lime-peaches666Reblogged queeranarchismclonedroidsFollowBecause I feel like kids of color don’t hear it enough: domestic abuse is not a part of your culture. A lot of us were raised with the idea that “its normal for wives/children to get hit! it helps them learn– only white folk don’t get beaten when they misbehave”. That’s not true, white people aren’t the only ones who deserve a safe and abuse free environment. Black and brown people can and do have loving families. If you’re in a situation where you are enduring abuse and people use your culture to justify it, I want you to know that what they’re telling you are lies.dragon-in-a-fezas someone who studies this: statistically speaking, child abuse (including “spanking”, because all forms of hitting children are abusive) is pretty much equally prevalent in households of all racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds. so yeah, don’t let people use the “culture” excuse on you, but also, don’t believe others are experiencing it less just because it’s less normalized in their culture to talk about it. we all gotta work together to fix this shit.25473,71967,903

The UK just banned all care for trans kids and is now conducting an "evidence review" into HRT for trans adults and now the biggest DIY HRT web resource just went down.Trans people need to learn solidarity yesterday, we need to be ready to organise together and set aside anything that we need to in order to get our shit sorted out. Cis people need to take it seriously that the fascists are trying to completely extinguish transess from existencestars-belowSolidarity or 'sit down and shut up?'genderkoolaidCrazy thing to say when it was immigrant trans men & masculine queer people perceived female who were the targets of a forced labor program and sexual violence in ICE detention. Queer and trans immigrants allege forced labor and sexual assault in Ice facility: ‘I was treated worse than an animal’At the South Louisiana Ice Processing Center in Basile, detainees say they were forced into hard labor – and sexually assaulted and stalked the GuardianThree current and former detainees who spoke to the Guardian said that, between 2023 and 2025, they endured months of abuse from an assistant warden named Manuel Reyes and his associates. In their complaints to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice), the detainees also said that they faced retaliation for reporting the abuse to authorities, alleging that Reyes and other staff beat them and denied them medical treatment. “I was treated worse than an animal,” said Mario Garcia-Valenzuela, one of the detainees. “We don’t deserve to be treated like this.” Garcia-Valenzuela, a trans man detained at SLIPC, has alleged that, as part of the unsanctioned work program, Reyes forced him to move heavy cabinets and cinder blocks, and to clean using industrial-strength chemicals without gloves or protective gear. When Garcia-Valenzuela complained of injuries from the work program, he said, Reyes and his associates forcefully stripped him naked and mocked him. Kenia Campos-Flores, who is trans and non-binary, told the Guardian that they suffered from persistent migraines and chest pain after exposure to cleaning chemicals they were made to use during unofficial, overnight work shifts. Campos-Flores also alleged in a complaint they were persistently sexually harassed by Reyes, who entered their dorm and stole possessions including their boxers. Another trans detainee, Monica Renteria-Gonzalez, complained that a stripper chemical he was told to use to clean the facility floors seeped through his fabric shoes and burned the skin of his feet. On more than one occasion, while Renteria-Gonzalez was bent over cleaning, he said, Reyes came up from behind and inappropriately touched him. The assistant warden also told Renteria-Gonzalez he was watching the detainee through security cameras, including while he was showering. A fourth detainee, identified by the pseudonym Jane Doe, is a cisgender, queer woman who said that Reyes forced her to perform oral sex on him on a “near daily basis” between February and May 2024, threatening to kill her if she refused, according to her complaint. [...] “This was a sadistic late-night work program,” said Sarah Decker, a senior staff attorney with RFK Human Rights. “It was designed to target vulnerable trans men or masculine-presenting LGBTQ people, who [Reyes] coerced into participating.” [...] Garcia-Valenzuela had fled to the US in 2014 from Mexico, where he was tortured by members of a drug cartel. “I have no choice, that’s why I’m fighting,” he said. “Because I know that as soon as they deport me, I’m going to be handed over to the cartels and I’m going to be tortured and killed – ripped into pieces.” But in SLIPC he faced a new kind of horror. He alleged that on more than one occasion he was told to move heavy metal filing cabinets back and forth across a room. When he struggled to lift the furniture, Reyes would taunt him, he said, saying: “If you think you are a man, I’m going to treat you like a man.”And no one in the community seems to be interested in bringing it the fuck up. Even a post which starts off by talking about forced detransitioning under ICE! You'd think this would be the perfect example of this kind of violence in action, but for some reason people