Okay since apparently someone is replacing old Nazi blogs with Woody from Toy Story, the next thing to do is replace all the TERF blogs with Buzz Lightyear.
altegender: pronouncedΒ βalt-eh-genderβ derived from shortening the phraseΒ βalternate existence.β It is a xenogender that feels as though itβs in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.Β
It can work as a prefix with other words to form more specific genders, like altegirl, alteboy, altenby, altexirl, altexoy, and altefluid.
altegirl/altewoman:
someone whoβs gender feels like it is female, but as though itβsΒ
in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.
alteboy/alteman:
someone whoβs gender feels like it is male, but as though itβs Β in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.
altenby:
someone whoβs gender feels like it is nonbinary/genderqueer, but as though itβs Β in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.
altexirl:
someone whoβs gender feels like it is
in some way nonbinary girl or nonbinary girl-adjacent, but as though itβs Β in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.
altexoy:
someone whoβs gender feels like it is in some way a nonbinary boy or nonbinary boy-adjacent, but as though itβs Β in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.
altefluid:
someone whoβs gender feels like it is fluid, but as though itβs Β in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.
These are giving me lots of feels and thoughts. I donβt think Iβm going to start identifying as altegender, but I do think there is something jiggling in my brain around it that I may write about at some point. Kind of reblogging for future personal reference.
I can see this being helpful for people who disassociate? or something. Either way re-blogging for followers β€
While I am all for gender expression I have several issues with this.
1) alternate universes arenβt even a confirmed theory. It is speculated by scientist but it is in no way confirmed nor are we close to confirming its theory.
2) chances are if there are alternate existences, we all have a separate gender of ourselves out there so in theory this would include quite literally everyone. The multiverse theory dictates that there are an infinite number of alternate and parallel universes that consist of minor to extreme changes in details. This includes gender.
3) even if the multiverse theory were true, just because there is one out there with an identical replica of you out there with the only difference being their gender, this would not effect you directly. You would still be the gender you are, that alternate you would have the detail variation.
Maybe Iβm missunderstanding this but from what it looks like these new terms are explaining exactly this. If Iβm missunderstanding it then please explain it to me so that I can understand it, but as of now those are my feelings on this.
Yea these are literally just about how a gender feels, not saying you literally have a gender from another dimension. Its a way of expressing gender perception because of mental illness or just a fuzzy/distant relation to it
also tbh I really donβt care about your feelings on this as its not your gender, itβs mine.
call out post for the mogais: alternate universes aren’t even a confirmed theory
I really think it needs to be drilled into every capitalistβs head that their ideology is going to cause long-term agricultural collapse.
Iβm serious. The concept of profit is the sole reason why we havenβt found a solution to global warming yet, and global warming will make vast swaths of land either uninhabitable or unsuitable for the growth of modern crop yields.
No matter how many times people uncritically repeat canned anti-communist, anti-socialist, or anti-leftist rhetoric, there is no escaping the fact that the necessity of profit in a capitalist economy has directly caused an environmental catastrophe that is likely to kill more than a billion people.
because TERFs are often lesbians. like. i knwo theyβre terrible and i know they want people dead. but TERFs have every right to lgbt resources because theyβre still lgbt. itβs fucking terrible i know. BUT the entire point of the LGBT is to fuckign protect these people. likeβ¦.i hate TERFs just as much as you do. but if they need an LGBT shelter, or a place to go to fucking escape an abusive parent or just sex-ed or some other important LGBT specific resource, weβre canβt just turn them away. itβs like a death sentence for a lot of people. besides, we should spend our time trying to educate them and change their mindset instead of going. WELP. theyβre a lost cause. fuck them. youβd rather let them keep thinking these terrible harmful transphobic thoughts then try to invite them in and educate them? that makes sense.Β
this is a bad comparison. of course weβre kicking terfs out of our spaces. theyβre not entitled to any lgbt resources, unless you want trans, bi, and non white people to feel unsafe in those spaces? teach terfs using isolation and leave them to fester on their own. itβs not our job to educate a hate group. donβt let a fox into a club for rabbits. the entire point of being a terf is that you have read information and youβve embraced a specific ideology advocating death for all trans women. are we letting in tradfems, too, if theyβre gay?
