Trans Women - Blog Posts
i like it when trans women exist. i think there should be more trans women
it genuinely disgusts me with the amount of hate that tmen/mascs go through in the QUEER COMMUNITY
so many in the same community that claims to be accepting just hate on us
trans men/mascs are so villainized and forgotten within the trans community and for what?
and the thing is,
the way they often hate on us is the *exact* way homophobes and transphobes act
i once saw a tweet saying that trans men aren’t minorities and benefit from the patriarchy COMING FROM ANOTHER TRANS PERSON
its almost as they forget that the same way that cis people dont see them as their gender ALSO DONT SEE AS AS OURS
its almost as they forget that some of us have uteruses and are currently being affected by the political climate that tr🤡mp and red states are doing to remove abortions and things that generally protect us
just because you believe that every fucking trans man thats comfortable saying afab is a theyfab doesnt give you the fucking right to be a dickhead
plus, youre wrong too LMAO
there are certain situations where someone may use their agab acronym to explain something because, SHOCKER, some people dont KNOW a better term to use that outright explains what they mean
ie: ME. when I didnt know what to use/say, i used to mention my agab!!! now that i KNOW what to say (i was raised as a woman), i dont fucking treat others like shit for NOT SAYING THE SAME THING
this isnt the fucking oppression olympics, its being aware of the things that trans people go through and being THERE FOR THEM
NOT devaluing their experiences AND the current things they may go through just fucking because theyre a man
you arent apart of the LGBTQ+ with the rest of us if you invalidate ANY of the letters. INCLUDING TRANS PEOPLE
INCLUDING SUB GENRES OF TRANS PEOPLE (ie: tfem, tmasc, nonbi, agender, genderfluid, etc)
like anyone who does this fucking sucks
genuinely
youre a shitty person if you treat another trans person like shit just because you don’t understand them
because that’s exactly like how transphobes act LMAOO
people who think that transfems are inherently "unsafe" around transmascs and that transmascs are a "threat" to transfems:
are t4t transhet transfems a joke to you?
are t4t bi, pan, poly and omnisexual transfems a joke to you?
are transfems who have transmasc family members a joke to you?
are transfems who have transmasculine children a joke to you?
are transfems who have transmasculine friends a joke to you?
you HAVE to acknowledge we exist. you can't keep pretending we don't.
i don't know how else to break it to you that there are many, many transfems who love transmascs for a lot of different reasons, but if you seriously can't take a second to consider how you're hurting a ton of transfems by shitting on transmascs, i really have no other words for you. care about the transfems who love transmascs. we exist. stop pretending we don't. we are out here and and the transmascs we love don't deserve to feel like shit. it doesn't empower transfems to make them and the transmascs they love feel like shit. stop this.
Another arcane head-Cannon I haven't seen
(but probably exists somewhere)
Trans fem caitlyn need I say more.
So there isn't much to why I think this, besides the fact I think it would be interesting to her character. I think the idea of Cait being trans brings some interesting ideas about her life.
I also think it's weird that some people say you need a reason shown in said media to head-cannon something like Transness. This specific idea, in my experience, has only been used towards people headcannoning trans women. It's always used in a hateful way, trying to discredit a head-cannon. I like headcannoning transness as a trans person myself (Demiboy he/they). (Sorry for going on a rant about non arcane related things/getting a bit controversial there. is this controversial? Idk? I would hope not.)
In the end, I wanted to share my head-cannon of caitlyn being trans cause I don't see it much, but I want to.
Starting to think it's just straight up incorrect analysis to view terfs as even viewing trans women as men, and that they hate trans women for their masculinity (and by extention being characterized by hatred for men and masculinity). Instead, i think you have to view their comments on trans women and their bodies as intentionally and forcefully masculinizing a woman, excluding her from womanhood for not fitting into white women's beauty and body standards. Many people have noted that this is similair to how black women are historically and today masculinized in society, and indeed terfs commonly attack women of color for similair things. If it is about hating men it's noticable that they don't talk about men the same way, "men" are only ever a threat if she's a woman. Any other man is allowed to be an ally to the terf movement if he's "protecting women" (by excluding certain types of woman). It's misogyny, it's transmisogyny, everything about this structurally replicates the ways women are mistreated by society generally, and excluded from femininity, just lazerfocused on targeting trans women.
