I’m a bit pissed right now so I’m just going to leave this here.

If you’re really pro-choice, and say you support a woman’s right to choose, you better fucking support a trans woman’s right to have hrt and get srs if she so desires.

(I know I’m going to get hate for this.)

nah

a man wanting to a get boob implants for cosmetic reasons and to fulfill his autogynephilic kink is in no way in the same level or comparable to a traumatized rape victim wanting to get rid of the pregnancy that resulted from the sexual abuse she experienced, pro-choice activism is in no way related and should never go hand-in-hand with transgenderism rhetoric

0/10 this is a terrible post and you should feel ashamed

You do know that *I* am not allowed to have hormones, as a post-menopausal cis woman with a family history of breast cancer?  You do know the majority of post-menopausal women who now request hormones do not get them, due to fear of liability and lawsuits, etc?  

The official number of post-menopausal women (in the USA) on hormones is 1 in 5, and that is why.  Even if we sign papers agreeing to the liability and taking responsibility… well, they don’t offer us any.  The door is closed; they are simply not going there and possibly getting sued for malpractice.  

Therefore, pay attention, you are actually getting treated far better than we are.  The medical establishment assumes you are intelligent enough to choose what you want and grown up enough take responsibility, but fully 80% post-menopausal women are not given these choices.

I support the rights of 1 out of 5 trans women getting hormones, the same as for post-menopausal cis women.  Exactly the same.  If any woman in your family has had breast cancer, instant disqualification.  Tough shit.  

Now, that’s equality.  As it is, trans women are of course treated FAR BETTER than cis women and after their initial diagnosis, have oceans of hormones at their disposal (at megadoses I have been told would be harmful for cis women) regardless of their family histories.  So cut the bullshit, please.  

1 in 5 is the number for us, so that should be the number for you…  agreed?  

If not, why do you think you deserve to be treated better than cis women?

hm don’t u think it’s just a bit, unnatural? doesn’t it make a mokery of the women who can produce their own estrogen? doesn’t taking these manufactured chemicals and pumping them into your body make you simply a product of the modern medical industry? isn’t artificial female hormones just a defiance of natural order? aren’t hormones just optional and cosmetic and unnecessary? just saying, i thought terfs were against all this hormone stuff. but im learning more everyday!

but in all seriousness. estrogen treatment at an old age comes with significant risk to trans & cis women. trans women who medically transition over 40 are very often denied hormones if there is any history of heart disease or blood clotting disorders in the family, although antiandrogens are a different matter because they have no risk and in fact reduce the risk of many cancers. and all trans women are on progressively lower dosages as we age because estrogen treatment is a cancer risk in all women, and medical guidelines state that over around 40, estrogen supplements should be kept as little as possible. often trans women have to halt hormones completely around the age breast cancer becomes a risk factor if there’s a family history. the ‘megadoses’ you’re talking about would be dangerous only to women who are already producing estrogen, as normal estrogen levels don’t to be doubled. in fact they’re only ‘megadoses’ compared to the microdoses found in contraceptives, because they have completely different functions. if a trans woman is taking more estrogen than is in the normal range of cis women for their age, that’s generally self-medication and is harmful if left unchecked. and at every age depending on the dosage we need bloodtests every 3 to 6 months to check our liver, kidneys and to check for clots.

and the whole ‘trans women have it better’ shit that you’re pushing ignores that trans women outside the US (Nowhere else has a planned parenthood) need to go to specialists for these drugs, which have a minimum year long waiting lists, often 2 years or more, just to get into preliminary psychological testing. they often require over 10 very expensive sessions of very intrusive evaluation. the country of New Zealand had one such specialist who recently retired, and now the entire damn country is unequipped to handle trans women. this isn’t like us just being able to go to the gynecologist.

it’s really not that hard to google what attaining hormone treatment is like for trans women there’s just no need to be this wrong next time

colour-code your infants so strangers know what their genitals look like

this is THE WORST idea anyone has ever had on this site. ever.

yeah you’re right……haha……..imagine some sort of dystopia where newborns were dressed in certain colours according to their genitals……….jeez……..how fucked up would that be……..how could I have ever come up with something so silly

