every trans woman, no matter how dominant or sadistic or brave or stone, has a self that, if you make her feel both safe and desired enough to be so vulnerable as to become that self, melts at your touch and cries in your arms and holds you like you're the most important thing in the world and if you receive such blatant and raw trust from a woman in your life you better treasure it like an oceanbound castaway stumbling upon a freshly dead turtle and if you hurt her in this state you deserve to have every droplet of joy and value you see in your life drained from you by the hot and vengeful sun.

did you really compare not liking incest fetishists with the lynching of Emmett Till or is that just a bullshit lie someone made up because it sounds too outlandish to be possibly true

this is what's known as reductio ad absurdum. I had a post talking about how the social ostracization campaigns against trans women for alleged sex crimes/pedojacketing/general "sexual degeneracy" shit are bad, and someone commented about how no real harm comes from these instances of harassment, so I replied with how "trans women are predators" fearmongering does lead to very direct violence, and how trans women are not the only group this has historically been used against, and talked about how in the US black people have been painted as sexual predators to justify violence against them, citing Emmett Till as an example.

Now, it's hard to drum up hate against someone talking about overlapping systems of oppression that, while not equivalent, have similarities in their histories that are worth looking at. But if you contract someone's point down as short as possible and replace each element of it with the most inflammatory thing possible, subbing in "incest fetishists" for trans women, and treating any discussion of similarities between different forms of oppression as "she's devaluing racism by comparing it to X" then yeah it sounds ridiculous.

At the end of the day, the people who do this sort of thing want to undermine any discussion of transmisogyny as unserious, so they do everything in their power to obscure what's actually said and make the most ludicrous strawmaid in its place. We see this time and again and again and again

Akemi Homura is transfem lesbian

regular lesbian shame but with the additional feeling of responsibility to madoka whom she believes is Ontologically Purer than herself

"I'm not human" (In addition: "Because I have chosen to become a (magical) girl.")

"I am a corpse"

Originally extremely shy, tries to make herself as small as possible -- eventually is forced to become bitter and jaded through being afforded the unique perspective to see how the agents of Patriarchy (kyuubey) violently subjugate herself and the other girls, who are themselves unable to see the state of affairs, and who are thus Enlisted by Patriarchy to destroy her and each other.

This Pattern Is Destroying Me But To Change It Means I Must Acknowledge That Continuing It Was Meaningless And Immediately Fall To Despair

I have invented such a newfound way of hating myself that I have somehow innovated an entirely new form of selfhood, which both skirts the boundaries between (magical) girl and beast (witch), but which transcends both. I did this because I am so profoundly desperate to be loved, and have had such a vacuous lack of it in my life, that I latched onto the first woman who showed me the remotest amount of kindness, and upon whom my desperate affections have literally Imbued Godhood Into.

Hated By The Cosmos, Spiritually

Considered "shittier than other magical girls" by Nature, and has to work eight billion times as hard as other magical girls to be considered their equal

Is still reviled as an outsider and rejected from the fold, and regarded with immediate and visceral suspicion by all the other magical girls who meet her

Willpower which transcends multiple universes to keep staying alive despite all of the cosmic burden and the forces of Patriarchy Embodied (kyuubey) aiming all of their power at her Cessation.

Grieving the loss of something that the other magical girls literally are fundamentally incapable of comprehending.

Weird-Ass Chuunibyou Name That Fucks Extremely Hard

Is the only one who sees The Patriarch for what he is, and is therefore maligned by the Other Magical Girls for shooting him with a gun.

Uniquely selected by The Patriarch for freakish, violent laboratory study, where she is tormented and forced to live a hellish nightmare for unknown years.

believes "My Capacity For Love Is What Makes Me Bad, Because I Am A Spiritually Corruptive Force."

Considered by the Patriarch to be a failed, degenerate form of Magical Girl, which, rather than fulfilling her purpose as a tool of his designs, interferes with his plans.

Was Not Naturally Made with a magical girl weapon (Sayaka's sword, Kyouko's spear, Madoka's bow, Mami's rifle) but was rather given an entirely different kind of tool -- a shield -- and therefore has to innovate the technology to manufacture her own artificial weapons, which are notably symbolically associated with "male violence" (yakuza)

Is the only one fighting the actual fight that matters (against the Patriarch Himself), rather than fighting the false battle that the Patriarch has convinced the other Magical Girls is the real battle.

on trans day of remembrance the community came together to have an event, including this being read by a local poet. and I know all you people will eat it up as much as I did

american society has us trannies in a blue whale challenge ran on a subconscious level. the disgusted stares from strangers, unreturned emails for job applications, the constant background radiation of 'detransition and assimilate, or die". its pretty rational that we're all thinking about the big S

