why does transandrophobia have to suck. y'all fucking misguided me. I wish trans men could speak in community about our specific issues without shitty transmisogynists and confused idiots (to be clear including myself in the latter) making shit worse. I didn't want some meninist shit I'm not oppressed for being a man but I thought y'all were talking about like. the specific flavor of transphobia stirred with the honestly regular flavor misogyny we transmascs experience (it's not, but in the sense we're 'seen as women'). Maybe I'm just not physically transitioned far enough and what I'm feeling is just social dysphoria but like I'm not going to fucking call that trans misogyny yk??? there needs to be some way to talk about this and how it layers on top of toxic masculinity (because when you're trying to be a man and you weren't born with the equipment that shit is even more unavoidable) specifically without being AWFUL to trans women. why does everything circle back to being awful to trans women???!!!? I feel so alone being transmasc already. I don't even know how to talk about this.
I'm very frustrated because of the continual and frankly ridiculous treatment of transfems on this website that's being discussed heavily as of late... like I don't know. I wish we could just communicate. All of us. Maybe that's the optimistic autistic in me. It feels like everything gets ruined in a way. I remember getting an ask about "circumgender girls" all the way back in like 2017 and it made me so uncomfortable. Everyone who sent anyone that disgusting copypasta should be exploded by car hammers. And yet I mourn the flawed idea, wish it could just. Not be this way.

Did y'all hear what they're teaching kids in school these days?
Well, my best friend's aunt's boyfriend's brother's florist said that they're teaching kids that *gasp* there are more than three states of matter!! This simply cannot stand! I learned in basic science that there are only three states of matter! They cannot be allowed to spread this misinformation around impressionable young minds! What if they start identifying as plasmas? Soon there will be no more solids or gasses. Just plasmas and liquid crystals and whatever shit they're coming up with now.
This is the future liberals want.

This take pisses me off.
You wanna know why? Because it implies that Sierra's harassment of Cody was okay because she knew that Cody is trans. It sounds like this. "Hey Cody! Sorry for harassing you <3 I just knew you were transgender. It's so cool that we fell in gay love now!"
It's apart of the mentality that some people have where making things gay makes it better. No. Making Cody transfem and still putting him in a romantic relationship with Sierra ignores EVERYTHING that he went through with Sierra. Why would you want that for him? Coderra is bad. It's as simple as that. Unless this is your fanon Sierra where she is completely different from canon, coderra is still bad because of the way Sierra treats Cody.
I'm not trying to be transphobic or homophobic. God no. That's the last thing I want. I believe in the lesbian Sierra headcanon myself. You can headcanon Cody as transfem. But having Cody and Sierra still be together, after everything Cody went through with Sierra, I have to ask why? Why would you have Sierra act like that around Cody and then say that she just knew that Cody was trans the entire time and they fell in gay love. LET CODY FIGURE THAT OUT ON HIS OWN. Sierra "knowing" that Cody is trans just makes is worse. Why is she harassing Cody? Because she knows that he's trans? Because she wants him to come to realization? No! Let Cody figure that out on it own time, and let him come to terms with it on his own!
And can we PLEASE stop bringing up Cody whenever we talk about Sierra? Anon, I was on board with that take until you brought up Cody and said they fell in gay love. Why would you say that? Why would you look at World Tour, the way Sierra acted around him, how she talked about him, and then say that they fell in gay love? Just because you made it gay now doesn't mean it's better. It doesn't make it cool. You took a toxic, bad ship and then made it queer. That's all you did. You took a straight toxic relationship and then made it into a queer toxic relationship.
I'm all for lesbian Sierra. God, I had that headcanon for years at this point. But can we PLEASE not make this about Coderra. Coderra is bad for both of them. It's bad for Sierra, because it only allows her to keep acting like that around Cody, and it's bad for Cody because it excuses all the abuse and harassment he received from Sierra. Anon, if you are talking about your own fanon Sierra where she acted nothing like the way she did in canon, PLEASE make it clear. Because you sending that, it doesn't sound good. It doesn't look good.

