altegender: pronouncedΒ β€œalt-eh-gender”
derived from shortening the phraseΒ β€œalternate existence.” It is a xenogender that feels as though it’s 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.

These are giving me lots of feels and thoughts. I don’t think I’m 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 ❀

While I am all for gender expression I have several issues with this.

1) alternate universes aren’t 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 I’m missunderstanding this but from what it looks like these new terms are explaining exactly this. If I’m 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 don’t care about your feelings on this as its not your gender, it’s 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 capitalist’s head that their ideology is going to cause long-term agricultural collapse.

I’m serious. The concept of profit is the sole reason why we haven’t 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.

Why the hell shouldn’t we kick out terfs? They want trans women dead. By keeping them in your prioritizing the safety of cis people to trans women, I don’t care if they’re lgbpa. Kick terfs out of lgbt+ places

because TERFs are often lesbians. like. i knwo they’re terrible and i know they want people dead. but TERFs have every right to lgbt resources because they’re still lgbt. it’s fucking terrible i know. BUT the entire point of the LGBT is to fuckign protect these people. like….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, we’re can’t just turn them away. it’s 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. they’re a lost cause. fuck them. you’d 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 we’re kicking terfs out of our spaces. they’re 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. it’s not our job to educate a hate group. don’t let a fox into a club for rabbits. the entire point of being a terf is that you have read information and you’ve embraced a specific ideology advocating death for all trans women. are we letting in tradfems, too, if they’re 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 Won’t YouΒ Think Of The Lesbians Who Hate Trans Women Guys .( .( .( They Just Need To Be Educated!!! .( .( .( .( .( .(

β€œWhy can’t we just be nice to violent transmisogynists who actively work to exterminate trans women? :(”

OP, you’re 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.

it’s not trans peoples’ job to fucking educate cis people on Not Wanting To Kill Trans People like jfc

@lilycourse here’s actual terf shit lol

you get that as a cis person it’s shit to ask me to repeatedly baby you through this right?

:

You still haven’t 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 didn’t 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 people’s safety. being a smug piece of shit and dumping a bunch of completely anonymous screenshots so you can make inclusionists look bad, that’s useless to me. that’s useless to trans people on both sides of this. you’ve just turned this into more fucking discourse, because of course you couldn’t 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 don’t care about your cis opinion right? your opinion that i’m 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 it’s basing who can or can’t 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 they’re a trans man as of the time of writing.

[caption: two images from yall-aphobes-need-to-stop’s blog. First image reads: β€œanonymous 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 don’t think those people are invalid. Why do you, anon?”

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: That’s not how it works, brah]

I still don’t understand why people are using that second image as β€œproof” that I’m transphobic, because when I said β€œthat’s not how it works, brah” I was essentially saying that since cis men never ID’d 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 they’re lesbians outside of being pure douchebags.

As I’ve said many times before, trans men calling themselves lesbians is conditional. Only in the time period where they’re 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.
