It's always interesting to see just how deeply lesbians have been parsed as de facto trans men and gay men have been parsed as de facto trans women across history, even extremely recently. And this association hasn't exactly gone away.

Hey hey! Could some of my trans gal friends help me and my daughter out? She wants some gender affirming stuff and I don't know where to get anything but trans masc stuff. Y'all got links you could dm me?

And I'm not even talking about trans girls here, cis girls should be playing sports with BOYS. It's good for them. It's a game for children, you're being insane about this.

Trash@trashxdiscourse.bsky.social · 18h ago

"Biological males" is such a scare word meant to invoke the image of a huge man dunking on a little girl and they use it because saying "I don't want girls playing with boys" makes you sound insane. They're children, Greg.

Then add womanhood to that equation. Non-Black leftists commonly find themselves to the right of Black leftists & male leftists to the right of woman leftists bc as beneficiaries of status quo their lives don’t depend on them considering things Black or women or queer or trans leftists do.

Non-Black leftists say ‘no war but class war’, which, while true, is used to disregard that race & class cannot be decoupled, defaulting leftist spaces to ones that seek a form of worker solidarity that maintains preexisting racial hierarchies, keeping Black people vulnerable & voiceless.

Sean@swichael.bsky.social · 13h ago

What is the difference between being leftist and specifically a black leftist? My understanding is that being on the left is by definition being in support of the liberation of ALL working peoples of the world, so I figure that would have already incorporated black identities by default

apparently this is still a hot take, after all this time, but a LOT of transfems seem to still approach intersectionality of trans people as additive, as in trans men have one oppression trans women have two oppression therefore, trans men oppression < trans women oppression but like no

another example of "all woman are presumed to be trans women until proven otherwise"l these people are going to end up defining a woman as someone with a certain level of fertility and some absurd ratio regarding "birthing hips"

Sophie Molly@sophiemolly.co.uk · 2d ago

Gender Critical are still hounding the woman, because she doesn't meet their very narrow definition of woman. Extremist behaviour!

I love being told im "treating women poorly" for [checks notes] stating that people misogynized at birth and taking on manhood have a unique experience of transphobia that should be taken seriously. 🤔

Gem@gemglowsticks.bsky.social · 2d ago

I can't believe I'm getting mansplained what mansplaining is by a trans man. Oh wait. Yes I can. They're a man. SMDH look in the mirror and realize how poorly you're treating women

I wonder if Judaism is attractive to some trans gerim because it has a traditional cycle of mourning and celebrating that treats both as equally important. The main US trans holidays are "we exist" and "you killed us", so it feels like there's interesting synchronicity

People talking about Brianna Wu, like it's all right wingers and Jules Gill-Peterson didn't write a whole essay blaming nbs and "non-transitioners" right after the SCOTUS decision

I cannot stress enough that the Supreme Court did not rule against trans health care because of non binary people. Be serious.

Nonbinary people are more likely to be denied access to healthcare because of medical gatekeeping. WPATH only finally acknowledged our existence very recently and took their time recognizing that, yes, most of us need trans healthcare because we are, in fact, transgender.

Look there are lots of moral reasons to support nonbinary trans people but on a PURELY practical level medical transitioners are like 0.5 - 1 percent of the population. Like our odds better if we're 3 times that? Welcome NBs and make sure their issues are out issues and vice versa.

For those wondering what the fuck is going on with this: This idea, that non-medically-transitioning enbies (or, just enbies at large) threaten medical access for trans people in general, is a very common transmedicalist canard. They know it's abhorrent to us. They usually mask their arguments.

Tbh this is closer to mansplaining than anything I've said-- you're explaining something to a marginalized person in a condescending, inaccurate and oversimplified way, without regard to expertise. You assume that due to your gender position I should be less credible, and my insights are dismissed.

Gem@gemglowsticks.bsky.social · 2d ago

That's because it doesn't, babes~ You are affected by mysogyny and you're propagating that misogyny right now by trying to man-splain your manly oppression which is just so cute btw keep that up (jk don't loser)

Unsettling gender as a trans person and receiving violence (transphobia) is going to change in form based on the way and context in which that trans person is unsettling gender, and unsettling reproductive control and the power hierarchy from below creates a different looking structure

Transmasculinity is it’s own intersection in part because it simultaneously contains being misogynized at birth/youth, reproductive control, taking on manhood, and undermining the stability of gendered power dynamics. The problem is that we don’t have words for the particular and peculiar hatreds

tbh this is basically the same argument I saw against misogynoir: "What is the unique nexus that isn't covered with racism, sexism, and living in misogynistic society? etc etc" The unique nexus is that the /combination of multiple identities/ alter the form of violence in ways that are irrevocable.

Luv-Lee@ickycreature.bsky.social · 3d ago

What is the unique nexus youre describing? That isnt covered with transphobia, sexism, and living in misogynistic society? In talking specifically about “transandrophobia” all of talking points seems to be transmen talking about experiencing one of the above things, and centering it on-

Just because cis men don't experience systemic anti-masculinity doesn't change the fact that transphobia is objectively altered by sexgender for trans men. If trans men's' oppression isn't fundamentally different, why do cismisogyny, exorsexism, transmisogyny, or homophobia exist as terms?

Luv-Lee@ickycreature.bsky.social · 3d ago

-Transmen are oppressed for being men ei- transmisandry, is inaccurate wording because there is no systemic “misandry”. Men are not being oppressed for being men. Transmens oppression is not fundamentally different from cis women, nonbinary, trans women, or cis queer men.

Trans men suffer [systemic gendered violence 1] and [systemic gendered violence 2] but it’s bad to coin a word to describe the unique nexus of two specific oppressions…….. Wait, what’s intersectionality?

Luv-Lee@ickycreature.bsky.social · 3d ago

weird “also experience a gendered transphobia-“ is not talking about transmisandry- i think more accurately is described by this- “Transmen suffer under systemic transphobia and sexism,— but no one is oppressed for being a man.” Quoted from this article devonprice.medium.com/transmisandr...

Its genuinely a good phrase and I don't understand why more people dont use it. Especially those people who see it as some sort of insult. Its far from it, it gives people a far fuller picture than just straight does.

May “Bunny” Peterson 🦄@goddessblade.bsky.social · 3d ago

“Cishet” never seems to have come close to being as common in parlance as “straight” and it’s partly because the common view doesn’t care about the distinction.

Í have a suggestion...

Can they individually gain authority by playing the game stealth, and use it to abuse others? Yes, it could happen. Can we individually abuse each other? Absolutely the fuck yes. But as a whole? Systemically? No. None of us have carved out a gender hierarchical category above the bottom.

Trans men cannot oppress trans women in the same way that cis men oppress cis women. I'm sorry. Cis men's oppression of cis women extends from reproductive oppression. Trans people break that whole paradigm so are all on the bottom of the hierarchy together and cannot meaningfully oppress each other

This is what institutional anti-transmasculinity looks like

"Just because cis men don't experience systemic anti-masculinity, it doesn't change the fact that transphobia is objectively altered by sexgender for both trans men and trans women." "This is just like sending rape and death threats and doxxing women."

For example, anti-trans people, when talking about "birthing people", routinely mock it as trans women seeking inclusion in something that we are physically incapable of doing. This isn't ignorance; it is intentional. It is designed to erase trans mascs and recategorize trans man as trans women
