>you don't need HRT to transition This is borderline malicious advice. Good luck retaining any resemblance of femininity past your 20s, as your face and body get further masculinized by testosterone. This is just the woke version of TERFs' "teehee just wear dresses! boys can be feminine!"

Theyfabs truly cannot grasp the idea that dysphoria exists. To them, everything is about social constructs >teehee no one would want FFS or HRT in my utopian queerfeminist society. >you're only allowed to want FFS for the purpose of feeling physically safer

im honestly so pissed about this. like yeah if you're a cis woman you also exist in the same world lmao, we get it. now stop fucking cussing us out for talking about how being violently forced through the wrong puberty is not the same as being tall and having a deeper head voice

The web's lesson isn't "we need better rules". It's "we need protocols that enforce their own properties". Code is the enforcement mechanism. Regulation is the capture mechanism.

Never forget that states' interest in tech stacks do not align with yours and states closer to you are typically a greater threat than distant ones

Focusing on HRT access, DIY, and material conditions rather than validity and inclusivity is paramount imo, we need to make being trans *mean* something again

What’s transmisogynistic is the “crab bucket” internalized transphobia mentality that leads some to try to tear down any trans woman with even an iota of success in a way that would never be directed at cis people

idk if baeddel is gonna stick but trans women have very specific social/biological forces acting on us and frankly the trans movement has been hijacked by cissexual women trying on labels like bad hair dye We need a separate baeddel movement or we need to just on from the rest of the 🌈

Another issue that happens that doesn’t get talked about is that transsexuals with dysphoria end up in places like /tttt/ and similar spaces because they are routinely pushed out and abandoned by mainstream trans spaces

There's also a lot of frustration with the trans community's ineffectiveness at advocating for itself and leaving transsexuals/dysphorics behind but I guess finding ways to fashjacket transsexuals and dysphorics has been going on since the dawn of time

"social media is dangerous and bad for you and needs to be tightly regulated by the government" social media is just talking to other human beings that does not need to be regulated

Crazy how AGAB language was being mainstreamed in the 2010s as a "non-problematic" alternative to MtF/FtM. At least MtF/FtM imply change, while AGAB only acknowledges the starting point.

“We’re all faggots in the eyes of the state“ is one of the worst lines ever, I mean hell maybe we are all faggots in the eyes of the state but some of us are also trannies in the eyes of the state and that makes a difference

leftists running into straight into heavy handed KYC and other money transmittal regulations have a wonderful opportunity to learn about the philosophical reasoning behind crypto

Search "amabs" on here then try reading out the results while replacing the acronym with the full "Assigned Male At Births" Doing so makes it extremely obvious that folks are just using it as a progressive way to call trans women males.

"Sure king, appropriate a marginalized minority's language!"

Cis woman to trans woman: “omg hey girl I love your top” TME trans person to trans woman: “you, as an AMAB, benefit from the patriarchy and will never understand the experience of being AFAB because of your male socialization”

Probably feels emboldened because the mainstream normie LGBTQ/trans orgs somewhat promote that narrative, especially in their "respectable" public messaging. The actual experiences of trans women don't matter. All that matters is not rocking the boat with the validity theorists and queer academia.

The tenders are manufacturing consent for "it's OK for cis women to call themselves transfem if they have some subtle facial hair / slightly increased T"

They built their self-reinforcing alternate reality of tumblr tenderness, where "binary" (=on HRT) trans women are problematic/privileged, and cissexuals with quirky bios are the most fragile victims. Perhaps they'll listen to us if we speak in theyfab art.

honestly reminds me of r/anarchism where you're literally not allowed to say "stupid"

>Photogenic delaware numbers corporation Trans women are not allowed to have political/economic opinions other than "full blown communism".

Trans materialism: >a trans woman/man is someone on transfeminine HRT/transmasculine T Trans butlertheyfab-magick-religiospiritualism: >a trans woman/man is literally any (even AGAB-presenting) cis person that claims to identify as one. Transition is completely irrelevant, just ✨belief🪄⛪

>Denying their transness Lmao always the topmost concern of the validity wokescolds. Can we stop treating transness/trans community as a fandom? Or as a vexillology community?

