#transmisogyny

[guiltycrunch]

just noticed that the tumblr report function has removed the option to report someone who is not yourself being harrassed, while having added the option to report someone for ban evasion. surely, this change has no ties to the mass harrassment campaigns against transfeminine users on this site that said users and their supporters would like to report, and which have led to transfem users getting mass reported themselves to the point of fraudulent bans /s

#johnposting #transmisogyny #like Before the ceo shituation i know for a fact i could report on people who aren't myself being harrassed #and now that there's a fraudulent mass callout against SEVERAL trans women. we cant to report it for harrassment #when it very fucking much is

A black trans woman was on her way to a gender affirming care appointment when her at the time boyfriend pushed her onto the subway tracks. She has had the lower parts of both her legs amputated.

There is more info in the fundraiser page and here: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5zL5buP1iN/?igsh=NTF1NmVmYThyNHE=

Please share widely - not sure if this has been posted on tumblr yet but i’m sure it cant hurt to post it again.

(PS - she has chosen anonymity, which is why her name is not mentioned.)

Hey tumblr just deleted @puppygirl-hornyposting2's account for the second time.

She got deleted back in september, came back in december. made me her girlfriend and changed my life. matt's fucking gone after her directly before and she was anticipating this. She tried to change up her post content so that it wouldn't be ban evasion, talked more about politics, include rita's banning, and inspired me to speak up more.

and she got nuked again. account wiped.

she's not planning to come back again. she's over on transfem.social at https://transfem.social/@puppygirlhornypost if you want to follow her there.

matt, why do you trust the people that you do? why do you believe the people that you do? there are some people that you're okay with hurting, but why are you okay with hurting them? have you ever asked yourself?

If I see another binary person say “male-aligned nonbinary people” I think I’ll explode. Because everytime I see that I know they aren’t talking about people like me - demiboys, Genderfaes, nonbinary people who consider themselves partially men, etc.

It’s always used to refer to mtx/amab nonbinary people.

people will say a transfem demigirl is ‘male-aligned nonbinary’ . It makes me so mad. People are just so openly transphobic towards mtx people..

> you try and harass a trans woman off the website

> trans women are less trusting and polite about tme people

> a trans woman does not straightforwardly answer a bad faith question, because she doesn't trust you

> you accuse her of being a bigot or a sexual predator for not answering the question

> you try and harass a trans woman off the website

and the cycle repeats

Tumblr is still actively endorsing transphobia on this website. Reblog the fuck out of this.

Tumblr got back to me about a report for once... Just to tell me that the blatant transphobia I reported "does not violate community guidelines."

These are the posts which Tumblr staff decided should be kept on the platform, with screenshots.

Also, I apologize in advance for censoring the usernames of the transphobes in the screenshots. Tumblr does absolutely nothing to protect its trans users, so I wouldn't be surprised if I ended up getting in trouble instead, just for including their usernames. I will mention, however, that every transphobe had transphobic dogwhistles in their usernames and/or bio. Transphobes are not difficult to spot. Staff are just apathetic at best, and actively transphobic at worst.

Exhibit A: A post in which someone repeatedly and explicitly misgenders trans women, fearmongers about "trans ideology," uses transphobic dogwhistles, and denies the existence of transmisogyny. This isn't even the full post; it was an incredibly long transphobic tangent. The comments were full of transphobes as well. None of them were banned. Tumblr staff think this is okay.

Exhibit B: A post in which someone delights in the idea of a trans person hurting themselves by "ripping at their surgery scars," with additional ableist undertones. Not a hypothetical trans person either; a real individual trans person. She was not banned.

Exhibit C: A post in which a self-proclaimed TERF refers to consensual gender affirming surgeries as "forced surgeries" and frames trans people as "Nazis and fascists" just for trying to become comfortable in our own bodies. She did this in direct response to trans people celebrating their own surgeries. She was not banned.