Happy day of trans visibility!!
Help please 😭😭😭😭😭😭
cw: mentions of sex below cut
She makes me feel so beautiful, i always imagined being intimate would be ruined by the way my body looks but she embraces my body for the way it is, she finds ways to appreciate it in a way that i feel perfectly unique. with her, it seems obvious, of course i love her perfect body, of course its uniqueness is the best part of her. but the idea that she could feel the same way still baffles me. i love her so much
am I amab or afab? oh no you misunderstood, im actually asab (assigned sexy at birth)
As a trans girl I want breasts so I can let a cat rest it's head in them while they sleep
If you are trans I need you to stay alive.
Stay alive for every other trans person fighting, stay alive for every trans person who is no longer here, and most importantly stay alive for yourself.
They don’t get to erase us! They don’t get to take away our rights, and treat us as less than human. Don’t let them erase us, and don’t let them make you a statistic. Don’t let them win.
Stay alive
If you won’t do it for yourself, then do it for others. Do it out of spite.
If you see this, you are obligated to read, repost and tag everyone you know.
Why, why, why is are there people who believes that trans shouldn’t exist? They cannot help if they are not comfortable in their own bodies. You cannot hate them on that fact only. Trans people are still people. We all have red blood. We all need water, food and oxygen. There is no difference. We shouldn’t care whether someone is male, female or trans. We shouldn’t define people based on their gender. We cannot. It is not what they are that matters, but who.
You might think that trans are unnatural, and that’s you. There is no need to tell every one that you hate them or that you think they shouldn’t exist. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF! We don’t care about your opinion, but when you make it public ally know, it hurts. It hurts every trans who sees it and every one who supports them. Everyone deserves a chance to be who they want to be.
I don’t know who is going to read this, but I need the message to get out. Every deserves to be who they want to be. Imagine this. You are who you are, you like who you like, you dress how you like. Then, there are millions of people suddenly hating you because you want to be you. How does it make you feel? Now imagine it is you who is the one hating on them. How do you feel?
This is not a nonsense. This is real. Words have effects, and they can stay with someone for their whole life. And sometimes, the words can get too much. They might start to hate themselves. They might not. It either way, it doesn’t excuse the hatred towards transgenders. Tags like ‘trans hate’, ‘trans shitposting’, ‘anti trans’, shouldn’t exist. Trans people exist, and there is nothing you can do to change it.
There are over 8 billion people in the world, and there are about 240,000,000 people who are trans. When you hate trans, that's how many people you hate in the world. Do you want that? To hate over 240,000,000 people just because they are trans?
Ask yourself this question. Am I right in hating trans? If the answer in no, then stop hating them. If the answer is yes, then shame on you.
THINK BEFOE YOU POST!!

I’ve been going back and forth on posting anything rebloggable about Eden Knight, because simply posting something feels like…such a non-action. But it’s worse to say nothing at all, and the people who loved her clearly want her story to be known. So I’ll try.
A Saudi trans woman named Eden Knight died by suicide after her parents hired two American “fixers” and a Saudi lawyer to traffic her back to Saudi Arabia and forcibly detransition her. Her loved ones have put together a document about this tragedy in hopes that something can be done:
I feel like the cultural piece of this hasn’t get discussed, and i understand why; I’ve seen plenty of utterly sickening commentary from people who can’t be normal about the idea of a trans Saudi, but I feel I’m in a position to break the silence around this, as being a queer Arab myself, the nuances aren’t lost on me. So I’ll try that too:
Arab culture is patriarchal (like most cultures are), communal, and honor-based, which contributes to many Arab parents wholeheartedly believing that they own their children and that they need to control them to prevent any “dishonorable” behavior, even at the cost of death. This is not unique to Arab culture, and I’m really simplifying here, but this is why honor killings happen, and I think it’s remiss to not name the honor-based violence at play in what happened to Eden. She threatened her family’s honor by not adhering to the gendered role coercively assigned to her, and so they inflicted the conditions that led to her death upon her. And I can guarantee that, had her parents not had the money to hire some of their fellow monsters to destroy their daughter, they’d have recruited extended family to stalk her or found another way instead. Honor culture is self-policing.