don't seem to think these people make good enough victims for the cause. Why is that?At a time where reproductive rights are also being drained away, where there is very clear targeting of people's ability to control if they are pregnant, is it really so much to ask that we don't start talking about trans men's ability to "financially and socially defend themselves" as if that means jack shit to the brown undocumented trans men being used as slaves and sexually assaulted by federal employees specifically because they are trans men."Focus their energies on protecting the most vulnerable" the majority of people I see who talk about reproductive justice forget trans men. The majority of people I see talk about 99% of social issues forget trans men, much less nonbinary people in general. When exactly are we allowed to focus our energies a population that has a 51% lifetime rate of sexual assault across races, and which goes up to 71% for Native trans men? A population that, no matter what study you look at, is paid less than cis women (also see here)?"Relatively privileged"? Are you fucking kidding me? Do you have any idea how insanely hurtful and straight up misinformative that is to say, in these circumstances?The callousness this shows towards trans men is just unconscionable, and is highly suggestive of a lack of knowledge about the violence trans men face as well as a lack of openness to questioning ingrained ideas about transmasculine people. I don't mean this as an attack but this is a very clear example of how people internalize transmasculine erasure and repeat it uncritically as fact. We cannot tolerate this rhetoric. I'd like to once again highlight this HRW report, specifically the section “"Butches Get Punched”: Violence Against Masculine-Presenting LBQ+ People” in “This Is Why We Become Activists”:"Unless they present hyperfeminine, butches don’t have access to the job market. You will not be considered if you don’t wear nice women’s clothes. If you set up catering, you will get told, “I am disgusted; a woman who thinks she’s a man is cooking for me.” So butch lesbians normally have an assistant, or their femme partner if they have one, who is more feminine-looking to run the front so customers don’t know a masculine-presenting person is cooking behind the curtains. Many of us become sex workers [due to lack of job opportunities].… But then when police raid brothels and homes, the masculine lesbians get treated “like men.” This means more forceful handcuffing, kneeling, and stripping their shirts off." – Rosa, lesbian and sex worker rights defender El Salvador [...] While gender expression is thus less explicitly criminalized than sexual orientation—the same project reports 66 countries that criminalize same-sex relations between consenting adults —LBQ+ people interviewed for this report repeatedly named gendered discrimination against masculine gender expressions[238] in particular as the catalyst for a lifetime of economic marginalization, discrimination and harassment at work, psychological abuse, and physical and sexual violence. Their accounts point to the need for deeper research and analysis of how masculine gender expression by LBQ+ people increases their risk of exposure to various human rights violations and abuses. Some reports on violence against LBQ+ people (explored below) have treated gender expression as a signifier of sexual orientation or gender identity, limiting knowledge production on how presentations of masculinity are themselves policed and violated.This kind of attitude gets trans men is exactly what is described by this report as "limiting knowledge production on how presentations of masculinity are themselves policed and violated." It's just not right and its not remotely accurate. It can and does get trans men detransitioned and killed, and then those victims ignored and forgotten by the very people who claim to be acting purely out of a desire to focus on the most affected. The insistence that trans men don't need specific, focused attention and concern is exactly what creates the circumstances for their vulnerability!If anyone wants to know more I'd recommend starting here and here.#dont forget that five trans women came forward because she sexually abused them#and she then admitted to it and joked about being a sexual predator to trans women28917,85620,570

I also don't have compassion for women like Eugenia Cooney who didn't care about the predators in her community and continues to fetishize her eating disorder as she's actively dying in front of her often underage fans. I also have no compassion for EDTWT users who actively post fat people to their pages to mock them. I'm not gonna woobify a grown ass person for their eating disorder when they're also shitty people. I'm not gonna tolerate intolerance just because they're sick. It's "don't speak ill of the dead" but the bastards are still fucking alive. Fuck that.razortouched answered:Damn if only you had any of this energy for the cis men in power that also encourage eating disorders, such as the multiple men who groomed and abused Ariana Grande (not excusing her racism) or whomever is enabling Cooney (I dont know much about her so can't speak to that). Anger at their racism and their other problems is warranted but I only ever see people have this level of anger at women who do problematic shit. I NEVER see any of y'all this heated about the men in power who groom these women or established these systems of beauty norms in the first place. Its not woobifying to recognize that while they're making shitty choices, anorexia is a harrowing and misunderstood disease that has the highest mortality rate of any mental disorder.If you can't muster an modicum of sympathy for the human beings suffering from these disorders, can you at least direct some of your anger towards the people actually responsible for the root causes? 4423

