT and that "living as your gender" shit to allow transition just to start, also for the whole disphoria shit tho

Just to get clear here's a hypotetical example of a late transition trans woman into the "correct way to transition" by a GC standard (minus the erradicating thing) would need to be over 18 (sometimes even 25), be a trans het woman (AGP's aren't acceptable only the HSTS's), live as a woman for 2 years (buying the whole closet, shave everyday), pay a whole package of laser shaving or electrolisys and be at the standard of the doctor so after this they are allowed to transition, lowballing a cost average of 10k USD

Then there's the HRT and the mind of the said trans woman filled with disphoria, which she's a late transitioner and would want to do a lot of surgeries to fit, lowballing here is about 100k USD

many sectors would profit out of the late transitioner trans woman which didn't want to suffer transphobia

Now into the so scary trans lobby logic, the same trans woman, she's just goes into HRT before she even make 18 just regular exams and stuff, she didn't even needed to pass the gatekeep stuff and the disphoria brainworms woudn't even consume her, the whole cost would be highballing 5k USD for a period of 10 years

yeah transitioning early is actually less profitable than transitioning late hence why there's no "trans lobby" over younger trans people, they just want to not be disphoric

the actual medical scandal would be when people find out that early transitioners can have a happier life (there's nothing wrong about late transitioning tho) and there's a profit out making trans people lifes miserable just to allow them do their own treatment

[velvetvexations]

how would "she/her male" be upsetting to terfs tho lmao there are a lot of terfs for whom that is the ideal way theyd begrudgingly accept the existence of trans women...??? like as muddled as radical feminism is one of its core tenets for ages now is that gender nonconformity should be allowed, but one cant change their sex and shouldnt be allowed to claim that they have/access sex segregated spaces. not really understanding how this challenges their worldview? not that it should need to but lol

Well first of all anon you're overstating how much TERFs love gender non-conformity, and nothing a trans woman could say about herself would ever please the ones who call it womanface or talk about husbands turning themselves into disturbing parodies of their wives.

Secondly, I am vigorously opposed to sex-segregated spaces and how happy do you think TERFs will be having to deal with someone who claims that kinna access and those rights as a woman while outright calling themselves male?

Thirdly, I'm a freak. I am the male who gets turned seeing myself wearing women's clothes that they are terrified of. I both adore, in a healthy self-love way, and fetishize, in a creepy way, the mismatch that society perceives between my physicality and my gender. And have you seen the things I reblog to my #vexatious tag? There is nothing diplomatic about my existence.

The fact that I call myself a male and TERFs also call me a male does not actually solve any of their core problems with me or my ideology lol.

[femme-dor]

@zestyyydyke Miss girl, you are clearly unwell and your comment instructing someone to end their life is a deafening self-report. 🤨

You can go back to being miserable in the corner by yourself. Therapists are in your area.

“Toxic Positivity” Jesus Christ

I will never understand how people took the mindset of seeing the best in life & situations as “toxic”. Y’all find comfort in being defeated miserable nihilists on your phones all day just say that. Leave productive folk alone.

[sarafangirlart]

“The mythology was removed to make it more historically accurate, anyway let’s make Medusa and her sisters run what is basically a woman’s shelter even tho the idea of Medusa as a symbol of female empowerment is a hilariously modern concept with no real historical backing and let’s make this tribe of woman a bunch of TERFs who wouldn’t allow an infant to live with them if it happened to be born a boy.”

[mewos-laptop]

I wanna talk abt smth that rlly bothers me, so I'm gonna put it under the cut bc as per usual I'm going to be VERY OPINIONATED and will absolutely not word this kindly. This is my space to be as angry as I want and I will not tolerate anyone telling me I'm being too mean abt this.

Tw for discussion of transmasc erasure and my own experiences with it, mentions of trauma, romance and dating, and me venting.

TERFS and transmasc exclusionists FUCK OFF. I will not hesitate to say VILE SHIT abt you if you comment bullshit on this. /srs

So, I'm transmasc, but generally use the term transmasc and trans man interchangeably for myself irl, bc describing myself as a boy is far easier.

I used to be dating this girl, and she was. A real piece of work /neg, but that's a whole other story. While we were dating she wld CONSTANTLY talk abt how "I wld NEVERRR date a cis man, cis men are SOOOOO GROSSSSS and traumatizing, oh but dw I still think trans men are men", and mind you, she was AWARE that I am a boy. After we broke up, she came out as a lesbian.

If I'm gonna be 100% honest, I see shit like this ALL THE TIME in the queer community at large as well, and it REALLY feels misgendering to me.

Whenever I see sum1 talking abt how gross and disgusting and traumatizing cis men are, but double back and then say "oh well not trans men tho" it makes me feel like less of a boy if that makes sense.

I know that people have been fear-mongered into never trusting cis men specifically, but I just can't help but feel like they're downplaying MY identity as a boy, and saying that I'm "less of a boy" compared to cis guys.

"Oh yeah I only hang out w/ girls and trans men" why are you grouping me in with people who I clearly have expressed I am not a part of ? And why do you express disgust at masculine features *I* want to have ?

