On the benefits of having a closeted trans woman for a husband: a thread

On the benefits of having a closeted trans woman for a husband: a thread
Greetings, ducklings. In this thread I'm going to tell you how to benefit from other people's transfeminine socialization, like you deserve.

Whether you're a stealth trans woman, a cis woman, or a closeted transmasc passing as a cis woman, you deserve your very own closeted trans woman husband to put you on a towering pedestal and make her life about pleasing you for years.

Pass as a cis woman. You must do this or you'll just end up with a cracked egg who wants help finding hormones and paying for surgeries.

Cherchez l'oeuf. Anyone who says it's impossible to spot an egg is lying because they want their own closeted trans woman husband and don't want competition. Pick an egg with enough social skills not to embarrass you, but not one who's really popular. Pick one cis men tolerate for her overdeveloped skills or abilities. But make sure she doesn't have close female friends (if she does, you'll have to pry her away from them).

Tell her how tired you are of men and the way they treat you. Tell her you feel like she gets it, like she really understands you. Lovebomb her like she's a traumatized woman who never got to be a girl -- but not too much. You don't want her doing gender exploration, you want her feeling like she has tenuous access to womanhood through you.

Tell her she'll never really understand what it's like for you because she's a man. Tell her your period cramps are unimaginably painful today. It reminds you of being catcalled at fifteen, and she's just too male to get it.

Alternate 3 and 4 in whatever ratio gets her to overcommit to the relationship as quickly as possible. You're going for a u-haul here. During 3 phases, her male friends are toxic and make you feel unsafe. During 4 phases, your girl friends thin…

You are going to get so much hate for this statement. But yeah I have to reiterate, the qualification for being trans is wanting to be trans.

The best example, René Eddo Lodge called out a number of feminists in 2017 and those feminists went on to discover that actually young feminists are on the wrong side of an issue that's way bigger than racism! Transphobia allowed them to imagine themselves as new suffragettes and the true radicals

There's 2 reasons fading celebrities choose hate rather than trans rights 1. It's popular with the media and political establishment who they rely on for work 2. It's a good proxy war to oppose the younger generation who are coming up stealing your work

Someone asked me the other week why we should allow mentions of Palestine at trans protests. It's because we have to situate our movements as part of an international resistance to fascism

See also "We can't have kink at pride what would the children think?" They'd think that if they have kinks themselves their parents will still accept them. You know what ruins your innocence? Learning that your parents think you're gross and unacceptable. Funny how nobody worries about that.

In 450 AD Justa Grata Honoria asked Atila the Hunn to rescue her from a marriage to a boring man and he rampage through Gaul to rescue her. Had he taken the Roman capitol of Ravenna we'd have had so many sexy stories about this its fundamentally a great plot for a bad romantasy novel.

Ive had quite a few parents explain to me that they have Harry Potter stuff for the kids because they're too young to understand. To understand what? That the family supports trans people? That actions have consequences? That trans people exist and are having trouble? I don't buy it

I generally focus my attention on intra-anarchist theoretical disputes, but posting on Bluesky will send hordes of liberal sealions into your mentions. So I wrote a thing for them on the unique speech constraints anarchists face in political "debate": humaniterations.net/2026/09/19/a...

Burnham was better than starmer but so much more depressing because even very left wing people were getting excited by him and just accepting him banning trabs people from the toilets. You learn who to trust at times like that

No, please remind people. The bad part that I don't think Americans are prepared for yet is the power of absolutely rock solid institutional transphobia coming from people who do it politely and convince progressive people that the trannies are just being silly. Don't accept it in the USA

Trans rights or else. We're gonna learn from what happened in the UK and not let it happen here. If our votes matter and we're going down, we're taking everyone else with us. There are at least 6 million trans adults in the United States. Dismiss us at your fucking peril.

I think libfem willingness to tolerate psychological sex research that's obvious paedophilia advocacy was what caused me to become intolerant of certain forms of liberal trans allyship around sex research.

"Enjoy the camps" is a succinct summation of the current moment trans people find ourselves in. People who insist they're allies also loudly proclaim they won't lift a finger to help us, will say nothing when we're attacked and even tacitly agree with the attacks, and still claim moral superiority.

Alexandra gives Labour a special mention here Increasingly, Americans are looking to Burnham and his ministers’ decisions as either a warning to heed or a model to follow And the picture is grim: Democrats are choosing to sacrifice the rights and safety of Trans+ people for personal gain

Eleanora's own summary of the events do not state she was banned for that. It mentions "the accompanying media interest". It's possible but there are other trans women in roles like this. Kat Bristow, who was suspended from this role for being trans in 2021, thinks it's not that

The Bayeux tapestry is on loan and as far as I know there are (rightly) no talks about a permanent return to the UK - it has been in France since at least the 15th century. But given the current Bayeux-mania in England, is it really fair to deny similar pleasure to Greece? Or Ghana? Or Benin?

No, since the supreme court ruling we have seen a decrease in single sex bathrooms because they are just not legally viable. There is some planning guidance kemi badenoch pushed through that says the opposite but, like. Come on.

This is what the election in the uk was like. I think they do it because your average progressive man does not believe that trannies can think. There's one guy who had years of me complaining about Labour transphobia. When Labour kicked us out of toilets he said "nobody could have predicted this"
