trans women do not only start to experience oppression or harassment when they start to present as women, and trans men do not stop experiencing oppression or harassment when they start to present as men. when you exist outside the status quo of the sex and gender binaries you experience these things constantly through your whole life, both before and after transitioning. the idea that trans women were "socialized male" and so grew up not experiencing sexism is bullshit. the idea that trans men have as much privilege as cis men and get to just stop experiencing sexism when they transition is also bullshit. both these statements are transphobic and are meant to diminish our experiences
not having the courtesy to send rejection letters should count against your reputation as a company and i’m so serious about that
This won’t make your blog look ugly. How could you not reblog this? REBLOGGING THIS COULD SAVE A LIFE!!!
it’s really funny seeing people say “omg shut up about trans men being sexist to trans women you stupid bitch feminist in the real world trans guys and trans girls are making out” and then i go to a party in real life and meet a bunch of trans girls and they’re like “i hate those posts they’re so sexist” LMFAO
If you can't love a butch transfem while she's got stubble growing in then I find it hard to believe you could love a butch at all.
transition will make you happy in a way that nobody could possibly warn you about. it will never sound nearly as wonderful as it feels. there are just no words
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.
Look at me. You can not save Men's Rights as an ideology. Be a trans activist. Be an anarchist. Be a black activist or a disability activist. Men's Rights are not the solution to your problems; but you can find out what is, and you can champion that cause.
Men's Rights Activism is not a good idea that gets turned bad, it is simply a branch of antifeminism. You have to let it go.
