anyway idc your stance on acecourse but stop putting hate//2//breakittoya on my dash theyre nbphobic as hell

their url is bottom//sona now and they literally said “being nb doesn’t impact your reality at all it just provides you with another social group to align yourself with” and claimed that all nb spaces are just echo chambers with bad politics

please reblog this so people know to stop reblogging from a transphobe

honestly the whole time reading these, i’m just sitting here thinking these folks sure have spent a lot of time crafting their weird bigoted theories into something that look academic. like it’s just going in circles and could be simply summarised into “i don’t think nonbinariness is real”.

don’t go and harass them, this is just a warning to people they’ve given off a lot of red flags and generally dismissed transmisogyny

  • made a post trying to reappropriate the idea of terfs to create the spectre of “Terfs 2.0″: “women and fem aligned NBs” who support trans women but are oppressive to trans men and masc NBs.
  • convinced that any transmisoginistic reading of their post was putting words in their mouth even after they admitted their post was vague and unclear
  • blocked me and @anarchotransfem and claimed they were being abusive, again just for asking them to clarify the meaning in their poorly worded post
  • whatever the hell happened in this reply they sent immediately after they blocked me, claiming that transfems being concerned about transmisogyny in their post was a purposeful attack on their mental health, that this was a concerted effort to gang up on them. it’s basically textbook “how not to react” after people tell you that you’ve fucked up.
  • generally going out of their way to absolve themself of any possible
    transmisogyny in their post
    , acting as if any concern of
    transmisogyny on their part is us being manipulative, oversensitive and out to
    get them. which is, surprise, transmisogyny.

while a lot of their posts about how trans men’s access to male privilege is highly conditional is stuff i agree with, it does start to give a bad impression when coupled with; their dismissal of transmisogyny, their near constant assertion that cis women are their main oppressor on the basis of gender (cis women specifically rather than cis people generally), and their assertions that cis women and trans men have identical experiences of misogyny. basically, it starts to look like the common truscum assertion that trans masc people can’t possibly hold power over trans women (and the corollary, that trans women who talk about transmisogyny are misandrists). they outright claim “trans people have no power” in reference to trans men having no social power for being men.

tbh i don’t think they’re even aware that what they’re saying could have these implications, and by no means do i think they’re actually a truscum or absorbing any truscum rhetoric. please don’t harass them, this is just to get the word out to other people not to interact with them concerning transmisogyny, because it looks pretty futile and i don’t want any more transfems to have to deal with their childlike behavior.

the rest of this horrible interaction and related screenshots under the cut

Keep reading

This is…..some pretty gross accusations and more than one of your “receipts” is presented with a misleading description that shows you have a personal, petty agenda against this person. Seems like you’re mad they blocked you and that you didn’t understand them, and scrolling their blog there are a lot of explanations that say the opposite things of what you’re implying about them. Idk, this callout seems iffy and less about “warnings” than being vindictive to me

I would say that it is indeed a personal agenda! As personal preservation from a person that keeps on talking over transfems, and reinforces trans men’s male entitlement would be hard to not take personally!

And yeah like not all of these are straight up bigoted things.

But I am highly concerned with how this person keeps on writing really vague shit and trying to make misogyny about men with such desperation.

Like, I’d highly just advice people to stay away from this person instead of trying to excuse them, because this person is clearly in some kind of echo chamber of transmasc self-victimisation, and latches on to the “you all are using radfem rhetoric!” argument while using radfem rhetorics.

like look at this person’s blog. they’re clearly trying to shape trans men as having authority on misogyny. and i don’t know about you, but when they keep on insisting on crypto-radfem rhetorical use, they really should be analysing how their words and actions might be do similar things when they pull the same shit terfs do!

if you say misogyny is about trans men, maybe you should analyse what that says about trans women. how do trans women not have male privilege within a frame where trans men and all dfab people are targets of misogyny, and should be the authority of it.

this all isn’t an attack jfc. it’s concern. because this person is making no effort to look at their own words and how their words carry implications.. even when multiple transfems independently go “hey.. what the fuck.. have you maybe thought that the rhetorics you’re spreading carries a transmisogynistic undertone”.

Please stop saying “transfem” when you mean trans women, for frik’s sake

Hi I’m transfeminine and affected by transmisogyny but also not a trans woman

I got blocked for this reply omfg

hey hang on. my op was literally about gaypeachs refusing to address transmisogyny that impacts nonbinaries. literally their rhetoric was specifically aimed at ‘fem nbs’ with no regard for transmisogyny or power dynamics. limiting the subject to binary trans women would just make my post incomprehensible, and is basically the same as the problem this post was meant to address; erasure of transmisogyny aimed at non-women/non-binaries. gross.

“other cultures have these 3rd genders” is “other cultures have been oppressing and dehumanizing gay, trans, and gnc people”. And you fucking present it as something good. You are not “””nb”””, you are simply transphobic and homophobic. You have no idea how bad it can get with oppression, you just treat it as “look at me i am special” badge. You are worse than any white conservative cishet – at least they do not actively kill us in such masses.

mukhannath:

it’s true im typing this from a mass grave full of binary trans people. the nonbinaries did this to us. those monsters

elliexer:

what does “nb people are almost always binary aligned” even mean? 

