I've noticed a trend behind the use of the label "transsexual" vs. "transgender".

Oftentimes transmedicalists use transsexual to differentiate themselves from the rest of the trans community.

It's disheartening and quick frankly, appaling.

You will not achieve acceptance in a cisheteronormative society by distancing yourselves from the "bad" or "confusing" trans folks.

Transsexual is a wonderful label, and we cannot allow transmedicalists to take ownership of it.

Good morning this just a fun reminder that "brain gender" is pseudoscience brain phrenology and that natural sciences (medicine) don't have any more of an understanding of sex and gender than social sciences (sociology) do.

The distinction between "hard" science and "soft" science is stupid and you should re-evaluate the ways in which you prioritize one over the other and why, especially if you consider yourself an activist! Examine your biases!!

"if you could be cis, would you ?"

not i fucking wouldn't. not at all. that shit is not me. sure you can be trans and wish to be cis but simply not all trans people want to be cis. if i was a cis man i wouldnt have the life and experience i do. i see nothing wrong with being trans and neither should you. i actually did want to be cis. when i was a trans med. i only felt this way because i had self hatred and hated being trans. trans medicalism is harmful to every trans person, even trans meds themselves. a lot of trans meds have some sort of internalized transphobia. when i first came out at 15 i was shamed and basically told i wasn't "really trans" because i was feminine and not masculine. that shit is harmful. gender dysphoria isn't even exclusive to trans people. some cis people CAN have gender dysphoria. this is not a requirement to be trans. when i was a trans med i also thought there was only 2 genders. but i had to unpack that shit and so should you. because the statement that "there's only 2 genders" is rooted in colonization. you are supporting a colonizer idea. i love being a gay transsexual, i would not want to be cis. i am who i am because of things like being gay, trans, autistic, etc. and no i am not "making things my whole personality." taking pride in all of my identities is not me "making it my whole personality." there's trans people without gender dysphoria. just like theres cis people with gender dysphoria. and no, medical transition is not a requirement. trans does not mean transition. plus not everyone can afford such things. trans meds please rethink your ideas and see how harmful they actually are.

Anti-transmasc logic:

Saying cis women can have a problem with misogyny in their community while recognizing not all are misogynistic: good ✅

Saying transmascs can have a problem with misogyny in their community while recognizing not all are misogynistic: good ✅

Saying transfemmes can have a problem with misogyny in their community while recognizing not all are misogynistic: you are The Transmisogynist ❌

People call way too many things 'woke.'

Such as people being offended by the term cisgender being used. It's the opposite of transgender. And people don't realize how stupid they look using the term 'biological' in replacement of cisgender. A biological woman is very different from a cis woman.

You're including anyone born as one sex no matter their identity if you say 'biological.' And you are referring specifically to someone whose gender identity aligns with society's views based off their sex, if you use the term cisgender.

And the people that use the term 'normal' in replacement of 'cisgender' are more than likely to be referring to trans people as abnormal, and putting cis people on a pedestal in the process. They're so scared of using accurate terms and call them 'woke terms' as a way of trying to put shame on them.

Who Thinks Trans Gatekeeping Helps Them

People whose only coping strategy for their insecurities around their gender is to tear down other people who are just trying to exist, not knowing how this comes back to bite people like them as well

Who Trans Gatekeeping Actually Helps

TERFs

That's it

Of course I'll post about exorsexism and binarism, scarcely anyone in the trans community is talking about it.

Kim Petras collabing with Sam Smith is still so odd to me because she liked that super exorsexist post (the one that hunter Schafer commented on) and it's like why is sam collaborating with her like she doesn't even think theyre really trans or that nonbinary issues matter

Transmeds who blame uprisings in transphobia on nonbinary people or people with xenogenders genuinely piss me off

It's so fucking victim blaming and awful to say people's bigotry that also harm and target us is OUR fault because our identity is "to weird" or "insane" or any other shitty reason to blame us, trans people, for our own fucking oppression.

Transphobia is the problem. Not other trans people. And, in fact, it especially targets those of us being used as scapegoats because our very fucking existence is treated as a political point for why our community is wrong and why people like us shouldn't exist.

