I never use this blog because the eddsworld fandom is genuinely the only fandom I've been completely fucking miserable trying to engage with. It's full of trans people and yet the community is SO hostile towards non-afab or non masc aligned in some way trans people. I've had people blatantly refused to respect my pronouns after saying they would. I've been misgendered in a server full of trans people where literally no one else was misgendered because there were pronoun roles. In that same server, while I was uplifting trans people making jokes about being proud of their bodies, they made fun of me for not having breasts. I've had multiple people debate my boundaries like it's a topic of discussion because I asked not to be called dude, a GENDERED TERM. I've had people gang up on me to the point of tears because I dared to describe my experiences being raised with an unconventional relationship to gender. I've been accused of holding grudges and being aggressive for even daring to speak up when I'm tired of being treated this way

And these events don't refer to a bunch of random assholes, they refer to people well known in the fandom. People I've seen on multiple servers. People whose names you say and it gets recognized

The eddsworld fandom has a HUGE transmisogyny problem and it needs to be discussed. The way I constantly feel unsafe when in a fandom surrounded by trans people is completely unacceptable

#I'm not a trans woman for the record. I'm genderless. but all of the transphobia ive experienced from the ew fandom #is directed from a hatred of trans women/people that dont have THEIR body or express themselves the same way THEY do #like the pronouns i asked to be called and were specifically told that people would start using them is she/her #and then they refused!#and this INCLUDES a friend of mine!#whose excuse was literally that it just didn't feel important #so yeah i dont use she/her pronouns now because i was already scared to and felt extremely vulnerable trying to do so #and every single trans person i asked to use those pronouns for me refused to. and it affirmed my fears and insecurities #and of course none of it is taken seriously when i bring it up!!!#im extremely against 'afab vs amab' bullshit but when a fandom has a huge problem of targeting a specific demographic of trans people #it needs to be addressed #also yes the slur in the url is reclaimed and no im not the original user with this url. i saw it on an old post and thought it was good #so i saved it. i dont even use this blog #eddsworld #transmisogyny #i have experienced transphobia in other fandoms and outside of them obviously #but mostly by cis people #or perhaps binary trans people that dont respect nonbinary people #and that's all been general transphobia #ONLY in the eddsworld fandom has it been targeted
