You’re a grown man with the trauma of a little girl. ... I don’t mean that trans men cannot speak about the misogyny they experienced; it’s just now, most people will look at me and not see the layers of patriarchal violence I experienced. The song “Sweet Cis Teen” asks: Am I a boy or am I just my trauma? But all of my experiences did not magically disappear the moment(s) I realized I am a man, nor were they left behind. It was traumatic being a Chinese woman. I was spat at, harassed, fetishized, assaulted, told that my worth depended on others, my experience and abilities invalidated. My bodymind holds these memories and shapes itself with them, and I do not want to trivialize these memories because they continue to inform who I am and my politics.
this entire essay is worth a read, but the quotations I pulled out are the ones that strike me deeply, being the most relatable to my own FtM experience.

“Hello everyone, exciting news! T4T Caregiving is thrilled to announce the launch of our very first Surgery Caregiver Grant Cycle. This means that we will select one US-based individual to provide a fully-funded surgery caregiver for two weeks after their hospital discharge.
T4T Caregiving recognizes that the health disparities trans people face are further compounded by the intersections of racism and anti-Blackness. The 2015 US Trans Survey highlights that trans people who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color experience poverty and houselessness at significantly higher rates than white trans people or BIPOC cis people. Because of this, we have chosen to prioritize the Black, Indigenous, and People of Color community for our first T4T Surgery Caregiver Grant.
To apply for our first grant cycle, you must meet the following eligibility criteria:
1) You are a BIPOC transgender or nonbinary person
2) You do not have anyone in your life who can be your surgery caregiver and are unable to afford to hire a caregiver
3) You have a confirmed bottom surgery date (phalloplasty, metoidioplasty, or vaginoplasty) scheduled between January-March 2023 in the United States
4) You are 18 years or older
If you meet the above criteria, please use the link below to apply for a fully-funded surgery caregiver:
Applications will be open from now until Friday, October 14th, 2022.
If you do not qualify or do not receive this grant, please check back for future grant cycles, as our eligibility criteria will likely change. We hope to be able to continue offering this grant once every 6-12 months going forward, depending on availability of funds.
For more information about our services, please see our website: t4tcaregiving.org.
We are so excited to finally be able to offer this grant to the trans and nonbinary community. Our first T4T Surgery Caregiver Grant was funded and made possible by @start_the_wave, an incredible nonprofit organization that funds grassroots projects like ours. Please support them if you can!”

