#Transphobia tbh

[caesthoffe]

One of our siblings was murdered recently, and you need to know about it.

TW // transphobia and violence against trans people

Brianna Ghey was a 16-year-old trans girl from Warrington, England. On Saturday, February 11th 2023, Brianna was found dead on the side of a park with multiple stab wounds. Two 15-year-olds have been taken into custody in connection with her murder.

People in the Warrington area have alleged that Brianna was being bullied in school, and that neither the administration nor the police did anything.

Despite this, local police have said there is no evidence that the attack was hate-based and most news articles don't mention her status as a trans woman. This is deliberate. This is genocide by the hands of transphobes and TERFs.

Britain does not have gender self-identification (your legal gender being determined by how you identify and not any arbitrary medical requirements), meaning even in her death she will be deadnamed and misgendered on her death certificate.

She deserved so much better.

Mourn the dead, and fight like hell for the living.

EDIT: A verified GoFundMe has been set up for Brianna.

first time talking about smth not trans/t4t related on here but yall are really fuckin awful to aro/ace ppl. like i see like "u cant identify as asexual until ur 18 its an inappropriate sexuality for a child to have" and its like ok thats just like homophobia/transphobia again. u just made queerphobia again. do you know how many times i heard that its weird for me to identify as trans "so young" (i was 16)? and like "u cant identify as aro/ace if ur traumatized cause what if its just the trauma" ok and what if trauma with men made a girl a lesbian? you just made homophobia again. and dont even get me started on "WELL WHAT IF THERES AN AROMANTIC HETEROSEXUAL CIS MAN WHO WANTS TO BE QUEER" and oh yeah im sure youre so scared of "predator men" invading your spaces sike u just made transphobia again. like at what point will we as queer people stop attacking our queer siblings and collaborate as a community to create meaningful change? at what point?

#'evan this is discourse' idc #idek if this is still relevant anymore tbh #im not on twitter so idk what yall get up to #but i was just thinking #also this all can be applied to trans ppl w contradicting identities #and neopronouns #and it/its pronouns #like congrats its just transphobia #asexual #aromantic #alloaro #aroallo #aroace #trans #queer

like again bc i think it’s important. photomatt directly responded to someone asking about life threatening dangers to photosensitive users in ads by telling them to buy into the ad free thing. he has directly stated that disabled people should have to pay extra to Not Die on this site. like this is not the first time he’s made an absurdly bigoted policy idea and then went but uwu i don’t hate the marginalised group.

#Photomatt #like not to draw away from his transphobia esp transmisogyny #but he’s also ableist as shit #transphobia and ableism are deeply linked i think tbh. so no suprise.

I was trying to explain to my partner how Eggman can in fact both be transgender and transphobic and made this after the fact.

I'm joking I promise transphobia doesn't exist in Sonic please don't hate me.

#this is mainly to state my belief that Eggman in fleetway is a complete enigma #wonderincs #not putting this in his tag tbh #transphobia #transphobia tw

you know not to give algorithms and even staff too much benefit of the doubt but plenty of times when they nuke someone you think has a good opinion, the person they nuked has twenty other terrible opinions that they actually got nuked for. just take any “they nuked them for this”post with a grain or fifteen of salt maybe. maybe please.

#there are lot of obviously terrible opinions on this site that remain untouched so #I highly doubt your favorite blogger you don’t follow for nuked for the milktoast opinion that got reblogged #tbh it was probably for the antisemitism you didn’t see. or the transphobia you didn’t see. or the racism you didn’t see. or the #many such cases :/ #bye bye tankie #committee memo

Without FAIL every single person I've seen throw a fit over people "being mean" to fictional characters is extremely awful towards the real people they perceive as being insufficiently respectful towards the pretend people

#this obviously doesn't include racism/homophobia/transphobia/other bigotry #since if you'll be hateful to a fictional character you're still being hateful towards that real group #but yeah people will be like jsyk if you criticize anything blorbo bleebus does you're a monster and I hope you die :) #with NO self awareness #it's tbh not dissimilar to the whole goblin thing a few years ago #ie wow you'll defend goblins against antisemitic stereotypes. now try doing that with real jewish people! wait where are you going #it's easy to defend a fictional character who will never disagree with you and can't speak for themselves #and who can't disapprove of you making death threats in their name #queue

Jack seems like the kind of parent who would be homophobic until his kid comes out, then he'd just Pointedly Ignore it until they start dating, at which point he'd start making incredibly hamfisted attempts at supportiveness and probably get into a fight with a homophobic coworker.