Is she a “binary trans woman” or is she a transfem who would go by she/they if it didn’t mean exclusively being referred to with they/them

[tgirlranting]

i think if your response to "for every oppression a man faces a woman is facing that same stuff but with added intersectional misogyny" is "well we all face the same stuff" then idk if you actually asked anything of me in good faith tbh. "i don't see color" type of response

[tgirlranting]

I think some understand how transmisogyny functions and how trans women are cast as dangerous predators in an abstract way but it's shocking like. How people will not realize that they have for sure had direct contact with this thinking. Like when you pull up the Wikipedia page for any male serial killer for whom there's any evidence at all that they cross dressed or had like the slightest sprinkle of trans in them like. You will see that on their Wikipedia page! It will become part of how they are understood in popular culture! It's easy to see that and go 'oh well he wasn't trans actually' or 'oh well I guess that happened but it's irrelevant I personally don't care' but like, that information isn't included for no reason! The thing that makes that information notable enough to document on their gotdang wikipedia page is the transphobic, specifically transmisogynistic, assumption that the merest possibility of transfemininity is evidence of their depravation. And on top of that it also does the work of transfeminizing people who are Not Even Trans in order to promote and produce the idea that the transfeminine is monstrous.

"um excuuuse me, but our culture as men is founded on the denigration and humiliation of the women in our community, so when you criticize misogyny you are attacking our beloved history" doesn't magically become a good argument just because you're gay or trans, you dumb assholes

Talking to another Black transfemme rn about some shit she went through and just.

It makes me so sick every time I have to tell yet another Black transfemme that unless we are REALLY well-liked in community, basically anyone can rape or use us freely with no consequences because we will almost always only be believed if it’s another Black person involved.

I can’t count the number of times I’ve “technically” been raped because I recognized I was in a situation with someone nonblack (mainly white) where I couldn’t safely say no because if I did they could just do it anyway and get away with it, or accuse me of shit and be believed.

Fuck, I got sexually assaulted earlier this year by a white I had just started trusting, only for her to later claim I was the one who did it and for people to blame me bc I wasn’t the one who came out first. Fuck, I got told that because of my “pattern of behavior” (people lying about me) I couldn’t possibly be a victim, by someone else I trusted. And just.

I’m so tired of nobody believing me when I talk about being sexually assaulted ever. Fuck I’ve had people who didn’t even know her claim my most abusive ex, who I have proof of beating me/serial raping me, was REALLY my victim and I was trying to “preemptively DARVO” her before she could come out about me.

And that really fucked me up bc like. I was functionally enslaved by her and that’s not hyperbole. Fuck, the one time I tried to run with nothing but my clothes I was wearing after she beat me in public, she literally hunted me down in her car as I ran through fields and suburb alleys/streets to escape her. She trapped me after I made a wrong turn and forced me to come back, so I just… gave up on escaping.

Besides beating me, she used to rape me by saying she’d self harm or attempt if I didn’t fuck her, and a few times by saying she’d call the cops if I didn’t do what she wanted bc they’d never believe a 6’4” Black “Man” was the victim.

This is just something nonblacks do to us. No it’s not right or how things should be, but it’s how things are. Black transfemmes are basically free use sex toys whether we want it or not and it fucking sucks. I’m so tired of getting raped by whites.

whether its trap shit or gender bender stuff or transmisogynistic caricatures or depictions of women with massive dicks, a lot of people like the idea of a trans woman. they like abstractions of trans women. they do not like it when a trans woman sees herself in those abstractions.

[tgirlranting]

i hear a lot of fellow TME people misinterpret transfeminist critiques of drag as if what they're saying is akin to a reactionary "boys shouldn't dress up as girls" and not that, without transmisogyny, "drag" would be as noteworthy as any other form of modeling/singing/dancing/comedy

"Of course they had autism back in the day! it was just guys like Uncle Billy who knows too much about trains!"

they did have autism back in the day, it was just called mental retardation or childhood schizophrenia and people with it were interred in asylums, lobotomized and experimented on, killed, shipped off to live with family abroad, hidden from the public as shameful, or died from illness or injuries. It was people like Uncle Billy, but it was people like Rosemary Kennedy, aunt to the current secretary of health and human services of the US, a man pushing dangerous rhetoric about Autism to the public.

Autism and other developmental disabilities and neurodivergence isn't something that nobody knew about until the 2000s. Autistic people have been marginalized and killed for much, much longer. Remember your high support needs, profoundly disabled, and capital-D Disabled autistic siblings in arms and don't step on them to win approval from people who want you dead too.
