Remember that "what do cis allies think is trans supportive but is actually transphobic?" going around yesterday? These fucking signs. "I don't care what sort of wacky alien gender you are" is transphobia.
For anyone wondering how transmisogyny is going on other sites, tumblr's CEO just misgendered a trans woman in an official statement about why he had banned her, threatened to contact the police, and started DMing random people who called him liars to complain.

@benjanun_s
I know you love reddit relationships things, well I saw this on tumblr, and it's a bit more wholesome than most of your browsing, but I thought of you.
#StopSISEA
Trying to destroy anyone's income during a global pandemic is horrifying, but especially targeting a community so widely made up of marginalized people. It doesn't protect sex workers in any way, it just further hurts them. Call or email your congresspeople.
@OhHaiDRol
@JustinMcElroy
I feel like we kind of knew that from the podcast already, what with his sister and all that. But yes I love that Justin said this, gods.
@hovermyr
also like, as exclusively a commander player, I massively prefer taking cards not designed for commander and twisting them to work than every card being spoonfed "this is for this commander deck ^_^" obvious and kinda generic value engines.
Cis people, look, I get it, you don't want to miss out on things, but don't make a joke part of the pronouns in your bio. Just don't. Trans people can. But if you're cis, you have to understand that joking about pronouns is *the* transphobe move. If you're an ally, don't.
He's moved from calling her they, to performatively going "oh sorry I didn't know I'll use 'this account'" and being told that's bad too, to "she" (correct), to suddenly randomly "it" (she uses she/he pronouns) lmao. Actual fucking parody. Legal is shitting and crying rn 100%
@hovermyr
no I wanna get high and cuddle tbh. I mean being taken advantage of is cool too but like. when I get high I am just like pressing my whole body into girls begging for snuggles
@benjanun_s
@AlexandrasFolly
nothing says "I don't hate trans women" like talking about excluding all trans women for something that's "only female presence"! :)
@AzulCrescent
This is how I've tried to explain how utterly life-changing it was to cis people before, because for so many of them they really don't get it. It changed my life from every day being a further slide to something alien and horrible into the reverse - every day I become more me.
@benjanun_s
She's literally not even correct, the whole "yuri means porn GL means pure" thing was made up entirely by western weebs and is incomprehensible to any Japanese yuri fans or mangaka lmao.
Oh fuck important context I forgot. She was told repeatedly that her account was banned for sexually explicit materials, not for harassment, directly contradictory to what Matt is now saying.
@OpheliaDrowned_
@badambulist
Usually I see cis people have the opposite misconception. They think that HRT will uhh... do nothing? they think you need a boob job to get tits and FFS for your face shape to change at all, they think you need lotion to make your skin softer, etc., they imagine it has 0 effect
@benjanun_s
My favorite fake one was "my (gay) roommate's heart monitor goes crazy when she sees me (I'm also gay)" because yeah it was prolly fake but it was *cute*
I feel like the fact that CP2077 was a mess on a technical and design level has *completely* overshadowed how utterly disgusting it's repeated transphobia, racism, and crunch were, which are imo much bigger issues than "video game not good D:<"
Holy fuck cis people need to be stopped. Just got my peer review back from a cis woman telling me my (entirely hypothetical - the project is just for the proposal for a research project) research project isn't sensitive enough to trans people.
I'm. Trans??
@dark_cosmo
Seriously it's the stupidest fucking thing in the world when str8s are like "ohh we're oppressed by the queers" as if they don't control everything.
@benjanun_s
I think if you ever say a trans woman has groomed someone unless you have evidence of them isolating a child for the specific reason of sexually abusing them in the future with hard evidence you should Minecraft yourself
I decided to go ahead and just post that fic I'd been writing, instead of agonizing over editing for years. It isn't perfect, but I'm very proud of it. It's MeiHua/slight FuKiMei Honkai fanfiction about Fu Hua being a subby vampire, so if that sounds fun
@boba_witch
God I hate the memes about "ironic" use of slurs in gamer communities, or calling slurs "gamer words" because it's just *more* ways to remove the actual impact or any admittance of accountability, and it gets used by "actual" bigots (I mean, the ironic use is also bigoted).
@Nymphomachy
@Kalindlara
Jesus this really brought some weirdos out to the comments. Lotta TERFs apparently love crisp rat, which is strange cause aren’t they supposed to be pro-LGB?
holy shit the level of stupidity of the idea that fucking a dude is "being used to masturbate"
First of all, if I'm getting fucked, and my partner is using me to masturbate, that sounds fucking kinky and awesome, like I'm tied up and she's just grinding on me to completion.
@wontgoon
So interesting how many people openly suggesting killing both OP is liking. What an interesting decision. Love advocating for violence against imagined trans women because they dared to suggest "men" isn't an axis of oppression.
@checkria
@badambulist
The fun part is watching 15 year old "any pronouns! :)" in bio people like shit from people named things like, I shit you not, hitlercunny1488. Like.
@LeafTilde
(not to mention that the game has like 6 different bigotry scandals in its creation, from its transphobic marketing to its racist gang concepts to the ableist literal intentionally-seizure-inducing pattern of flashing lights it shipped with, but since when have gamers cared)
@_maiqo
I appreciate your apology and your repeated interest in protecting your trans fans, but honestly, this person just has a vendetta, and literally nothing you do will satisfy them or their squad, it's insane. Other trans women have told her plenty how ridiculous she's being.
