also saw some post earlier today about how gen z isn't doing cults anymore. That's simply not true. It's simply not true. There are actually more cults than ever and they are on the discord app. You don't understand. They are doing struggle sessions in fandom discourds

Interrupting our theme of musicians to bring you a fashion icon:

Richmond Rockson from Germany! These are the pics I saved as personal inspiration as I rebuild my closet with masc fashion, but he has tons of gorgeous androgynous looks! 😍

There’s a very good chance this will be egg on my face for assuming any of this discourse to be in good faith but I’m going to try to be as kind about this as possible. I think there is a contingent of people on this website who think “transmisogyny” is just a Special Word for the Type of transphobia transfeminized people face, and that is why they’re often quite angry about not having their own Special Word for the type of transphobia other trans people face (ie “transandrophobia” or “transmisandry”). This is also why they seem to often interpret “transandrophobia isn’t real” as “trans men are not oppressed.” The thing is that there IS a word for the oppression trans men face—it’s “transphobia.” Because transmisogyny is not just transphobia against a specific subset of trans people; it describes an intersection of two axes of oppression.

Intersectionality theory comes from the inability of legal frameworks to conceptualize multiple forms of oppression at once towards the same individual, and therefore the conceptualization of all members of an oppressed class as only oppressed in that way. When transfeminists talk about intersectionality in this context, they are saying that conceptualizations of transphobia tend to understand manhood as the default experience of transness, and cannot account for someone being both trans and a woman (ie both a target of transphobia and misogyny, as well as a unique force at the intersection of those two forces).*

While I’ve become quite tired of a lot of “what about the men” arguments, and I am not particularly concerned with having a Special Word, I do wonder why “transemasculation” hasn’t caught on here. To me it seems like a pretty useful term to describe the specific experience of transmasculine people as it intersects with misogyny. We do, in fact, have language for the misogynistic degendering of men! That word is “emasculation” and can be used without claiming that “androphobia” or “misandry” are coherent social forces independent of transphobia.

* When certain people talk about the “visibility” of trans women, and conversely the “invisibility” of trans men, they are most often talking about media representation, which does not accurately reflect the legal and academic state of trans liberation and how transphobia is theorized. In educational and activist spaces, where discussions of transmisogyny and intersectionality will be most relevant, transmasculinity is far more likely to be platformed as the definitive experience of transness, and trans women often report being excluded from discussions about transness as a whole.

Sorry but if your only comparison to transandrophobia is "white cis women coining misogyblanc"(or fuck Whatever) then I am immediately assuming you're racist and transphobic.

Even the mere thought that TRANSGENDER men— yanno TRANS people, people who are TRANS— are on the same "patriarchal level" or whatever as CIS women is disgustingly transphobic. But adding the comparison and ASSUMPTION that transmasculinity=whiteness is HEINOUS and proves how transphobic AND racist you are. No exceptions.

Just. Transandrophobes try not to compare trans men to cis women challenge (fucking failed)

"Not everything is about trans men" Well, yeah, that's the problem. Nothing seems to be about trans men.

[dr-viles-laboratory]

Cis men are not representation for trans men send post

[dr-viles-laboratory]

trans men don’t experience transandrophobia they’re just making things up they just experience a regular intersection of transphobia and misogyny but not transmisogyny because they’re tme and not misogyny because then they’d be invalidating their identity so they should either stick to being big dumb ugly brutish men who don’t deserve compassion ever for willingly participating in the inherently evil force that is masculinity or they should just go back to being stupid dainty fragile little girls so we can all laugh at them for being little pussies who could never “handle” REAL manhood and tell them that they actually STILL have privilege after being bullied back into the closet

A shocking amount of transandrophobes don't actually believe the shit they're saying. Like if you go into the tags of trans man-mentioning posts from one of them you can see it. Genuinely, pretend to be a cis/tme woman who hates trans men for a few days, and let your fyp become what they see and you'll see they stop trying to hide it.

A lot of them don't actually think trans men have male privilege, they are doing this because they do not want you to identify as men. They want to make it so hard for you to identify as a man, that you drop the label entirely.

It is a punishment. To a certain extent, like all radfems, trfs genuinely believe trans men are traitors to the oppressed class. That we are CHOOSING to identify as men, and our punishment for it should be being disallowed from speaking about misogyny.

Sorry we really went from free the nipple, take back the night, slut walks, and ending gender/sex segregation in sports being fucking milquetoast feminism 101 concepts to fucking girl dinner and "I just worry about fairness if we let trans girls play against cis ones" and "it was right of that woman to call the cops on a black man for existing near here in public during the day time because men are all violent monsters" and "radical feminism isn't transphobic we just need to kill all men including trans ones those oppressive traitors" and I will legit never be able to be normal about it. What the FUCK happened. I'd say I wonder what the feminists of my youth would say about this but I'm one and lemme tell ya I want to throw up. Go fucking read bell hooks or do something else useful please because all of this learned helplessness, gender essentialism, and transphobia dressed up as feminism is actively holding us back.
