trans-identifying males will be like "it's dehumanizing to call me a man" even though man literally means adult HUMAN male and then turn around and say how validating it is to be called a female dog & how that's totally not a dehumanizing misogynistic slur lol

Peaking over my fence

[paperlunamoth]

Thank you Abigail Thorn, aka PhilosophyTube, for setting in motion my eventual peaking when you said, with complete seriousness, "I am in fact of the female sex," when right up until that moment I had thought that all trans people were willing to acknowledge that you can't literally change your sex, and that no trans people were genuinely claiming otherwise. With one statement you caused me to start questioning everything I hadn't thought to question about the ideology being promoted by the trans movement. You truly helped this viewer to think more philosophically and critically in her daily life, which is exactly what you set out to do. Congratulations and thank you so much.

I first remember peaking while I was actually being diagnosed with gender dysphoria. I remember being sort of shocked at how quickly the doctor but me on a waiting list for hormones, while basically the only question she asked was “do you have gender dysphoria, yes or no?” Like is that not your job to determine? It made me (thank god) so unsure about continuing with the process.

Then compare this to my friend who’s been trying for a dyslexia diagnosis for 2 years and has been met with constant scepticism and questions. For a disorder which should be practically easier to test than the allusive “gender dysphoria”.

Something that peaked me hard was online transwomen in non LGBT specific groups on discord. Maybe it's because I'm a little older (35+) but I remember when you could be anyone online because no one had a "real life" internet presence. That would be madness. So you could be anyone you wanted in a forum or chatroom, change your name, your age, your location, weird little details that don't even matter ,and no one would know.

In a platform like discord now it would be really easy to do the same. No one knows you, there's no proof of anything, absolutely everything could reflect the persona you've made and no one would know.

Irl it can be hard for a lot of transwomen to pass as women, but online? Go for it. And yet. They don't. They instead signal desperately about their transness, their specialness, their entitlement to both speak for women and over them.

My first interaction peaked me hard, having a twenty year old man mansplain women and LGB issues to me like I was a fucking idiot, while making it clear that his womanhood was somehow superior to mine, and that he was a lesbian, despite him having a beard and presenting as a "butch" irl. I started out believing that transwomen were women and speaking to him like I would another woman. Male socialization at every turn.

Completely different group couple years later, again, not LGBT specific, and same thing. I had to quit because the two or three transwomen in the group sucked all the energy out. Everything was about them, their feelings, their transition, their validity. When one of them asked a question and people responded, kindly and honestly, he exploded in drama and fragility and blamed all his feelings on the *extremely neutral and kind comments other people had made*. Everyone immediately apologized *for nothing* and hoped he would forgive them. He wasn't even gracious about that! Literally top tier male behaviour. So many conversations about other issues were derailed because these men would bring it back to their oppression and everyone would just go along with it.

Genuine question, if transwomen are women, why don't they use the anonymity of the Internet to be just that? Interacting with transwomen - and not radfems - is what peaked me.

Hard launching my cheesy bind logo because

[myopicry]

a spiteful little rant about petty real life circumstance~

picking the absolute worst time to peak as I essentially fully start a new role as management for a very "queer" organization (it's like a school sponsored writing publication) on my campus...whoops! in my defense, I had yet to peak when I applied for the job and got it, and was actively still seeking to transition. ironically though, right after I got hired, that's when all the fun catalysts for my peakening happened! the universe plays funny games sometimes with timing.

anyway...the point of this relentless blogposting is that my boss/head of management is a self defined "transfemme" who I watched actively go from they/them to she/her in the span of a few months, and I have just had the fascinating reveal (not shocking, really) that they are a "lesbian" and apparently, this is well known among the management to where people joke their entire personality is being gay and talking about lesbians and man. I really hate to be like this but. it's a little awkward to watch someone who isn't female define themselves with being such a "lesbian" !!! again, what a fun nod from the universe that the second I accept my own same-sex attraction, but I still have all this damn baggage from trying to repress it for so long as well as a new profound loneliness based off my opinions being very isolating from my peer group, I am immediately confronted with the exact concept that I have just been peaked on!! wow!! and especially since I still struggle with even thinking of myself as a lesbian since I've had such dumb, incidental, regrettable and based-on-insecurity experiences with men, watching someone categorically not same-sex attracted be so flippantly defined as the gayest of all gays and so quirky for liking to kiss girls (I'm not mad at all that I'm basically stuck in the closet due to my family situation/location in the states and will probably never be able to be so casual with my attraction because a lot of the people around me still see it as unnatural haha <- lying about not being mad)

worst part and maybe the objectively whiniest and pettiest part of this post is this person apparently is poly and has multiple girlfriends! which they brag about! oh boy!

it all just reminds me of how I used to just not know about any of this, but now I can't help but notice how casual jokes like "I like girls in a lesbian way" are made by trans women online, and how...weird...it feels? yknow, I just want to actually let myself feel love for once after a whole teenage saga of disassociating myself from my body and subjecting myself to degrading relationships because I thought that was the only way I could live, and be in a relationship that makes me feel what everyone else feels so damn easily because the world is catered towards their desires and not mine! but sure, I guess these quirky amabs can just suddenly become so gay and sapphic and whatnot just with a simple change of the pronouns and somehow become the face of the identity I can still barely stand to claim from my lack of experiences but one that eats me up inside with the pain of unfulfillment regardless!

okay, I'm clearly losing the thread here and I admit this is fully written from an impulsive, spite-fueled reaction, but what's an anonymous tumblr blog for if not making my problems everyone's problem because I obviously can't vent about this in real life! in a way, this is better than letting the resentment fester? I can just vent it out and subject my lovely followers to maybe seeing this? wow, I love tumblr.com?

if you did read this, you're a damn saint and I hope you have an amazing whatever time of day it is where you live <3

just stumbled across this post and grabbed some GOLD comments for the receipts

but my fave is the contrast of these 2 (@terfstillmeanslesbian this is for u!)

so very interesting of hellobadomens (btw I keep misreading your url as "hello abdomens 😅) to call us stupid for saying that something is happening which quite literally happened upthread

and then there's calling radfems stupid for saying this post is virtue signaling, which is precisely what it is:

they are not being very subtle with the misogyny here:

addicted to lying, the lot of em:

2. “ why was Leanne's vault in worlds quals downgraded from a 4.8 SV to 4.2 SV? “
