*motions for my fellow trans afab peeps*

hey, I know that we've been dealing with transmeds using theyfabs to invalidate our existence... but you gotta understand that words can have different meaning and the widespread use of it by trans women right now is specifically with the meaning of someone that is afab and being transmisogynistic by trying to slap down their asab over trans women's real material complaints. look for context. theyfab isn't a slur and I'm honestly all in for that to be the most accepted context because I refuse to validate a transmed's train of thought. I will listen to trans women though when they talk about their oppression, and you should too.

*pats you on the back* good talk

#mnemospeaks #and because I've seen it floating around #i'm not really a fan of benjanun but she wasn't being anti-trans masc for shits and gigs #she called out a trans inclusive authors list have 0 transfems on it #and they decided to attack her on her past instead of owning up to their oversight #that's transmisogyny baybeee #and when trans women tried to speak out #they implied that benjanun controlled them #like no #they're talking for themselves #and benjanun was sticking up for them #and starting to get nasty with transmascs who refused to drop their issue with her tone and language #aand instead focus on what the issue was #anywho #tldr #theyfab is for afabs that decice to use their asab as a cudgel to silence transfemmes #that's it #that's the context in the transfemme community #get the fuck over it and look past insults and figure out why you're getting insulted on the first place maybe???
