And History - Tumblr Posts

i see a lot of posts going around by transmasc people saying shit like “we need to decenter ourselves in conversations about transphobia and terfs, terfs are inherently transmisogynistic and that’s the important part” and as a transfem: no the fuck you don’t and no the fuck it isn’t. in the past 5 years like 90% of transphobia coming out of the “gender cr*tical” crowd has been aimed directly and squarely at transmasc people. the whole hrt debate thing is EXPLICITLY about saving “vulnerable young daughters”.

center yourselves. please. you’ve been taught not to for your entire life, don’t take that perspective into your trans identity. erasure of transmasc issues is a huge problem in the trans community and it comes directly from allies idealizing, lionizing, patronizing and (dare i say it) fetishizing transfem people
