I really wish more people would pick up on the terms transfeminized and transmasculinized.

Transfeminized = someone who has been treated as transfem (regardless of whether they are or not), particularly in an oppressive manner; people who suffer from transmisogyny, regardless of whether they consider themselves transfem.

A few examples:

Transmasculinized = someone who has been treated as transmasc (regardless of whether they are or not), particularly in an oppressive manner; people who suffer from transandrophobia, regardless of whether they consider themselves transmasc.

Some examples:

How to use these terms in a sentence:

This is especially helpful as a replacement for TME/TMA, and the way the terms have been bastardized beyond recognition by TIRFs.

the tme/tma binary is internoirist, transandromisic, and exorsexist.

[pt: the tme/tma binary is internoirist, transandromisic, and ecorsexist.]

pericis black women (or, really, any woc) can and have experience(d) transmisogyny because of the way their features compared to eurocentric beauty standards are seen as masculine. this means tranvestigators think they're trans - often trans women.

the tme/tma binary doesn't take into account the multitude of intersex experiences. as an example, someone who may present more androgynously will experience transandromisia and transgynemisia.

also, the definition of transmisogyny is the overlap between misogyny and transmisia, so transmascs and trans men often do experience transmisogyny. and even if that wasn't the definition, non passing trans men often get mistaken as trans women and belitted for that by transmisics who "can always tell".

the tme/tma binary leaves no room for nonbinary umbrella people. it turns things into black and white, when for our nonbinary siblings it can be much different.

stop using the tme/tma binary. (transfeminized/transmasculinzed works much better if you need to. link here.)

some green reminders!

disclaimer: the third sign is not a full list of other possible labels, just the ones i could fit on the sign/could find through other’s posts. highly recommend looking into it yourself.

edit: by the way if you wanna put these anywhere on your own blog or something feel free to do so no credit needed

once deltarune finishes we should start a speedrun category called “citation%” where you try to encounter all dialogue and flavor text that refers to Kris with they/them pronouns

"Go outside" not in the sense of "be in nature to reset your brain a bit" but in the sense of "go and look at how the world actually operates when you aren't in a bubble of people with your shared thoughts and beliefs every so often to remind yourself of how privilege actually operates in the real world."

"Trans men aren't victims of real transphobic violence, they're just seen as mentally ill girls (and therefore safe)" is a belief that only exists if you have never seen how women with schizophrenia are treated. Look at how conservatives SNEER the words "mentally ill" when talking about LGBT people they want to murder. Them calling you "mentally ill" is not a sign they want to protect you and help you "recover" like you think it is due to spending time on sites that are generally more positive to mentally ill people. When conservatives call someone mentally ill, they want that person locked up and forcibly medicated for the rest of their natural lives at best, and killed at worst. Go outside. Watch.

this is one of the reasons why I keep saying that everybody needs to read up and learn about fundies and christofascist belief systems. listen to stories from people who escaped those communities, especially the women and queer folk. the modern dominant culture is based on these people's belief systems. you cannot effectively understand transphobia until you understand how christian fundamentalists think and act and feel. because they're who makes the system and sets the culture, very deliberately so.

rhetorical games are their favorite! they have built entire ecosystems on gaslighting people into a lot of things. and it's so difficult to explain to anyone who hasn't experienced that firsthand, because these people act kinda like the cheshire cat. they speak in metaphors that look like normal words. they are the experts of dogwhistles. when they express what looks like pity to an outsider, it's not pity. it is a deep contempt and hatred, more often than not. it is a desire to do violence upon that person, more often than not. it's confusing because it's supposed to be. they have to bend themselves into knots in order to justify things in their heads. "love the sinner, hate the sin" is a great example. and unfortunately it is sometimes very effective brainwashing and people researching it fall victim, too. so like. take care of yourself. but listen to people who have gotten out of these cults and offshoots and the horror stories from people.

can i be honest if you create an accessibility tool for a niche disability and then decide to simply drop it off the face of the earth and refuse to hand the reins to someone else, make it open source, accept donations, ANYTHING???

i just think thats an extremely fucking shitty thing to do.

sp shutting down for me was like if one day they announced that walking canes would be gone entirely in two months. and if you relied on a cane well. sorry! and if someone else wanted to make a cane after the two months they would have to start from inventing the cane from scratch. and then when you're upset about losing the cane people start being like well it's ok! theres an alternative to the cane called ankle brace! and it's like ok i get it that helps some people but not me. i need a cane.

hmmm...

There's "water sickness" for drinking too much water... it's interesting how there isn't a similar type of sickness for Dr. Pepper with Cream? Just something to think about...

do you think she spent the entire night looking for them
