HOW TO TELL WHEN A POLL IS RIGGED and NOT IN GOOD FAITH
Notice how the poll asks if it's real, period, rather than asking if the reader thinks it is. Or how the oppressor seems to have a voice in deciding whether or not there is oppression against a minority 🚩🚩🚩
Tumblr media
Pollists will block anyone who disagrees, most especially those who engage in good faith, even educating others about the fundamentals of a concept that were being ignored. It's very easy to get the results you want when you block everyone who disagrees, and it's only reblogged into other radicalist spaces
Tumblr media
Image ID: a post captioned "how to immediately know when to block somebody", there is a screenshot of multiple posts that have been filtered due to the transandrophobia tag, which is suggesting minorities discussing their oppression is how you immediately know to block them.
It's easiest to tell when exploring other aspects of the account, where a bias is a lot easier to see. Upon checking, we find an admittance to ignoring oppression. The bias against minorities is obvious when you see posts discussing are not allowed to even appear on the feed
Tumblr media
Going out of your way to misgender another trans person. Add a pinch of ableism too.
"A lot of the things people say is misandry is just an expression of misandry" doesn't make sense. "A lot of the things people say is misandry is just an expression of misogyny" doesn't really make sense either! It's not "pretty clear" and it's weird you assume my lack of telepathy is me "not even willing to try".
Tumblr media
This is a bit ironic. Mansplaning is about condescension, assuming a woman lacks understanding while patronizingly explaining something. It does not apply when one can plainly see there is an assertion that is incorrect, there is no assumption. You know, calmly explaining the facts. The account I responded to doesn't have any gender named from what I can see, you're just assuming they're a woman just like you assumed I was a man when you misgendered me.
I know it's a common belief for white women to think that misogyny is the root of all oppression, but radfems are wrong and their beliefs support white supremacy

inspired by a post i saw on the dash:
shots fired to keep rent low: all cops are bastards, free palestine, all the queers can say all the queer slurs, transandrophobia is real, sex work is real work, landlords and every other middleman job is just parasitism, capitalism should die a bloody death, gender affirming care for everyone, felons should be allowed to vote, prison and pysch abolition are awesome (& slavery was never outlawed, just obfuscated), harm mitigation for addicts of any kind is key, all illegal drugs should be legalized...
i will add more i swear to god

Holding up a 2000 person poll as proof that transmascs shouldn’t speak about the ways our masculinity is intrinsically tied to our oppression and can compound with it in complex ways that aren’t just “gives more privilege” (ie. intersectionality) is sad, actually.
Good job. You’ve found an audience of people who also want an oppressed minority to stop talking about their intersectional experience. Do you want a round of applause? Do you think you deserve a prize? Do you think you’ve made a point other than that your following (and following-in-law) mostly agree with you?
Like. I don’t know. Anyone who’s cultivated a like-minded following could make a poll like that with similar results about pretty much anything. A transmisogynist could do the exact same thing and I’d bet the person who made the “is transandrophobia real?” poll could see how the results of that poll are extremely biased and not indicative of anything except an audience who agrees. But hey. If it confirms your right biases it’s right, if it confirms someone else’s wrong biases it’s wrong, even if the methodology was the same, I guess, because…….. ???
So yeah. Anyone worried about someone having made a poll? Don’t be. All that poll does is show the demographics around the person who made it. Well, and generate an ego boost for “being right”. It sucks, it shows how many people will glom onto someone because it’s trendy to hate on a particular queer group (if polls were a thing back during ace discourse this particular blogger would’ve made a similar one back then about cishet aces (we’ve all been saying this shit is recycled but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)), but the best thing to do is block, move on, and raise awareness about why that thing was bullshit. It’s unfortunately the only way these “discourses” “stop”. You just push through reminding yourself that these are a noisy minority of the community and raising awareness of bigotry.

Hey one of your reblogs is from Plaidos, a racist white trans woman (she's especially dangerous to Latinx women). Can your blog please not give a platform to problematic people just because they're trans and hate terfs?
Yes, I’ll delete it. Next time we reblog from someone who we shouldn’t be supporting (which idk when that’ll even happen, I know I’m not active here), can you please just let us know without acting like we did so intentionally? The mods don’t know everything about every single tumblr user. I’m glad you let me know, I’d rather know, but I swear I wouldn’t reblog from a racist or otherwise bigoted person intentionally.

