being a trans woman is fun because like 90% of your interactions with other people will be tinted by transmisogyny, but you're not allowed to acknowledge it because then you're "avoiding criticism by pretending all of it is just bigotry"

a love so nice its echoed in dreams!!

ppl will post butch positivity with like 5 allusions to transmasculitity (binding, t, top surgery, etc) and 0 mentions of transfem butches

i love you butches on estrogen! i love you butches who feel caught between expressing yourself as a woman and as a butch because of transmisogyny! i love you butches who want/have bottom surgery! i love you butches who don’t! i love you butches who feel like butch is your gender and i love you butches who feel like butch is your sexuality!

i love you transfem butches! i love you trans women butches! i love you butches!

awesome. this is just what America needs

i can say it a thousand fucking times "i dont hate femboys i dont hate drag" and people will waltz in "oh how dare you? how dare you hate drag and femboys? how dare you say they're perverts and freaks? how dare you say they don't suffer from queerphobia?" im genuinely so fucking pissed right now FUCKING LISTEN TO ME. READ THE WORDS THAT I WRITE

@ahmedpalestine Can't Lose Traction Now Not after the incredible two weeks of your donations that boosted the campaign to 15%, but we must continue. Ahmed shared how everything changed for him and his family on October 7. He also mentioned that my dear friend is struggling with anxiety attacks, lack of sleep, and rest. It's hard to imagine how anyone can cope and carry on with life when everything has changed for Ahmed. He prays day and night for Allah's protection and for the campaign to reach its goal quickly so he can be reunited with his dear family. Here are some details about Ahmed's situation: He is 29 years old, currently living and studying in Belgium. His family used to live in Northern Gaza but are now displaced in the Al-Maghazi refugee camp. The family consists of 12 members, including 6 children and 2 newborn twins. We need 55k to cover the daily living expenses, purchase diapers and formula, and the rest will be used for evacuation expenses. I hope this provides a clear picture of Ahmed's family situation. Please continue to show your support and donate to help my dear brother and friend, Ahmed. Let's make it easier for him.

Sometimes I post stuff I know Terfs will hate just so I can get a free block list in the notes

Every few years there’s a shift in the discourse where someone decides that there’s a group of queers who aren’t “really” queer and for reasons unknown decided that they will focus all of their discourse on trying to discredit that one group.

It used to be “straight passing” bisexuals. Then it was “Theyfabs” and “transtrenders”. Then it was “hetero aces.” Now it’s “transmisogyny-exempt” people. And the thing you find every time is that the people writing angry multi-paragraph screeds about how these “invaders” are “stealing resources” or “silencing people” but they can never actually point to more than one or two examples, at best, of this happening.

But if you repeat something enough with a strong enough conviction in your voice, people will pretty much always be willing to think you’re right, even when you aren’t.

This is the basis of fascism. Exclusionary rhetoric is fascist. No one is immune to this thought process. You have to actively work on avoiding it.

“Did you just call me a fascist because I’m concerned with TME people silencing trans women” i mean, yeah. I did. Fix yourself, and I’ll be willing to talk to you again. I won’t apologize for what I said, mind you. But you can always fix yourself.

I used to think like that. I used to talk about how you “need dysphoria to be trans” and how bi people can “pass as straight” and how trans men “take up our space.” And I was wrong about all that.

There’s enough space in the queer community for everyone. We are always stronger when we understand this. Please, look towards unity rather than division. Fix yourselves.

Being wrong doesn’t make you a bad person. Changing your views is not evidence of weakness. Your friends will still live you if you change. Please.

things should be easier for trans women and transfem people
