probably the most real demonstration of online versus offline discourse on "transmascs versus transfems" infighting was at a transmasc meetup where one person was like "eugh i've just had suuuch bad experiences with transfems, i don't trust them" and the guy next to me just blinks and goes "hey uh. my wife is a trans woman" and the rest of us chime in like "yeah we all have transfem friends, what's your problem"

and then after talking to that person for longer we discover that they almost never interact with the trans community outside of tumblr and don't have any contact with transfems face to face

I will never forgive CinemaSins for how they contributed to the decline in media literacy in the last ten years and you can tell them I said that if you want. Not everything that is unexplained in media is plothole. Not every mistake is worthy of scorn and if a twist is visible prior to it hitting, that is not a bad thing. Your trivial nitpicking has set back the human ability to discuss media at least 30 years

i know you guys are all super into reclaiming slurs and stuff, but you can’t just go around calling random people faggots.

I've seen trans guys discuss being unwelcome in queer spaces the more they pass as men and I believe it not only because listening to other people's experiences is important, but bc I'm an intersex cis woman who passes effortlessly as a cis man and the same has been true for me. I am a femme dyke who makes other queers uncomfortable bc they perceive me as a man, or more masc than them. Times I've put myself into queer only spaces have often been awkward or uncomfortable or isolating.

Someone else mentioned they can't even make being a femme trans man work for them at least to be in irl queer spaces without fear from others bc they're fat and balding and that's the wrong way to have a gender. The same has been true for me! When you're fat and hairy but the head hair is thinner and you wanna dress femme, you're seen as a pig freak even by queer people. And you're automatically a threat to anyone more feminine than you, no matter what.

It's crazy how much I relate to so many experiences from trans women and men both. Do yall ever think about how much you relate to intersex people? Do you ever think about how these things affect intersex people outside of the lense of transphobia specifically? Do you ever consider your experience with transphobia "misdirected intersexism"?

no, actually, trying to position your disgust/annoyance with "stereotypical" trans women as political righteousness doesnt make me want to abandon them it makes me suspicious of you
