#trans discourse
Text
Anti-transmasc posts all are basically like "this policy created by radfems is transmisogynistic and the trans guys are responsible". Like no? I don't support afab only housing nor does any transmasc I know.
Transmisogyny is definitely a problem. No one should denies that. Transmascs aren't responsible for transmisogyny. Transmascs and transfems face different problems. There is no one trans experience. No one transmasc, transfem, or enby experience. Brianna Wu is more privileged than pretty much every trans person I know. Her privilege isn't universal.
I'm transmasc but I'm queer and disabled. My experience isn't universal. Some transmacs might have it worse than me. Some have it easier. I can't definitively say all transmascs are privileged when I know it isn't true. There are shitty transmascs, but please don't group me in with someone like Buck Angel who would call me a transtrender for having long hair.

can we stop the belief that terfs hate transfems exclusively or like more than they hate cisgender men or transmascs and pretending it's just the trans women's battle against them and you're allies for them or whatever. this literally undermines how much harm theyre doing both to the trans community as a whole and even to the people (cis women) they claim to be protecting. terfs hate trans men just as much as trans women, transmascs arent safe because terfs view them as "uwu confused girlies trying to escape oppression", that is a very narrow worldview and inherently transphobic itself (it excludes butches, transmascs who's medically transitioned, intersex people, etc. etc.)
transfems arent more oppressed by terfs than any other people theyre oppressing, please understand this. Im so sick and tired of people undermining my transmasc siblings when it comes to harassment from terfs because "well you arent a target to them", why are they harassing them then????
I just geniuenly dont like how the queer community can claim to be transmasc friendly and then view transmascs the same way transphobes view them (again, uwu girlies who are tricked into ruining their feminine beauty, they dont know anything and how lucky they are). feels both andromisic and misogynistic at the same time on top of transmisic idk how the fuck you manage to fuck up that badly
tldr: stop pretending transmascs arent affected by terfs nearly as much as transfems
anyone can reblog, except terfs of course they can fuck off
transfem is used as a way to refer to "TMA"/"AMAB" trans people
transmasc is used as a way to refer to "TME"/"AFAB" trans people
I know the definition is a bit more fluid now so I just wanted to note that

What I really can’t understand about all this “who has it worse, transfemmes or transmascs” and “transmisogyny vs transandrophobia” discourse is why we can’t reject these binaries. We’re the trans community, folks, aren’t we all about breaking binaries?
Transmascs and transfemmes BOTH face oppression. That oppression works in different ways. It is DEEPLY USELESS to fight over who has it “worse” because both of these types of oppression are complex and depend on the individual situation. And y’all are seriously spending your time on fighting each other and invalidating people’s experiences instead of fighting against the oppression itself??? That says something to me about where your priorities are.
I have no respect for anyone with this mindset.

The amount of misinformation about transition that exists, even from people who are transitioning is troubling to me because there's been several times I've been told stuff that's turned out not to be true and I'd previously not pursued parts of transition as a result.
HRT will change your bones! And everything!
Voice training takes time but it works!
Your feet will likely change shape!
Enough laser hair removal will be permanent!
There's many other myths I've heard but then spoken to people who have read academic papers on chemistry and frankly the news is good! Rumours and Myth about transition are unfounded, negative, and likely designed to discourage us!

I’m confused - do you think radfems are just as bad as TERFs?
In my opinion, there is no meaningful distinction between radical feminists and trans exclusionary radical feminism.
I believe that all radical feminism is inherently trans exclusionary—radical feminism that is wholeheartedly accepting of trans women is hostile towards trans men and vice versa, and radical feminism that claims to be accepting of both is hostile towards nonbinary people.
Radical feminism is an ideology built on the premise that women must have spaces where they can segregate themselves from men for their own safety and well-being. The only difference distinguishing offshoots of radfem ideology is how they define ‘men’—aka, who is part of the group they aim to exclude from their safe spaces.
Some include trans women in their definition of men, others trans men. Those who claim to include both still don’t entertain the notion that men of color and otherwise marginalized men can suffer under the patriarchy without reaping the same benefits as their privileged counterparts as long as they’re cis.
So no, I’m not a fan of any type of radical feminism, no matter how inclusive some claim to be.

Why Are Queer People So Mean To Each Other?
Really good article exploring our tendency as a community to ostracise, condemn and bully each other. And also what we can do better 🐌🐛

Queer multigender culture is hating "non men loving non men" and "non women loving non women" being treated like the Good Inclusive Definitions for Nonbinary People for gay and lesbian because you know they'll never include you, as a nonbinary person, because you're NOT a non man or non woman.

You need to come to terms with the fact that there is nothing that makes men and women inherently different. Nothing. There is not a single characteristic that you can point to and say “yes that is a man thing and no woman does it” because there will always be exceptions, and a lot more of them than you think. Any time you try to separate the two (say for example in a discussion about reproductive rights) you exclude cis women with physical differences, trans women, intersex women, and yes even men who belong in the discussion as well.
There are boys that “look like” girls, girls that “look like” boys, non-binary people that look like one or both, and people who do fit in the gender binary but look like neither. There are girls that are also sometimes boys and vice versa. There are people whose gender fluctuates a lot and yet never lands on “man” or “woman” at all.
There is no separation of gender beyond what you as your own person decide your own gender is (and if you don’t want to decide that’s perfectly fine too). The more you accept that, the less you’ll police others’ identities and expressions, the more accepting you will become, and the better for it.

