This propaganda is a successful TERF project to infiltrate trans masculine spaces and discourage transexuality by diluting the meaning of "trans" until it is meaningless. Gender abolition is an aspirational goal, but I didn't cry myself to sleep as a 6 year old begging God to abolish gender.

This is also why I'm so determined in never ceding an inch to theyfabs/PCOSes/transmascs appropriating transfem language. Because once it becomes effectively meaningless, only variations of AMAB/male become the ones we can use to discuss about ourselves and our community.

I think it's underdiscussed how much "listen to marginalized communities" rhetoric on the left is *not* actually listening to marginalized communities, but rather tenured academics who have made marginalized communities into mouthpieces for ideological projects

To their defense most cis people never interacted with transsex ones. It's thus unsurprising if they identify 'trans' with the non-transitioning cissexed folx. For this group, being trans is mostly a socio-political stance mainly divorced from material reality & analysis. In other words: a costume 😕

Thanks, normie "all bodies are beautiful" feminism

Thanks, woke-queer feminism
for flooding the trans community with transphobic theyfabs who hijack the movement from within

Thank, radfem/terf feminism
for campaigning to take away our HRT and civil rights and for constantly monsterizing trans women

This is one of the consequences of diluting "trans" to mean nothing. Now even ppl/groups who claim to be "trans-friendly" will think first & foremost of the 20 theyfabs who hang out at the local queer group, over the 1 trans woman who in comparison is just a rounding error.

The purpose of a system is what it does. Mainstream academic queer theory is exclusionary, if not outright eliminationist towards transsexual women. Intent and origin of what it was and was supposed to be doesn’t really matter in the face of what it currently is and does.

One of the reasons I hypothesize why trans mascs / men often struggle to fully embrace their masculine selves is because this in fact amounts to losing status as (potential) victims. It's then unsurprising that they try to emphasize their AFAB status as a way to retain its associated social power.

Of course, everyone is free to genderfuck and spit at whichever gendered system that not only oppress us, but others as well (!). But we must firmly understand that queer theory is fundamentally tied to a (mostly AFAB) cissex-led revolt against the patriarchy, not fundamentally for people like us.

Although rarely recognized as such, this is spot-on in my experience as a transsex woman: Non-transsex-centered queer theory is fundamentally divorced from empirical reality. It amounts in practice to transsex erasure (or compels it), beginning with *a compete epistemicide of our lived realities*.

Non-transsexual queer theory has been a disaster for neurodivergent people and transsexual people. Transsexuals would still be their "gender" or neurological sex after the complete abolition of patriarchy, or if one of us was the only human left. The performance is the closet, not our gender.

That is kind of the point comes with a lot with a lot of unique problems and experiences that non-transitioning people don’t have and we need a language to discuss it amongst ourselves and prospective transsexuals honestly without couching our language for people with a different exposure surface

lmao I was wondering "why are they being so kind and sensitive wrt this UI decision? (Let us know if you preferred the old way)" Turns out, the banner was just added by Microsoft (this is edge) to redirect users to pressure google into putting them back, instead of just reverting them themselves

A banner in Edge devtools invites the user to give their opinion on the removal of the tab icons. It links to a Chromium issue with hundreds of comments and upvotes, created by a Microsoft employee, asking to bring back icons

Imagine if 90% of trans women's activism looked like this. Imagine if the top priority of every TW's space was promoting masculinity; AGAB-adherence; and dismissing HRT. The analogue of this is what's ACTUALLY happening in "transmasc" spaces. 12K likes on the original drawing btw.

Original quoted tweet: a drawing of a girl in clearly feminine clothing/makeup, shouting "I'm not a girl!!"

Quote-tweeted by me: a drawing with the same overall style, but it's a gentleman in his 50s, classic style, saying "Genuinely how it feels being a butch transfem: We AMABs should not be precluded from expressing masculinity. Not everyone wants HRT. I fail to see any necessity for transition. This in no way make me less trans."

Exactly. "Body positivity" is constantly used to vilify transition and HRT/FFS (& more generally, femininity) The extended woke-queer community would love the idea of a "transfem" community that is entirely composed of masculine bearded men ✨but with pronouns✨ (the only thing that matters to them)

Reddit post from /r/4tranistan

body positivity is a psyop to deny us the right to transition

whenever I see something about "body positivity" its never about ugly or disabled people, aka people who have unconventional features they cant change.

It is always either about fat women (and when I mean fat, not skinny fat or slightly chubby, more like morbidly obese) or trying to downplay a trans person's dysphoria.

The times I see "body positivity" thats trans related is usually one of three ways

It is made to "support" us but actually presents as literal third gender freaks instead of our actual gender. Its not just severely dysphoria inducing and humiliating but also huge optics nuke.

It is said by TERFs. TERFs believe we suffer from dysmorphia and that dysphoria does not exist, some of them even changing the term from gender dysphoria to "gender dysmorphia" to invalidate our condition. (I hate using the word "invalidate" but you get the idea.)

Sometimes sneedhons and tumblrpoons will actually use it to invalidate one's dysphoria by claiming "oh your so hecking valid and cool with insert dysphoria inducing term"

It has also been used to deny us transition because it is believed we just need to "love ourselves" instead of transitioning despite the fact thats not how dysphoria works.

My point is I believe "body positivity" is actually toxic positivity because it either does more harm than good or is used to deny us transition and our right to live a normal life.
