#trans double standards

[hexagon-club]

It happened again:

As far as I can tell this man's "non-binary" identity mostly consisted of being a man who wears earrings. He was still making some sort of a claim to being biologically black and/or indigenous though. I say these race fakers take it to the next step and just go "all my ancestors as far back as I can trace them are white, but I am black and Cherokee because race is just a social construct, so I can be whatever I want." I mean, why not, that's objectively no less ridiculous than their weird gender science is. Funny how words are allowed to mean things in one situation, but not another.

my absolute favourite genre of transphobic propaganda is when the caption is like “look at this poor, confused little girl who was forced to mutilate herself :(” and the picture is just the hottest man you’ve ever seen in your life with a full beard and a body that would make thor weak at the knees

The idea that trans dudes who want to/have gotten pregnant are "traitors to their transition and masculinity" is transmedicalist as fuck actually.

And for a community (LGBTQ) that emphasizes that sex ≠ gender ≠ presentation... a lot of calls are coming from inside the house.

poverty au alternate names:

Empty Pockets

Sleep is for those with money

Fuck Coffee is expensive

giggles cause i got a name idea (thank you for the crane wives and thank you specifically that person who recommended mad dog to me. ive taken to calling it the kickback universe in my head so i guess that's what its called now) but that is definitely a vibe. i bet they splurged on that coffee machine soooo hard but they have like dollar store grounds and it tastes like shit and no creamer could save it. donnie drinks it black anyway which is a sin

its not like i could call it the "donnie is the only one with college opportunities because mikey is barely skirting by with Cs, leo had to drop out because unmedicated adhd, and raph skipped most opportunities for higher education especially with sports to focus on providing for the family, so donnie's doing running start while also working a job because his father's dercums progressed to a point where he cant even really go outside without being in immense pain because they dont have enough money or insurance to afford any real care (and no extended family to fall back on because splinter was cut off from them, other than a cousin across the country) and rely on april to drive them around, and then the landlord unexpectedly raises rent in an attempt to get them out and donnie because he's taken on the job of managing their finances decides to hide this from them and start working a SECOND job under the table that includes the fucking graveyard shift with a boss that barely pays him enough under the table and its partially because he's blasian AND trans, and this is also while he's going to running start college, while having a job to go to right after running start college, and also he has to worry about tutoring mikey and helping leo get a GED and groceries and like everything because he doesn't want to put more undue stress on raph who is the only line of support he would normally have here" au. although maybe it would be funny if i did?

i got carried away when making the joke. there's the premise i guess. i'll probably just write one big oneshot but because all of them have Prablems maybe i'll expand a little, right now im keeping the scope small so dont expect anything for a while since i have so much to do atm, i'll talk about if people want to hear more though! .... i did not expect to get as invested as i did. CANARY CONTINUITY FIRST

[ID: A screenshot of a tweet by LizzyButterfly / wokinggirl1 that reads: "When my sister married, and changed her title and name, my aunts were all, 'ooh, congratulations Mrs. [newname]'. When I transitioned and changed my title and name they were all 'it's too hard, I've always known you as…' If you're cis and you've done this, maybe reflect on why.". End ID.]

The best one that’s lost in my Meme horde: Mansplaining is acceptable when coming from a Trans Woman.

Why is it fine for allo ppl to talk and joke about how much they hate romance and how romance just sucks sooooo much but when an aro person does the same suddenly it's "romance negativity" and "incredibly problematic"?????

[jjkyaoi]

it’s interesting how people on tiktok love quirky silly phrases about womanhood like “girl dinner” “girl math” “i’m just a girl 🎀” but when it’s a trans woman, dylan mulvaney, making a silly feel-good song about her own experiences as a woman suddenly it’s her who doesn’t understand being a woman and her who’s perpetuating stereotypes, but if it was a cis woman, somebody like taylor swift or olivia rodrigo making a song like that, you would be all over and under the sound. just admit you’re a terf who sees trans women as intruding on ur space. that’s all there is to this, and that’s all there ever has been or will be

[moonssugar]

its weird that everyone loves transgenderfication beam jokes and "all my friends were closeted before we all came out one by one in middle school" jokes and "he's a woman to me" jokes and "transition could fix them" jokes but god in heaven forbid one (1) transfem makes an egg joke with her friends now we gotta denote every thermonuclear bomb at once (harass and suicide bait transfems until they deactivate)

[queeraliensposts]

I can't believe I live in a reality where a white woman who was falsely accused of rape can sell BLM merch, keep the money, and be praised by tik tok, but a queer musician that everyone thinks is "cringe" gets canceled and accused "profiting from a child's death" by talking about Nex Benedict in a tik tok he earned $0 from, where all he said was "this is why I make the music that I do".

What is up with so many binary trans people calling nonbinary/atypical bottom surgery mutilation, fetishistic, disgusting, something that makes them feel ill thinking about it? Like, what the actual fuck?! How are your bottom surgeries completely valid and yet ours aren’t?

why do you make so many characters who aren't trans into trans? /gen

Why do people in other fandoms ship canonically straight characters in gay relationships?

Why do we gravitate towards gay fiction in general?

Why does anyone do anything in fandom spaces?

It's fun. It's freeing. It's validating. In smut, it's hot. It's relatable when someone is like you, even if you do like works featuring characters that are unlike you. Because I read plenty of non-trans F/F and (gasp) F/M in original works and fanfiction alike. I write all of that too!

But nothing is quite like trans F/F to me, be it t4t or otherwise. So every character's eventual fate is sealed. At least one (1) of my fics will feature them as trans, and that's a guarantee.

I know it rubs some people the wrong way for reasons that are sadly fathomable, but that just makes the petty side of me more likely to write all their faves as trans women. Especially in roles they find uncomfortable. I want those people specifically to be uncomfortable with their own biases about the nature and vast spectrum of trans experiences.

To other authors, especially trans authors: make everyone trans. Doesn't matter if it's to make a woman a transmasc dyke or a demiboy or agender, or to make a man a trans woman or trans man or genderfluid. Or to make either nonbinary! Just do it. Make yourself happy with it.

Don't let your mind hire an inner cop that polices your freedom of thought*

P.S., Author mute as a feature exists on AO3, so I advise folks learn to use that.

Here’s another meme I made to vent my frustrations about the Disney Hatedom and the movie Nimona:
