this blog is aggressively pro-trans, pro-queer, pro-“weird” identities, pro choice, pro-sex work, and communist

I believe in transandrophobia as a valid term to describe trans men’s unique experiences. If you have a problem with that just block me, I’m not going to debate you.

I love languages and linguistics. I’m casually studying Japanese and aiming for fluency in Gaeilge. I’m a beginner so while you are welcome to try to speak to me in either of these languages, I can’t promise I’ll be able to hold a good conversation!

my personal posts are #txt, vent posts are #vent or #negative if you need to block those, and when i enrage terfs with my epic gender posting i tag any interactions with #terfs tw

if you’re under 18 you MUST block #minors dni if you follow me. I am an adult who occasionally posts about sex in non-educational ways.

I have a tag for cat videos (#cats) and a tag that is mostly filled with cat videos anyway (#happy tag).

Feel free to tag me in posts about: Stardew Valley, Gen 4 or 5 pokemon, music, cats, knitting or crocheting, BRBA (haven’t seen BCS), queer experience and oppression (especially from a bisexual and/or transmasculine perspective)

if youre making any sort of "women experience x men experience y" statement, you should always pause and really ask yourself how trans* & intersex people fit into that statement to avoid falling into the trap of seeing gender/sex oppression as being entirely about the categories of "man" and "woman" (based around cis perisex experiences) with trans* & intersex people simply being shoved under either category, as if they are not actively targeted by the patriarchy & are equally important classes of gender/sex that need to be equally considered

""No wonder you've passed as a man! This is such an anti-woman society," a lesbian friend told me. To her, females passing as males are simply trying to escape women's oppression- period. She believes that once true equality is achieved in society, humankind will be genderless. I don't have a crystal ball, so I can't predict human behavior in the distant future. But I know what she's thinking- if we can build a more just society, people like me will cease to exist. She assumes that I am simply a product of oppression. Gee, thanks so much."

also if you wanna combat the "women in the past only crossdressed because of misogyny!" you have GOTTA read chapter 11 in Transgender Warriors where leslie feinberg does such a good job constructing an argument against this kind of radfem reductionism

"First, let's talk about who can pass as another sex. My same friend reminds me periodically that she too might have passed as a men a century ago to escape women's oppression. She stares right past my gender expression as she speaks. [...] I don't want to burst her bubble. Everyone deserves untrammeled dreams. But I want to tell her that, in the dead of winter, if she was bundled up against the cold, with a hood or hat covering her head, some man in a deli might call her "sir." But could she pass as male on a board ship, sleeping with and sharing common facilities with her fellow sailors for decades and not be discovered? Of course, hundreds of thousands of women have dreamed of escaping the economic and social inequities of their lives, but how many could live as a man for a decade or a lifetime? While a woman could throw on men's clothing and pass as a man for safety on dark roadways, could she pass as a man at an inn where men slept together in the same beds? Could she maintain her identity in daylight? Pass the scrutiny of co-workers? Would she really feel safer and more free? How could females have lived and been accepted as men without hormones or surgery? They must have been masculine; they must have been trans-gendered. If they were not, how could they pass? We don't know how each of the thousands who passed from female to male over the centuries would define themselves today- whether as transgender or transsexual or drag or any other modern definition. The point is that their gender expression allowed them to transition. I just don't believe that the debate about why "women pass as men" can be understood only in the light of women's, or of lesbian and gay, oppression. It has to be viewed in the context of trans history in order to make sense."

"Look at George Sand, the nineteenth-century novelist. It's true that she could not have published without a male nom de plume at that time. But if that's all there was to her identity, why did she wear men's clothing? Why was she attacked for masculine behavior? And if it was just a question of lesbian oppression, what was she doing in bed with Chopin? If passing from female to male is simply motivated by the need to escape lesbian oppression, then why have females who have passed as males chosen other men as lovers?"

"Finally, if so many females have passed as men only to escape women's oppression, then why have so many males passed as women? While it is biologically easier for a female to pass as a young boy than for a male to pass as a woman, there are many, many examples in the modern era of those who passed from male to female."

"We have not always been forced to pass, to go underground, in order to work and live. We have a right to live openly and proudly. When we are denied those rights, we are the ones who suffer that oppression. But when our lives are suppressed, everyone is denied an understanding of the rich diversity of sex and gender expression and experience that exist in human society. I have lived as a man because I could not survive openly as a transgendered person. Yes, I am oppressed in this society, but I am not merely product of oppression. That is a phrase that renders all our trans identities meaningless. Passing means having to hide your identity in fear, in order to live. Being forced to pass is a recent historical development. It is passing that is a product of oppression."

i’m trying to find good pictures for a transition comparison but in all of my recent pre-t photos you can’t see my face because

1. I’m in public and masking or

2. I’m hiding my face with my phone bc I hated it

and my face is the most noticeable difference so far. AUGH

any other autistics get aggressively confused why people phrase demands as questions? like. "can you take out the trash" and im like no im watching an ajr interview and then im in trouble cuz there wasnt actually an option it was actually "go take out the trash" and im told it sounds more polite but i find it incredibly rude because you give me fake options like more polite would be please go take out the trash so i know that i have to but it doesnt sound angry anyway this realllllly annoys me and idk if other people experience it like whatsoever

Some people who aren’t trans men or transmasc are way too comfortable saying vile shit to trans men and transmascs

I don’t care who thinks this is a bold take. Using slurs, misgendering us, accusing us of insinuating that we’re rapists, or telling us to kill ourselves because you think one guy’s ideas posted on the internet are bad is just plain evil. I don’t care if you’re also trans. At that point you’re transphobic. You’re also transphobic if your behavior towards a trans man would be misogynistic if you directed it at a cis woman. And you’re transphobic if you imply cis manhood is the one and only correct standard for manhood and not only expect trans men to live up to it but shit on us if we don’t.

If you think a take is bad, it’s not hard to just say “actually this sucks (and here’s why)” without being transphobic

I think to topple the devine rights of kings billionaires, we need to dispel the myth that they have that money because they are smart and worked hard and make good decisions

I think the zip ties on the submarine and the limited views on the advertising platform might begin to show them for what they are

They are not smarter than you. They are not better than you. And if you suddenly magically got all that money people would stop saying 'no' to you too. and that is not a good thing

The the zip ties on the WHAT?

Key equipment was attached to the outside of the submarine with zip ties

Screenshot of a new yorker article reads: grooves that deviated from standard design parameters. The exostructure and electrical pods used different metals, which could result in galvanic corrosion when exposed to seawater. The thruster cables posed "snagging hazards"; the iridium satellite beacon, to transmit the submersible's position after surfacing, was attached with zip ties. The flooring was highly flammable; the interior vinyl wrapping emitted “highly toxic gasses upon ignition."ALT

i feel like so many ppl on this website would benefit from acknowledging that "not experiencing something" does not mean benefitting from it. a trans woman not personally having to worry about having access to abortion is a situational benefit, but does not give her systemic privilege over me just because i do have to worry about that. a passing trans man using the bathroom safely is a situational benefit, but does not give him systemic privilege over people who can't.

i really really really really need people, especially white people, to examine why you are so obsessed with finding every single tiny perceived difference between you and the person you think is opposite of you on the gender seesaw and trying to turn that into some sort of systemic privilege they have. trans people as a class, none of us, have the power to systemically oppress each other on the basis of gender or assigned sex. none of us. many of us do, however, have the power to systemically oppress each other on the basis of race and ethnicity. and i think a lot of y'all are focusing on the gender conversation because you are incredibly uncomfortable with the one about ethnicity and especially race.