Is it because you actually don't think I'm a boy, and you think you're allowed to just disregard my identity because I don't look like a boy ? Because if so, you're a real fucking awful trans ally.

I'm so fucking sick of seeing this mentality expressed within the queer community and within MY OWN RELATIONSHIPS. I'm not a fucking commodity for you, I'm not "less of a guy", I'm not a they/them user.

I'm really fucking tired of being feminized by my OWN COMMUNITY, a lot of the time by OTHER TRANS PEOPLE, for the sake of THEIR OWN FEELINGS.

I'm gonna be honest rn, if you decide you can change my identity as a boy for your feelings, then I don't give a shit abt your feelings. If you decide that you can make me into "girl who wants to pretend to be a boy" then I'm going to tell you that your trauma is getting in the fucking way of your relationships and either YOU need to deal with it, or you need to get out of my life.

I don't care abt your trauma with men if it means you're going to decide I'M not a boy.

[nebulousjoy]

it's actually so shitty that ao3 allows & protects ai generated stories. even tho...those stories weren't written by a person. they aren't true fanworks.

it's just shit a bot stole and slapped together. in what way is that material worth preserving.

EDIT: radfems & TERFs, fuck off. rot to death.

[pillarsalt]

hi Im the same ex transmasc anon who sent you that aask about rhe tumblr ban thing, I did a lot of reading without forcing myself away this time. (I used to look at radblr sometimes bc I got curious, but when it started making too much sense i would make myself stop reading and tell myself I was being manipulated and try to forget about it..looking back that probably wasnt normal haha,)

I have mixed feelings tho. I don’t regret looking closer, the amount of sexism in the trans community was horrible. I think even radfems don’t understand how bad it was because it was all subtle styff. But seeing it constantly irl and online was terrible for me as a female. It gave me so much internalized misogyny, it made me hate myself and I felt worthless and stupid! and whiny! and annoying! all the time!! unless I was able to be perceived as a man. I felt like I had to be a man to have any respect in the community. I remember being so amazed to see abortion be covered by trans people I followed in even a reblog because it was the first time I saw people in the community talk about female issues at all. Even then it was covered with disclaimers and terfs DNI banners. male,opinions were always prioritized.

I thought this was dysphoria and a sign I was really a man. then I started reading radfem things and its like that feeling instantly lifted. I felt respected, listened to, even though I wasn’t speaking. It was also like all this stuff I’d internalized from being female, all the trauma around sex based oppression, was actually being addressed. in trans circles you get called a terf for acknowledging females face any kind of oppression (they acknowledge sex when it’s to talk about how hard male loneliness is on young trans women, and how the incel to trans woman pipeline happens, though…)

but the reason I have mixed feelings is bc I now feel….dumb? And afraid. And angry. I spend well over a decade being part of this community, half my friends are in the community, I’ve been trans since I was 9. My typings not the best… dyslexia sucks lol. But I like to think I’m smart. Now I don’t know,

And it makes me think totally different of these people I saw as progressive cis male allies, who were so loud about trans rights and hating JKR and terfs. Now they just feel like the same flavor of anti-feminist man I hate.

And the community is so huge and it’s so widely accepted and I don’t know how to deal!

But I am happy to be a woman now. In a healthy way I haven’t been for a long time. thats all that matters.

I'm sorry for everything you were put through. Many girls and women have been sucked into this thinking it will provide a solution for their distress at the social ramifications of the body they're born in, only for more people, namely men, to take advantage of their distress and gain power over them. As you mentioned, even "cis" men get in on the action when they justify intimidating and threatening women with violence in response to perceived transphobia. It's a terrible situation to be in. Made worse when you can't openly talk about with people you're close to for fear of alienating them.

I think you should give yourself more credit. You ARE smart. You questioned what you were told was never allowed to be questioned and realized you were being misled. And what you said about trying to make yourself forget the realizations you've had, that is normal. It's a difficult and scary thing to hold opinions that conflict with those of the majority of your peers. I think it's like the climax of cognitive dissonance -- when what you know is true clashes so hard against what you want to believe, you find it impossible to justify anymore, so you just resort to pretending you never learned the information in the first place. Been there.

I'm just being a stereotype now, but there's a classic Dworkin quote for this:

"Many women, I think, resist feminism because it is an agony to be fully conscious of the brutal misogyny which permeates culture, society, and all personal relationships."

Anyway my point is, don't beat yourself up. I'm really happy to read that you're accepting your womanhood, it's a hard journey but it's worth it to have a good relationship with yourself. And in my experience (at the sage and wisened age of 25) that it gets easier as you get older. You work through mistakes, and that prepares you to handle the next mistake better. You're right, your health and happiness is all that matters, keep striving for that and it will steer you right.

I wanted to give you some reading recommendations, you mentioned you have dyslexia but I believe these two are available in audiobook form if that's up your alley:

Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference by Cordelia Fine

Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men by Caroline Criado Perez

There are tons more great books on feminism but these two are my go-tos for hard facts on gender, socialization, and the systematic discrimination against women worldwide through biases that are built into society.

Well uh; TLDR thanks for gracing my inbox, anon :) Hope you keep well.
