this website is cuckoo bananas. for years i’ve been watching trans girls post “hey, have you considered that even though trans guys are obviously treated worse than cis guys, the limited male privilege that they do have access to means that they are taken more seriously, treated less dangerously & just respected more than trans women in most if not all circumstances” and everybody’s been going nuts like, calling us separatists, calling us “divisive” for even pointing out men in the trans community can be misogynistic etc.

and then today, i saw a pretty mild post from a trans guy saying “passing as a man is so weird. other men are treating me with more respect than they treat my girl friends in public now. i used to have to argue & cite 100 sources for anybody to listen to me, and now all i have a beard all i have do is say ‘hey maybe women should be treated better’ and everybody listens to me immediately”

….and then i go into the notes and there’s a bunch of transandrophobia bloggers saying “wow, you really opened my eyes… i never saw it this way before…” like am i going crazy??? am i the only one who sees the incredible irony here? maybe you guys… here’s a thought… should listen to women also?

#these conversations happened a lot in transmasc spaces during what i think of as the dismantling of the binary status quo online #On Tumblr and other blogging platforms of the late 00s rip #but for various reasons stopped and a whole new generation of transmascs simply never saw them #the various reasons are so impossible to untangle in the notes of a tumblr post #the rise of mainstream virulent transmisogyny in media and politics is only part of it #i’ve seen it coming up a lot again for trans fem non binary people and trans women whose relationship to hormones and transition #falls outside current perceived notions of what it is to be transfeminine particularly by those who are not inc. by transmascs #i think a lot about how when i first started iding as non binary (or genderqueer in the parlance of 2009) #there seems to be a pattern where identities coalesce around a certain model as a response to changing social social attitudes #that we (trans mascs) are not contending with the consequences of

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

#i also need people to understand that in parts of the world this has already long existed at public pools