Plaidos for your free antiblack racist and transmisic blocklist. Claims people just manufacture racism allegations to be transmisic, and hates trans men. Mark red in shinigami eyes.

This document was made to be a timeline / debunking of the callout against me ( neotrances / ardourie ) by user zebrayopn3 and a rundown of the recent homestuck poll drama with user plaidos, all the information stated here are things i’ve already posted on my blog, this is just a more convenient way to access that information and to combat the frequent harassment i’ve been receiving for speaking out about antiblackness
please donot send this to anyone who did not specifically ask to view it, donot send this to anyones inbox and donot spam anyone with this, if you decide to reblog this let that be it, if you have questions regarding proof about anything mentioned please direct them to this account, thankyou

I feel like bigender transfemasc really gets me. I'm a woman and a man, I'm a trans man and a trans woman. All the love to the cis-non binary multigender folks out there too. But when I say I'm a woman also, it's never in the cis way, and it never was.

I already have to deal with the racist white people of the trans community who think it's okay to be a bigot towards their own people, and too many black queers are suffering with the consequences of white superiority in a community that was supposed to help them -
so if you could not say transandrophobia is "made up", and recognize that it is highly possible that poc and non-perisex transmascs deal with it more than your white ass, yeah... I think... I think you'd realize that skinny white people who get on HRT or socially pass easier areeee a lor more privleged, and in this case, decide that transandrophobia is not real because they've never experienced it. Which is not... not even like... what?
If you could not do that and not speak from privlege of not being targeted, yeah tha would be nice. Too many trans men have died this year due to violence for you to be acting this way.
sure wish people on the internet could talk about transmasc people like actual human beings who wake up every day and live in a world that wants us fucking dead but yeah all the jokes about being the weakest link in the trans community or how disgusting and unappealing our bodies are are sooooo funny. and it’s so important to keep policing our appearance and how we discuss our real lived experience with transphobia and misogyny incase we don’t accidentally say or do something exactly like a cis man would. but also keep making sure that we’re soft and cute and quiet and hairless because we don’t want to be too gross and yucky like those real men i mean—fuck

This. A lot of us have these urges, and while human society tells many of us to silence them and to ignore them, sometimes they come out too harshly at people we don't mean to hurt.
Sometimes, I prick people. Not on purpose, but at times they get too close to me when I have bottled up everything from the days before. I can't help feeling relieved when I do release that energy, even when it's towards someone I don't mean to hurt.
Do my urges make me a bad plant? One worthy of being shouted at, or thrown away? No. I don't think it should. I don't mean to hurt people, and actively try not to. It's the reason why I am in recovery for my mental illness. But that doesn't mean I automatically because nicer or easier for others to comprehend.
But I know that, online, especially in physical nonhuman spaces where we're all understanding.. I can share these feelings truthfully. I can feel my body relax the moment I start indulging in these violent behaviors without hurting myself or others. I put them into making art, digging holes, breaking cardboard or wood - I go outside and sunbathe or take naps. I try my best not to hurt people, not for the sake of others, but for my own mental health. I don't want to doubt whether or not I am good, so I must be good to myself and others. That, to me is the only way I can be sure of my own happiness.
I hope you can find something similar to indulge in, and reassure yourself that these urges and these thoughts do not make you bad. That wanting to do these things doesn't make you less worthy of being good. You are you. And if you wouldn't describe yourself to someone new as being "violent and angry", don't ascribe those labels to yourself knowing that it isn't who you are all the time. Especially if you don't like it. Be safe.
i don't like dealing with violent urges that my anger brings. i hate feeling the urges to rip and tear and maul. idk what to do with these feelings. idk where to put them. I snarl and bear my teeth at no one. im so angry. im so afraid of expressing these feelings.
im a good coyote I swear.
my anger is just too big for my body. i don't even know if this anger is my own.