Exhibit D: A post in which someone says "transgenderism is erasing women" and blames the existence of misgendering and degendering on trans people, as if we aren't also hurt by those things frequently. She also said that trans women are "not women" in comments on her own post. She was not banned.

Exhibit E: A post in which someone engages in a blatant form of Holocaust denial, by saying trans transgender and queer people "were not targeted" (while simultaneously casting doubt on the validity of those identities themselves by putting them in scare quotes). Trans persecution and book burnings are a well documented aspect of the Holocaust. This post was also reblogged by other transphobes. None of them were banned.

@staff care to explain why you think these posts are okay? Would you like to tell us how and why these "don't violate community guidelines"? Did you learn nothing from the lawsuit that happened because of transphobia among staff? After everything that has happened, why is there still nothing being done about the rampant transphobia on this website?

Just curious.

Also, in case I get banned or this post gets deleted, here's an archived version of my post. Keep it tucked away somewhere.

TMA? TME? What's that?

This is a question I get a lot on my posts talking about transfeminism; I intend to make this a masterpost with which to send people if they are genuinely curious.

What does TME/TMA mean?

TME- Transmisogyny Exempt

TMA- Transmisogyny Affected

More specifically, TMA is a catchall term for people whose experience being assigned male and transitioning to a feminine gender or presentation has made them the focus and primary target of transmisogyny. TME people are everyone else.

But isn't everyone affected by transmisogyny in some way?

In some way, yes. But TMA people are, by definition, the ones who are the primary target, and the ones who cannot escape it. A trangender man might be mistaken for a trans woman on the street and accosted, yes! However, his interactions with family, the legal system, other queer people, and any partners are going to be affected by transphobia, but not transmisogyny, because these people see him as outside the "MtF" category. This is the core of transmisogyny and why transmisogyny as a term exists separate from transphobia.

Why not use transfeminine/transmasculine?

Where I'm standing I'd like to be able to use those words with the rough understanding that they are related to one's relationship to assigned gender and transmisogyny, but there are people who do not feel that this adequately describes their identity (ie transfem people who were AFAB). I'm taking these people on good faith, but I still want to be able to discuss what TME/TMA is discussing.

Isn't this just reinventing the gender binary?

It's describing a preexisting one. The White/POC dichotomy is not "reinventing race science", it's describing how the society built on that lie affects people. Someone who uses the word "nonblack" probably knows that racial categories are artificial, but is still affected by anti-black racism, and deserves the language to talk about it. Understand TME/TMA the same way.

Also, to be clear, cisgender men are TME. It is not just restating your AGAB.

What about intersex AFAB people?

This is where I am going to bow my head and admit that I do not know, exactly. It's undeniable that there are similarities in the bodies of TMA people and a cis woman with PCOS, just for example, and that the hatred that such bodies attract are going to affect her. However, it's also true that having been assigned, raised, and legally defined as a "female" is going to provide a different set of problems. If someone wants to have a genuine discuss about this, my ask box and messages are open- however, if you are not yourself AFAB and intersex, I do not care your opinion on the matter.

If it has so many problems, why use it?

Every term used to discuss marginalization has problems. "White", for example, is a category that can include or exclude Ashkenazi jewish people depending on context and usage; the border between cis and trans is one that has edge cases. But these terms are important for describing oppression and helping marginalized people! It would be absurd to completely abolish them, wouldn't it? It's the same with TME/TMA.

I fundamentally disagree that this category of people you're talking about deserve or need a word to describe their oppression, or that they have a unique relationship to that oppression.

Well. You're wrong, so

If your reaction to “lesbians don’t like men” is to immediately call us terfs, they you’re the one being transmisogynistic here.

Simple as that.