honestly i dislike the words ‘transmasc’ ‘transfem’ ‘transneutral’ ‘transneumasc’ ‘transneufem’ ‘transfemmasc’ ‘transneumascfem’ and, if there’s more, those too. they imply that you transition to a binary masculinity/feminity/neutrality/mix of those, and many trans people i know don’t.
the male body i want is not inherently masculine. even if i want a male body, i don’t actively want to dress masculine. transmasc and transfem are just new words to reinforce the same male = masculine, female = feminine binary again. my little brother (amab) has long hair and a sidecut, wears ‘masculine’ clothes, and still keeps getting read as a girl because he’s short and has a rather high-pitched voice (because he’s a kid!). not even a masculine presenting amab person is inherently masculine.
in the end, my transness means that i want a male-looking body, but not neccessarily a masculine one. and, apart from that, i as a whole am not and do not wish to be masculine. i am neither only masculine or only feminine—i am both—but if i had to choose just one? then i’d be transfeminine. i enjoy dressing mostly fem, appearing mostly fem, looking mostly fem. in a male-looking body. but i cannot call myself transmasculine for the wish of a male body, if there is no masculinity i am transitioning to.

[Img ID: post reading "it doesnt matter if we're feminine or masculine or androgynous. they'll want us dead anyway. THIS POST IS ABOUT TRANS MEN AND TRANSMASCULINE PEOPLE. DO NOT DERAIL. MAKE YOUR OWN POST." /end ID]
I think actually we've reached terminal selfishness and self-centeredness when "look basic transphobia. THIS IS ONLY ABOUT SOME TRANS PEOPLE. MAKE YOUR OWN POST" is considered acceptable behavior, like
1 this is the reblogging posts site. if you don't want it "derailed", turn off reblogs
2 it's not "derailing" to talk about experiencing the exact same type of oppression for the exact same reasons. like, this is tagged transandrophobia. y'know, the word coined to talk about oppression UNIQUE TO or MORE TYPICALLY EXPERIENCED by trans men and mascs? Like I know we're all super sensitive to "it's just transphobia" because bad faith actors use it to shut us up about our own oppression, but even if transandrophobia is ANY transphobia experienced by transmascs, this one is SO not unique and SO universal that calling other trans people "derailing" for daring to acknowledge they experience it is honestly transphobic itself
3. Are you being transmisogynistic or exorsexist it both? Do you find it offensive that a group even more erased than transmascs (trans people who are neither transfem nor transmasc) might "take the spotlight" by experiencing the same pain as you? Are you just mad that transfems suffer from hypervisibility (a key factor in transmisogyny, no less) that you're wrongly viewing as some sort of privilege?
Like this is the logical end conclusion of exclusion, separatism, and the idea that it's immoral or even just dickish to talk about SHARED experiences of oppression. Even those who aren't convinced that there's no overlap and oppression fits into neat little boxes based on your actual identity (and that people with multiple identities experience each oppression as discrete separate forms of violence OR a new unique form of oppression that no one else ever does) are like "I have the right to shut people out of a discussion of their own pain and trauma just because *I* experienced it for THIS reason
Like, I draw the line at someone saying anything more exclusionary than "oh I didn't name all groups that experience this because this was a more personal vent post, but please share your experiences because this isn't exclusive to us".
Idk I can't even articulate what's so gross and off-putting about this. But whatever, this intersex transneufemmasc is making their own post so they aren't (implied) transandrophobic by, idk, being transmasc but also other things and experiencing this same thing based on those other identities, or acknowledging that those other identities share these experiences in the absence of transmasculinity.
Also, nontransmasculine/non-trans-men experience transandrophobia, you fucking asshole. Transneutral, abinary/atrinary, neutrois, maverique, and other trans people that are seen as transmasc by bigots experience no material differences in the oppression they face. Their experiences are almost identical to yours - except they have to either be misgendered to be acknowledged or get erased. What functional difference do you think there is between an afab person pursuing what you forcibly label a "masculine" transition facing this exact shit, and you, other than that they respect your gender and you don't return the favor. Or you do, only to shut them out of a conversation that they have less of a voice in than you do.
That's just fucking transphobia. Fuck off.
If you're being so defensive over past trauma you bite people BEFORE you know they're unsafe, maybe you need to get a fucking grip.