#same goes w if his kid came out as trans (but probably w a bit more violent transphobia tbh) #jack drake #tim drake #dc #batfam #dana & janet would b supportive (hc that dana already Suspected tbh ((not jack tho he was 100% oblivious)) #janet drake #dana winters

btw about Neil Gaiman I periodically agree with the 'Neil Gaiman is annoying' stuff bc I feel like both he and Amanda Palmer seem like people who I would go insane stuck in a room with bc we have very different ideas about art and suchlike. and I also do think that the career trajectory he's on lately is cynically redoing his greatest hits and pretending that was the dream all along when it clearly was not. which is at best meh.

having said which

as far as I can tell by far the most common complaint about Neil Gaiman is "Snow, Glass, Apples is problematic/gross/it's got incest and rape and frames the child as the aggressor"

which strikes me as a weird complaint to pull out of a 40 year body of work tbh when that short story is pretty clearly coming from a place of 'how far can I push this'. like you don't have to like the story. I don't really like the story. but it is. a horror story.

like and this is the thing with particularly 90s alt horror right? a lot of the interest is in transgression and sitting in the worst possible perspective and seeing what happens if you pull those strings. like I really like Clive Barker for example but there's a good chunk of his short stories that I'm like I'm not picking up what you're putting down Clive this seems Kinda Off. but that willingness to write some trite or Bad Message horror fiction that doesn't land is imo a side effect of being willing to try writing uncomfortable and unpleasant fiction at all. which is what horror is for, among other things, it's for creating discomfort as a form of catharsis or engagement.

like I am not a huge fan of the type of sex-horror that pops up in a lot of Gaiman's work and other contemporary horror writers - to me I don't find it upsetting or horny it just ends up feeling kind of edgy and tryhard - but I'm also a bit like. it does seem like a lot of people's beef with Neil Gaiman is that In The 90s He Was A Horror Writer

and this approach to Problematic Horror in Snow, Glass, Apples I find kind of microcosmic of how The Discourse often approaches art in this kind of 1:1 way. if you write a story which seems to line up with rape apologia it can only be because you agree with it. if you write a story about transphobia you're a transphobe. if you write a story that makes me genuinely uncomfortable you're attacking me.

but artwork, especially art like horror that's not necessarily trying to provoke enjoyment as its main response, is necessarily hit and miss. and if what you're shooting for is discomfort then whether it works, falls flat or goes too far incredibly depends on your audience. and making good art - as in art that makes its audience think, art that opens the audience up to discomfort and catharsis and sticks with them and changes them - requires the space to experiment and tbh the space to fuck up. like they aren't all going to be winners and they certainly aren't all going to work for you as a singular audience.

personally I don't see the appeal of Snow, Glass, Apples, less cause it's nasty and more cause it's hack. ooh an edgy monstrous version of a fairy tale where there's lots of rape and cannibalism? you're soooo original Neil. but like. that's fine. I don't really vibe with like 70% of Neil Gaiman stuff I've read but I still like Neil Gaiman because the stuff that works for me really works for me.

idk I think there's a lot of folk on this website who shouldn't interact with horror cause they clearly aren't interested in being horrified. that's not everyone who dislikes Snow, Glass, Apples, but it's a real undercurrent to a lot of the criticism and tbh this kinda vibe is shit for art. making standout art What Is Good also requires being ready to make art which stands out for the wrong reasons. sometimes they'll be the same art to different people.

#red said #not to Cancel Culture this but isabelle fall springs to mind in a lot of how folks talk about stuff like this #like she wrote a transgressive piece exploring her own negative feelings about transness and her anger around a transphobic trope #and she made something which i found really resonant and interesting #and she got torn apart for it because it Might From Some Angles Agree With Transphobia #and I'm not making a direct comparison. because i think attack helicopter is a really GOOD story and i think SGA is gratuitous and hack #but that's the thing right? transgression and discomfort and speaking about unpleasant things in an openended way are KEY #to making art that engages directly with your own pains and angers and discomforts #and that's hard to mediate tbh. but it's also very necessary. #i think as well thinking about Gaiman this is also a thought I've often had about Amanda Palmer #who over the years has written a lot of songs about things i find genuinely uncomfortable or offensive. #and i can engage with 'it's fucked up to tell your ex they transed their gender At You' or 'your partner's suicide is not about you' bc yeah #but #you can't celebrate someone for making confessional music then get mad because you don't like everything they confess #if you only take about your socially acceptable thoughts it's not really confessional is it? #if you only talk about discomforting things that people are comfortable hearing about its not really discomforting #and you can only really discern what's Good Transgressive and what's Damaging Transgressive through doing i think #so if you want challenging art you are going to have to get some art which challenges you and you go hmm no i still disagree #is what i think #so yeah you can hate the artwork but when an artist is specifically setting out to make challenging art it's weird to hate them #for making 50 pieces of art you like and 1 you hate

