ALTEven “passing” trans men often experience misogyny. One doesn’t need to be non-passing to experience life-affecting misogyny as a trans man
Please kill the part of you that is convinced that trans men simply transition into all the benefits of cis men.
please don't assume that all transmasculine lesbians are detrans, terfs, or hate transfeminine people. my ex girlfriend (amab transfeminine) admitted to me that she was nervous getting into our relationship because i'm a trans male lesbian and she thought i would exclude transfemmes from lesbianism.
i have no idea why she thought that, because i called us lesbians and openly called myself a butch dyke, and acknowledged her womanhood from the get go. i was very much enjoying her womanhood- please don't get assumptions in your head about transmasculine lesbians, we are not all the violent stereotypes you see online, many of us just have complex relationships, and building unnecessary walls between similar and compatible identities is not the way to go about building a bridge to a healthy united lesbian community.
this is not what lesbianism is about. lesbianism is about acceptance in diverisity in identity, not standing with your hairs on end waiting for someone else to be a piece of shit. don't secretly think that every other lesbian is out to get you, it's not doing you any favors! trans male lesbians are not infiltrators, we are your lovers, friends, bedfellows, brothers, siblings, fathers, uncles, and more! we live here!

im really tired otherwise id write this myself (and maybe i will someday) but i would love to see more people pointing out that while jkr is a terf, her original manifesto is specifically about trans men&mascs and we need to stop taking terfs at face value when they say they want to "protect little girls"
Yeah. Trans men point it out, obviously, but everyone else seems to forcibly and intentionally downplay the transandrophobia of her original anti-trans manifesto, to the point where anyone even mentioning it gets told to shut up, and I’ve even heard people attempt to twist the words she is very clearly directing at trans men to somehow be about trans women. Which like. Just kinda shows you how hypervisibility and erasure work hand in hand.
If people are really going to assume that guys with long hair are gay and girls with short hair are lesbians then I am going to assume that all bald men are actually eagles.
Hey jumblr, new reaction meme for when you see an absolutely idiotic take about Judaism or antisemitism:

oh protect taylor swift is trending on twitter im diving in i need to know
Ah. I see. I'm pretty sure its exactly what I think it is.
Okay originally i was going to be like haha what's going on in this hashtag but this is kinda fucked up
like it was only a matter of time before it happened but that sucks like actually.
unironically sorry that this is what it takes for ai to be seen as largely problematic and I hope Swifties have the strength to maybe push for some kind of legislation around ai and generative content
@ Swifties you have my sword
Swifties this is the one time I support you as a whole rather than just my one friend specifically. Kill those guys.
I think we should write more straight relationships with 2010s TV queerbait tactics. Let that man and that woman's lives be horribly intertwined, let them take bullets for the other, let them be each other's meaning but NO KISSING. They are holding each other platonically. You're crazy for reading anything romantic into it at all tbh
i’ve been seeing a lot of transmascs get hate from anons who claim to be trans women recently and i just want to point out that this is most likely a TERF trying to divide our community and pitch transmascs and transfems against eachother. trans women are our family. transmascs are our family. don’t forget that
feminine and flamboyant trans men/mascs/boys i love you!!! i love you so much!!! ✨🎉💗💕💜💙🤎🏳🌈💟💛🧡🌈🦄💝😍🎀💚
i don't know why i have to say this, but it is antisemitic to obsessively stalk someone converting to judaism to try and find evidence of them being a zionist. you are not making multiple "masterposts" of out-of-context screenshots to make him look as bad as possible to call out real zionism or protect palestinians. instead, your actions are more indicative of your antisemitism and your willingness to harass people. and no, the converting person not being jewish doesn't make what you're doing any less antisemitic.
fite-club went on my less than 15 note post to give me 4 replies of telling me that transandrophobia doesn't exist. not surprising they're also an antisemite.
I must not respond to the bad take. Responding to the bad take is the mind-killer. Responding to the bad take is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face the bad take. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the bad take has gone there will be nothing. Only I (and my good takes) will remain.
if a post makes you feel guilty/frenzied/furious and provides no actionable steps, don’t reblog it.
people getting big mad about this because they read this as a call for censorship, or belittling their ‘activism’ (posting), or because they love guilt-tripping: get good, lmao.
This is true sometimes, but also sometimes you need to be able to figure out what actions you can and are willing to take for yourself. I can tell you what problem exists, it's up to you what you do with that information. It probably will be upsetting because the world is shit! I will often use my posts to educate people on various issues, and they probably will make you feel furious or frenzied, there might be a sense of urgency and panic, because the world is big and scary and some things are urgent. However, it is up to you to learn how to process information of the world around you, and learn how to decide what actions you want to take as a result of learning new info.
Do you need me to do all the work and tell you every single actionable step you can take? (Don't know how to do that when so much of organizing is local!)
Everyone is capable of and willing to do different types of activism, I don't have time to list out every form available, I can share info tho! It's up to you to do your research and don't go off a single post!
actually that helps nobody, thank you for illustrating OP's point
I figured out why this post bothered me so much. Because it's the white supremacy principle of the right to comfort. You think that if you're exposed to something that might make you feel uncomfortable, then the burden is on that person to make you comfortable by providing you with actionable steps on every single post, when in reality, almost every activist I know has posted multiple times what action steps you can take that you can go find or even ask the person directly about! But no, the burden is on the poster to soothe your feelings when you get uncomfortable. Yall don't appreciate the work that people put into spreading information. Do you expect every single post someone makes to always have actionable steps? When the actionable steps are often posted multiple times in multiple different places if you just look for yourself.
this is about purposeful attempts to trigger scrupulosity/completely unhelpful reblog bait.
Im sorry, but that's not how the post was worded. You said if a post makes you feel uncomfortable and doesn't immediately offer a solution so you don't have to feel those uncomfortable feelings then it should not be spread. The post says if you feel uncomfortable don't spread information, you must protect your right to comfort and your friends right to comfort but ignoring the fact that ignoring it is being complicit in violence. The very least you can do is bear witness to the atrocities being committed, especially if it's your country supporting it, and especially if you care about being fucking human. Bear witness, spread information, or don't because it'll make you feel bad while the violence continues unchecked.
i’m taking the word ‘complicity’ away until people understand what it means. also:
