ive said it before but. every time im talking with cis people about trans stuff and i bring up “hey you notice how most hatred towards trans people is directed at transfems?” they reply “yes. of course. obviously.” i’ve had cis guys unprompted bring up “yeah conservatives’ primary target, among queer people, is currently transfems” unprompted. everyone knows it. if you do genuinely think there’s no difference between the way transmascs and transfems are treated, perhaps you should… touch grass… go outside… talk to a normal person… idk…
Is frustrating how all language for trans women is misappropriated by people who aren’t trans women so much that they lose meaning. “T4T” meaning trans women in lesbian relationships with other trans women and then getting misappropriated into “term for straight trans people to still feel gay” is the most personally upsetting but it’s everything. Trans Lesbian or transbian, tranny and every other slur for trans women specifically, hate groups and legislation against us specifically gets framed as being against everyone somehow. Hell, even “trans woman” now is having the same thing happen, it’s crazy I mean neurodivergent.
Trans women as a group are so unbelievably mistreated and ostracized in all contexts that we repeatedly invent our own support structures and language and then people outside either try to eradicate it or rob us of it.
Sometimes just out of unthinking envy, and sometimes because people like how broken and meek and isolated and exploitable trans women are made to be and can’t stand the idea of us having solidarity and kinship ans love that doesn’t depend on them. That we don’t have to grovel for.
