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……………

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?

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

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

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

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.

“the SEX in HOMOSEXUALITY refers to biological sex”

buddy…. …. sex is a verb

amongst humans it should only ever be a verb. u should ask yourself why u want to say ‘Females’ when ‘women’ suffices. lmao keep your animal husbandry terms the fuck away from me, satan

sex is a verb and a noun. why are you lying? i don’t want to say “females,” i’m forced to because if i just say “women” you will act like i’m talking about males as well.

Did this person seriously never take a basic science class in grade school lmao “sex is a verb” my ass.

buddy. i did. science defines male and female as sperm producers and egg producers. are we going to pretend that’s like, okay? u don’t think ‘woman’ should apply to humans as an infinitely more respectful term than producer of ova

‘this person criticises fucking highschool biology? obviously they haven’t read it the education system is flawless and unbiased’

see i was taught growing up that calling a woman a female is a one-way ticket to getting slapped. it’s well documented as a misogynist microaggression. it’s the language red-pillers are using to dehumanise women.

i’m not saying we must rewrite all medical literature. i’m just saying, i should be able to tell the difference between MRAs using misogynist language and TERFs using trans-exclusive language. i can’t believe i even have to type this but calling women female outside of medicine has always, always been a mark of disrespect in the english speaking world

also…. adjective. it’s meant to be a fucking adjective like in ‘female human’ are you straight up saying Females? like ‘that female over there’? that’s disgusting language. do u call ur mother a female? i haven’t heard ‘a truly inspiring female’ ever. or do u say woman like people who don’t sound like a 19th century misogynist but you know just keep defending your right to sound hideously off putting

hello children

sapphickpop:

a lot of young teen lesbians on tumblr r aligning with the terf ideology without knowing properly what it stands for. so as an Older Lesbian with some 6 years of Being Out Experience i wanna clarify some things for you.

nobody is forcing you to be attracted to anyone

nobody is saying that if you aren’t attracted to [insert a trans woman name], you’re automatically transphobic and a terf. nobody is saying you have to have sex with trans girls if you aren’t attracted to them. just as nobody is saying you have to be attracted to every cis woman. and nobody is saying you have to have sex with gay girls you aren’t attracted to.

we are only asking you to respect trans women as women

and that’s really the least you could do! trans women (trans lesbians and wlw in particular) are just other girls out here trying to survive in this hetero world. and it’s hard being a lesbian already – but being a trans lesbian is so much harder. don’t make these girls feel even more alienated, don’t contribute to the hate that is turned against them.

“but i don’t wanna have sex with someone with a penis”

if you end up never sleeping with anyone w a penis, that’s okay. being a lesbian isn’t just about who you have sex with. it’s also about who you love, who you’re attracted to and who you date. and one day you might find yourself falling in love with a trans girl.

if that happens, just like in any relationship, you can negotiate your limits in sex. there’s no point in saying “i am not attracted to trans women” – because it makes it seem like trans women are inherently so much different from cis women, makes you sound like you think all trans women look/are the same and like you think of women as walking genitals. which is pretty misogynist!

so please just don’t listen to terfs. protect your trans sisters because they need it and they will always be there to support you if you support them too.

there’s TERFs in the notes of this trying to explain ‘penis privilege’ as ‘no one is trying to legislate against penises’.

trans women’s penises are absolutely legislated against. bottom surgery in many places is legally mandated for trans women to be recognised as women. A few states in Australia tried to change the law just a few months ago but was shot down by conservatives. globally, it is the norm for psychiatrists and gatekeepers to only ever allow hormones and even legal name changes to trans women who are dead set on bottom surgery in the future. bottom surgery, in most countries is very rarely covered by health insurance and usually costs $20-30k AUD. This is a measure designed to do two things: uphold the sex binary and keep trans women poor. Sex work is often the only way a trans woman can make that money in a lifetime because we’re locked out of most workplaces. ‘penis privilege’ is a statement that can only come from someone who knows absolutely nothing about trans women and how the patriarchy treats us. please google how legislation affects us next time