These are just some desktop wallpapers I made from the bigender flag (the one I use anyway). I might do some more of this flag or some more of other flags later.
(I don't own the original images I just coloured over them all original credit goes to pixabay). (Also I did leave the ship in the second one the same purely because I don't know what to do with it if you have any ideas please say).

now more than ever it's blatantly obvious that people go out of their way to erase trans men from communities and queer history. it's always been happening, but it's way easier to watch it in real time now thanks to the internet and social media. we are watching people basically gloating that they misgender trans men and don't see them as men. we are now watching people kick trans men out of queer spaces because they are often "femme and them" or "nonbinary and woman" support groups, conflating nonbinary identities with womanhood, and denying trans men or transmasc nonbinary people places to go. many of them get told that their presence would "scare" the lesbians, women and enbies because they have trauma.
where do the trans men with trauma go, though? we can't go anywhere. when i was struggling with domestic violence that ended up destroying my right leg, i was denied shelter in queer spaces and even women's spaces even though i have F on license. domestic violence shelters especially will turn trans men away if we pass. even if we partially identify as women, we can't go in because 'our voices are deep and scary and we're loud and aggressive and threatening and might prey on the defenseless scared women'
finding transmasc support groups is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. i've seen numerous organizations across the US have transfemme support groups, nonbinary/genderqueer support groups, and then nothing for transmascs. where the hell do we go when they won't let us go anywhere?
we try to exist online and they try to erase us from here, too. bickering and arguing about how we're not real men, sending trans men death and sexual assault threats, acting like they're saviors for kicking out the "dangerous ugly men" from the queer community, as if we don't belong to it at all.
i refuse to be erased. i refuse to sit in silence while people tell me my problems don't matter because now i "have male privilege". I don't. once people find out what my legal name is they view me as a woman. strangers however view me as a cis man and will deny me help, either through programs, or because i'm a "strong young man, i should be able to pick myself up by my boot straps." i'm not white. i'm not abled.
i'm proud to be a trans man and i will be here to fight for other trans men's rights to have a platform to speak, and spaces to occupy. i will not rest until trans men & mascs have safe places to be and meet other trans men.
trans men are queer. we belong here. we are taking up the space we rightfully deserve and we are not leaving.

why do you hate transmascs/ trans men who experience misogyny because of androphobia in both the trans community, and cishetnormative society
why do your tags imply that multigender transmascs, and other trans men aren't inherently experiencing transandrophobia by having our reproductive care restricted because of our manhood
why do you think transandrophobia is a made up term despite it being a component of feminism as men being harmed by patriarchy, especially queer men
sure wish people on the internet could talk about transmasc people like actual human beings who wake up every day and live in a world that wants us fucking dead but yeah all the jokes about being the weakest link in the trans community or how disgusting and unappealing our bodies are are sooooo funny. and it’s so important to keep policing our appearance and how we discuss our real lived experience with transphobia and misogyny incase we don’t accidentally say or do something exactly like a cis man would. but also keep making sure that we’re soft and cute and quiet and hairless because we don’t want to be too gross and yucky like those real men i mean—fuck

I know the post is old but I just want to say I saw your old post about how queer spaces hate masculinity, which I agree with, but would also like to point out that they hate masculinity UNLESS it's a butch lesbian. Then suddenly it's "empowering" and "brave". (Nothing against butch lesbians tho just an example) It seems like the only people who are allowed to show any form of masculine traits are those who are already assigned femininity by default. It's as if people who identify as woman are seen as a sort of safe preset that can be altered and changed so long as they still call themselves woman. But as SOON as someone tries to distance themselves from wanting to be a woman there's a weird flip that makes people turn on us. As if NOT being any form of woman is somehow "wrong". Idk just my thoughts
I mean, not really. It's like that meme about 'this is the butchest woman twitter can handle' and it's just Taylor Swift in a flannel.
I've seen plenty of butch women talk about being ostracized from queer spaces for being too masculine or being masculine in the wrong way. Especially butch trans women and butch women of color.
Like, I get where you're coming from, and I've seen that too, but it's very much a situation where masculinity is tolerated as long as it's 'non-threatening' and what's considered 'non-threatening' can change at any moment. The exact same arguments about trans men being toxic for 'choosing masculinity' have been made against butch women, too.
