saw someone in the tags talking about being a "transmasc isolationist" in response to transandrophobia-

no! not that! the response to exclusionary ideologies shouldn't be more exclusion! that's how we got here in the first place!

Am I going insane or is the idea of "I'm scared to go to the bathroom because I could be seriously injured or arrested" not a thing most trans people experience? I feel like framing it as something only happening to trans women completely erases the exact same thing happening to trans people in general. I feel like that's just transphobia, not transmisogyny, but idk.

haha I'm going to go into whatever bathroom has the shortest line

^This is something I can joke about because I personally am stronger and braver than this person. I cannot stress this enough, she is weaker than me for thinking trans women cannot and do not make jokes like that. She believes that because she personally doesn't have the nerve, but I do, and she should admire me as an icon of transfemininity as a result.

like genuinely if you're into forcefem and you were AMAB you should actually shut the fuck up whenever a trans person AFAB politely asks you to consider tagging it or has a broadly similar kink

like yo people are forced to be girls in real life and it's deeply painful trauma have you considered that? is that a thing you've registered? that the idea is more than just a cool thing you wish happened to you? I would be fully supportive of the same deference being given by people who are into forcemasc if we must adopt this framework in order to act like human beings to each other but miraculously they aren't fucking weird about other trans people in the first place and I think it'd be great if maybe that could just be the path forward instead

like do you think I WANT to exist in a world where we treat those kinks like that? of course not! no one would! I would personally love if we could all just go back to pretending like forcefem and forcemasc are wacky fun imaginary concepts that everyone can play with instead of acting like "gentrification of a fetish" is what we need to be concerned about going into 2025

Lol. You can first block transmisogyny-ratio-reader and then use the blog to actually follow people who are not raging bigots against anyone who's not a trans radfem

update 3 hours later: The blog is now transmisogyny-ratio-reader2! Which she's using to block and ban evade to keep spewing her bigotry.

deeply frustrating that 1. my poorly worded vent post about peoples' attitude towards forced pregnancy is the one being reblogged 2. people are comparing being forcibly impregnated with being forced to impregnate someone

those two things are utterly violating in different ways and i think comparing them undermines the unique ways in which both of them are violating and horrific because they are not the same

Coming from a middle eastern genderqueer, imo the whole thing is less 'transwomen calling TMEs theyfabs is like black people calling white people crackers' and a lot more 'transwomen calling TMEs theyfabs is like black people calling middle easterns camel fuckers.' (Obligatory these groups aren't exclusive, you can come from the middle east and be black or be mixed middle eastern and black.)

Like. Sure there's a lot of stuff about black people that the vast majority of middle easterns do not and will not understand. Sure there is a lot of anti black sentiments held by many middle easterns. Sure you can go ahead and say that this slur does not have the history or gravity of the n-slur, so it's not the same. You can even argue that because colorism affects your average black person far more than your average middle eastern, that the racism they face is simply a lesser version of the racism black people face.

But here's the thing.

Even if all of that is true, it does not justify calling me a camel fucker. You are still being fucking racist when you call me a camel fucker! You are being racist! Towards another racial group that also deeply suffers under the same systems that make black people suffer! I understand the frustration towards racist middle easterns but that does not make it okay! Some rhetoric that hurts them may not hurt me and vice versa, but we are still both suffering from a racist society, and there's also a lot of overlap in our experiences when we focus less on generalisations and more on specific instances! Yes it's important to address anti black sentiments within the general middle eastern population, I am all for that and I think it's important, and it's part of why I hate when people focus on white people and not nonblack people when it comes to talking about anti black sentiments BC that is NOT exclusively a white people thing.

But quite frankly if you are calling me a camel fucker and telling me to shut up about my own issues because you think you've got it worse and then claim if I'm upset about being called a camel fucker it just proves I'm racist, or if you say it's okay to call me a camel fucker because you've had a lot of bad experiences with middle easterns and I gotta prove I'm 'one of the good ones' by nodding my head and smiling, then I'm sorry, but you are the racist in that scenario, and I am not shutting up. I am still going to defend black people with my whole heart but holy shit you are being racist and I do not have to take that sort of verbal abuse. Thank god this isn't an actual thing that has happened (the justification for being called a camel fucker, I have been called a camel fucker by black people).

Except even then this analogy is flawed because I think trans people of all slices have WAY more in common with their experiences than black people and middle easterns AND I think the trans community does a lot more to try and understand each other than middle easterns and black people try to understand each other. But it sure as fuck is more accurate than comparing it to black people calling white people crackers.

(Sorry if any of this is worded weird, I am on mobile and not used to it)

The issue is that they're barely willing to agree AFAB trans people have any problems literally at all and what they do admit is "I guess sometimes TERFs care about them too much and out of overwhelming but misguided love occasionally do things that inconvenience them".

The way "transemasculation" has been seemingly re-coined as the sole replacement for transandrophobia, anti-transmasculinity, etc. is gross enough by itself, but as far as I can tell, the term had ALREADY been coined in 2022 ALONG WITH talking about antimasculism (both described here). And I just. I knew it wasn't in good faith in the first place, but to not even do 5 minutes of research before trying to coin a term about experiences you don't have...? Hello?

^^^^

If your argument is that transmascs had no place in trans culture in its beginning stages...

you should be WAY more concerned about what was happening to your transmasc siblings during those stages, than any kind of 'gotcha'
