“I don’t want to date trans women because they are actually men and lesbians are women.” - a transphobic lesbian.

Fine, then don’t date them then and shut up about it. You’re a parasite to the community.

Also a lesbian means female homosexuality. That’s it . Not non-men or whatever the fuck you gendershits tried to change it to. Y’all don’t get to redefine a sexual orientation as you see fit. It has and always will be FEMALE HOMOSEXUALITY.

I blocked anon, but let me get one last thing fucking clear. “Female homosexuality” aka lesbianism includes trans women and nonbinary people. Always has, always will. I guess you gotta tell this person:

You gotta tell this person, aka Leslie Feinberg, a butch lesbian pioneer and “filthy TRA” according to you, that ze isn’t a lesbian 💀

Trans and nonbinary lesbians have always been included in lesbianism, it’s TERFs like you that are actively trying to erase that. Anywaysss, I’m about to make blackout poetry from this and live my best fagd*ke tr*nny life cause I’m going on T in literally less than two days, stay salty Mrs. Joanne 🖕🏼

Why is it that 9/10 every transphobe/terf is like blatantly a pedophile. Like you can't tell me the obsession with wanting to see children's gentiles to know if they're cis or not isn't pedophilia. Don't get me started on the transphobes that swear up and down that trans people are grooming kids but then their entire twitter will be posts saying "there's nothing wrong with wanting to fuck this clearly 8 year old anime girl! She's actually 5000 years old!!!"

Transphobia harbours pedophilia

are people still into drarry at this point? as far as i know the entire hp fandom basically died when a certain someone spoke her political opinions. anyone still talking about hp gets harassed to oblivion and so many callout posts pop up saying that if you still like the franchise you're supporting terfs. i honestly don't know how to feel, i'd simply deleted all my hp content on my blog because seeing them just makes me uncomfortable in hindsight :/

So, I wasn't planning on replying to this because I didn't want to hurt anyone by sharing it, or by my reply. It's something that calls for some nuance that I worry I won't be able to explore properly. But I had a thought and I wanted to share it. Trigger warning: Mentions of transphobia, JKR, and suicidal thoughts. Note: This has been tagged for black lists so people can avoid it. Apologies for those in the fandom tags.

So, I'm trans. That's something I'm always pretty open about online, especially as I haven't had much safe space to be open about it in real life. My transition process has been somewhat public, even if I've been pretty quiet about things in the past few years. If you search my blog, you can probably find the posts where I started exploring my gender around 2016-2017ish. They're posted along side Drarry posts, among other fandoms I was in. You will also find that I stopped posting as much Drarry a few years later, with little correlation to what the author was saying or doing at the time because I wasn't on Twitter and hadn't heard the news yet. I drifted fandoms a bit, then I went on Twitter and... yeah.

Now here's where it gets a bit complicated, and personal. A Drarry fanfiction saved my life because it helped convince me that I could transition. That I could be trans and it was okay. A Drarry fanfic told me I wasn't too old, I wasn't wrong, it's not too late, and it's okay to do the things that make you happy even if you spent half your life doing the things that people told you were right but were wrong for you. I'm not dramatizing this in any way. I read this fanfic when I was in a really bad place, when I was figuring out I was trans and in a horrible relationship with a shitty person and I was scared to death. All I could think was that there was no way out for me. I'm not saying this to guilt anyone for not liking Drarry/Harry Potter. I'm not saying it to defend JKR or any of the things she's made, said, or done. I'm not saying it because I'm a traitor to the trans community or that Harry Potter is even that important to me. I'm saying it because a writer out there wrote a Drarry fanfiction with no intention of it being life saving, and yet they did save my life. They just wanted to create something fun, and meaningful, with two characters from some books. Did it have to be Harry Potter? For them, yes. They read those books and saw more to the characters than JKR ever could, and they gave us a story that is so meaningful and transformative that I literally did the thing JKR hates with her entire bitter, little heart. Because of a person in the fandom. Now, I personally feel a disconnect from those books these days. She's really, truly ruined those memories for me in ways I can't even put into words. Worse even, was seeing that there were bigotries in those books that I was ignorant to, as a child. Things I didn't see because I didn't know. And knowing now that it was always there, the hatred and ugliness, makes the original material poison to me. And god, don't get me started on messy fandom spaces. Don't look towards the Interview With a Vampire fandom at all. It's, unfortunately, a large part of being in a group space with people who like a thing. There will be hateful people, there will be Bad people. But there are also NOT those people. There are queer people who still love their fandoms. There are people writing trans Harry Potter fics. There are people cosplaying Draco in a skirt and fuck gender rolls we're vibing here. There's also a massive difference between enjoying a community built by fans, and directly supporting JKR with money and attention. What you do in response to her cruelty is totally valid, however you decide. Deleting the content is completely understandable. Not wanting to see anything Harry Potter related is also valid, especially when so many of us have been seriously hurt by her. Not supporting JKR in views or money is important to supporting trans people. But I can't tell people how to respond, how to behave, or how to experience the fandom. Trauma responses vary by person. Being angry and yet completely embracing the fandom to the point where it belongs to the fans is also a super valid reaction. People are a complex system of experiences and reactions. There is no one set way to respond. There is always room to learn, there is always room to listen. The unfortunate truth, however, is this has happened before with creators who we learn are complete assholes, and will happen again. The best we can do is support one another and regularly tell the people who are out to hurt us to fuck right off.

