Saw This On Twitter, So... Here's A Reminder To Keep Boycotting Or Start Doing So If You Were Unaware

just want to check in; girls with heavy eyebags and deep, sunken dead eyes are still hot right? does that make me cute?

can I just log in

no space is apolitical

almost every big post i see on here with a joke about transfeminine people, whether coming from someone transfeminine or not, rely on sexualization of transfems as the punchline. I could probably list on one hand the number of popular transfem-humor posts ive seen in the past year where the joke wasn't sexual in nature. which could mean nothing.

"it's all in your head" correct! unfortunately I am also in there

every time i see discourse about pedohysteria amidst a trans genocide i think about that news article from 2016 about the mexican immigrant who voted for trump because trump said he’d get rid of all the “bad hombres” from mexico, only to be deported himself because it turns out what trump was really saying was that he wanted to deport all mexicans, not just “the bad ones”

not just him, but there were many other examples too, like white conservatives who have mexican immigrant friends and family or people in the community important to them who were mexican immigrants, and they voted for trump because they thought trump was just getting rid of “criminals”, and then they regret it when their families and communities get torn apart by deportations of their spouses, their friends, their favourite restaurant owners, etc.

anyways, i hope young queers, trans people esp, understand that when conservatives talk about “pedophiles” and “groomers”, they’re not talking about actual child abusers, they’re talking about all queer people. they’re talking about all trans people. it’s why in florida, they’re categorizing “drag” as a child sex crime, and making sex crimes against children punishable by death. they’re trying to execute every single trans person, and that’s just the rhetoric they’re using

so stop buying into the pedohysteria. it’s easy to think “well, i’m not a pedophile, so i’ll be safe” when you don’t realize that in the eyes of conservatives, every single queer person is a pedophile and deserves death, and contributing to their rhetoric by trying to figure out which trans woman is a pedophile is just accelerating your own march to the gallows

tumblr friendships are hard to maintain like im sorry i know i havent talked to you in 5 months but you’re still super rad and i still consider us friends im just dumb

so bearing in mind that t4t was invented by, to be about, transfems, how would you have transmascs who connect with that concept go forward from here? would you want us to come up with our own thing or just try to handle using t4t with more like, awareness and respect and stuff? if youd like to pitch in

genuine question and you definitely dont have to answer, if you answer harshly i wont take it personally haha

listen, there's no reason to give up using it. that cat is out of the bag and it's not really possible to make the space exclusive again, and personally i don't think it would be better that way. all i want and what the transfems i've also seen talk about this seem to want is for the transmascs and straight trans women who use t4t to remember its history and not feel the need to step up and correct or shut down conversations that are being had by transfem 4 transfem lesbians, we do still have our own little community even if it only used to be called t4t and we should remain an autonomous party in conversations about both t4t and our own community. basically don't butt in like that last anon did.

and thank you for asking that's absolutely the right question to ask when you find out your terms are taken from a marginalized group you don't belong to, the answer will vary depending on the situation but the question is always good

I've noticed a lot of transfem sapphics & lesbians get really worried and nervous in lesbian & sapphic spaces because they think they "don't belong" or that people won't be into them. I'm here to say that you're WRONG and I'm personally giving every tgirl a kiss on the lips. I love women
