If you're against perisex people using labels like AFAB transfem and AMAB transmasc, please kindly shut the fuck up. If you're against perisex people using pronoun sets such as shi/hir please kindly shut the fuck up.
I, myself, am intersex. I do not *care* if Sally sees her womanhood through a trans lens while being perisex AFAB. I am an avid believer that enforcing the notion that such labels are 'exclusive' to intersex people is harmful. 'Oh but shi/hir has been used against us!!!' That is not the fault of Billy, who just vibes with the pronoun set.
The sooner we as a community can realize that these 'progressive' boxes aren't much better than the ones made by our oppressors, the better.

Being intersex means you get to have weird shit like having certain AFAB external genitalia while being reassigned AMAB by the government so now that makes you the first ever AMAB trans man
Sorry I just found this whole situation I'm in very funny
that is funny but also extremely fucking badass i'm not gonna lie at ALL. i have met other AMAB trans men, but i hope you know that you are cool as hell for being Government Assigned AMAB trans man. swag as fuck

hi. i saw your post and the ask replying to you about feeling like you should be transfem and. GOD i. it brought me to tears ?? i’ve been struggling with these feelings for years and i didn’t know there was anyone else like us ( we’re a did system. for context ). thank you for sharing you experience. i’m unable to express how much it means to me
yes hi!!! ive found a fair few others who feel similarly! many are also multiple/plural/similar (and many are intersex as well). you're not alone!!
(i feel similarly about bi lesbian / bi gay, male lesbian, girlfag & guydyke, ursula (female bear), ... all very genderqueer & genderfuck & anarcha-queer &&&...)

I don't care if somebody was "born a man" or "born a woman"
We were fucking born as babies, I frankly don't care what you were "born to be," so long as you are happy in the here and now. That's what matters more, not this bioessentialist "you're born this way, and nothing you do or say matters more than how you were born"

y'know what? I'm gonna say it
asking if someone is afab or amab is transphobic
the only people who need to know what gender you were assigned at birth are medical professionals and potentially sexual partners. otherwise, there is literally no reason anyone needs to know your agab
"but I have trauma with amab people" "but afab people are annoying" that sounds like a you problem and does not justify asking people what's in their pants. because that is what you are doing – just with politically correct terminology
you cannot call yourself a trans ally and then ask to know what's in someone's pants. end of story
(also? some people aren't afab or amab. neither sex nor gender are binary)

shoutout to the trans and nonbinary men, mascs, etc. who were AMAB (or not AFAB). you dont get enough love, let alone recognition. you deserve better and i absolutely adore your gender. i am giving you the biggest hug, if you want one. double hug if you're intersex.

Hi I'm AMAB and identify as non-binary but I kind of feel like the word transmasc fits me because I feel like I'm trans and I also feel as if my gender (and presentation) is masculine as well but I feel very weird calling myself that because I'm AMAB and I just want to get your opinion if that's like disrespectful or if I'm looking for a different word? Idk this gender stuff be confusing
gender is extremely confusing, don't feel bad about it- i've heard from a lot of people who have similarly complicated situations. i've gotten asks from low T AMAB people who feel very similar to trans men because of how they're perceived by society, called "girly", etc. and it makes them feel like they aren't a man in the same way a cis man is.
i'm intersex personally so i identify as both transmasc and transfem and i know that would bother some people, but that's not the point, the point is to figure out who you are, you know? i've had to transition for BOTH my masculinity and my femininity. I've had to fight to be seen as both female and male. I am just as transfem as I am transmasc, and it's taken me years to come to terms with the fact that i'm transfem even though some would consider me AFAB, which i'm not.
i don't think it's disrespectful if that's truly how you feel, intersex or not. if you feel like you have to transition into your maleness for whatever reason, if you have to put effort into being seen as male, if you view your body in such a way where you'd like changes or feel like it's not quite right, there's nothing wrong with that.
basically, you're not hurting anyone as long as you aren't choosing to speak over afab trans men when it comes to topics about Them. that's it, that's the only way you're doing something wrong. there are a lot of people who feel just like you.

How do you respond to people who try to argue against various gender affirming surgeries with anorexic people wanting liposuction? I tried to point out that theres a lot of gender affirming surgeries for cis people who dont feel feminine/masculine enough, but my sister said that those people need therapy too. I feel that there's a difference between trans people and anorexic people but idk how to put it into words, im scared i accidentally made her more transphobic bc i didnt have arguments :(
Good question! It's important to question and critique our ideas of what separates "good, natural desires which should not be changed" from "bad, unnatural desires which should be changed," and I think sometimes trans people are too quick to reaffirm this binary in our attempts to defend transness.
I would say that the difference here is based in anxieties. Anorexia is born out of anxiety- which is to say, a persist concern over something that triggers strong emotional reactions and which you keep returning to over and over and over without resolution. Dysphoria can and does cause anxiety, but you can be dysphoric without having anxiety over it. You can have dysphoria, find relief, and be satisfied with your body, while there is never any satisfaction point with eating disorders. There is always a feeling of "not enough" because the desire to be skinnier is born out of anxiety over what it means to be fat & fatness' place in society (lesser value, moral weakness, medical abuse, etc.).
Like I said, dysphoria can and does cause anxiety. There are trans people who obsess over their bodies being too masculine/feminine because they are concerned with what it means for them to be too masculine/feminine: it means they aren't real, they are ugly, they're failure. And this is why its important for trans people to sit with our dysphoria and analyze it. If you are constantly worrying about your body being "real" enough, no amount of surgery or HRT will fix that (although it may fix many things).
Now, I am generally against any solution thats like "we should stop Those People from doing x because We know whats best for them!" because autonomy is a vital part of my beliefs, and I think that people rarely ever react well to being banned from doing something Because Mother Knows Best. The real goal with, say, EDs, is to get rid of the artificial desire for thinness by combating fatphobia (ah, if only all the anti-ED campaigns out there did this). The same with plastic surgery: I would much rather we focus on dismantling the system that makes people (esp. perceived women) feel they need to make their bodies fulfill the beauty standard, than saying that plastic surgery is Evil and we should stop anyone from ever getting it, because those little people aren't capable of using their basic right to bodily autonomy correctly. When we ban something, what we really want is to change people's desires. But that requires cultural change, and laws don't create cultural change out of thin air. Its like how yelling at your kids doesn't make them more honest or better people, it just makes them better liars.
Given that trans people exist in every society, potentially going back to the Stone Age, even after we unwork systemic misogyny & homophobia, trans people are still gonna want surgeries. So we should just work on combating those things instead of trying to control people's bodies.