The hatesub r/systemscringe are being full-on transphobes again!
Reminder: a huge number of systems have alters and headmates with completely different genders and sexes from the body.
Anyone who has ever studied any type of multiplicity is aware of this fact.
And not-so-shockingly, this makes gender complicated.
Let's just see the screenshots they're angry at today.
So the body has transitioned to male but this one headmate identifies as female and identifies as a trans woman.
In another screenshot, the system says they aren't "invading trans spaces." Which is such an absurd thing to have to defend yourselves from accusations of when you're a part of a trans system.
Even if you do take the position that spaces for transwomen should be exclusionary AFAB people, one would at least expect the male headmates to be able to feel safe in the trans community without being made to feel like they're "invaders."
Unfortunately, many pluralphobes and queer exclusionists have decided the gender identity of headmates in systems is less valid than that of singlets.
This is another pretty common thing. Especially with introjects who have source memories. It's common to have memories of lives you may not have actually lived but still feel pretty real.
I did a Tumblr poll last year. About half of systems responding had at least one trans headmate with the same gender as the body's AGAB. Nearly all had cis headmates with the opposite gender of the body.
Of course, if you heard it from r/systemscringe, they must be faking being trans entirely!
And takes like this throw not just systems under the bus, but also people who are genderfluid or otherwise nonbinary as well.
And if you're thinking, "wow, that comment sounds like something truscum would say," you aren't wrong!
Here are some unrelated posts this same user has authored:
Back to r/systemscringe, most of the comments were more of the same, stopping just short of calling them transtrenders but clearly very much wanting to!
By the way, all the censors on the names of the system and alters were mine. u/superthrowawayEEE censored nothing. When a user points this out, moderator u/DizkoLites says they considered taking it down but chose not to, saying their name was common enough that it wouldn't matter.
To be fair, the mods did end up taking it down... after the system got harassed for their gender and contacted the subreddit directly.
So congrats on waiting until after the harassment to enforce your own rules!
But don't worry, you're free to make a brand new post mocking someone for their gender identity! r/systemscringe's mod team is totally cool with that! Just gotta hide the name because that's apparently the only problem here!🙄
(You know, unless they're on the mod-approved hit list. Then you can name them too no matter how much harassment they get.)
The other day, someone asked this question on the hatesub:
Here's the answer:
Stop being bigots.
Stop being ableists.
Stop spreading misinformation.
Stop mocking people for their genders.
Stop harboring truscum and parroting transphobic talking points!
Try to be decent human beings for once in your lives!
And then... well, I guess that wouldn't leave much of a subreddit would it? There's no r/systemscringe without ableism, transphobia and queer exclusionism. It's baked into the DNA of these groups.
But maybe that would be for the best.
Nothing from these cringe communities is salvageable. And nothing should be socially acceptable about groups founded on cyberbullying.

maybe if you stop harrassing transpeople maybe people won't hate you as much! :)
ironic to send this on anon like a coward and thus contribute to the nonstop harassment radfems get just for being feminists, while in fact I've never harassed a trans person - or any person - in my entire life (I've never even sent an ask on anon before!), only been harassed while minding my own business. yall NEVER stop harassing feminists even when we aren't even talking about you. funny how i got this at the same time as this other anon. this you harassing me or just a fascinating coincidence?
my feminism isn't even focused on the gender identity ideology (GII) discourse, my primary focuses are helping women escape abusive relationships and heal from them, fighting for women preyed on by the sex industry (including intervening in situations of attempted trafficking), forging feminist networks to get access to abortion to every single woman/girl possible no matter which state they live in (hopefully internationally someday too), lesbian liberation, un-erasing women's history as much as possible, consciousness raising & building female class solidarity, female separatism & making more women aware that it's a thing & doesnt just mean moving to women's land, and much more. the fight of feminism vs GII is soooo far down my list of priorities, and has never once led me to harass any human.
in fact, I've ALSO done way more irl direct action for trans people than any of yall who harass me on here - probably more than all of you combined. check the link in my pinned post for more on this actually here you go, I'll make it easy for you. I have done and still do a LOT for trans people in need. I am more beneficial to trans wellbeing than you internet slacktivists who harass me and call me a transphobic bigot. get off your ass and try doing even a tiny fraction of the work I've done for trans people, you pathetic, cowardly hypocrite. lmfao

As a younger trans man online (although older trans men are not entirely exempt from this), you have to be extremely careful about the personal struggles that you do and don't share, and how you share things, because many types of transandrophobes will take everything you say in bad faith and attempt to use your own feelings of self-doubt against you.
TERFs and TEHMs will go on your personal posts and constantly shift the goalposts. They expect you to live up to an impossible standard of your own ideals, and trying too hard to prove that you're Really a Man is going to cause you to fall into toxic thought patterns regarding the trans community. And if you manage to avoid the radfems and the TEHMs, the transmed community is going to look very appealing. I'm experiencing all this pain and suffering, you think to yourself, and I must be alone in this. Others who say they are experiencing this pain are lying.
There will be a metaphorical voice in your head that says that you need to prove yourself to be A Real Man by adopting toxic masculinity. This is the voice of the devil. Do not listen to it. Find commonalities between your experience and the experiences of trans people who are not like you in some way or another.
And maybe the exclusionists get to you. They'll tell you about how you're an evil m*n gender traitor, and how you must make up for this by either identifying as a non-man or being transandrophobic to the cuntboys who don't accept their place. And if you're bisexual, you'll likely develop internalized biphobia that tells you that men need women in their lives to be good people, and that you must date women only—if you date an evil awful m*n, you'll be an incel faggot who hates women so much you won't even date one.
Point being, people will use your personal gender feelings against you, and it is your responsibility to not let that happen.
Openly challenge radfem, transmed, and exclus beliefs. (And before you piss on the poor, I am not trying to imply that those beliefs are equal in harmfulness. They are grouped together not because they are of equal weight, but because they are all groups that prey on young, vulnerable trans men.) Listen to the experiences of people who have been harmed by beliefs that you are vulnerable to being sucked into. And remember:
You are not immune to propaganda.
