Man I've Been Seeing A Certain Flavour Of Post Recently In Transmasc Circles And Like. We Absolutely

no one cares what a cuntb*y who believes in transandrophobia/misandry has to say unless it's in a s****** note

you kazoo voiced rats have said enough don't you think?

stool kick yourself

babes you are proving my point.

everyone point and laugh at the transphobe

This is a false equivalency.

The term for somebody who is transfem and who is oppressed for being transfem—is transfem. Intersex people are intersex. Transfem people are transfem. Perisex people are not intersex. Non-transfem people are not transfem.

TMA/TME is more closely equivalent to if I said IA/IE (intersexism applicable/intersexism exempt).

The reason TMA/TME is problematic is because it fails to acknowledge that non-transfem people can be impacted my transmisogyny—the same way perisex transfems can be impacted by intersexism. And also because it completely ignores the existence of the oppression transmascs experience, categorising them in with their oppressors. The TMA/TME binary is problematic because it collapses complex interplays of oppression into one binary system.

If you want a word for somebody who is transfem and impacted by transfem oppression in the way somebody who is transfem would be? The term is transfem.

“Transfems really are the only people who can’t have terms for their own oppression” I have a question. How do you feel about the term “transandrophobia?” How would you feel about the terms “TAA” and “TAE” (transandrophobia applicable and transandrophobia exempt)? If you’re okay with those terms, I’ll eat my words (somehwhat, it’s still weird, but at least you’re okay with it across the board). If you’re not—why? Do you think trans men don’t experience specific oppression? Is your issue just with who coined it? How do you feel about the term transemasculinisation? Anti-transmasculinity? Please consider why you think it’s okay to restrict the language transmascs use to describe their oppression.

Further, why not make it TMNA/TMNE (transmisogynoir applicable and transmisogynoir exempt)? Black trans women absolutely face the highest rates of assault (assuming black trans men aren’t being erased in the statistics, which is a big assumption). If you’re talking about systems of oppression… why not consider the most impactful axes? Why only consider the axis of man/woman? Consider what this says about the proximity of your theory to radical feminism.

Maybe you expect trans guys to be misogynistic because you think they'll reject femininity and femaleness in the same way you reject masculinity and maleness. But for all the "testosterone is a poison, masculinity is toxic, being a man is disgusting and being a woman is better in every way" rhetoric I see coming from certain trans women and transfems, I absolutely do not see anything similar coming from trans men and transmascs about estrogen and femininity being disgusting and horrible and corruptive even though we had those things pushed on us just as much.

I know you meant nothing malicious by this and it might've absolutely just been poor wording on your part (which happens!), but please consider moving forward wording the discussion around abortion around the capability of getting pregnant rather than gendering it, even when talking about transgender people.

This is not exclusive to perisex transmascs. Many intersex trans folks people, across the whole spectrum, can or were able to get pregnant. Even if you meant as far as perisex trans people go, perisex genderqueer and nonbinary people who aren't transmasc and are capable of giving birth exist, and they also deserve not to be ignored in the conversation.

I'm still thinking about that one post (by a cis woman) where it was some news of abortion access being restricted, and she said "This is why I need to stand up for my trans sisters". Fully meaning trans women. and I just ... ugh. There are times where I can kind of understand the logistics behind why trans men end up being invisible in certain discussions but like.. are you fucking kidding

Hate to say it but the abortion issue isn't one where the opinion of perisex trans women matters all that much, if at all.

If you're gonna talk about trans people, it's always going to be only perisex transmascs and trans men that matter.

Hope I'm not derailing at all, but I had a very similar experience trying to get breastforms for a friend of mine.

Can't make this up, one of the only two companies we found that made breast forms for darker skin just didn't fucking bother colouring in the areolas.

For the record, the lighter toned breastform they made had them colored in. It was literally only the one geared towards Black people that didn't. I genuinely cannot think of any good faith explanation for this.

Roughly speaking, we could find 1-4 light skin toned breastforms per company. After going through god knows how many, we found two geared towards black people, and one of them was the aforementioned No Areola breastform. And if you had anything in the middle, you were simply shit out of luck, as my friend was.

I have had better luck finding packers and straps for more varied skin tones where I am, but evidently that's not a universal experience.

So I'm starting this thing with this guy and I went to an *ahem* adult goods store because my previous harness is a modified pair of briefs that was tight when I was about 20lbs lighter and most assuredly I do not fit anymore and he's coming over in 2 weeks so I don't quite trust shipping atm

But also within that store was genuinely nothing that could even be close to my skin tone. They had "realistic" white skintones, bright purple and pink, and a few solid black or solid grey. Nothing in browner skin tones.

And it just reminded me of how much antiblackness is baked into society. That the only realistic penis is apparently one that belongs gs to a white man, and that black bodies are so undesirable while white bodies are considered the default.

Ahhh I think I would fuck with they/them pronouns but I don't think I could ever use them for as long as tme people continue to degender trans women by they/themming us. Like if I go by she/they. I know which ones are gonna be used if people got a problem with me.

"TERFs don't actually hate men; they actually see trans women as women because they engage in transmisogyny against us!"

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think that "ExterminatetheYchromosome.tumblr.com" thinks that we're women because we say we are...