It’s also remiss to not name the other forces that killed Eden: transmisogyny in both the United States and Saudi Arabia—the latter obviously being worse than the former, but fleeing to the former DID NOT PROTECT HER, so USAmericans can hold off from being smug about her being Saudi, thanks—and her migrant status. The State, capital-S, and its borders assisted Eden’s parents in this.
We need support networks that can actually help trans people with complex cultural/legal situations like this. We need support networks to prevent honor-based violence, which primarily impacts women and LGBT people of any gender. “Just cut off your parents” isn’t helpful when you’ve been raised to internalize this level of guilt and shame, and it especially isn’t helpful when your parents are willing to find you and abduct you to protect their image. There needs to be SOMETHING to prevent tragedies as horrific as this. I can’t say I have the answers. But there needs to be some understanding of how far this honor shit can go, how it can cross borders, and how even people who have found community outside their abusive families can still be very vulnerable to it.
I’m so sorry, Eden. You deserved the world. Rest in peace.
"terfs infantalise trans men while painting trans women as predatory" is such an annoying take because, yes part of it is true. but terfs have also called trans men "the final solution for women", they do also paint us as predatory! and they do infantilise young trans girls in really gross ways! they just rarely mention what they think of older trans men, most of their public-facing rhetoric around us centers on young people.
the more accurate statement then is "terfs tend to infantilise younger trans people while painting older trans people as predatory", with the following caveats: - being neurodivergent in any way lands you in the "younger" category in their minds because they're ableist fucks. - anecdotally i've found this is not necessarily reflective of age when it comes to public figures specifically, and more of how recent their coming out as trans was. - they will gladly break this to score points in public debates, though if you're in a position to get it out of them you'll find their actual thinking aligns with it. this is a well-known strategy called lying.
and i feel it's worth noting both because the predatory "tropes" around trans men are slightly different from those around trans women, and because the infantilisation of trans girls is something i rarely see talked about while being just as gross as anything else here.
remember kids the answer to the question "why do trans people always target WOMEN & WOMENS things?" is "because its what cis people care about"
if you want to demonize a group, make them Scary (oft masculinized) Predators who are Coming For Innocent Women (objects to be protected). the "trans issue" crops up where cis people MAKE it an issue.
"men's healthcare" is an exclusionary term for healthcare needed by a lot of people. "father" should not be our only term for people who can impregnate others. but its so much easier to rally the troops to protect the weak, innocent, defenseless property, so thats where the money is.
oh also: this applies to stuff like "why are there no BI GAYS?" which is based in the same logic. there ARE and have always been bisexual gay men, and there continue to be. the only reason you have only heard about bi lesbians is because gay men's spaces just are not as defensive about Invaders To The Identity, even if that prejudice still exists on some level sometimes. this is such an annoying thing to hear because its said like some intelligent statement and its just biased information
“Johann Scheff, trans lady SW arrested in 1932 for nicking women’s clothes from a department store in Berlin.” We’ve always been here. Not even book burnings can truly erase it.
the reason why you can't define gay as "man loving man", or define lesbian as "woman loving woman", or define trans as "person who has dysphoria and identifies as the 'opposite' gender " is because all queer identities defy being defined in a reductive, singular statement. the entire point of these identities are that they cannot fit inside the rigid boxes of what gender, sexuality & expression "should" be according to our societies.
people with these identities will always break the rules. we will always blur the lines and exist outside of the boundaries you set around us. you can't try to force us into boxes and hard definitions all over again, we intrinsically defy them no matter what.