Im not owed a gender performance but I can use words to describe a pattern of transmisogynistic behavior, and I also don’t have to pretend that someone who lives as and is treated as cis is the same as a transsexual woman

When we talk about needing HRT we get shot down with validity platitudes that don’t actually do anything to help us when we’re under existential threat

They don't do it blatantly/over-the-top like traditional terfs. They do it subtly but steadily, and it's everywhere. >Teehee recommending HRT? No, no, everyfolx has to discover by themselves with their own personal journey, for many a non-medicalized approach might suit better!1

I'm sorry, but I can't be assed to care about Italian trans people meeting with the Pope. This is the same institution that gave us "gender ideology", banned Catholic hospitals from providing gender affirming care in the US, and has one of the strongest colonialist legacies in the world.

You literally come up with a baseless statement (or with woke transphobia), make a tumblr post with a uwu flag, and link the post as a "reference" from the wiki. Presto! Your statement has now become official doctrine, because of all the clueless normie queers that will find the wiki page on google

Psychic prediction (based on linguistic clues): that place will ban you if you don't pay reverence to the cissexual community

"Take the phone away" is the first item on the list of action recommended by anti-trans parents' orgs.

The average normie person knows today no more about HRT than they knew in 2014. Yet everyone and their grandma knows about "pronouns and identities". Mainstream trans activism is now the activism of the "Words Must Mean Nothing" cis community.

Esther Ghey is no friend to trans people. She would rather have her daughter be alive and closeted than alive and trans. that's why Esther has Brianna's deadname tattooed on her body.

There should be zero gatekeeping of healthcare but gatekeeping of community is absolutely necessary

i’m glad we’re all seriously debating what topics we should make illegal for the computer to talk about with us but wokely it’s for the children if we don’t ban the uncomfortable topics the children will die let me scan your retinas btw

I mean it certainly seems like most theyfabs *want* to be treated as women for most/all practical purposes. Otherwise they wouldn't go above and beyond to turn every "women's <something>" into a "women and non-binary's <something>" They just don't like the word "woman" itself.

And they find this threatening because for most of them, their identities are also tied up in legibility as a woman, or at least a very easily identifiable proximity to cis womanhood, and they’re threatened don’t want to share this with trans women because doing that would make us equals

"caring about your appearance in any conventional way is assimilationism to the patriarchal standards of beauty and all trans people who do it instead of being as genderfuck ambiguous as possible are transmedicalists"

I lowkey think theres so much subtle TERF rhetoric from theyfabs because they have internalized that “to be a woman is to suffer bullshit” so they don’t call themselves women despite identifying as women in every meaningful way and they’re mad at trans women about it because we embrace womanhood

It’s hard not to feel some sort of intentional malice behind a lot of positions taken by the mainstream trans community since a lot of the knock-on effects of those positions de-emphasize trans women’s womanhood.

As a trans woman, I think the frustrations a lot of us have with the broader trans community is rooted in a sense that *a lot* of things the broader trans community does, and says, and believes feel like they’re coming from a fundamentally reactionary mindset towards us.

Transsexuals didn’t abandon you. You abandoned us.

>Dismisses the problem of woke transmisogyny >Check profile >she/they like clockwork

Imagine comparing a time-sensitive, gatekeepable-by-the-government concern like HRT, to one that effectively boils down to "make friends among like-minded people who respect you"

Also I know that there's some mild disagreement among the mean girls as to whether "wants to transition but hasn't yet" counts as "transsexual". I'm in the "no / not yet" field, because: - Moves transness again away from things you materially do, into the realm of "maybes / what-ifs" (1/)

honestly, in broader trans spaces, medical transition being demonized and treated as regressive is a far more common issue than genuine transmedicalism.

it is a clear example of two groups under the same umbrella (trans) having differing needs. the divide already exists. wouldn't it be helpful to be able to talk about that divide, talk about our differing needs, and figure out a path forward together instead of insisting that we're all >>