When you put it like that it sounds fucked up but it’s so hard to tell whether a baby is a boy or a girl until they become a toddler… it’s just so people can be polite and use the correct pronoun. I swear to god if you say some shit about babies possibly being trans I will come to your house and have a respectful debate about it

it’s almost like i’m transgender imagine that

it’s almost like you, a cis person, have no say over trans rights

All Babies Are Trans sorry cis people

I’m in your house, injecting your babies with hormones. Which hormones, you ask? every hormone at once. Now your precious 2 month old infant has Big Hairy Titties. They’re now bigger than it’s infant head and still growing. and chest hair like a gorilla. Your child already has a thick, Stalin-esque moustache. ‘my god,’ you plead, ‘stop it, they’re just a child! get your Trans off of my beautiful cis baby!’

I do a sweet backflip out the nursery window. I’ll never be caught, I’ll never pay for my crimes against the cis. ‘Mama?’ your baby asks for you, for the first time. But it’s horrifying, they have a voice deep as Barry White’s, but it has the Gay Accent now. What have they done to you? You pick up the child from their crib, cradle them in your arms. You fumble a little; partly because your hands are shaking from trauma, partly because you’re not used to picking up an infant with such enormous titties. We’re talking quadruple D’s. You say, through tears, ‘thank the Cisgendered God Above that all of this is superficial. We can fix what that sick Trans has done to you. On the inside, I know deep down, you’re still exactly as Cis as the day we assigned you that Binary gender.’ but you were too late. I had already done my worst: i got all up in your kid’s chromosomes. Swapped some around, added a few here and there. XX? XY? Never heard of them. Now your kid has QWERTYUIOP. Some of the chromosomes aren’t even in the Latin alphabet. One of your kid’s chromosomes is now the poop emoji.

You realise what I’ve done. It’ll take the Best, most absolutely unbiased Doctor in the world to unscramble the mess i made and put your kid back into the right gender, or sex or whatever it is these days. Sure, there’s a 50-50 chance, you think to yourself, but what if the doctors put them back into the wrong one? You dismiss the thought almost as soon as it appears. Surely you can trust your own child to remain cis for as long as it lives? Surely? More thoughts flood into your head. What about my child’s future reproductive capabilities??? You let out a bloodcurdling scream that can be heard for miles. What did you do to deserve this? Everything. Cis is a thoughtcrime now.

I landed on my feet and kept going, running. Where am I going? To the maternity ward. I have a bag of baby-sized chest binders and My First™ Itty-Bitty Ultra-Realistic Strap-on Penises to distribute amongst the newborns. After that I’m going to poison the town’s water supplies with the most dangerous chemicals known to Trans kind: puberty blockers. I won’t stop, I can’t stop, until I’ve transitioned Every Baby In The World. Every day more cis people make more Obviously Cis Babies, every day more work. It’s a thankless job, but if I don’t do it, who will?

Seeing transphobic comments might leave ppl wonder who it came from, A far-wight conservative? Or perhaps a “radical” feminist?

Perhaps you’ll never tell the difference, or maybe you can see past that rhetoric and know which group it’s coming from..

Find out if you know the difference

Anyway I finally made the quiz. The was actually a p low character count of the quiz, so I had to cut a lot of the quotes down with “…” but I tried to keep the general gist of the quotes tho.

Take this quiz from a kindred spirit blog, lol
transmisogyny cw obviously

This is actually hard as fuck and puts a light to terfs’ beliefs ~🐱

I spend a good amount of time arguing with terfs and I only got 3/10

I got 5 out of 10, it seems most ppl get around 3-5 right ~🐱

4 out of 10

I got 2/10. I’ve read through numerous terf posts on tumblr and spent hours arguing with conservative men on Facebook comment threads and I got 2/10
Just take a second to think about that

I got a 50% and I was in the higher percentile

wow guys really

spoilers: that one’s a TERF answer. i was surprised too, I thought it was a quote from the actual Pope. from either his ‘transgenders are the Annihilation of Man’ speech or the ‘they’re worse than nuclear weapons because they defy natural order’ speech. a bit unfair tbh

you idiot im making fun of you

no terf thinks that

thanks​ dude i really am going to take this to heart, just thank u for opening my eyes

so you totally failed didn’t you?

