the ideas βthe stigma against menstruation is rooted in misogynyβ and βnot all women experience menstruation and not all people who menstruate are womenβ can coexist, and the same idea applies to most health and body related feminist issues
all my followers are reblogging that post on howΒ βif youre a trans man on t for longer than 5 years you will get uterine cancerβ andΒ
1)Β the link is a huffington post article,Β Β
2)Β im not a trans man but ive been looking and cant find any sources on long-term testosterone use having an increase in cancer rates,
and 3)Β im not saying this is fearmongering trans ppl but it sure is cispicious
trans men on t: just get your junk checked up by a doctor once a year, you donβt ever need a hysterectomy unless your doctor finds something concerning. if your doctor or anyone else says you MUST get a hysto after a set amount of time, DONT BUY IT
long story short theres not enough information on long-term effects of hrt to definitively say βthis is going to give you cancerβ especially when theres a five year timer on it.
the other post had about 4k notes last i saw – which is hundreds of trans people who now believe transitioning is going to potentially kill them in a few years. please be more critical of what βtrans informationβ posts you post and reblog, because this is straight up cruel
Hormones to cis people are treatment until it comes to trans people, and then itβs death warnings.
binarized Socialization arguments are like universally terrible
i remember this one woman came into my inbox in response to a post i made, Instructing me that many of the trends iβd put out there about trans womenβs childhoods were also applicable to gay menβthat she thought i wasnβt aware of this, having had an eight year gay boy phase, is also p laughableβfinishing it up withΒ βSURELY you donβt believe gay men arenβt socialized as men?β
and like idk sis, if youβre suggesting that i donβt think gendered socialization can be neatly circumscribed by two oppositional and quasi-moral categories, yeah. you pretty much Got Me.
that and itβs super weird that people with these same subscriptions will be the first to argue that their womanhood is determined (sometimes solely) by their being gay and contoured to that experience and, like, thatβs fair, but for some reason they seem incapable of extending that idea to any other gendered subjectivity. hmmmm
If your bad hot take is tme people are being oppressed the most in the trans community by transmisogynists you should at least make it compact enough to read