#bee bumbles #lesbophobia #transmisogyny

[chronic-lesbian]

Btw randomly calling a lesbian who has been openly calling out transmisogyny and lesbophobia all the time a cryptoterf simply bc she said lesbians aren't into men is Not A Good Look. Especially since none of you can even explain what a Terf is and instead call everyone you don't like one. Ignoring the fact that violent transmisogyny is the main tenant of said ideology and half of you are also transmisogynistic like 🤨

[auramgold]

the main reason i wrote The Abuser's Guide to Transmisogyny was specifically coping with the trauma of knowing how bad the crowd trying to specifically target my housing and such was at it. they repeatedly undermined their own point and suddenly regrew a conscience only to lose it and call me a pedophile again a month later multiple times, and were just generally bad at actually making their points believable

and it almost fucking worked anyways

if my partner who was getting me housing was a little less wary of the callout posts she was getting sent, i would be a smear on the highway right now.

so writing The Abuser's Guide was me partially going all A Modest Proposal on it and coping by basically sarcastically telling my abusers how they could have done a better job, because "my abusers were bad at killing me" is a batshit fucking trauma to have.

so every time i see the same thing happening to someone else, the 12 year old who doesn't know how to work a crowd who's mad about a homestuck poll still wielding the weapons of social murder to some effect... it reminds me viscerally of what happened to me

we can all agree that transandrophobia and transmisogyny can exist, right? and that no one side is more opressed/important than each other? and we can all remember to include our nonbinary fellows, right? please, guys?

[tinkerbitch69]

Hey, to anyone harassing trans women into outing themselves for pointing out that being a lesbian does not in fact entail attraction to men, I hope you know you are creating an unsafe environment for trans women on a site run by people who have already proven to be rabidly transmisogynistic.

Greeeeat job, guys. Truly outstanding ‘allyship’ 🖕

#I fucking hate it here #you should be ashamed #not naming any names #because she should have never had to do this in the first place #if you know what I’m talking about and think this is in anyway acceptable #please fuck off #transmisogyny #lesbophobia #anti harassment

[soup-mother]

i'd say "how do people keep falling for this shit every fucking time?" but "falling for" would imply they're not just willingly jumping at the chance the second they can. fucks sake.

#my post #transmisogyny #a fucking magnus archives username too #finally putting the TMA in TMA

[anomalousmancunt]

this is going on anon thru someone else bc every time i post about this i get goofball ass comments im honestly just not feeling like dealing with

but the tme/tma dichotomy doesn’t really make sense to me. like, every trans person can be a victim of transmisogyny regardless of gender. that’s just cis/trans 2

also like. idk why people complain abt transandrophobia or whatevs we’ve decided we’re calling it. if transmisogyny is hatred of transfemininity how would transandrophobia not be hatred of transmasculinity?

maybe i have it a lil backward but like. im a butch trans woman and im pretty comfortable with that. not on hormones (would like to be) and i don’t pass or really want to and i don’t care abt dressing feminine. when transmeds do the bit where they say im not really trans because of that, they’re challenging my ability to remain masculine while being transfem. is that not transandrophobia???

im confused and im scared to ask bc everyone i ever see talking about it is kind of an asshole abt it

yeah, this idea that oppression is somehow only aimed at the True, Intended Victims is... very nonsensical.

ive had transmisogyny aimed at me since before publicly ID'ing as trans because i dared to be visibly genderweird and that made me Close Enough to a freak-in-the-transfemme-way for some people. ive seen transfemme people have transandrophobia aimed at them because they dared to be masc in a way that clashes with "fem" characteristics, and that made them Close Enough to freaks-in-the-transmasc-way for some people. it's so unnecessary and counterproductive to pretend these experiences somehow are not real, or it's actually Another kind of oppression (a more "general" one, perhaps), and not the one it clearly is.

im sorry people are assholes, because i fully agree with you here.

#for the record i do not think transmisogyny=hatred of transfems #at least not in a 1-to-1 way #but like. this is a Tumblr post and not published theory. #transandrophobia #transmisogyny #I am keeping a close eye on this post. #as soon as anyone starts invalidating experiences or just being annoying. post's over.
