what she says: I’m fine
what she means: I’m so glad that our lemon tree finally grew and sprouted fruitful lemony lemons. I mean, imagine, we can make lemonade, key lemon pie, lemon merengue pie. I think it’s the most valuable of property that we have. I think we should go to the bank and get a loan, actually I think we should just get lemon tree insurance and then get a loan and use the lemon tree as collateral because it is now insured. I truly do love our lemon tree. Just imagine a life full of lemon trees, and all our beautiful lemons, endless possibilities. They’re so beautiful, I wish I was a lemon. You wish you were a lemon? If you were a lemon I would put you on my shelf and cherish you like I cherish all our lemons. That’s so beautiful, like I only hope that the whores aren’t stealing our lemons you know those naughty whores always steal lemons and we do have a couple lemon whores in this community, those damn lemon-stealing whores I hate them because no one will take our prized lemons from us. Hey, has it been about 10 seconds since we looked at our lemon tree? It has been about 10 seconds till we looked at our lemon tree. Hey what the fuck

“traps aren’t trans women, they’re effeminate gay dudes who crossdress to deceive and fuck straight guys”
ok but you’ve, just decided to counter an accusation of transphobia with “checkmate, i’m a huge transphobe AND homophobe. weren’t expecting that one hey?”. like you really thought your knowledge of fetish anime would make you look Less Grosscontinually surprised how chasers think they’re getting away with: “my fetish isn’t trans women, my fetish is just identical in every way to trans women except closeted, or traumatised to staying in the closet and who doesn’t have the language or confidence to ask to be respected. also a cartoon usually.”
Also, for those who say “b-but how do I describe my anime waifu now????” – Japanese doesn’t even use the term ‘trap.’ It’s a transmisogynist term that started on 4chan that’s coercively applied to any person assigned male at birth that crossdresses (jousou, which is a neutral term in Japanese) presents femininely (onee), or is otherwise feminine of center (trans women, transfems, x -gender, as well as various GNC men, cis drag queens etc.), both in Western fandom and irl. It’s a slur, just like sh*male.
More about there term here, from Andrea Ritsu, a Japanese trans woman.
Basically: stop using it.
In response to Mike Cernovich telling someone to fuck off after that someone misgendered Chelsea Manning, someone responded this to Mike’s tweet. There are several other comments getting at basically this same point.
Why do I post this? Because this tells us something about why men behave the way they do towards trans women. For men, there is a fear of contamination. A sort of: If I am nice to trans women does it mean I am one?
And of course, who would want to be one of us? Who would want to be such a reviled thing. And so, cruelty towards the thing reviled is a means of distancing oneself from that thing.
Trans women present men with the fact that they *could* be something else. And that to become that something else they would lose their social status. Our existence denaturalizes patriarchal domination. It tells them “your power can be taken away”
And so, when men see a trans woman like Chelsea hurting, they spit on her and take the time to attack her, to call for her suicide. Because they can distance themselves from the possibility of ever being the one spit on and abused.
And men will always suggest that those who don’t treat us like shit, even if only for a brief moment (like Mike here), must actually be one of us. They have to maintain the distancing act and police each other. Its pathetic and sad.
why is everyone w the t slur in their urls always some transmed trans guy, and usually far right. it’s like the truscum equivalent of your genitals as a profile pic; only a special kind of evil just waves it around like that in the open where it doesn’t get filtered
Today’s fun surprise was seeing puella translated as “whore”.
The other week it was seeing Fagles’ translation of Lacaena as “Spartan whore”
[image is the is this a pigeon? meme: the guy is labelled “Male Translator”, the butterfly is “literally any noun, pronoun, or adjective referring to a woman”, the subtitles read “Does this mean “whore”?”]
someone Galaxy Brained that post with “Actually traps are straight guys”
“traps aren’t trans women, they’re effeminate gay dudes who crossdress to deceive and fuck straight guys”

@clitcheese
Traps (normally for the architype anyway ) are not trans, they are in fact Male biologically, and they identify as male as far as I know. They are simply gender roll nonconforming. Thus they are CIS and thus not identical to trans women. I think calling a cis man in a dress trying to trick men into sex trans is actually kind of degrading to trans women, but IDK that just IMO.
Of course this all ignores the high improbability of a trans woman
trying to deceive a straight man into having sex. Cause you know….
they know that they NORMALLY END UP DEAD OR BEATEN IF THEY DO THAT AND AS SUCH IT IS EXCEEDING DANGEROUS TO DO AS SUCH. Not to mention it’s really kinda shitty to deceive someone like that and trans people aren’t psychopaths who would do shit like that.Another matter is that the fantasy of fucking a dude in a dress is…. well… pretty damn gay. They are still a dude after all and as a “straight” guy the moment the dick pops out you SHOULD theoretically be out the door and down the street. I think it bespeaks to sort of ingrained homophobia that has caused a rejection of a part of the self. The truth in such individuals I theorizes is that they are gay(or bi) and simply can’t reconcile that with there oppressive notions of manliness they have grown up with; thus they need to dress up the target of there desires as feminine to make it acceptable to there “manhood” or otherwise let go there toxic masculinity(and finally let the healing begin).
once more this is all IMO and I love hearing feedback and pointers and other points of views especially from people with a pedigree on the subject like you.
traps aren’t real. i can’t argue with you on the basis that this is a real thing that exists in real life. it’s a fetish label. you’re looking at a poorly done caricature of the oldest stereotypes of trans women and saying “see this isn’t transmisogyny, the real transmisogyny would be to think this has something to do with trans women” when it’s very clearly what cis people think of us.
and again, read the op again. very carefully. like it predicted, you’re trying to have an argument over wether this is a harmful stereotype of gay men as rapists, or trans women as rapists. like do you hear yourself? you’re still relying on homophobia in your post trying to defend a stereotype. let it go
Hey just letting you know, f*g isn’t a slur you can reclaim if you’re not a gay man. idk if you identify as that or not, just because in your bio previously you had written ‘transbian’, which I think insinuates you’re female aligned
i 100% understand why you think that! however! slurs are complicated, identities are super complicated (and i don’t feel like spending three paragraphs detailing mine), and not only is fag a term that’s levelled pretty indiscriminately against queers as a general rule and especially towards transfeminine people, the differentiation between feminine gay men and trans girls is… really new. fag is both of ours. fairy is both of ours. molly and baeddel and argr are all both of ours.
end-of is really, not everyone agrees that only gay men can say fag, but even if they did, my identity is messy and complicated and not necessarily perfectly in line with current discourse on gender/sexuality theory, the word is an important part of my identity, and i apologize for any discomfort that (or any of the various slurs i use) causes but my identity is not for you to police.
also, here’s a pretty great post.
seeing people thinking fag isn’t thrown at trans women because it’s a slur for ‘male aligned people’ is always a fun reminder that non trans women and esp cis people just have no fucking clue.
it’s a slur associated w gay men. & that’s Exactly why it’s used against us. it has the connotations that someone’s a failure for a lack of masculinity. did u really think people are looking at trans women and thinking, “i’m going to throw a slur at her, but i have to respect her identity and not misgender her with a male aligned term, i’m only verbally abusing her I don’t want to be cruel or anything”
