#transphobe mention cw

to sum up SOME of the things happening in Argentina:

There's a nation wide manhunt for Loan, a toddler that disappeared in Corrientes (province that has borders with Paraguay, Brasil and Uruguay, three neighboring countries). Foul play has been suspected from day one. The family is believed to be involved by some people. The most popular on going theory is that he was sold to an international pedophile ring dedicated to buying kids from Latin American countries and selling them to people in power in the USA and aligned countries.

The court case connected to Tehuel, a trans young man that disappeared while going to a job opportunity he was offered by a local semi-political figure he was supposed to be able to trust, has been reopened. It is heavily theorized that this political figure, plus his partner and an accomplice, tortured and killed Tehuel for being trans. (There is a strong online theory that they fed him to the pigs after to get rid of his remains. Another popular theory is that they sold him to a human trafficking ring.)

The ex first lady, Fabiola Yañez, and ex president, Alberto Fernández, are in an ongoing legal battle after she was more or less forced to come forward and press charges against him for physical and psychological abuse. A lot of it was perpetrated while he was in office during the pandemic. He kept her locked up, isolated, and publicly blamed her for the things that went wrong during his presidential mandate. Unfortunately the media is having a field day with the pictures of Fabiola beaten up, basically showing off her bruised face and body while zooming in on the injuries. Fabiola had to come out and ask them to please stop showing those pictures as they are effectively re traumatizing her and her son.

Current president, Javier Milei, has effectively altered the employment contract law, taking away things that were meant to protect workers from corporate/employer greed and abuse. He has also effectively closed down the statal, official, ways to get in contact with authorities in case of gender based discrimination and abuse.

Current ruling political party (far right) is pushing forward a denial of facts and attempt at retelling our history by more or less saying that the last military dictatorship wasn't that bad, trying to pardon their sentences (even though the ones in charge of kidnapping, torturing, and disappearing people are living well while serving their sentences). A delegation met with one of the most heinous figure heads of the last dictatorship. A person from said delegation alleged it's old history and that people born during the 90s don't know and don't care about it.

Bro what is up with the transphobia in the notes of this post?

Like you can say "They WERE women."

YES, trans men do still experience misogyny because we were ONCE women, but experiencing mysogyny doesn't make us women!

also y'all, way to be transphobic in a post that is supposed to bring minorities together.

[blazing-butterfly]

Transphobes will say "we need someone to inspect children's genitals and grant or deny them permission to pee, to protect them from being molested by sexual weirdos" without any hint of irony or self-awareness

[babyqueersstuff]

okay for some reason im only just now hearing about Nex Benedict??? (i believe thats how you spell their last name)

its so fucking sick and twisted. not only the fact that there are people out there who view them as filth, but also the fact that

that could've been me.

that queer sixteen year old, who's six feet under right now?

that. could've. been. me.

in a chick fil a bathroom, minding my own business. at my youth group. just trying to exist.

someone, someone who knows me well enough to know that im queer, could've cornered me, and bashed my fucking skull in.

there are people out there who hate me. who hate US. and they want us dead.

they were just a young person. just like me. we could've known each other, in a different life. i'd like to think we might've even been friends, y'know?

idk. im so tired of this. we're just trying to exist. and they hate us. we aren't people to them, we're scum to be eradicated.

i keep wishing for a better world for us, and then shit like this happens. and it makes me think that we won't ever get there.

the actual hatred some people have for addicts is fucking disgusting

[possumsinpeoplesuits]

Look, guys, I know we're all angry right now, but do you know how many people each year are killed by cars covered in hammers that explode more than a few times and make hammers go flying everywhere? How do you think the families of those people who're killed by cars covered in hammers that explode more than a few times and make hammers go flying everywhere feel when you make light of their very real loss?

We can't just assume a threat about a totally real cause of death for almost 0 people is made as a joke, guys, we have to immediately take it seriously and report it to the FBI's cars covered in hammers that explode more than a few times and make hammers go flying everywhere task force (The CCIHTEMTAFTAMHGFETF for short) to be immediately unpersoned and made into the filling for those 2 for 0.99 Jack in the Box tacos.

