I Appreciate The Seed Bombing Of Public Spaces As A Form Of Environmentalism As Long As You're Using

someone should make one of those PSA style posts about "not adopting trendy pets that you can't commit to taking care of and eventually throwing them away" but about entering relationships with love-starved trans girls

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

"social media keeps you confined to your echo chamber" i WISH it did i wish all platforms i am on were keeping me in this perfect echo chamber where i only see the opinions of other communist transfeminists and youtube was constantly recommending me videos about how awesome HRT is instead theyre all working together to try to turn me into a fascist

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

Found a bunch of booklets from a transfeminist conference I helped organize in 2015 and I love how this panel is still just as relevant a decade later lmao

PLEASE TELL ME I DIDN'T GET SHADOWBANNED. WAILING. PLEASE TUMBLR

Ice cold takes from a Transgender Woman:

Not all Men are evil

Everyone has the capacity for evil

Transgender Men are men

Transgender Women are women

Excluding Cisgender Men from your spaces requires Transgender Men to out themselves if they want to engage (Same for Women)

Anyone can be Non-Binary, there is no "look" or requirement

Non-binary masculine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces, many are just treated as men and predators

Non-binary feminine presenting people should be welcome in queer spaces without being seen as "Woman-Lite"

so Trump being a felon isn't actually the problem. you guys understand this right. it's the thing he did that got him charged with a felony that is upsetting, not the fact that he is technically a criminal. felons are not inherently worse people than non-felons. becoming a felon did not make him any less qualified than he already was. there are a quite lot of felons who would do a much better job at being president than Trump

it/its as in a concept so abstract you couldn't begin to personify it