“oh they wear make up so they’re woman aligned” 

“oh they grow their facial hair so they’re man aligned”

like what type of cisnormative gender role bullshit……… in 2017????? bitch…

aaa-hope:

hollowedskin:

if ur cis dont fucking tell trans people they’re pretending to be trans. i dont care if you’re not straight. the trans intracommunity discussion on dysphoria is not for you to fucking touch.

If you’re trans don’t tell people they’re pretending either, though.

It feels like this is giving respectability politics and invalidating trans/nb/gq people more authenticity than it deserves, as long as the person invalidating trans people is trans themself. Framing those things as an “intracommunity discussion” is really harmful.

A man saying “there are only two genders, and genderqueer is not one of them, so you’re just pretending” (to put the typical position kindly) is not okay, regardless of whether that man is cis or trans. Even if he frames it as just a political opinion or an intracommunity discussion, that doesn’t change what it is and the harm it does.

I get that this post isn’t directed at trans people, but intentionally or not, it legitimizes treating people’s identities as a debate in the first place.

i can’t believe people are honestly confused about what Straight privilege is and how it’s different from being just heterosexual/hetromantic

example. on one hand, we have het trans women. these are trans women that are attracted only to men. but the Straight trans woman is about 1000 times more rare. there’s an obscene set of standards that are required for a trans woman to get even a fraction of straight privilege to work:

  • cis passing
  • completely 100% gender conforming, but careful not to approach hyperfemininity or anything that would call extra scrutiny to her presentation
  • almost certainly truscum. will have ‘only two genders’ memes up on her facebook
  • has had bottom surgery, will look down on trans people who don’t want or can’t afford bottom surgery as fucking Deviants
  • yes that’s right it’s quite likely that it’s completely impossible for a pre-op/non-op trans woman to have straight privilege because that shit evaporates the second anyone can connect you to even a hypothetical penis
  • not a condition, but the mythical Straight trans woman will generally always hold the one massively outdated and misleading theory about transness being “an intersex condition of the brain”, that an accident of birth Literally put a female brain in the wrong body.
  • we’re talking ‘50s sexism where Lady Brains are hardwired for nurturing, communicating and shopping. Any modern ideas on gender equality immediately disqualifies you from being the Acceptable trans woman
  • we’re talking, the girl asking the guy out first being an unmentionable sin. the acceptably straight trans woman has to be completely fucking passive in anything involving sex and relationships
  • disavowing anything related to being LGBTI or Queer, absolutely no pride in being trans
  • the other trans women come under the T, but not the Straight trans woman. the T is for trans people who don’t want to be completely normal
  • trans pride is for people who are being trans wrong. Trans is Suffering
  • we’re talking about people so terrifyingly determined to be Straight and Completely fucking Normal that they’ve spent their life purging anything not completely gender-conformative about their presentation, and distancing themselves from actually being associated with trans people (this isn’t meant to be a judgement statement bc this is really all for personal safety)
  • notice how i haven’t even mentioned sexuality yet
  • but yes, the straight trans woman is completely straight
  • Totally Vanilla straight. polyam is forbidden. even kink is suspect, because it could mark you as a deviant. the only acceptable kink is like, 50 Shades of Grey style shit where the Dude always Doms and even a blindfold is risqué
  • I’m out of points but feel free to reblog this and add more Straightness conditions for trans women because all the terms and conditions are frankly astounding if we could count them all up

so. while the het-attracted trans women are capable of homophobia, it’s only the Straight trans women who are capable of benefiting from homophobia by virtue of being accepted into the class of Straights. these are the kind of people who can make homophobic jokes at work to make friends with straight co-workers. the kind of people who get high-fives after verbally abusing someone openly gay or trans. the kind of trans women who, (if white) gets promotions for looking like Everyone Else

and here’s an accompanying list of how to have Straight privilege as a nonbinary person:

  • you literally can’t wtf
  • straightness as a concept literally is incompatible with nonbinary identities
  • It’s Adam and Eve not two gender neutral names
  • when the fuck have you heard a third option in ‘”marriage is between a man and a woman”
  • an AFAB nonbinary and a dude is a fundamentally non-straight couple
  • an AMAB nonbinary and a woman is a non-straight couple
  • an AMAB nonbinary and an AFAB nonbinary couple is, do i have to say it, not straight
  • whatever they call their relationship, they’re the opposite of straight
  • even if they’re completely cis passing
  • i swear to god some of you people are trying to categorise Straight people as literally any couple with one peen and one vageen
  • if you don’t know how to categorise sexual attraction without erasing someone’s gender identity then u should probably have a time out with all the other transphobes
  • i can’t believe i have to tell you this because bi people have been saying this for literally decades but: having PIV sex isn’t the thing that magically bestows straight privilege upon someone. being straight is an identity and a position of privilege and nothing as simple as an action
  • straight privilege doesn’t land on anyone who doesn’t identify strictly as straight, or as strictly a man or a woman
  • literally how did we get this far that i need to write a refresher course on this. how did we let this become controversial

basically, remember Straight isn’t just the opposite of being gay. Straight is the opposite of being gay, lesbian, bi, pan, ply, trans, nonbinary, queer, ace, aro. Straight is the opposite of every marginalised gender/sexual identity. that’s why they’re marginalised, as in pushed to the margins in favour of Straightness as the default, the one identity allowed to be normal.
