Just so like... it's clear... anyone who censors words that contain "man" or "men" to anything like "xxn" that's TERF shit.

Any reference to women/womanhood that solely revolves around having a uterus or "womb" is TERF shit.

Any sentence where the OP says they support people being "trans identified" with quotes around ""transwomen"" or ""transmen"" is TERF shit.

I'm seeing a lot of you baby Tumblr gays out there not knowing what these specific TERF dogwhistles look like.

"Wombxxn" is an incredibly dumb way of spelling "woman" that treats the word "man" like a slur and also reduces women to their ability to give birth.

"Trans identified" is their way of saying "this person calls themselves trans, but I don't believe they are."

Saying "People should be allowed to identify however they wish, but we still need to protect women/children" IS TERF SHIT.

Learn to identify this garbage, because not all TERFs are going to spell out their intolerance for you. Some of them are going to try and seem reasonable and polite and normal, and it's fucking dangerous to our community.

Also unpack any internalized transphobia and your transmedicalism, because both those things will have you quickly siding with TERFs and bigots.

before i post this i want to point out that thomas/ine hall was intersex, had both male and female partners, and switched how he/she presented gender often- living as a man but going out as a woman. when he/she got caught his/her punishment, as court ordered, was to always wear a mix of male and female clothes in order to “shame” him/her. thomas/ine wasnt just gnc and trans, he/she was also intersex and one of the earliest doccumented intersex people. its important not to leave that out.

something i rarely see addressed on here in discussions of transmasculine bathroom issues is the difference between men's and women's rooms, and the way it excludes transmascs with vulvas.

I am a trans man pre-surgery of any kind. ideally i would like meta with UL, but for euphoria reasons primarily- STPs are expensive and a hassle, so i have no issue sitting to pee. i am 11 months on T and do not pass. using the women's room bothers me, but i live in the southern US so it's safer. i have no issue dealing with it to quickly piss and leave. what i do have an issue with, is when someplace claims to be trans inclusive, but in practice, is not.

i had a pretty awful night. my boyfriend and i had been planning to try out a local goth nightclub for weeks, and we finally got the chance to go. when walking in, there was a sign on the door that said "no racism, no homophobia, no transphobia..." etc. i was excited, thinking that i may actually be able to use the men's restroom for once! a few drinks in and the urge hit- i was feeling anxious, so i asked a staff member if it would be safe for me to use the men's room. "yes of course, we are very inclusive, there are plenty of trans people here." in i went and....

5 urinals, and one single stall- which was out of order.

i turned around and used the women's room. i had no choice. of course, there were 6 stalls in there.

this is not the first time i have experienced issues with men's rooms having a single stall- at a gay strip club, i ran into a similar problem, where the single stall in the men's room was not out of order, but instead, had a line of 20+ people. i, and a few other guys, opted to use the women's room instead of waiting (clearly this design flaw hurts cisgender men as well!)

men's rooms being built only with people with penises in mind, and often all but excluding anyone who needs a stall, is an issue that needs to be addressed far more often.

The transmasculine experience is being held responsible for the sins of cis men despite only having lived as a girl/woman and then as a trans person. Yes, cis men and trans men are (generally) the same gender, but are they treated like that? Look around you and tell me they’re treated like that.

Men* have a responsibility to unpack their experiences of male privilege and use their position to uplift others. But what male privileges does a trans guy whose egg cracked yesterday have to unpack? Or does he not count as a real man yet. How about closeted trans men? Trans men consistently treated as gnc women?

Male privileges are experiences and are conditional. You aren’t suddenly imbued with magical Male Privilege the moment you figure out you’re a guy. I’m not saying transmascs don’t need to watch their misogyny, because they do as does literally everyone. But things are more complicated than man = gender oppressor when you put trans (and intersex) experiences into the equation.

Every person who uses the term “non-men” owes my nonbinary lesbian ass $200 for financial compensation to read your shitty opinion following the term. You can direct funds into my CashApp. International exclusionists, I will give you my PayPal.

