genderkoolaid:

being both a trans man and nonbinary is kind of hellish bc you’ll have people who go “omg yes they/them genderfuck nonbinary slut!!! we love breaking the binary!!!” and then turn around and call the other half of your identity gross and disgusting. girlies sorry to break it to you im also a man. you can’t just break parts off parts of my identity to fetishize lol

hot take i think we should start representing trans people at different stages in their transitions instead of just slapping top surgery on some guy and calling it a day

like y’all can’t say to stop associating bodies with certain genders and then continue to only draw trans people with the most cis passing body types possible

[ ID: tweet by @/synthesighs reading, “i’m not T4T because it’s “simpler” or “safer” i’m T4T because trans people are hot” ]

carfuckerlynch:

being hot isn’t about having a symmetrical face or being skinny or whatever. being hot is about being TRANSSEXUAL, having BAD JOINTS, making BAGELS, and wearing WEIRD CLOTHES

white people are gonna think im being dramatic or whatever but the aggressive white centricism and lack of intersectionailty within the trans “community” almost makes me wish i wasnt trans at all lmao and im not alone in this either ive had this conversation with other trans poc, most of whom are not white passing either so this effects them even more than it effects me, like when it gets to the point of poc resenting their transness, maybe you as a white trans person need to start deconstructing your privelege and views on race even if you think you are completely intersectional, you may not even know youre doing it because it is so ingrained in yall from day one

TERFs really out here thinking that male privilege comes from like. The overwhelming aura of the penis and being told not to wear skirts as a kid, and not the fact that manhood is an in-group that trans women are absolutely stricken from.

Male privilege comes from men in power treating me with respect and, well, privilege. And sweetie, that’s not something that happens once they catch the scent of tranny on me. I am not going to be hired before a cis woman. I am not going to be allowed to talk over men, god forbid cis women. I am not going to get a “boys will be boys” if I hurt someone, because the minute I challenged my own manhood I turned in that “boy” card.

Maybe I do act “manly” sometimes. Let’s assume that for argument. The fact is, even if I did that, I do not have patriarchy backing me up; I’m just a not-man not-woman that no one will defend if I step out of line.

Funny thing about this post is a couple of TERFs got their hands on it and apparently the best argument they can come up with is “You fucking moron, work discrimination and sexual harassment isn’t sexism, REAL sexism is seat belts and doorknob heights.”

To be clear, I am certain that they don’t actually believe that sexual harassment doesn’t matter but doorknob heights do, they’re just consciously trying to define feminism in such a way as to exclude trans women which results in them focusing on either stuff that has specifically to do with vaginas (which to be clear our society has a ton of issues to do with ppl with vaginas, but that’s only one facet of feminism) or grasping at straws to assign the highest importance to skeletal structure.

One of them in the notes even slipped up and blamed office thermometers on “xy skeletal structures” which is like. First of all that skeletal structure is associated with testosterone during puberty, second of all bone structure??? You genuinely believe it has to do with bone structure and not hormones and body fat distribution? They don’t, of course, but they know that’s something that trans women have in common with cis women so their ideology of “you can’t change biology” requires that they pretend it doesnt exist.

It’s just so clear as to be comical that TERFs define what feminist issues they do and do not care about by whether or not they can be used to draw a line between them and trans women.

Trans Tolkien Blog Recommendations

ALT

By popular request, I am putting together a list of anyone who:

• isany gender (trans or cis)
• makes or reblogs trans tolkien content
• is a safe blogger for trans fans
• makes a good-faith effort to keep transphobes off their blogs

To join, the sole requirement is that you do not allow transphobes. Take a quick look at new followers, block transphobes when you encounter them, listen to trans folks when we say something is transphobic. This is non-negotiable: trans tolkien fans are the audience for this list, and transphobe-free spaces are the priority.

Note: I’ll update this, the original post, with new additions. If you want to reblog it, do so from the original to get the most current one.

There is a thread

[image description: a series of tweets from Cliff Jerrison @ pervocracy dated 24th of March. The tweets read:

if your child doesn’t come out until they’ve moved out and have a strong non-family support system

they didn’t JUST become trans ya dingdong

they just became safe from you

and I hope you feel every bit of what that means

and if your child starts HRT or gets a surgery date the day after they come out to you,

no, they didn’t start medical transition on day one

it’s day several hundred and you’re the last to know

(media should REALLY stop taking parents’ word on this particular point)

(sorry if this is a little unfair to parents of people who transitioned later in life for other reasons and do have a decent relationship, but if you are one of those you already know it instead of having a giant grudge around “my child didn’t even give me a CHANCE to stop them”)

All my love to the people replying to this with your stories, and – please don’t feel guilty. You do not owe your parents a trust they did not earn. You deserve, and did as a child, to be seen and loved as yourself. [heart emoji]

once again I must scream to the heavens that a lot of parents fucking suck and choosing not to come out to them until you near the point where you physically can’t hide your transition is not “suddenly becoming trans”, it is basic self-defense

“mom, I think I might be transgender, but I’m not sure, can you help me work through my feelings” - something that in some families is a reasonable request, and in others you might as well pour barbecue sauce down your shirt and climb in a tiger cage

End image description.]

…maybe the biggest problem is the fact that you already wanted to stop them and that’s why you found out last

trans friend groups are so funny because everyone’s names make them sound like the most regular person you’ll ever meet or an evil wizard and there’s no inbetween

trans friend groups be like this is james and amy and this is xythan and bermuda triangle (we call them B.T. for short)

there are only two genders: “i just want a normal name that fits me” and “if you’re going to change your name anyway, why on earth would you NOT change it to Captain Neptuna Fortuna Vacuuma III?”

I designed this clone for Queen’s Hope. @uzuriartonline​ did the commission.

Her name is Sister, because her brothers wanted to make sure everyone knew that she belonged.

Sister doesn’t have a huge part in the book, so we didn’t want to use her existence as promo. I made her to be shared, not just with readers, but with other SW writers as well.

(ps she’s functionally immortal. plot armour that makes darth maul look like a pushover.)

florizels:

Transgender women are portrayed as deceivers so that rabid heterosexuals can turn a blind eye to the transsexual porn ads that litter the back of men’s magazines like Hustler and Penthouse, so that mainstream moviegoers can watch The Crying Game and act surprised to find out that the woman who performs in the drag bar happens to have a penis. “Deception” is the scarlet letter that trans people are made to wear so that everybody else can claim innocence.
