anyway while yall are logged off tumblr on dec 17 to protest tits how about you also go to a protest or vigil because dec 17 is the international day to end violence against sex workers
we’re about 160% as likely to be murdered as you are to get the clap, & about 4x as likely to be murdered as you are to go to the hospital for the flu. consider… giving a shit about those numbers, maybe. that’d be nice.
This is related but also like a larger point but why is it that people can conceptualize “men opening their legs on the bus” as like an act of oppression but once you get to trans women the bar is like… yr not affected or marginalized unless you’ve literally been murdered
Full offense but identities such as genderfluid, asexual, aromantic, queer-platonic (like wtf) aren’t LGBT. You are LGBT if you are a lesbian, gay, or bisexual. Also you’re LGBT if you’re trans. Nobody ever got killed for being genderfluid, aromantic, etc.
Bsshg, nobody can tell if you’re genderfluid unless you’re wearing a pin saying I’m genderfluid (even then people just think ya weird). You legit just look like ya androgynous and going through your emo phase. I used to call myself genderfluid and then a transboi, and then a nb girl. I was just a lesbian w/ internalized misogyny.
welp we’ve entered word for word terf rhetoric now, abandon ship
If you’re not being murdered at this very second you’re not valid uwu
Filmmaker Lilly Wachowski (The Matrix, Sense8) has painted portraits of the 27 trans people known to be murder victims in the U.S. in 2016, for an art exhibit at Chicago’s Center on Halstead. All of the brightly-colored portraits in “Say Our Names” incorporate the colors of the trans flag and are based on photos of the victims.
She began painting them last July, she says, as “an outlet of the overwhelming emotion I was feeling in the relentless waves of mortal acts of violence against trans people.”
actually. truscum, there’s already a cure. it’s conversion therapy. stop pretending cis people will ever care enough about our dysphoria to make a magical anti-dysphoria injection or whatever you imagine the Cure is going to look like. torturing us to get us to stop transitioning is always going to be less effort for them. just get it through your heads that there will be no cure other than electric shocks and psychological reprogramming
“psychiatry wouldn’t do that to us” they already do it to autistic kids to get rid of autism symptoms. after decades of looking for an autism cure it’s still only electroshock therapy and aborting autistic kids before birth. promises of autism cures have led to actual deaths. more times than i like to think about, when a parent is promised a cure for long enough and realise there isn’t one, the next ‘cure’ they try is murdering their child.
that’s why acceptance is the only way to go. acceptance will get less of us tortured and killed, no matter which group we’re talking about. stop giving cis people the idea that it’s okay to “fix” us because it will never be a good option for us, especially the children that can’t fight back.
[here are some blacklist keywords in case anyone doesn’t tag this right: conversion therapy, torture, eugenics, child abuse, electroshock therapy, trans deaths, autistic deaths, disabled deaths, trans murders, autistic murders, disabled murders, death of trans people, death of autistic people, death of disabled people, ableism, transphobia, truscum discourse. tell me if i missed any possible trigger because This Is Not a Fun Post]
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
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?