Another terf reblogged my stuff just to be a jerk. I'm just vibing. I just wanna have a good time. I wanna look at Invader Zim and Undertale Fanart and simp over cute girls. Why the fuck don't they leave me alone. I feel like a loser but I'm gonna fuckin cry.

The transmasc experience of loving Ethel Cain but being afraid of the fandom because of how easily valid and correct interpretations of her work (for instance, calling Ptolomaea a song that "sounds like what it's like to be afraid of a man") can veer into radfem and TERF rhetoric.

As a trans man I share so many of the sentiments she expresses in her music, but will fellow fans see me as an outsider, a predator, a villain?

Am I Ethel to them, or am I Isaiah?

I'm deciding my gender is Gay. Am I a man? No. Woman? Definitely not. Am I nonbinary? In a way that I'm a twink with a girl and a butch with a boy, Yes

Sure fine, I guess it's bitching about lesbian loneliness time.

Like the worst part for me I think is not just the loneliness and alienation itself, but the way non lesbians, even those who are queer will insist it doesn't exist or it's something "we all go through."

But the fact of the matter is that when you exist in a patriarchal world that centers men, anyone who doesn't do that, women and those of us who are percieved as such by society who aren't interested in men in any way shape or form are demonized and pushed aside by said society. And it isn't just men who do this. (It's also worth mentioning that this happens to aroace women and some nonbinary people as well.)

Yes we are also demonized and oppressed for liking women, but the reason I get so pissed when people (non lesbians) will say things like "why are you trying to center your sexuality around who you don't like?" is because in this world, in this society you have to. Otherwise people will always assume that men are still an option for you. And then sometimes even when you do make it explicitly, clear people still won't accept it.

I can't tell you how many times I had "friends" who would constantly say things like "oh I totally forgot you were a lesbian whoops!" or "if you had to pick a guy then who would you pick?" Or my personal favourite, "everyone has their one exception. No one's 100% straight or gay."

Which conveniently only ever seems to be said to gay people in my experience.

It creates this very specific feeling of alienation and hurt, like you're being exiled from girlhood and from society as a whole because you can't do the thing you're supposed to do. Be with men.

And this lesbophobia in society is so pervasive and so innate in so many people that they don't even question things like why the word lesbian makes them uncomfortable or why lesbians saying we aren't interested in men makes them angry and automatically assume we hate all men.

They don't try to understand why a lot of us don't want to participate in their conversations about male celebrities or boy bands, and they see no issue with constantly shoving pictures of men in our faces asking if we think they're hot.

And when you try to bring up why this hurts everyone tries to gaslight you into thinking you're overreacting.

So yeah, being a lesbian is lonely sometimes.

Thinking about how beautiful women are today. Especially big women.

Do you know how beautiful stretch marks are? They're like rivers on a map I can trace with my fingers.

We need to stop calling terfs “feminists” and start calling them for what they are, “transphobes.” TERFs are not feminists. They don’t care about women’s rights. They only care about hating men and trans people taking a shit in public bathrooms. A non existent issue that nobody except transphobes care about. It is important feminists understand this.

I don’t need people in my dms bc I’m engaged to the woman of my dreams. I also don’t call women bitches, bc that’s misogynistic. I’m also a lesbian, so you can fuck off. I live in a reality that doesn’t care about your goddamn pronouns

Okay sir. Since you don’t care about pronouns then it’s okay for me to call you a man, right, sir? Manly he/him mister? You have such masculine energy, what a lad. You’re more of a man than cis men. You’re such a manly man wow. You are just one of the political lesbians that hates trans women and trans people overall, and you probably hate butches and women like Caster Semenya because y’all are racist AF. Also I hope your wife never comes out as trans or gender expansive, I feel bad for her and hopefully she dumps your toxic transmisogynistic ass and dates a transbian instead.

been thinking about it a bit lately for Reasons and I think it doesn't matter if you still engage w harry potter content. but like. if you still do.

shut the fuck up about it.

and dont fucking pay for it.

the second stipulation I feel like is obvious but for the first one: I feel comfortable, on my own terms, engaging with a certain level of hp content (fics once in a blue moon, and thats pretty much it) and acknowledging my history with it to myself (loved the books as a kid, have an almost encyclopaedic knowledge of the base series tbqh). i can trust myself to interact with it from a critical standpoint, and I can extend that trust to others, hypothetically. but when I see someone say they like harry potter, without any follow up of 'jkr is a terrible transphobe and a very active public figure in a hate group,' when I see merch or people reading the books or talking about the series, I immediately feel unsafe. I dont know whether the person is someone who recognizes the faults but decided to continue consuming content for it critically, with or without paying, or if the person is someone who thinks ive been brainwashed into joining the enemy for being transmasc. you all have the right to read whatever you want. you have the right to have complicated feelings about it. I do too. but engaging w jkr and any of her works should be something done quietly. something discussed privately with friends and family who know your views, not out in public or online for all to see. because with the knowledge we have now, and with how much of a presence jkr still has, if you support trans people, jewish people, and anyone else shes against these days, you should be ashamed to still support her work.

hatsune miku didnt write harry potter. jk rowling did, and she's still out there making money off the series while she spews hate left and right. if you publically align yourself with her work, you should expect me to be terrified of and/or angry with you. do that shit on your own, if you have to at all.