Dude how can I get rid of terfs literally ANYWHERE? These fuckers are like fucking roaches they crawl out of nowhere when you least expect it and there is never just the one. I was trying to ask for anonymous help on Reddit but some transphobe put the pieces together and started dissing this support group for queer and gender questioning people I'm in like it's the only place I feel safe and she not only immediately misgendered me in Portuguese but also started calling them perverts and pedophiles which is absolutely insane to me. I have been regularly going to these meetings for almost two years and they've been nothing but respectful, polite, and kind and they even make sure that everyone feels safe and isn't triggered by anything and when there are kids in the room everyone just tones down swears and sex talk like... What the fuck honestly? And she's in a bunch of subreddits for mental health giving dogshit advice. She's in the transmedical sub saying gender isn't real??? Like what in the name of the lord is going on and why is a triggering person like this on the loose out there pushing people off cliffs? I want to report to the mods because she or he or it since gender isn't real to this lunatic but I'm still in shock? And I'm scared that this deranged fucker knew what I was talking about and what it can do with the information? I kind of want to warn the support group honestly. They are very respected and are the ones on the frontline helping trans and queer people in need and here's the thing right? They're not even anti transmedical because they understand that some people have that stance and it's not necessarily a terrible person like this one seems to be. This lunatic even went as far as to say oh you'll feel worse than ever before because of these perverts and I'm like... Um actually these people have kept me somewhat afloat for over two years? What the hell? God this was the depression subreddit what the fuck is this lunatic doing there? And I saw the post history. Literally even going as far as diagnosing people with things based on their post history. Dude what in the world? I'm just completely flabbergasted

I’m sorry but until xenogenders and neopronouns can understand that I don’t want to “share my pronouns”, that I want to go through life as a normal, binary man, that I want assumptions to be made, that t isn’t some fun thing but a medical necessity for the rest of my life, that being trans isn’t a celebration but a condition for me and that I never want to be in a pride parade or even really open about it, until y’all can respect that, every single one of you, at least the fucking majority of you, then i can’t take anything seriously. I have been outed, assaulted, misgendered, and a whole bunch of other shit by “Tucutes” who walked all fucking over me as a binary trans person, I’ve been forced to be okay with they/them pronouns and been forced to be called the t-slur by a fake trans person because it was “affirming” for them to use on “other trans people”, I’ve been forced to wait years for t because the lines weee clogged up because people wanted to microdose it because they didn’t actually want the effects but they wanted to feel special, I’ve been outed as trans by fake trans people who want everyone to know what a cool catch I am, I’ve been told how gross t made me, I’ve been pushed out of every space that makes an effort to include as many people as possible because they start using rhetoric that sounds like the same rhetoric my transphobic father uses.

I cannot ever find joy in being trans, there is nothing to find joy in for me. Ever. I’m sick of people acting like it’s fun and silly and goofy. I’m sick of people appropriating a medical condition. I will always be sick of it. I am truly sorry that you had someone assault you and that they happened to be part of a community that I am also, but all transmeds want is some fucking respect for not doing this for whatever “euphoria” or political reason but because we fucking have to. All we want is respect and to not have our medical condition turned into playing make believe that you’re a “catgender” or an alien or whatever the fuck, do that on your own terms I don’t care, but the association with dysphoria and the fact that you will spit in the fucking faces of dysphoric binary trans people? That’s why transmeds exist

.

Bullet points because genuinely, my patience is beginning to run very thin for you anon. My ask box and the new post button have two separate functions and I think there is one you should be using instead of the other.

This is just attention seeking behavior at this point, and I'll give it to you and I'll be compassionate but I won't let your shit slide.

I'm sorry, but this is genuinely like looking in a mirror at my 15-20 year old self and it sucks and I honestly feel very sorry for you. Your pain and upset is very real. Your feelings do matter. And? You need to talk to a mental health professional. Serious advice. You need a therapist or some kind of support group if you do not have one already. That is a lot of baggage that deserves to be explored with someone who can genuinely help you in a controlled environment - not the askbox of random trans people you take issue with because they remind you of traumatic events in your life. Your triggers and people who remind you of people who have hurt you are your responsibility to deal with. It's not the business of people who are literally just living their lives in ways that make them happy. The world doesn't need to change around you for your own comfort, you need to change yourself to make yourself comfortable.

It's honestly okay if being trans makes you upset. It's okay to lament and even grieve a life you wish you had but can't have because you are not cis. Again though, that is not an issue that people who aren't like you are causing though. It's genuinely your business to deal with those emotions - not theirs.

You are not a doctor. You are not a medical professional. You are not the one giving care and other people's medical needs, decisions, and histories are none of your g'ddamn business. It is absolutely ridiculous that wait times are what they are and that access to care is not what it should be - but that is a failure of the system not the people. You legitimately sound like working class folks who complain about people on food stamps "taking up all the government resources" and people who complain that "immigrants are taking all our jobs" right now. You are putting the burden of the system onto the individual when it legitimately isn't their fault. Ultimately you are actively being failed by the medical system you are attempting to covet, not by your fellow trans people.

