[anti-transphobia]

I do feel bad having a lot of reblogs centering around transmasc issues specifically and not more posts about transfem and nonbinary people, but unfortunately, repulsive lateral violence is the current discourse, which means that a lot of posts made about those issues are said BECAUSE "who is actually the most oppressed" is the current topic of discussion. So even posts that seem normal or even agreeable have language you have to look suspiciously at and when you check op you do in fact find that those posts about transmisogyny are because they got mad trans men are speaking up about the violence they face.

It's very similar to how ace discourse was. Completely normal seeming posts, in the context of a really bad couple of years where saying you're ace/aro publicly even once led to getting anon hate, were actually criticisms of the idea that other people face hardships. Hell, though people scoffed at it when I said it, even completely unrelated FANDOM posts could be clocked as being made by someone whose current fixation is hating on aspec people by the way they keysmashed. Because it wasn't just a discourse, but like a fandom, and fandoms follow quirks and trends and I could read it in a keysmash easily, check their blogs, confirm I was right, and block.

Anyway my point being that the issues, general and more specific, faced by non-transmasc trans people INCLUDING those issues caused by other trans ppl is EXTREMELY important to me, however I just unfortunately don't see a lot of people talking about it in good faith. And hell, me talking about my experiences about how afab trans people have harassed, sexually assaulted, misgendered, body shamed me, and leveraged their agab specifically to harm and exclude me for not being like them is something that I can't talk about without worry of it coming off as "trans men are evil". That's just the current culture. A reasonable worry of a post sounding like thinly veiled transphobia is silencing victims of the thing these transmasc oppression deniers claim to hate.

Anyway I definitely do reblog good posts like that when I see em but I'm really not on Tumblr much anymore

#i dont Owe anyone an explanation but i do feel bad about it #it sucks! #oh also im very pro Palestine but i don't think ive reblogged a ton of posts about it on here??? i honestly cant remember #i do that on other social media but typically i only come on Tumblr now to look at very specific things #some fandom stuff. mostly all the poll accounts i follow #i kinda just rb the things i happen to see when i do so #i don't have an active follower base (most of em deactivated years ago) anymore so im not worried about Not Using My Platform for good #because i lost that platform! and i dont regret it. ppl will turn on a child on a dime for the crime of being annoying. im glad i went #inactive for a long time #but anyway #im not misusing the platform i no longer have by not reblogging pro palestine posts #but i should go look for some #Tumblr search does not fucking work anymore but if it decides to one time i could at least go back to it as reference #for links and stuff