Now that Twitter's URL has officially changed, lets all join hands and remember that Elon Musk threw away one of the most recognizable, established brands of the past decade due to his personal chuunibyou fascination with the letter X.

tbh my opinion isnt so much that trans men cannot have male privilege. its that the way we understand male privilege is based in cis women, specifically otherwise privileged (esp. otherwise-gendered privilege, i.e gender-conforming/straight/perisex) cis women's understanding of gender as something static and inherent to who you are, rather than something fluid which is, in part, constructed by society and placed onto you separately in every moment.

can a trans man experience (cis) male privilege? yes. can a trans woman? yes. and so can a cis woman! hell, a femme perisex cis woman with a gender neutral name could if she's assumed to be a cis man on a resume. male privilege is not an on/off switch. the idea that it is stems from cissexist understandings of male/female as entirely separate and static categories which everyone can and must be understood through. trans people in feminism are expected to constantly defend and deflect accusations of being Privileged Male Oppressors by promising cis perisex women that our experiences are just like theirs! we don't have any scary opinions that don't align with their worldview! we swear we won't ever make them have to reflect on how being cis+perisex has biased them and potentially made their analysis of gender at all inaccurate! trans experiences are only considered valuable to cisfeminism to the extent that they reaffirm what cisfeminists already hold true. thats why they only ever want to talk about a very simplistic narrative around wages pre/post-transition. its extremely unthreatening to cis people because it presents transness in patriarchy as just going from one cis role to another; it doesn't ask cis feminists to expand their paradigm to include the ways in which trans people are treated as a class and their own complicity in transphobic oppression.

which is why trans men have been getting fucked over by trans-affirmng cisfeminism. because by virtue of having our gender acknowledged, we are expected to forfeit our place in the feminist movement and adopt the role of outsider along cis men*. and its also why trans women and MTX people get fucked over the minute they cannot or refuse to describe their experiences through the one or two approved narratives. cisfeminism cannot tolerate transness-as-transness. it has to be compressed and reduced and diluted into something that fits within a cis-centric framework. we aren't allowed to have nuanced and intersectional conversations about trans men & other trans folks relationship with male privilege, the things we have to sacrifice to there, how fleeting it can be, the fact that for some of us being read as "biologically male" is actively more dangerous than being read as female... if it isn't familiar to cis women, then it means you aren't really oppressed.

*cis men should not be outsiders in feminism either btw but thats another post

“Butch” means queerly masculine. That’s it. The end. It’s queer masculinity. If you are masc and queer about it, congrats, you can use butch. If you go oh no am I masc enough to use this or am I queer enough to use it my question is, “do you wanna use it?” If your answer is yes then hey welcome to the butch club. We have jackets.

I wish that lesbians would put some time and effort into talking about people who exclusively bottom without using feminine language

[butchtwinkimp]

Listen. New or questioning trans girl. People will say that wearing a skirt and panties giving you a boner is proof that what you're doing is unnatural. This is untrue. You are experiencing the sense of liking how you look: something most cis people have. You have begun to enjoy your body, something that has been absent for years. Your first kiss ever also will feel/felt that much more powerful. It's a little lame but just enjoy it for now.

i just wanted to say to every trans woman out there: conventional beauty is not the entry point to womanhood, no matter what you look like, you will always be a woman no matter what. while many people do want to be what we consider conventionally attractive, physical beauty is not a requirement to be a woman. even so, there are many people on this planet who will find you attractive no matter how you look

it's okay to be an average looking woman. it's okay to be a different looking woman. it's okay to be a strange or odd looking woman. it's okay to be an ugly woman. it's okay to be a woman who doesn't care about their personal appearance. it's okay to be a woman who doesn't care about shaving (face or body). it's okay to be a woman who never wears makeup and never fusses about their hair.

women come in all shapes, sizes and presentations; there are buttloads of cisgender women who are unkempt, messy, different or "strange" looking, or ugly. physical beauty is not a woman's worth. it's great to want to look beautiful and to be seen as pretty, that's absolutely okay, but just remember that your worth as a person does not stem from your physical appearance, no matter how many people will love to tell you otherwise. you have inherent worth because you're a person, no matter how you look. women can be just as varied as anyone else when it comes to appearance.
