altegender: pronouncedย โ€œalt-eh-genderโ€
derived from shortening the phraseย โ€œalternate existence.โ€ It is a xenogender that feels as though itโ€™s in a parallel dimension, on a different plane, in a mirror universe, or just in an alternate existence.ย 

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 donโ€™t think Iโ€™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 โค

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

1) alternate universes arenโ€™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 Iโ€™m missunderstanding this but from what it looks like these new terms are explaining exactly this. If Iโ€™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 donโ€™t care about your feelings on this as its not your gender, itโ€™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 capitalistโ€™s head that their ideology is going to cause long-term agricultural collapse.

Iโ€™m serious. The concept of profit is the sole reason why we havenโ€™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 theyโ€™re terrible and i know they want people dead. but TERFs have every right to lgbt resources because theyโ€™re still lgbt. itโ€™s fucking terrible i know. BUT the entire point of the LGBT is to fuckign protect these people. likeโ€ฆ.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, weโ€™re canโ€™t just turn them away. itโ€™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. theyโ€™re a lost cause. fuck them. youโ€™d rather let them keep thinking these terrible harmful transphobic thoughts then try to invite them in and educate them? that makes sense.ย 

this is a bad comparison. of course weโ€™re kicking terfs out of our spaces. theyโ€™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. itโ€™s not our job to educate a hate group. donโ€™t let a fox into a club for rabbits. the entire point of being a terf is that you have read information and youโ€™ve embraced a specific ideology advocating death for all trans women. are we letting in tradfems, too, if theyโ€™re gay?

today in the discourse: aroaces will Steal Our Nonrenewable Gay Resources, but we have to let TERFs into the LGBTย community becaus Some Of Them Are Gay .( Please Wonโ€™t Youย Think Of The Lesbians Who Hate Trans Women Guys .( .( .( They Just Need To Be Educated!!! .( .( .( .( .( .(

โ€œWhy canโ€™t we just be nice to violent transmisogynists who actively work to exterminate trans women? :(โ€

OP, youโ€™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.

itโ€™s not trans peoplesโ€™ job to fucking educate cis people on Not Wanting To Kill Trans People like jfc

@lilycourse here’s actual terf shit lol

Statements that are literally TERF rhetoric that Iโ€™ve seen inclusionists say

  • trans people were added in later in the LGBT movement
  • straight trans people can call themselves gay
  • trans men can call themselves lesbians
  • cis lgbp should quit using the word cis in cishet and cis aroace, even though by doing so, youโ€™d implicitly be kicking out trans/nb people
  • aces have a greater right to LGBT spaces than trans people do, because asexuality is a sexuality and trans isnโ€™t
  • defending TERFs from meanies who want them run over by a bus

Also, thank you to @fuckradfems for double-checking these screenshots, @discoursepsychic for suggesting a screenshot

@clitcheese

hey um, when I said a call-out post? i meant a call-out post and not this useless sack of crap i have to sift through. are you trying to be unhelpful?

as i have already plainly explained, we actually did have to fight for trans and bi recognition. this is basic, basic history, and notย โ€˜erasing trans people from the movementโ€™, itโ€™s literally basically recognising that we have been already erased from the movement by cis people. for the love of fuck i canโ€™t actually simplify this anymore. Trans people start movement. Gay movement decides it wants nothing to do with trans people. trans people fight this. the letter T is added so that doesnโ€™t happen again. are we clear on this

the second screenshot actually goes into this in more detail than i can? thereโ€™s literally nothing incorrect here? what are you even calling out here? that weโ€™re acknowledging trans erasure? do you want to call out someone for a goddamn history lesson? you get that what youโ€™re doing here as a cis person is deliberately misleading right? there are young people who still remember the acronym before it included the T, considering this was a debate topic in the 90s and well into the 00s.

anonymous posts

@hookandcook says straight trans people can call themselves gay. i should point out hookandcook is, a gay trans person, but what the hell. hey dude, while straight trans people are queer for being trans, you canโ€™t use gay and queer interchangeably like that. itโ€™s pretty straightforward that itโ€™s disrespectful to gay people for any straight people to call themselves gay.ย 

alright! someone with an actual URL saying fucked up shit! this wasnโ€™t so difficult was it? @rainbowgoddamnunicorn, who i canโ€™t tag, great, but yeah what the fuck

the next anon is rubbish but theyโ€™re touching on something iโ€™ve talked about, that trans people rarely have straight privilege even if theyโ€™re completely hetero because of the obscene kinds of hoops one has to jump through to be considered โ€˜straightโ€™, so like, theyโ€™re being reductive but calling this anon transphobicโ€ฆ is a reach

all the callouts for saying trans men can be lesbians belong to @yall-aphobes-need-to-stop finally, itโ€™s also literally up there on their blog admitting that they said it too. thereโ€™s also a bunch of callouts already in their url tag, so i suggest blocking them!

