starting to see the cryptoTERF-y sharks sniffing around for blood in the water and feeling very uncomfortable about it

I'm currently unaware of any public posts trying to campaign towards the tumblr transmasc community, but these people tend to work in private servers and forums not always accessible to the public anyways. but there has been a sharp rise in accounts using TERF rhetoric and coming into transmasc discussions as if they're "one of us". but then they introduce certain red flags that start the alarm bells for me. idk, it's a certain way of speaking and certain beliefs being espoused that make me wary.

I suspect there's a deliberate campaign going on right now. please be cautious of what posts you interact and uncritically agree with at the moment. I think there's an effort being made to recruit people and I don't like what I see. these people do not care about you. they are manipulative as fuck. they practically groom people into their groups, chew them up, and spit them out.

anything encouraging you to view trans women as male or male-adjacent should put you on high alert anyways, but especially in this current rise of global fascism. stressful circumstances are the easiest time for cults to capture new victims. these people prey on that exact thing.

to my transmasc followers: trans women and transfems are not your enemy. they are not lesser than or intellectually naive. you are not an expert on the trans woman/transfem experience just because you have experience as a misogynized subject. you do not know more about what it is like to be a trans woman or transfem than a trans woman/fem herself. you do not necessarily know more about misogyny than a trans woman/fem does, and she does not necessarily know more about misogyny than you do. you have different perspectives on very similar issues. do not try to mentally prop yourself up above that of trans women/fems. you are equals. you are peers. you are not more or less than one another. that means you, too, are fallible and capable of prejudice. do not forget that. do not abandon others just because you feel hurt and unheard.

Tim Hortons is doing a Harry Potter collab and like. Whatever. I quit going there years ago because the food and drinks are bad. But it's annoying me off how people keeping boiling down folks boycotting Tim's to "People are mad about things JRK said on Twitter" and "People are mad because they don't like Harry Potter". I heard the former stated as the reason on the radio the other day. Jesus Christ, no. People are mad because any money JKR gets from this promotion will be funneled straight into lobbying against transgender rights and access to healthcare in the UK. Very tangible real world harm. It isn't about the ideological purity of the stupid wizard donuts.

Things that I firmly believe are ableist

1: "npd abuse" "BPD abuse" "cluster b abuse"

2: using "do you lack empathy" as an insult

3: "oh you have BPD? My friend has NPD so I think you'll get along!!"

4: "you and your partner work so well because you have BPD and they have NPD"

5: people who DON'T have BPD calling it "beautiful princess disorder"

6: "I want a BPD girl to be obsessed with me so bad!!"

7: non cluster b people using the terms "psychopath" and "sociopath" as an insult, ESPECIALLY on other people who don't have a disorder.

8: using "narcissist" to describe someone who's just self-centered

9: "you have ASPD? You're probably gonna become a serial killer in the future lol" (actual thing I have been told. Multiple times. By several people.)

10: "you have the same disorder as (horrible person) so I don't trust you!!"

im reading about cowboy phrases and sayings and like 95% of them are just solid life advice

like idk how accurate these are but somehow they manage to be both peak shitposting humor and genuinely helpful suggestions

fuck self-help books and therapy, all i need to make it in life is my trusty Cowboy Tips™

From observation, another one would seem to be ‘if you have to get off your horse to do it, let someone else take care of it’

“chocolate guy” is currently shilling for harry potter so i better not see yall post his shit anymore. anyone who engages with that shit especially for money is scorched earth as far as i’m concerned.

Came right up when I searched it, unfortunately

because of the new tv show. and it’s only going to get worse as we get closer to the show’s release. take notice of it — who’s advertising, who’s talking about it, who’s encouraging you to watch it. it’s going to keep happening. there’s going to be more chocolate guys, more nicholas hoults, more kiera knightleys.

take no shit. give rowling an inch and she’ll take a mile. i don’t care how much you like or don’t like someone — if you see them interacting with harry potter positively in ANY way, drop them. unfollow, block, pretend they don’t exist. scorched fucking earth.

and most importantly, be loud about your support for transfems. be transfeminists. be mean about it. fight with people about it. block liberally. download shinigami eyes. read transfeminist theory. provide material and monetary support for dolls who need it, especially the trans women of color in your communities. show them that they’re loved. don’t look away.

i am of the sincere belief that if ur on ur computer a lot you should visually customize it to high hell and back not just for funsies but also because it has literally made me less depressed before. its kind of like how rearranging your bedroom is good for your brain, yknow. i do stuff like this every few months