today in the discourse: aroaces will Steal Our Nonrenewable Gay Resources, but we have to let TERFs into the LGBTΒ community becaus Some Of Them Are Gay .( Please Wonβt YouΒ Think Of The Lesbians Who Hate Trans Women Guys .( .( .( They Just Need To Be Educated!!! .( .( .( .( .( .(
βWhy canβt we just be nice to violent transmisogynists who actively work to exterminate trans women? :(β
OP, youβre a transmisogynist, and you are literally calling to violently drive trans women from LGBT+ spaces. Fuck off.
OP is literally a fucking cis gay lecturing trans women on why we should welcome our murderers into our spaces are you fucking shitting me
Always remember this.
itβs not trans peoplesβ job to fucking educate cis people on Not Wanting To Kill Trans People like jfc
You still havenβt explained why your opinion is automatically right, when there have been trans people opposing you, and I get some were anons and some had the URL cropped out, but they had zilch reasons to send anons to themselves, and I didnβt take all of these screenshots. And those anons were agreeing with inclusionists.
hey remember when i said this, and you just remained committed to being useless
your priorities in a call out post should be to publically identify people being transphobic to spread the word, so people can block and protect themselves. this was meant to be about trans peopleβs safety. being a smug piece of shit and dumping a bunch of completely anonymous screenshots so you can make inclusionists look bad, thatβs useless to me. thatβs useless to trans people on both sides of this. youβve just turned this into more fucking discourse, because of course you couldnβt even be helpful for five fucking minutes to someone you disagreed with
i also explained my stance on the cishet thing multiple times, with links to other posts, and you know so did the actual trans people you screenshotted and called out as suspiciously terfy. and you get why i donβt care about your cis opinion right? your opinion that iβm wrong and transphobic, for reasons unspecified?
callout post for @yall-aphobes-need-to-stop, asserting that trans men should be allowed to ID as lesbians. this is transphobic, as itβs basing who can or canβt be a lesbian on birth assignment instead of identity as a woman. this attitude is especially harmful against trans women, who are frequently told we can not ID as lesbians because of birth assignment. for context, YANTS is not a lesbian, they are nonbinary and questioning if theyβre a trans man as of the time of writing.
[caption: two images from yall-aphobes-need-to-stopβs blog. First image reads: βanonymous asked: men cant be lesbians. Β yall-aphobes-need-to-stop answered: There are a lot of men who, before they came out as trans men, identified as female and as lesbians. Then, as their identity changed and they realized they were trans men, they held on to the lesbian label.I personally donβt think those people are invalid. Why do you, anon?β
the second image contains the same post as the first, as well as another. Anonymous asked: If you say trans men can be lesbians, that means cis men can too. YANTS answered: Thatβs not how it works, brah]
I still donβt understand why people are using that second image as βproofβ that Iβm transphobic, because when I said βthatβs not how it works, brahβ I was essentially saying that since cis men never IDβd as women before, and they never had any transitional phase between IDing as a lesbian woman and a straight trans man, they literally have zero reason to say theyβre lesbians outside of being pure douchebags.
As Iβve said many times before, trans men calling themselves lesbians is conditional. Only in the time period where theyβre getting used to their new identity after coming out, around people they have not yet cone out to about their gender identity, or from accidentally falling into old habits.
I have never once said that trans men are lesbians, nor have I said they can be lesbians. All I have ever said or meant was that there are certain situations whereupon they might end up using that word to describe themselves, and it is not inherently transphobic or lesbophobic for them to do so.
i don’t want to get into this but if something isn’t specifically related to being trans, and it would be gross for a cis man to do it. then it would also be gross for a trans man to do it, regardless of how long they do it for. and there’s no ‘transitional phase’ where misgendering yourself magically becomes a healthy thing to do.
