Taking a nap, Velvet Nation. Don't open the door for strangers!

Oh, and the idea that statistical measures of privilege in the world translate 1 on 1 to individual people's experiences is asinine. Trans men are men, sure, but that doesn't mean every single one has more material and social benefits than every woman out there lmao

Yeah, like. That anon said men of color have male privilege, but less than white men, but the average Black man is far beneath many, many privileged white women, which is not controversial. Even if trans men had some vague, general masculine privilege, equating them with men of color's relative male privilege would still suggest there are situations and circumstances where transfems can be above them, which these people do not want to do.

A lot of people seem to think that "men benefit from patriarchy" means both that "every single man is oppressing every single non-man inherently" (which also reduces any nonbinary identities to being seen as inherently feminine), and "certain subsections of men don't experience unique struggles and oppression." Like black men, trans men, and gay men are all men, but they all face unique issues specific to their groups that they deserve to be able to talk about. People be stupid tbh

They sure do be stupid, anon.

The whole...tme/tma thing and the transmascs vs transfemmes things is funny to me because it's so Chronically online yknow? Because it is SO infused with trans spaces online but irl trans people are equal and just chilling with each other. Online is SO hostile that irl has ironically turned safer in some regards

I've heard trans mascs can have a hard time in offline spaces as well but if that's not been your experience I'm happy for you/transmascs in your spaces!

also like, literally none of this would be happening if you weren’t trawling tags looking for posts on transmisogyny and going into the inbox of anyone who doesn’t pretend transmascs are incapable of transmisogyny. you quite literally brought this on yourself. if you don’t want people rebutting you in your inbox, maybe just kind your own fucking business? don’t complain about being harassed when you harassing people is the reason you’re being called out

Anon I'm not...not really complaining about anything? I mean, I'm analyzing the feedback I get, but like. You seem to have the impression I'm over here having a meltdown. I guess I can understand that, considering baeddelblr is apparently fragile enough that engaging seperate people in single conversations over a period of time counts as, uh, harassment?

Blair white is a right wing trans woman ytber who's also racist + transphobic....You're nothing like her wtf

I'm way prettier.

centering men in discussions of misogyny is bad, but suddenly when you add the word trans in front of men and misogyny then it’s unacceptable to acknowledge that patriarchy exists? all men benefit from the patriarchy. men of color still benefit from the patriarchy, just not as much as white men. gay men still benefit from the patriarchy, just not as much as straight men. but god forbid that we acknowledge that trans men still benefit from the patriarchy, just not as much as cis men.

Transmascs do not have anything over us, period. You're just wrong, anon.

And even if you weren't - even if transmascs did benefit from the patriarchy to the limited extent that gay men do, which they don't - you should still, surely, be able to let them do something as simple as create their own words for their impression. I always say that transmisogynistic trans men exist and should be called out. You can pretend you *just* want to acknowledge this or that, but what actually happens is transmascs getting harassed, chased out of spaces, and facing hostility for things they do not do and power they do not have. Don't pretend otherwise.

And that's just in the trans community! That's what I focus on. But on this hellsite people go as far as saying that transmascs suffer no oppression outside of the most dramatically violent crimes (sometimes not even that, despite the most famous trans hate crime being a trans man!) and it boils my blood. The idea that you just want to point out how transmascs aren't perfect is a lie.

[velvetvexations]

tearing down your transfem sisters and calling them slurs is not a great look

"Baeddel" is a slur to "silence you"? DAMN, I WISH IT WORKED!

[velvetvexations]

genuinely you seem like you’d get along with blaire white

I've heard that name but am not really sure who that is. Please, I'd love for you to elaborate.

The answer is that Fantasy High's worldbuilding is really bad, by normal standards but especially by BLeeM's.

So does anyone know how the afterlife works in Spyre? Because there are orc heavens and hells, but Pok went to (regular?) heaven and Bill went to (regular?) hell, and we know there's a dragon paradise. And like, there are ruling devils for hell, so are there ruling gods for heaven? Because we also know Ankarna and Cassandra have their own afterlives. BLeeM, explain yourself.