I feel like... Perhaps... Arguing that transphobia is defined by murder and that anything other than murder doesn't even matter... May NOT be conducive to fighting for trans rights.
Like... people want the right to exist as they are. They want to have access to hrt and surgeries and prosthetics. People want access to clothes that fit them and reflect how they want to be seen. People want access to medical care (eg. Getting screened and treated for sex-based forms of cancer can be impossible if you have the "wrong" sex listed to receive those tests). People want to be respected and treated well. People want to not be sexually assaulted and beaten and abused. People want to have access to housing and jobs, and the protection to not lose those things for being trans. People want access to shelters for homeless people or survivors of domestic abuse. People want name changes.
Acting like all of those things don't matter because at least they weren't murderered by an individual (and instead die of suicide or state violence, or survive and suffer) isn't okay.
#'hey people are forcibly detransitioning you and raping and beating you and you lost your job and are going to be homeless and#probably die of infection from being stabbed for trying to go to the bathroom. but at least you arent part of a demographic that has a#higher murder victim rate! shhh just ignore that we dont actually have data on the murder rate of your group.'#do ppl like. forget state based violence exists. and that thats most violence minorities face.#idk man im just. mad about people on here acting like youre only oppressed if youre a perisex trans woman who was AMAB.#cause i exist at the intersection of multiple minorities and being told hey u experience violence but at least you wont be murdered by an#individual feels like a slap in the face.#like it doesnt matter if i have to mask my neurodivergent behaviour bc if people see they could assume im on drugs and call the police and#i could potentially be really hurt but not die but hey at least i wont die just be horrifically traumatized by police brutality!#there are millions of people with mental illnesses similar to my own around the world who are institutionalized and forcibly medicated or#living on the streets or dependant on horrifically abusive caregivers#but hey at least they arent being murdered!#like. the way the transphobia discussion on tumblr rn discusses (and doesnt discuss) race and ability and class and health makes me#feel very invisible.#like if people had to choose who to believe about my experiences between listening to me a black/mixed mentally ill maybe disabled (used to#be disabled) hella nd trans nonbinary person#or listen to a white middle class trans woman's take on my experiences that theyd choose her. its such a weird weird microcosm.#its like a monkeys paw like people are finally listening to trans fems and finally recognising the violence they experience and finally#actually caring about them but for some reason decide that in order to do that its necessary to throw every other minority under the bus#like fuck man have you seen how 'anti transandrophobia truthers' discuss race? its NOT okay#we all matter we all are so similar and are part of the same groups and same communities we need to stick together#stop using trans fems as a battering ram to hurt other minorities challenge#cause like. yes its some trans fems. but its mostly NOT?#like its non trans fems telling other non trans fems that they arent oppressed#and even when many trans fems are like what the fuck dude of course other trans ppl matter whats wrong with you#the group of like 80% non trans fems 20% trans fems are like 'hmm if you are defending other trans people you must not really be trans fem'#like. denying trans fems their identity bc they disagree with them?? dude someone doesnt stop being a trans fem cause they recognise#people other than trans fems matter and exist#its just all so WEIRD its a weird little tumblr microcosm#i wanna stress. for those of you who dont have access to other lgbtq+ communities. how much it seems to be primarily a tumblr thing. to

So cringe how there's TERF shit on the AFAB trans woman/AFAB transfem tag/s. So, to cleanse the palette, this post aims to celebrate my fellow AFAB transfems who aren't just TERF-y trans men in denial.
Oh, and AMAB transmascs are cool asf too.
Perisex or intersex, your identity is valid; people have made 'intersex exclusive' terms for the same experience already, so don't let people discourage you from using AFAB transfem/AMAB transmasc labels if you're perisex. -an intersex person who also struggles with feelings of invalidity surrounding this topic
Gender is fucking weird; if there is an AFAB girl and they feel like a girl in a trans way, what the fuck are you gonna say to that person? 'Oh you're just cis lol' ? Fuck that. Of course though, that individual is perfectly allowed to use 'cis' as a descriptor if they so desire, that's the beauty of minding our own business when it comes to the identities of others.
You — and I cannot emphasize this enough — are VALID, and it doesn't even matter if others think you're valid, either. Your identity is not up for debate, identities don't have to be seen as 'valid' in order for someone to identify with them. I hope you can remember that when you have some fucker in your DMs or what have you crying about how your existence 'harms' the community (cuz they're wrong).