Want to stop trans murders?

Want to stop trans murders?

Stop shaming men who like us, stop calling them gay when they’re not, stop watching dudes play us on screen.

Yes, it’s actually a deeply complicated and nearly intractable set of issues at the dangerous intersection of race, class, homophobia, misogyny, and economics, but the thing that most people can DO, right now, no matter who or where they are, is really that simple: stop shaming the men who like us, stop letting us be portrayed by men.

After years of thinking on this issue, listening to survivors of assault, reading the reports, talking to countless trans women/sex workers, that’s the heart of this. Straight men kill trans women partners because other people, and culture as a whole, says it’s gay, less masculine, to be with us.

So shut it down. Shut down every person or conversation that claims trans women are “really” men, every media depiction with men playing us.

If y’all have other ideas, I’d love to hear them. I’ve seen endless “stop trans murders” posts but no suggestions as to how, or any accountability.

do you guys see this shit

i really had to take a break from this post before coming back to reblog

like… it is gay, actually, for a male to be sexually interested in another male. but that’s ok… no one deserves to die for it. the answer isn’t to force everyone to deny reality and insist that it’s not gay. men should.. not be doing these “no homo” killings to begin with……………

“

Straight men kill trans women partners because other people,
“

no

hey terf? shut the fuck up. i’m in danger when i leave the fucking house because of this. did u actually have a solution to society’s treatment of trans women? or do you want to quit pretending like you or any terf are even against these killings, you gutless sack of shit?

a trans woman was beaten to death in public in broad daylight in australia this week. not to mention those of us who just go missing and don’t get news reports. not to mention those of us who are murdered and their family hides they were a trans woman in life from news sources to avoid the shame. straight men kill their trsns partners because it’s been so amazingly normalised in mainstream media. so what’s your suggestion if it’s not telling society as a whole to respect us?

and since I’ve heard from terfs that trans deaths don’t even compare to the number of women killed by their partners, why the fuck don’t you think this matters? why the fuck do you say you’re against domestic violence if you’re not willing to admit that this has been normalised for decades against trans women?

Exactly! There should be no excuses for crossdressing. It is bad if you use it to cope, it is bad if you have DID, it is bad when you are intersex, it is bad when you are a transman! Call people out, and do not be afraid to lose friends!

to be fair, DID sounds like a valid reason if u have an alter who is a woman. and using it to cope is a really, really vague statement because most people consider trans women ‘crossdressing to cope’ and i feel like it could backfire on us pretty badly. i also definitely don’t feel qualified on intersex issues to make a statement on that bit too.

i also feel like i need to make it really clear that, drag should be separated from simply dressing femme and wearing dresses. i know trans guys and cis guys who wear pink, dresses and makeup and lingerie and aren’t ever really dressing up as women. because they’re men who like cute clothes.

like, i do hate drag more than anything. because that treats womanhood and trans identities as a costume, and is always meant for humour and entertainment at our expense (and drag performance more than often relies on mocking black women specifically for humour). I just don’t want nonbinary people and men to be told they can’t wear “women’s clothes” or feminine things to look and feel good, when the majority of the harm comes entirely from intent. especially remembering that trans people have been fighting for clothes to be ungendered for as long as i can remember.

there’s just a huge difference between dressing up and being yourself, and wearing someone else’s life as a costume, and treating violence against us as a joke. because one is leading to trans murders and one is leading to people being cute and having better self esteem.

So I just heard about “Primed: The Back Pocket Guide for Trans Men and the Men Who Dig Them.” It’s the first sexual health resource written by and for gay, bi and queer trans men/ transmasculine people, put out by Rainbow Health Ontario, and it’s a very frank guide that answers basically any questions you might have about safer sex. They’ve released it for free download here.

A similar

guide geared towards trans women/ transfeminine people (though not really sexual orientation specific) is “BRAZEN: Trans Women’s Safer Sex Guide.”