If we bend the totally existent rules and don't treat a harassed minority as if her every word and action is done out of pure unadulterated malfeasance, what do you think will happen? That's right, everyone else will think that it's just okay to have cars covered in hammers that explode more than a few times and make hammers go everywhere, and the CCIHTEMTAFTAMHGFETF would be overwhelmed.

So, please. Take a moment to think on who's the real victim here, a minority targeted by repeated harassment for years, or the brave CEO who's dealing with the psychological stress of learning that someone wants him to be near a car covered in hammers that explodes more than a few times and makes hammers go flying everywhere?

If we don't stand with this poor man through this, people might think it's okay to be trans I MEAN MAKE TOTALLY REAL THREATS AGAI-

After minutes of Loomis trying to get it out, he still hadn't cleared it up at all for his friend.

“Do you want me to keep calling you Loomis-?” Vincent asked, confused.

“Yeah-! Yeah... Man, I hate this-”

That escaped Lom's mouth before he really wanted it to, if he did at all.

“I’ve never- just sat down and came out to someone, you know?”

Vin was so confused.

“Wh-”

He thought. Hard.

'I cannot be this stupid can I?'

…

'Holy fuck maybe I am that stupid.'

The ‘T’ in LGBT.

“Are you trans?”

Loomis cringed at the word. He also didn’t know if he was reading Vin's tone right, or if his own stress was twisting it.

Mind was reeling with what might happen in the next thirty seconds, a dozen possibilities at least.

He shifted his feet subtly. In case he had to move.

“Yeah,”

“No,”

He started to look like Vin again. The guy Loomis had danced with, not a threat.

“No! You- I just was not,”

Loomis lifted his mug again, laughing incredulously.

“That was.. a response I wasn’t planning for,”

'Of course, I shouldn’t have assumed he was clueless, or transphobic, just- Good lord. He’s chill. He’s fine with it,'

“Oh-”

'Why?'

“What response were you expecting?” Vincent asked, cautious.

Stirred the coffee cup again.

“Oh, mate, nothing personal,”

Lom put his other hand up, palm facing Vin. Still kind of winding down.

“Just like ninety-nine point nine percent of people wouldn’t have been so nonchalant,"

I hate it when people say that people choose to be trans, or say that being trans is a choice

This week my dysphoria got so bad that I was considering death, I hated my body so much in that moment that I considered ruining my own prospects for a better life. If being trans was a choice, I don't think I'd choose to be trans, because of the dysphoria. Because of that suffering. Yes I've become part of a community and I've gotten closer with some good friends. Yes I've had happy moments. This does not negate the fact that I hate my body so much that I will start HRT and I'll spend money to start to make this body mine, make this body one that I feel I can be actually proud of.

If being trans was a choice then people in the world wouldn't have moments when their dysphoria is so bad that reaching for rope or metal feels like a better alternative to life

If being trans was a choice then there wouldn't be so much controversy about laws for trans people, it would be a simple choice like a tattoo or a piercing

If being trans was a choice then I would be happier, happier with my body, happier with my existence.

I hate all that say "being trans is a choice" because it shows how negligent they are to the lives of trans people.

I would like to clarify that not every trans person experiences dysphoria, no, and they are just as valid as trans people who do.

I dislike the people who are negligent of the pain that some trans people experience, negligent of the struggles trans people face so often in society

No, not everyone is trans-phobic, but not everyone understands. The ones who are so trans-phobic that they yell and scream in the streets or hold up signs or petition laws are so loud and it makes me feel like so few people actually care about or understand trans people.

DO NOT READ IF YOU'RE SENSITIVE TO CW TAGS MENTIONED.

Hey guys, so, seems like I have a secret admirer who honours me by dropping anon hate in my inbox daily. Sometimes even twice. I won't give them the satisfaction of publishing their very unsettling messages, but know my friends:

If you get this obsessed with a random person on the internet and dedicate time to keep creating profiles to be able to access anonymous asks and send in messages full of suicide baiting, sexism, racism, transphobia and ableism...you should seek help. Really.

That's all I'm going to say about this.

Seek help, you have serious mental issues and you need treatment before this hatred eats you up. I'm concerned for the safety of you and people around you.