I've also been told I'm disgusting for being on T. I've also been told I'm disgusting for wanting facial and body hair, for feeling comfortable in my masculinity, for loving being a man in all of its complexities. Even by other trans people. You are not alone in that experience. The solution to working through those emotions isn't to throw conservative complaining about food stamps and immigrants level tantrums about it like you are doing now though.

Being trans can be fun. Being trans can be silly and goofy. Again, it might not be that way for you and it sounds like you've been in an environment where you're not allowed to love yourself for any reason, let alone for being trans, so it's probably very hard for you to conceptualize experiences outside of your own - but you sound... very young. I promise it gets better with time and distance. Please leave the environments you are in when you are able, they don't sound healthy for you.

Point of order: My ex was not a transmedicalist, by any means. I was assaulted by them and felt disgusting and dysphoric because of it and found transmedicalism on my own afterwards to try to validate my sense of self. I was hurt by someone else and then turned my hurt into a weapon. It sounds like you've been hurt and are also turning that hurt into a weapon. I hope some day you're able to put it down.

it doesn't matter how much testosterone i take, how masculine or feminine i present, whether i have a flat chest or not, i'm still going to get stared at like i'm a walking freak show. and i have no issue with that! its just so baffling to have so many transmeds tell me that i "dont pass" even though passing is subjective, and being told that i'm "not trying" in regards to my transition or that i'm "faking" being trans. i literally meet their criteria of having gender dysphoria and medically transitioning, but i'm still someone they hate or someone they view as "not trying." its just very weird. im mostly feminine. i have a mullet, i shop at forever 21 and hot topic and 99% of my clothing is feminine. but even when i'm out in public dressed in an androgynous/masculine way, in a t shirt and sweatpants I STILL get stares. i also literally have facial hair. no matter how i present and no matter what medical steps i take to transition im still going to be stared and looked at. trans medicalism is stupid and has not helped anyone. all it does is reinforce gender stereotypes and punish trans people who may not want to or cant get anything done medically.

YOU DO NOT NEED GENDER DYSPHORIA TO BE TRANS

YOU DO NOT NEED TO MEDICALLY TRANSITION TO BE VALID

YOU DONT NEED TO "PASS" TO BE VALID

Baeddels and those adjacent to that barely-stringed-together ideology spread a dangerous myth that trans women are inherently more safe than any other group of people, that since they “understand misogyny most of all” (whilst the majority of people with this belief are from the Western world), they are people who respect boundaries the most, and will respect you the most.

But the fact of the matter is, any one of any demographic can be an abuser. Baeddels want you to use “statistics” (as faulty as all statistics are at representing a population) as proof that each trans person you come across may be inherently safer (transfemme) or inherently more dangerous (transmasc) due to these “they experience misogyny more” / “they benefit from the patriarchy” ideas.

This idea that trans women are inherently safer led me to ignore red flags. That each red flag raised may be due to my “inherent transmisogyny” as a trans man, and that I should give her the benefit of the doubt since “she’s less likely to abuse me due to statistics.” But those statistics and me trying to “undo my inherent transmisogyny” didn’t stop me from being raped by her.

The ideology that strangers are inherently more likely to be good or bad people is terrible, even if its “progressive” in the sense that it uplifts those of sexual and gender minorities. In the reverse, where it shames minorities is easily recognized as bad. It’s still dangerous to assume the quality of a stranger. It’s bad to ignore red flags because you’re scared of being accused of being a transmisogynist/transandrophobe/literally whatever.

Because of what happened to me, I wholeheartedly believe that there are three outcomes to the people who believe in this accusatory ideology:

1. They will become abuse/rape victims like me

2. They will be incredibly lucky and will never experience what I have

3. They will use this ideology to abuse people and manipulate victims into thinking they are bigoted for being rightfully concerned about their safety

People are likely going to see this and state that “this can be true for any demographic, why highlight trans women? You’re just spreading more transmisogyny.” It is the case for every demographic, but in this case it’s personal to me, because I had fell into the baeddel ideology that trans women are inherently safer, and that other trans men were more likely to be misogynistic. But that’s equal across the board among cis women, trans women, and trans men, as all of these groups experience misogyny and are easily capable of being misogynistic themselves. I shouldn’t have to not talk about my own experiences because it counters the ideology you want to spread.