each and every single call out for policing cis peopleโ€™s use ofย โ€˜cishetโ€™ goes to trans people! aphobic-hau and babblingqueerace and transkrem! theyโ€™re all fucking trans! youโ€™re calling out trans people for literally fucking calling out cis peopleโ€ฆ in a way you donโ€™t like! you can call me out for this too, i stand by this.ย cis people need toโ€ฆ actually fucking listen to trans people on this. honestly. cis people labelling their oppressors asย โ€˜cishetsโ€™ instead of as fucking straights only serves to distance themselves from their own cis privilege. and like, in the post i already linked to, sometimes trans people can actually have straight privilege? addingย โ€˜cisโ€™ doesnโ€™t actually let us have a nuanced discussion about the dynamics trans people have towards straightness. and if this really erases trans people, you really have to explain to me how? iโ€™m fucking trans and i canโ€™t actually make sense of your complaint here.

hey quick aside if you crop out the URL on a post? itโ€™s fucking useless thanks

more for yall-aphobes-need-to-stop, as well as @shybiviolet, hello you should let people be mad a terfs, because terfs are fucking trash, okay, cool

underย โ€˜pitting lg vs btโ€™ youโ€™ve put in that basic history lesson from before in again, i think you should read it actually? like what do you not like about it, the insinuation that bi people have faced biphobia? that cis people have been transphobic? nothing here actually demonises anyone, itโ€™s just talking about the communityโ€™s history with respectability politics.

hey callout post for all these anons for being homophobic! you know these are completely fucking useless right. because theyโ€™re anonymous. like Barack Obama could have sent them for all the fuck i know. you know you can send these to yourself, thatโ€™s why theyโ€™re completely useless as evidence for anything.ย 

and @next-venoms who i think youโ€™ll find is a fucking guro blog? and they could have worded it in a less divisive way but, i think i really agree with the sentiment? is this really the hill you want to die on. i canโ€™t speak for biphobia, but you know cis people abuse trans people in LGBTI/queer spaces all the time right? the LGBTI community was built on trans womenโ€™s backs.. the only thing problematic here is that it erases that bi people have as much cis privilege as gays and lesbians. but sure, letโ€™s all call out this problematic goreporn blog

so. letโ€™s tally up everyone who actually parroted anything even remotely simialar to what terfs have ever said;

  1. rainbowgoddamnunicorn
  2. @yall-aphobes-need-to-stop

you could have just given me the reciepts for those two. this was the most amazingly frustrating thing you could have done here. you could have at least figured out for yourself that transkrem, who has trans in their goddamn username, actually has a much more valid opinion on the word cishets than you do.. if you want me to call out anything ever again, you can at least make it readable. and not call out trans people for talking about trans issues and calling it TERF rhetoric. thatโ€™s literally a polite, basic minimum for these kinds of posts right.

oh and also can you do me a favour? itโ€™s to never speak about transphobia ever again. you have no idea how to use that word and itโ€™s not your fucking discourse card. literally fucking consult me or another trans person first before you make another post this useless and misleading again.

Not all of those screenshots are mine, and some other person cropped out the op of those posts. I literally consulted a trans person when compiling those posts. I also interpreted stuff like the T was added later as in trans people werenโ€™t always there and were added later to the community, and promoting the LG vs BT split, which ignores trans gay people and that cis bi people can still be transphobic. Like, do inclusionists think all LG people are cis? There are also trans people saying that itโ€™s 100% okay for us to use cishet, so your point? Those anons are obviously inclusionists and shows that transphobic sentiment is there. Iโ€™m not sure what else I could do there? Does anyone else care to join in?

yeah no matter how many times you, a cis person, willfully misinterpret what trans people have been saying to you, it doesn’t somehow make it TERF rhetoric. don’t repeat this to me again. i’m a trans lesbian so of course i’m not standing by this bullshit where you think i’m saying
‘all LG people are cis’, and neither did the screenshots you gave me that were clealy from other trans people.

although i have blocked people for that awful star trek theory that goes like, โ€˜the federationโ€™s prime directive/non interference policy actually destroys culturesโ€™ as if like, letting a culture fuck themselves up and fucking colonising them are equally bad

how do you take the middle path in an argument about colonialism. ‘sure invading a culture is bad, but imagine the awful things that could happen if we leave this native culture to its own devices?โ€™ like how about we as white people avoid the fuck out of that narrative please and thank you