Got called a freak on my own damn post for headcanoning 2012 Leo as a trans girl

On that note; transphobia is not tolerated here 💖

#drag rambles #tw: transphobia #just in case #anyways that's fucking hilarious I'm ngl #literally could have scrolled past but my art from months ago really bothered them that much 💀 #how pathetic tbh

[slasherscream]

honestly I'm very depressed and upset with tumblr for a variety reasons but them just stealing fan content to sell to a fucking ai training whatever the fuck is cherry on top.... like... the temptation to just leave for good is strong this time

#bee talks #which would SUCK because i just reignited this blig #but transphobia from the fucking ceo? supression of palestine posts #very few ppl engaging with the creative work in any meaningful way such as reblogs comments or anons #and now youre stealing??? its too fucking much bro #maybe this is a sign i need to focus on my original works and other creative endeavors tbh #im not sure if id delete blog but fandom isnt even what it used to be

People who see entire demographics of humanity as “the enemy” are so baffling to me, whether they’re incels/misogynists or racists or radfems or whomever I just look at them and wonder why you’d choose a life of such misery. People of a certain gender, sexuality, race or whatever demographic are not inherently your enemy just because they are part of said demographic. Gender and race essentialism is incredibly dangerous and untrue and it especially confuses me when people who claim to be trans allies abide by the former because that mindset is especially dangerous to trans people.

People are individuals, not a hive mind. Society as a whole has massive issues, and some groups may benefit from them more than others (like how the patriarchy hurts men but they still benefit from it far more than women ever will because it has men in mind, albeit only a certain type of man), but individuals are individuals. And what a depressing life it must be to instead navigate the world believing that millions of people are beneath you before they’ve even spoken a word.

#Like I get women being wary of men. I get that and even I am tbh #I’m very visibly queer and rather short most men could kill me and I’d be powerless #But that’s not what I’m talking about I’m talking about the ‘fuck men they can die’ shit #Or people like my uncle who’s antisemitic because a Jewish person he knew happened to be quite nasty #I’ve been abused by cis women many times but they were dicks because they were dicks. Not because they were women #And don’t even get me started on incels. ‘Women suck because they won’t fuck me’ go to therapy #All misogynists need mandatory therapy before they’re allowed to talk to women again please #I would say I’m CAUTIOUS of women now but I still love them very much and I’m working through my wariness in therapy myself #Me being cautious is my own problem to deal with its not women’s fault as a whole #But yeah. I understand caution due to trauma. I do not understand hatred #And JKR for example very much needs to work through her hatred… #equality #feminism #intersectional feminism #actual feminism #misogyny #racism #transphobia #gender essentialism #race essentialism #antisemitism #anti terf #anti radfem #terfs fuck off #radfems fuck off

I think there may be terfs coming out of the woodwork trying to turn trans people against each other. I've seen several terf posts within the past 24 hours trying to make it seem like transfems want to control transmasc, but the posts are always worded in that terf-y way that just reeks of pure transphobia.

Now, whether people are genuinely failing to read between the lines of flowery "progressive" sounding language? That's another story altogether.

Tldr stealth terfs are proving that no one is immune to propaganda

no genuinely. like when there was that anon going around sending transfems really vile messages claiming to be a trans man but it was really, really obviously a terf sending ragebait.

my opinion on the matter is, words like transmisogyny and transandrophobia should, can, and HAVE TO exist at the same time to describe our unique experiences. but its also very very important to remember that both of those overlap with eachother, theres not this huge solid wall between them and every trans person's experience is completely unique to them.

i dont think its useful to act like there are these boxes that oppression fits into that covers these broad categories while ignoring things like intersectionality and the basic fact that when someone is being transphobic, they dont try and puzzle out if youre ftm or mtf or transneutral or whatever, they just guess and attack you from there. its so ingrained in society its an automatic response for most of these people. it doesnt matter what kind of trans we are, we are 'othered' and treated as such.

conversations on who has it worse, or this concept that invisibility over hypersexualization is safer/inherent to your agab, it's all unproductive. it's a waste of time. they want to kill all of us.

they are trying to divide us so that we go nuts fighting with eachother and not them, and it's working. we know this is what they're doing because they openly post about doing so. we cannot let them win. we cannot break solidarity with eachother. we deserve better than that. we do.

#transphobia #asks #im so sorry if that made little to no sense #im high and rambling but i just want everyone to get along and love eachother tbh #t4t forever #what im basically trying to say is transandrophobia and transmisogyny are such important words to exist to describe #the way that our transness intersects with other aspects of ourselves #other ways society wants to hurt us #but being trans in some ways is trauma in its own right. and they want to exploit that. transphobia itself is an umbrella term that covers #both transandrophobia and transmisogyny #and i think that people can experience both no matter their agab or which way theyre transitioning #and thats not even incorporating multigender people into the conversation yet. its a huge complicated issue
