Only now did I realise I'm following both your main and alt, is that a problem? Thing is, it seems I've reblogged from both blogs, I guess that could cause (or is causing) issues down the line?

it's fine! dw about it

this was on a sub where people largely do just take the piss, but i went through their profile and like it was largely similar to this

just annoying that there was a lot of people engaging with this positively but i can only hope it was because of the nature of the sub idk

some people have never been on grindr and it shows

i am just going to say it. baeddelism is white woman feminism for white trans women. it is v clear that ppl understand that queerness does not absolve their whiteness until it’s white trans women.

the number of trans woc who pull this shit is so low. i have met some but the vast majority of this community is white and i can’t imagine why.

ur not any different from any other white person trying to claim which part of their identity makes them the most oppressed on the earth. we see it with white neurodivergent ppl. we see it with white disabled ppl. we see it with white transmascs! white transfems are still white and understand feminism through a white lens like any other white woman does.

I think the reason that us vs them antisemitic language is used to discredit transandrophobia theory is because "transandrophobia truthers" makes us sound like a coordinated group with a very specific agenda instead of what we are: a group of individuals with very different opinions on the subject participating in an open discussion about various issues using a specific word to better describe and explain those issues. By making us seem like feds or a psyop or whatever, it's easier to discredit what we're saying by going "oh, they're just trying to sabotage our discussions" instead of actually tackling the substance of what we are talking about. Because if they decided to tackle the substance of what we're saying, they would probably agree with us.

I talked about this in the tags of one of my other posts but I think this should be its own post so here it is. Trying to criticize trans gay men for the words we reclaim, even if you don't know why we reclaim them, doesn't make you the good guy in the situation. Even if you're a trans guy yourself, ask yourself why you feel the need to differentiate between the "good" people of the community using the "right" words, and the "bad" people reclaiming the "wrong" words.

Historically everything we called ourselves has been taken right from the mouths of people who wanted us not to exist. Before the word "trans" even existed, we were just fags. Ask yourself why you feel the need to police what we call ourselves; because I guarantee you it comes from the implicit bias of our oppression being "lesser" due to widespread erasure of our experiences and existence. If you're okay with cis gay men calling themselves slurs, why aren't you okay with trans men calling ourselves autohomoerotic? After all, that's a word that transandrophobes call me to fetishize my existence and dehumanize me.

Really examine why you have the reactions you do to gay trans men using what few words we have to talk about the nature of our existence as it relates to society.

Actually, regarding that anon that @genderkoolaid got earlier today about cis women identifying as gay men—I have some thoughts.

Before there was really any awareness of transmasculinity, before there was really any mainstream transmasc activism, there were in fact "cis women" who identified as gay men—AFAB people who would go about most of their lives as women, exclusively attracted to men, but would be active members of queer men's communities. And they were definitely oppressed, they faced sexual assault, and they very much faced homophobia. They would call themselves faggots and while cis gay men would oppress them too, they existed, and none of this stopped them from proudly identifying as fags.

Today, most of those people would probably be considered trans men, but I don't really care about the words "trans man" and "cis woman." In fact, I don't really care about gender at all. If a faggot wants to be a faggot, who is anyone else to stop xem?

The truth of the matter is that female faggots, FTM faggots, nonbinary trans faggots—they're my brothers. And really I feel like cis women faggots are the same as me, not because I am cis or a woman, but because there was never a meaningful border between us anyway, and I'm not one to create one. 50 years ago we were one and the same, and we will always share the past that made us who we are.

Some girls were born to be faggots and if trying to get rid of us has failed for thousands of years, it's not going to work this time.

I've been seeing a disturbing trend amongst monosexual queer ppl recently where bisexuals and mspecs will be like "hey can you please not be biphobic towards us in [gay/lesbian] spaces?" and monosexual gays/lesbians will reply with "well don't you know bisexuals are not just part gay part straight? i think you're the real biphobe here :/" and aside from that being wrong I think that it's indicative of the entitlement to bisexuality that a lot of us monosexuals have. We think, whether consciously or not, that we should be able to define a person's bisexuality and what that means for them instead of listening to what they have to say about it. And it's downplaying and excusing monosexual queer people's biphobia by using the "talking about [x]phobia in [y] context means you see [y] as [x] and that makes you the REAL [x]phobe!!!!" rhetorical strategy.

Updated TEHM Blocklist

It's time for round 1.2 of the TEHMie awards! Here is the updated version of the TEHM blocklist. Please note that this opens a google drive file. Also, here's my obligatory "don't harass anyone on here just block them." I added a ton of new people this time because TEHMblr were being clowns on my posts.

PSA

TEHMs have reportedly started using the ⚔️ emoji to identify one another, so if you see someone with that in their profile, just do a quick search on their profile to make sure they're normal about trans people.

Hi I have momentarily awakened from my inactivity to tell you that I'm working on another TEHM blocklist and will be dropping it here soon! Also my asks + DMs are open for whatever but I can't guarantee that I'll answer everything.

I'd like to point out something about how we (the trans community) frame discussions of violence against specific trans people if it's okay?

"Transfems/mascs more typically face a b and c than x y and z" - can be a good nuanced discussion, though it's important to make sure that this is actually true and not obfuscated by complex dynamics of erasure and/or hypervisibility.

"Transfems/mascs face mostly ONLY a b and c rather than the (implied worse) x y and z": invalidating, bad, and often untrue besides, plus ignores intersections of non-trans identities, such as how sanism and neuroableism play into transphobia.

"Within the trans community, x group faces the highest rates of y": something to be very cautious about, because the reason you're making the point matters a ton, and emphasizing that all trans people face higher rates of x is often going to be crucial. "X group faces the highest rates of y so we should make sure to explicitly do outreach and prevention aimed specifically at them so that they know the resource is open to them" is different than "X group faces the highest rates of y while non-x-group faces the highest rates of z and this affects intracommunity discussions in this way" - but both are WILDLY different than "X group faces the highest rates of y so why is any other group complaining about it" or "X group faces the highest rates of y so no other trans group has a significant issue with this".

"Transfems/mascs don't face x" 99 percent of the time, there will be enough exceptions to make this untrue. Just the fact that there are people that get regularly mistaken by people in positions of systemic power above them for being trans in a different way than they are should prove this. Intersexism and transphobia sharing a significant portion of the playbook (and I say this as an intersex trans person) should prove this. The fact that some people are transfemmasc should prove this. The fact that hormones and surgery can RADICALLY change your medical needs should prove this.

(No shade to the person who sent an ask kind of like that, it sounds like they took your feedback to heart on it. Just pointing out more of why it's just not useful or accurate language.)
