me, vibrating out of my skin : hey can I talk to you about this piece of media real quick? I pinky promise I'll be So Normal about it, like there's no reason to be concerned that this will turn into a three hour long monologue. Like I Prommy that I'm not gonna be a freak about it.
Controversial opinion: Trans women are not "male women".
Hope this helps!
Turbo-nuclear take: "Trans woman" is not a different gender from "cis woman".
Take at which we can achieve nuclear fusion: "woman of color" is also not a different gender from "cis woman".
If women of color are so "masculinized", if we are so Indelibly Associated with Maleness, then why are we hypersexualized and treated as disposable sex objects by a white-hegemonic patriarchal culture? Does our fetishization as "highly submissive" register as particularly male to you? Does the proliferation of beauty industry trends fixated on commodifying our features and making them surgically available to white women seem like we are being distanced from womanhood?
If "trans women face so much pressure to change their bodies", why do clinics stonewall and refuse to prescribe us the treatment we desperately need, and why do doctors UNDER-PRESCRIBE HRT to us, or refuse to cover top surgery for trans women?
Think, Tumblr, think!
I will state, plainly, that this site is so transmisogynistic, even its acceptance of transfemininity is transmisogynistic.
Tumblr hates women. Hates women and womanhood. It views being a woman as boring, un-hip, conformist, regressive, and 'patriarchal' or 'male gaze'.
Every time I see a post that is transfem-positive, it is almost always couched in casting trans women as Male Women, as avatars of gender-ambiguity, as a "masculine womanhood".
Best of both worlds, eh?
You are The Misogyny Site, and even your supposed 'acceptance' of us is poisoned swill.
And you will never unpack or do anything about the rampant transmisogyny on this site for as long as you are dominated by a culture that insists on womanhood as something to abhor and distance yourself from at all costs.
Sims is great
when you get so invested in the transfem headcanon you forget everyone thinks she's a cis dude
