Every Time I See Discourse About Pedohysteria Amidst A Trans Genocide I Think About That News Article

[original post that sof's library (@/folkoftheshelf) is reacting to: Globe Eye News reports: "White House says no "genocide" happening in Gaza." May 13, 2024]

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.

you! white queer!

can you listen to a queer person of color talk about intracommunity racism without making it about yourself?

“there are femboys who are cis men” there are femboys who say they are cis men girl 😭 don’t be dense you know the difference. did you have male privilege when you were trapped in the closet? or is there some magic soul difference between you and all the “cis men” who haven’t come out as trans yet? be for real. stop appealing to magic soul gender. gender analysis has to be material: crossdressers are TMA. crossdressers crossdress for “sex” or for “performance” or for “fetish” or a million different other reasons because it is socially unacceptable to express it in their public lives, even partially, even if they don’t come out as trans women. do you think Eddie Izzard was immune to transmisogyny before a few years ago? Do you think that didn’t affect job opportunities etc?

whether you want to classify these people as victims or perpetrators (or somewhere in between) the fact is that there is a very real social and legal incentive for sissies and crossdressers and femboys and drag queens to draw a line and say "i am still a cis man, i am not one of those trans women" in not so many words. And they benefit from that and sell it and tme people celebrate it in a way they do not when that line is crossed.

this isn't some "magic soul difference" or whatever bad faith argument you're assuming of me; this is just the clear and simple statement that people view and treat feminine AMAB people differently once they say "i am not a man", once we demand to be respected as women.

it's like, in theory okay to point out that anti-trans legislation will inevitably misfire and start policing cis women as a way to point out that transphobia realistically is just a system that polices gender and scrutinizes and gatekeeps womanhood, but like. if all you ever hear is "what about the cis women this will effect" then that doesn't exactly inspire confidence that the primary targets of these laws (transfems) actually have like, allies.

im never annoying and you're always delighted to see me on the dash

it fucking sucks being a disabled person who can't work and having to see these fuckass posts where someone's like "ahaha jobless people have no life and that's why everyone shitty online has No Job" and everyone and their mother reblogs it joyfully onto my dash for me to see. yes unemployed and unemployable people are truly without exception dogshit people with no hobbies and no redeeming qualities. you're so right. anyway if you'll excuse me i have to start my shift at the I'll Never Be Employed Because Of Permanent Disability And I Love Knowing How You Really See Me store

every post about trans women does not need an addition that creates a parallel equivalent for transmascs. make your own motherfucking post

it's such a joke that one of the "treatments" for fibromyalgia is radical acceptance. any doctor with even an ounce of sympathy should immediately recognize that that's an unacceptable thing to tell a chronic pain patient
