Thinking about all the times in queer spaces pre voice training that I was told that my voice was scary or triggering. Not even when I was angry just when I was excited and loud with a deep voice. How did anyone think that was okay to say to me

Also thinking about all my transmasc friends who transitioned and suddenly felt too terrified to be as loud and flamboyant as they were before out of a fear of being threatening and predatory. Breaks my heart every time I see it

If you can only feel safe by policing and shaming other peoples bodies then that is your fucking problem, not mine

every other week i see a post about british and american cultural differences where nobody knows how to be fucking normal and never grew out of the online need to escalate shit to win an argument and i’m just going be honest you all suck. shut up.

responding to americans making fun of british people with edgy comments and “jokes” about school shooting statistics and racism and fatphobia and police brutality and the awful state of the healthcare system isn’t funny. responding to british people making fun of americans with “ha ha TERF island” and other disturbingly gleeful comments about how unsafe this country is for trans people (as if there aren’t literally trans people living in britain) and ignorant racist and classist jokes that people who actually live in britain have told you are racist and classist and calling people “subhuman degenerates” and “ugly inbred freaks” isn’t funny. why is that so difficult for some of you to understand. grow up and get a fucking grip.

trans men are allowed to like their cleavage. trans women are allowed to like their bulge. no one has the right to tell someone they have to hate a part of their body to be trans

i keep seeing tags on this post like ‘terfs take note’ but this post was primarily about how trans people police other trans people, especially trans women, for their relationship with their body. we are fully capable of being hurtful and transphobic to members of our own community

“are you amab or afab???” im APAB (About to Punch A Bitch)

anyway unfriendly reminder that asking people their agab either irl or online is really invasive and rude and you are not entitled to that kind of personal information lol

i would just like to add that this post was NOT made as a criticism of trans women asking people to clarify whether they are trans and/or experience transmisogyny, but in response to people who harass non-cis people by asking them this question and similar as if to say “yeah, but what are you really? ;) ;) ;)”

i am not a trans woman myself, so i can’t and won’t try to speak on their behalf, but i think we can all agree that if you decide to discuss your personal opinion on issues which affect any minority group then you should be willing to be open about your own relationship to those issues and whether they affect you personally (if it’s safe for you to do so), especially if someone asks you to clarify that, and especially if that person is themselves a member of the group affected by what you’re talking about.
