#transphobes on twt

[ilikedetectives]

Got spammed (likely bot) on the bird app today with shit ai stuff full of transphobia like 'you'll never be a woman' etc. I am a cis woman but because I go by Colin (name chosen when I barely spoke English, but ended up liking it) and she/they pronouns, people often think I'm trans. I will keep my space as safe as possible for my fellow LGBTQ peeps because you are loved and welcome here. Please stay safe.

genuinely glad sonic twt is getting acknowledged as a very negative space with a lot of problems but also i cant bring myself to talk shit myself bc they unfortunately pay my bills

AN UPDATE BUT PLEASE READ ALL THE WAY THROUGH!:

In response to MASS public outcry including the organizing of protest to be outside their headquarters in JP, KADOKAWA has rescinded their decision to translate Irreversible Damage: the transgender craze seducing our daughters.

This, however, does not negate the fact that they planned to originally and made an incredibly dodgy thread about how “they’re against discrimination but…” and have done similar things in the past and I urge ppl to consider this when spending money on KADOKAWA publications

didnt wanna add it to that last rb but like that fuckin lesbian discourse shit is so stupid. "lesbians cant ever date men for any reason ever" kinda bullshit with no fuckin nuance whatsoever. what if theres a lesbian dating a system do they just gotta break up every time a man is fronting or something

[ilumel]

[bandzboy]

the amount of transphobia going around these past few weeks has been disgusting i am so god damn disgusted rn

[vampelune]

i find it weird the way people have been making fun of transmascs who don’t want to be totally masc when they transition (i.e. a lot of body hair, balding, getting bulkier) like it’s completely normal for someone - especially someone who is nonbinary transmasc to want a certain androgynous look still? but to still pass as reasonably amab/not afab and not be clocked

like its not just “you’re just mad that being a trans man doesn’t make you an uwu anime boy” like no 😭 im uncomfortable being hyperfemme/clocked as female as much as i dislike being Too Masc, i want androgyny

like tf would you say that to amab twinks who get laser hair removal and even taken doses of estrogen to be more gnc/feminine “ur mad that being a man isnt being an anime twink boohoo” stfu

i am so fucking sad tonight and i used to put that stuff on here like a decade ago so here we are again ig. just.

really horrid combination of things happening right now and it makes me extra upset bc i'm into my second month on low-dose t and the first month was going so fucking well for like. being conducive to the last of my trauma recovery? and then, of course, recovery isn't linear and also my parents seem intent to retraumatise me whenever they can. but like.

english terf hits our shores

completely inescapable discourse, and also targeted abuse, on twitter and elsewhere. also i wrote an op-ed bc our media are useless and we need at least a few trans voices out there (hopefully it does get picked up, but it was gruelling to write)

my mother switches from spreading conspiracy theories about climate change to a sudden and vicious focus on trans people. not that she ever stopped being a bigot but usually it's one post every few months about how conversion therapy works and not several posts a day from people who want trans people murdered

scheduled to be interviewed for a study on conversion therapy survivors on tuesday

scheduled to go on holiday with my family on thursday. i booked a separate room so i won't have to attempt to take my (oral, twice daily with food, specifically bc the endo didn't want me on injections until we knew for sure i wouldn't need to suddenly stop t to avoid extended ptsd episodes) testosterone around family who would be very willing to attempt conversion therapy round fucking four on me

i have no idea if my job will still be there for me when i get back from this scheduled leave bc [gestures at tech companies and ai]

conference all day monday (tomorrow, technically) that i know will eat all my spoons, and that doesn't cater for my dietary needs so i'll have to pack food

and it's like. i am so sad. i am so so sad. i have been making a concerted effort w my family because my paatti (dad's mother) is in town, the one i've talked about before who doesn't know i'm gay and married bc my parents have prevented that happening. and i feel so lonely and so cut off bc as a diaspora/migrant family, and a mixed one at that, my only connection to my cultures is via my parents who fucking hate who i am. so i've been trying to hang out with her when they're not around. i said yes to this vacation, we'll get more time together and some pictures and stuff.

but i'm still fielding her questions about why i don't have a boyfriend. and my parents have decided to, right when i'm most stressed about being trans, and about connection to family, be the worst people they can be about it again i guess? and it's true that my conversion therapy/parental/religion trauma is the stuff i've never come back around to working on in therapy bc my parents are actively reopening the wound every few months and it's. hard to work with that.

fucking like. shocking that i recovered from ptsd once, after [black box of getting csaed more times than i can count], immediately got groomed in a way that's rly fucking complicated to talk about bc my ex is a trans woman who decided to come out as a child-grooming rapist and as trans in the same month, and terfs salivate over the idea of using people like her as a cudgel, and completely forgot that approximately 300 other things, sa and otherwise, happened to me along the way to the point where my psych said she was surprised/proud i haven't killed anyone yet.

so i'm sad about all of them at once rn except the brain injury means i can only hold about two in my active memory at a time and i keep alternating which ones i'm sad about like shuffling several decks of cards really fast i guess.

absolutely insane how i've never EVER seen a SINGLE person misgender yamato or call him a girl on tumblr. and yet on twitter i have seen TWO people gender him correctly. TWO people. EVER. twitter is a cesspool and i hate the twt one piece fandom with an unbearably intense burning fury

I went to a Mabon gathering on Sunday and it just really made me think about how I was in a group of people whose identities are discoursed about online constantly and how it... did not matter because we were having a good time. like I am not wording this well at all but I don't get why so many people care about these things? other than the fact that they obviously spend no time with queer people in real life aside from maybe a few they deem acceptable.

its ur friendly reminder that i hate rx