@boba_witch
It's so ridiculous how gamers hate just... any attractive woman, while at the same time being the ones who commodify them and make it actually matter to be attractive. I hate it so much.
@badambulist
Also like. "It's dangerous for men to be in women's wards, so we'll create a ward where men and the most vulnerable women in society are there together"
The dark crimson skin on freshly-forged metal flaking and vaporizing away to reveal molten orange heat beneath, moldable and ready to be shaped to its purpose, is absolutely my gender.
@benjanun_s
I would say "die so they can performitively sob over our graves" but apparently our deaths get policed too now, cause we're not misgendered posthumously enough, unlike the poor definitely real trans men who are.
So, if you're not reading the Sister's of Dorley, I want to state, that it is the best thing I've ever read and nothing else I've ever read has ever made me feel the things it makes me feel to the degrees it makes me feel them. Go give Alyson money about it and read the story.
There's a deeply alarming amount of people whose interpretation of Marcille involves "and obviously her behavior is partially hiding an attraction to Laios she'd never acknowledge" and like. Jesus Christ shut the fuck up.
@hovermyr
Ah, like Hogaak (iirc?) where it was broken for the combo, and then people realized they could disrupt the combo, and then they realized it was just broken for just. hitting face.
(before my time but that's what I've heard)
@girlcel_
If I was a mantis girl I would not be wasting my time with talking around hornet
I'm just saying there's historical basis for mantis girls having affairs with other girls
@InstantSunrise
Now you see me (2013) has a joke about one of the officers dressing up in his wife's clothes, called "tr*nny Tuesday". That always stuck with me for recency.
@AmyZenunim
@Kalindlara
you can't forget that she proposes with a sword and turns into a goddess and frankly what more could you want out of a girlfriend.
@benjanun_s
I've seen several posts along the line of "waiting for an f!handler voice mod because only women are allowed to call me a dog" or something at this point
@binaryAegis
ah, yes, of course she's a voracious top in the bedroom. I'm assuming Gracewood is a dude? so it's just standard guy fantasizing about "sexually aggressive uber top trans girl with 0 bottom dysphoria who will dismantle me"
straight people are not allowed to make useless lesbian jokes anymore. I'm revoking the privilege. they don't use it responsibly, and it's their fault in the first place, so *no*.
@An_Aria_Blooms
Everyone going "all labels group people in with their oppressors" but the difference here is that 'monosexual' for example is primarily deployed against lesbians or gay men but not against straight people, their oppressors. It'd be like only ever using cis to describe cis gays.
He has now followed her over to this platform to sexually harass her and state publicly that 1) she was punished on her main for sexually explicit content on her alts & 2) that her transition timelines weren't the violations (they were marked as explicit content by tumblr)
For anyone wondering how transmisogyny is going on other sites, tumblr's CEO just misgendered a trans woman in an official statement about why he had banned her, threatened to contact the police, and started DMing random people who called him liars to complain.
@badambulist
@VyriaDurav
I honestly feel like I'm still learning how to actually work toward things or express agency in my life after it - I truly did not give a fuck to, unless circumstances (school, my mom, etc.) would make it more inconvenient to not do the thing than to do it.
@Katabassist
Wait do people hate picrews now or something???
Picrew pfps has *always* been the 'probably trans' signal to me, who's hating on them. Damn.
and wait is the justification "you're not comfortable showing your own face"? Cause like no, I'm not, thanks. And I won't.
Just saw in a thread about fragile masculinity and cruelness of cishet men around being perceived as queer “thank god I don’t have a penis so I don’t have to do this.”
Fuck off. Stop making penises the basis of manhood. Stop casting trans women as implicit in our own oppression.
@benjanun_s
I was literally regularly sexually harassed and assaulted for half a decade by being the chubby, unpopular, “weird” ““boy”” in school it’s just delusional.
Your peers can tell you’re trans, or autistic, or whatever, long before you can. Somehow. And you will suffer for it.
If you ever think "man I hate the transmisogyny on twitter I should leave and go to other social media" - it's all like this. the same discourse is happening in parallel on tumblr rn. Someone has been sending this literal sexual harassment to random transfeminists recently.
@Salamander18th
@sjflemwriting
Personally I'm a big fan (read: pissed as hell and feeling moderately betrayed) of hbomb joining in on the mockery. This guy was supposed to be the model of a supportive cis ally? Who is literally driving harassment towards trans people for the crime of... not liking a thing said
@badambulist
This made me imagine a narrative forcefemme looping self referential game with you as a narrator and I made myself melt into bed basically
Cis artists who draw girls with dicks but don’t make the easiest fucking overtures towards trans-supportiveness like putting their pronouns in their bio kinda suck. If you’re profiting off of trans bodies then show you support trans people.
@Spdrcstl
You know something I specifically hate about this? genderfuck is a literal term within queer studies, and it's about going against social norms and power structures and stuff, not... fucking just doing capitalism against trans people.
@benjanun_s
"I love you girlies"
> says "true" to someone who directly says that transfemme people can't make good representation and directly implies that we're all sex crazed lunatics
@_maiqo
I mentioned it on patreon I think but I literally do this to my gf and she doesn’t like sleeping with me in anything but a very large bed because of it. I cannot help it I just wanna cuddle. I’m not even awake at the time!
Apparently doing a project about the ways that trans peoples' sexualities change over their transition is insensitive to trans people. Because they don't want to think about what happened before transition. Damn, someone should have told me, a trans woman, that.
