like i cannot stress enough if ur white u have been raised and taught to view urself as the center of the world, almost all media caters to you, ur cultures viewpoints dictate the world, ur ancestors are the “victors” of colonialism and shaped the planet to fit white supremacy, that little voice in ur head that tells you to comment on every post about racism u see with stuff like “LISTEN to this white people” “im white, but this is important” “im as white as snow but i also agree with this” is not the compassionate gesture u think it is

that little voice is ur taught racist desire to center urself and ur opinion as more important and factual, something to be listened to above all else, because you were raised to believe you and everyone like you has the final say, you get uncomfortable when brown people voice frustrations because you don’t like reckoning with how the entire world is shaped in your image, you need to ignore that little voice that tells you your input is needed, because that little voice means absolutely nothing to the lived experiences of people of color, we donot need your approval or for you to agree for the racist history that has oppressed all of us to be true, we donot need YOU to tell us we are right when it has already been proven through history, through statistics, on the millions of lives lost to genocide and war in the name of white supremacy, you are not the center of the world, you are just taught that you are

I feel like if we can all understand that when your run-of-the-mill transphobe/intersexist says "There are only two genders! It's just basic biology!" they're just openly admitting they have only a surface-level understanding of the topic and thus don't actually know what they're talking about.....

.... we can understand that the same goes for TRFs and their dumbfuck cis allies saying "All men oppress all women! It's just basic feminism!".... right?

I will never understand how people come to the conclusion of "I was treated like shit as a woman, and now that I've transitioned I'm treated better, therefore trans men have male privilege." Like my dude you still live with the memory and long-term emotional and material impacts of experiencing misogyny. You were still denied resources and opportunities that, had you had access to them, you might be in a very different position in life now. You are vulnerable to violence if found out as a trans man that is different from the violence you might have been vulnerable to when moving through the world as a cis woman. Can we stop diluting male privilege as a concept to just being this superficial thing about how you're perceived? Like. Come on guys. There is an entire institutional structure of patriarchy that not even the most masculine, cis-passing trans man will ever meaningfully benefit from. Let's be so for real.

I'm the biggest champion of critical thinking skills you'll meet but what scares me is that all the critical thinking skills in the world only do so much when you're bombarded by new information faster than you can process it. That's why constant exposure to short-form video is so insidious in a way even other social media is not.

It really is 2003 again Jesus Tapdancing Christ.

Like, all Republicans did was replace Iraq and gay people with Iran and trans people.

Anyone else getting really fucking sick of this support:condemn dichotomy where folks online act like the only two possible responses to anything ever are to wholeheartedly support it or wholeheartedly condemn it?

"Oh you said that you dont think that random stranger should be sent full on death threats and doxxed for their iffy artwork? Why do you support racism" how about we all go outside and interact with real people and see how they react when you say things like that!

For anyone wondering how a lot of cishet men actually view us, in the comment section of a cishet guy’s transphobic post (classic transmisogyny of “ew woman with a dick”) he talked about how hot he thinks ftm bodies (no bottom surgery) are and said something along the lines of “yeah they’ll never be men but if you just call them good boys, they’re fun to play with” some agreement with that from others or people going “well yeah because it’s straight, straight men are attracted to women”, the most disgusting was the guy that said “a woman with a mental illness…. Could be fun.” OP also then proceeded to call post op ftm bodies mutilated. The way he spoke also made it sound like he had some actual experience with trans men, this man probably manipulated some poor guy into sex, and has the gall to say trans women are predatory.

This wasn’t even a political discussion subreddit or anything like that, and not one dedicated to any sort of kink or nsfw. Just out in the wild. I usually find a lot of these types on my own because of the adult content I make, so obviously it’s expected I get literally hundreds (I’m not joking, I mean HUNDREDS) of these guys interacting with me, because yeah duh there’s a shit ton of chasers and you’re going to attract a lot of them when you do this. But finding a handful just shamelessly, publicly admitting to it, in a sfw place? The disgust hit me a different way.

Also only one person in a different comment thread pointed out how vile it was. Everyone else was like “oh just a niche fetish”, manipulating trans guys into fucking you by lying to their face and calling them women behind their back isn’t a “niche fetish”

I was never a white woman. I hate the constant speaking to us in this tag like we all are. Shut up. Many of us are not white and therefore don't have this magical scared white lady mindset to unpack. The fact that you are here, right now, putting this vile shit in the tags, shows you haven't considered tmoc in the tag at all and shows you still have plenty of that white ass mindset to unpack.

Also: You say you "saw through" it meaning you never actually fucking engaged us at all. The term transandphobia itself was coined by a poc. It wasn't some transmisogyny front to be a scared white woman, its a word to decribe the real lived experiences of opression faced by trans men/trans masc. You're making up a hidden transmisogyny instead of adressing the very open transmisogyny in a bunch of very real places.

That's your weird view don't project that on us, ya fucking freak.

I used to be a proficient googler who never wasted a word but since Google is near useless no matter how good you are at it now I have reverted to just typing in entire questions like an old person

"It's ahistorical/incorrect to refer to historical people as trans as the word didn't exist yet"

And yet it's fine (or common) to, say, anthropomorphise animal behaviour when that's inaccurate to how animal behaviour works. Or fine to talk in English about the words of people who speak other languages, even though they would not have expressed it the same way in their native language.

There's a degree of acceptable localisation in so many aspects of human life. Sometimes the only way to comminicate something is through approximation.

While it's true you can't say someone from the past was definitively trans with 0 uncertainty, when people from the past are described as trans it's literally just approximation for ease of communication. No different from someone pointing to a bee who bumped into a wall and saying (jokingly) "oh it must have a headache now" (despite that not being possible) or someone quoting an ancient Roman senator in English when they obviously would have spoken Latin.

It's just weird how transness is the only topic that isn't allowed to be approximated for communication's sake.

Most racist person you know: "NYC has fallen. We should evacuate and comfort our loved ones while we still have time. A Muslim won the primary."

do you ever want to gently float up to someone and whisper “this isn’t a debate; i am actually educated on the subject and i’m telling you you’re wrong”

being an intersex person who isnt a waifish hairless elf devoid of any visible sex characteristics i honestly think if i was a fictional character id be denounced as a transphobic stereotype

Reading my own fanfiction is basically just a rollercoaster of emotional whiplash.

20% of the time: “Hold on. I wrote this? This is fire. This is emotionally devastating in the best way. This scene is dripping with tension. I’m a literary perfectionist. Someone give me a book deal.”

80% of the time: “Straight to jail. Immediate prison. Why is everyone’s breath hitching?. I used the word ‘gaze’ three times in one paragraph like I was possessed. Did I think 'his eyes darkened' was profound? Why is everyone clenching their jaws? Why is someone whispering 'their name like a prayer' again?? No one talks like this. What is this dialogue. Why are there so many weird metaphors and em-dashes…”
