Hi I’m back to rant in your inbox again because I keep encountering’TERFS don’t know about trans men’ comments every time the topic of trans men and mascs being forced to use the women’s bathroom. Because they DO know about us. Did people collectively forget Irreversible Damage? Do they close their eyes and plug their ears when TERFs talk about “vulnerable and autistic girls being groomed”? Transphobes of all flavours know about trans men and mascs. They view those of us who can be detransitioned as broken, defective women that need to be violently “fixed” and those of us who are “too far gone” as dangerous perverts. I’m so tired of people who call themselves trans allies doing this. I know it’s not overt transandrophobia but it feels transandrophobic to act like transphobes don’t know about us and don’t intentionally harm us.

welcome back anon! thats what im here for. :)

i think youre exactly correct - TERFs HAVENT forgotten about transmascs, they just dont view us as “trans,” they view us as either “confused autistic girls who are being groomed” that need to be detransitioned forcibly, or “dangerous perverts who groom people into being trans” that need to be killed and are deserving of violence - either way, we are unpersoned, made invisible, and placed into dangerous spaces. people who argue that transmascs dont experience violence at the hands of TERFs need to do some serious reading on the history of transmaculine people, and how our unique form of marginalization only furthers the violence against us.

At the planned parenthood reading all the posters on the wall about access to abortions and seeing that they all specify women. Which like I get but also. Damn. It just gets to you sometimes.

im starting to think y’all don’t think trans men are really transgender.

the thing that pisses me off the most about this whole "haha trans men in womens bathrooms will make them reconsider" spin going around is that it basically pretends trans men and mascs of color dont exist and arent in very real danger

like, think about for even one second how, historically, white women have weaponized the perception of moc as inherently masculinely savage to get them killed for being threats to fragile helpless white girls

do you think the lady who calls 911 on black men birdwatching in the park is going to see a trans man of color in the womens bathroom and go "gosh! i never thought about it that way. you've really exposed the flaw in my arguement"? no. shes going to call security and that man will be brutalized or killed

(and dont even for a second think that woc will be safe either. i was getting side eyes and pointed questions long before i ever came out because my skin was brown and i had short hair. tmoc and our sisters arent fucking safe and we deserve better than being used as some white posters pithy "gotchya")

When a cis man gets offended and says, "Not all men," it is generally in the context that he feels he is personally being attacked as an individual, and said to try and halt a conversation on sociopolitical issues that he is not generally a victim of (benefits from, even).

When transmascs get offended and say, "Not all men," it is generally in the context of them feeling erased from a sociopolitical perspective on the basis of their nuanced identity (not a cis man but not a woman-- or, in the case of some genderfluid / multigender individuals, not just a woman), and said to try and broaden a conversation on sociopolitical issues (because they are far deeper than just, "masculinity as a whole is evil, and men are trash") that they are being othered from, despite facing said sociopolitical issues as a victim of them.

Whether you acknowledge this or not, you having the same exact negative reaction to both instances is a reflection of a cisgender-centric worldview.

People still tend to lump JK Rowling in with the category of ~problematic artists~ and I need everyone to understand that is not the problem with her. She is not comparable to anyone who wrote a piece of fiction you hate, or someone who made rude comments in 2015 and has since learned better.

She is far more like Elon Musk. She is a radicalized person with an extreme amount of social and financial power, and for YEARS she has been using that power to try to influence her government into hurting vulnerable people, on purpose. And she has succeeded. THAT is the problem with her, and THAT is why spending money on her books is so dangerous, not because her books aged badly.

Critiquing her work is fine, of course (I personally was never a fan so I really don’t care) but you NEED to understand that fiction is not the main issue here. And I truly think acting like she’s the same as the rest of any giant list of ~problematic creators of the week~ waters down how dangerous she is.

being the second child is so lame when your older brother has no fortunes to inherit or power to come into. all of my scheming younger brother tendencies are being completely wasted like it’s not even worth putting all my efforts into usurping him and taking his place as heir. it’s not even worth it
