reminder that trans men also fought for your rights and refusal to acknowledge this is tantamount to denying historical fact

[aretheyaterf]

Do not think for a moment that this admin is only going after trans folks. They are ultimately going after the whole LGBTQ community. They start small, like getting rid of a hotline option, then go BIG.

Hooray! Yay! Dykes!

I was more or less stunned by what had happened. I had been prepared for criticism and ridicule - I was accustomed to them. But it had never occurred to me that people might want to hound and persecute me for my change in role. I had lived as a woman because that was my social standing, and had been made fun of and called 'half-man', and now when I had faced the situation and righted the grotesquely false position in which I had lived so long, it seemed that the public would damn me because I had once, perforce [by force, by necessity], worn skirts. I tried to get other hospital work. I went to the men who had been my chiefs and told them the truth and asked their aid in securing another position; to a man they turned me down. I tried to get other sorts of work and failed tor the same reason as soon as I gave my name. Then my family employed counsel and instituted proceedings to have my name legally changed; and the medical school from which I had been graduated served notice on us that if we persisted they would rescind my diploma and have me disbarred from practice.

— excerpt from Letter from Alan Hart to Mary Roberts Rinehart, August 3, 1921, on the subject of his transition from female to male and the impact of being publicly outed by a woman who recognized him. Alan Hart was one of the first men to get a hysterectomy in the US, and pioneered the use of X-rays in the diagnosis of tuberculosis, which ended up being crucial to treatment as the disease was asymptomatic early on.

hey, just fyi, you got marked red on shinigami eyes sometime in the last day-ish

I figured it would happen sooner or later, thanks for the heads up.

Reminder to people that follow me that the people who run shinigami eyes are anti-transmasculine, intersexist and exorsexist and the people of these groups get marked red for advocating for themselves as a silencing tactic. It is actively being used as a tool to sow mistrust towards what they perceive as the "wrong kind" of queer people.

I'll probably make a real post about it later giving sources as to why that is but if you look at their guidelines it's pretty apparent what their views are.

Should I remove Shinigami Eyes from Chrome since it's no longer reliable?

It's totally fine if you want to, but we just double/triple check anyone who is actually flagged. It can still be helpful, from time to time.

[aretheyaterf]

maybe my version of Shinigami eyes is just plain wrong, but for some reason it looks like @genderkoolaid is marked as a TERF, but that seems like it should be fundamentally wrong since it is a transmasc blog and looking at its blog gives me a very different impression. I am very confused...

Shinigami Eyes is no longer reliable as a resource.

A popular artist suddenly made a trans man comic, and the viewers are not getting it

Being against a trans man's transition because you think it's too boring is transphobic, actually.

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

[aretheyaterf]

transitioning is like putting on the They Live glasses and seeing that 90% of people looking at you are either jerking off or furiously sharpening a knife. or both. and i do not mean that in a sexy or fun way, and i dont like clarifying that, but i know there's a 90% chance you are thinking it, because i wrote it while being a trans woman.