I’ve been seeing a lot of terfs deny the very clear link between trans exclusionism and nvzism/white supremacy simply because they do not understand the history behind it. ignorance is not a legitimate excuse to perpetuate systems of white supremacy. And it is further testament to the harm that banning critical race theory and queer studies in schools is doing to y’all’s brains. Because if I’m being completely honest, I’m seeing an alarming amount of self-identified terfs and radfems who are legit STILL IN HIGH SCHOOL. YOU ARE NOT WELCOME HERE. My blog is 18+, not for children, anyone under 18 gets immediately blocked. Anyway…
Transphobia and anti-blackness are historically linked and continue, to this day, to be overlapping forms of systemic oppression. Black trans women, specifically, have higher murder rates than any other group. Both trans and black people statistically face more medical discrimination than cis and white people, respectively. The combination of both of these marginalized identities forms a particular and very sinister intersection of oppression.
Not only do both of these systems of privilege work to uphold the social and structural power of cis people and white people.. biological essentialism and transphobia also, historically, were used to define the beliefs of white supremacy and race essentialism. Race essentialism is the false belief that it is “natural order” for whites to oppress other races. For centuries, white “philosophers” made up a whole list of pseudoscientific “reasons” WHY they believed racism was “natural”. One of them was the idea that “distinct and separate biological sexes were the mark of a more evolved race-“ meaning the white race.. they compared European patriarchal sex roles and gender roles to the matriarchal cultures and gender variance that they observed in communities of color.
I have seen terfs accuse people who bring up this historical fact of “masculinizing” black women and women of color, which is a very real issue, but in this case and with historical context, that is a misunderstanding and most of the time is being said by people who want to silence trans people and shut down any criticism of terfism.
Acknowledging the thousands of years of acceptance of gender variance and third/fourth gender categories within pre-colonial African, Indigenous, Latin, Asian, & Middle eastern cultures, is not to blame for the masculinization of women of color, and as a matter of fact: the invention and enforcement of Eurocentric gender roles REQUIRES and RELIES on the masculinization of women of color in order to uphold white women’s place within white supremist systems as the “ideal of femininity” that they can then weaponize against women of color when they do not adhere to those Eurocentric standards.
During times of enslavement and segregation, black women were forced, legally and socially, to conform to very strict Eurocentric femininity standards in order to avoid harassment and violence, and if they deviated from these norms and codes they were dehumanized, masculinized, and were “made into examples” of white femininity being “superior”. Gender roles and biological essentialism do not exist in a vacuum outside of the white supremist systems that they were created within and invented to maintain. To imply that all women share the same experiences within these systems is akin to saying “I don’t see color”.. it’s denying the lived experiences of people of color.
Most gays are familiar with the symbol of the pink triangle, the badge worn by LGBT victims of ww2 concentration camps, but the transgender victims are often overlooked..
“Hitler’s Nazi government, however, brutally targeted the trans community, deporting many trans people to concentration camps and wiping out vibrant community structures.” - Museum of Jewish Heritage.
The US holocaust memorial museum that holds remembrance vigils for the victims persecuted by the nazis, under the Obama administration, included both gay men and transgender people in their list of victims. However, under the Trump administration this was changed to only include gay men. When asked about this change one of the museum’s head curators responded that because trans people were viewed by the nazis as indistinguishable from gay men that they are “included” with the definition. This is an obvious cop-out. The other reason that they gave was that the term “transgender” was only officially coined in the 1980’s, despite the thriving population of German trans people and gender-nonconforming subcultures that pre-date the nazi control of Germany.
Ancient Judaism recognizes at least six (6) distinct sex categories and gender roles, our women fulfilling “traditionally masculine” roles and vice versa.. this is a direct threat and opposition to nazism which relies on Eurocentric patriarchal gender roles. White women serve one purpose within nazi ranks: BIOLOGICAL incubators for white babies. If you don’t have 1) European genetic material 2) biological capabilities of reproduction (vagina, womb, mammaries) to be exploited for domestic labor, you are not considered a “true” woman by nazis. “Woman” being defined within nazism by biological, reproductive traits is so eerily similar to terf’s definition of woman that the only explanation for still perpetuating these ideas that I can think of, other than apathy or being full blown nazis, would be ignorance and historical illiteracy. The systemic eradication and erasure of trans and gender-nonconforming people by the nazi party was essential in maintaining these standards at a structural level, as well as the reinforcement of these false beliefs within popular culture. In order to maintain that false image of “dominance” “supremacy”, they had to invent a subclass that was then deemed “inferior” by their own standards.
When trans people of color and trans Jews are explicitly telling y’all that the harmful rhetoric you spread about trans people has DIRECT historical links to white supremacy and nazism, and (whether intentionally or unintentionally) upholds these systems that are killing us, it’s not your place to dig your heels into the ground and come up with excuses. It’s your place to listen and reevaluate your views.

“I work with BTAC (Black Trans Advocacy Coalition) and do a lot of work for our subgroup BTMI (Black Transmen Inc.) We have a lot of dope resources to offer to the community and I just wanted to share them with y'all.
For starters, we have lots of grant programs! We have a Binder grant where we'll hook you up with a binder if you don't have one. You can find more info on how to apply for that grant here: https://blacktransmen.org/binder-program
We also can hook you up with a packer and/or an STP device if ya need one. You can find more info on how to apply for those items here: https://blacktransmen.org/health-grant-products/
Finally, we have a top surgery fund grant! We've awarded up to $1,000 bucks before to guys getting top surgery. There are a couple requirements for this one though. You have to be in the US. Have to be 18 or older, and you also must already have approval for surgery from your chosen surgeon. You can find more info on how to apply for that here: https://blacktransmen.org/top-surgery-grant/
We also have some dope virtual resources! Every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month, we host a virtual support group/space called Akanni. This is for all and any Black trans dudes. More info on that call and how to join them here: https://blacktransmen.org/akanni-mens-support-group
Lastly, we got a mentorship program and are currently taking applications for Empowerhim guides (mentors) and mentees! More info here: https://blacktransmen.org/akanni-mentoring
Hope that was helpful!”