lime-peaches666Reblogged razortouchedbabeddel"transfeminists are trying to divide the community!" and the attempt to cause division in question is just.... asking trans men and transmascs to be conscious of their own transmisogynistic behaviors/beliefs and like, pointing out tangible evidence of them having privilege over us by virtue of not being transfem? how are we causing divisions when all we're doing is asking you to try not to contribute to our oppression? are you not the ones actively dividing the community by forcing us out of trans spaces with your transmisogyny and refusal to listen to even gentle criticism about the way you talk about and behave around your "trans sisters" that you claim to care so much about? it's always "protect the dolls" until we tell you that you're the ones making us feel unsafe in the first place, then you have egotistical meltdowns and compare us to our own oppressors. the divide begins and ends with your refusal to listen to us when we try to speak. babeddelremember what i said about egotistical meltdowns? yeahfishpilledit is true, though. studies show that trans men/mascs do face the highest sexual assault rates, and it is a fact that they make up the lesser portion of political figureshttps://victoryinstitute.org/outforamerica2026/https://www.thetrevorproject.org/research-briefs/sexual-violence-and-suicide-risk-among-lgbtq-young-people/arra-techFailure to acknowledge v-coding, so worse than worthless.Idk why there aren't more trans man politicians, but probably because they choose not to run?babeddelwhether there are more of us in politics or not doesn't mean shit when we get paid less than trans men on average and even in relatively "liberal" countries like canada, a whopping 30% of trans women have been denied employment solely on the basis of their gender in the last 5 years. consider for a moment what our overall unemployment rates might look like because of this. as for your cherry-picked sources on sexual violence, i raise you v-coding and the fact that studies indicate that almost 50% of us have been or will be sexually abused in our lifetime. sexual abuse of trans women is not only enabled but rewarded by society - it is quite literally baked into the justice system in the U.S. thank you for proving the point made in my post though.waterlilyworldis it common for people to not read the studies they use as sources?we as trans people all have incredibly high rates of sexual assault, and not one single moment of loss of sexual autonomy is acceptable whatsoever, trauma should never be compared, it is all shit. but just like people bring up trans women having higher rates of nonsexual violence on a regular basis in conversations about trans people as a whole (to note: the study you linked here says trans women are four percent more likely to be physically assaulted, whereas the gap between trans men and trans women in the same study in regards to sexual assault is seven percent) this too is necessary to understand specifically what our communities are facing, and the likelihood of us facing them. according to the 2011 study ‘injustice at every turn’ done by the national center for transgender equality, trans women were shown to be ten percent more likely to be assaulted in prison or jail, two percent more likely to be assaulted by police, eleven percent more likely to be assaulted in shelters, and five percent more likely to be assaulted in the workplace. do you know what all of those places have in common? they’re public. yet in study, after study, after study, after study, after study, including the one you linked, trans men have higher lifetime rates of sexual violence, with one of these showing a gap as large as seventeen percent between us and trans women, which denotes that said violence is happening to us in private. that does not mean it is not happening. there is nothing but horror to be had at even the concept of v coding, but that is not something that should be used, nor makes sense to use, when speaking about lifetime rates of sexual violence in the overall trans community.speaking of the overall trans community, that hrc study on the wage gap says in the very first paragraph of methodology that this study should not be used to represent the entire lgbtq community. which you are explicitly doing. i again, can only imagine you must not have read your own sources.if you were to have looked into this topic further perhaps you would have found this study done using the data from the 2015 u.s. transgender survey that expands on the nuances at play regarding transgender men and women and our incomes.if you’ll notice, this study found that transgender men are more likely to work part time, and in the study you linked, they only included full time work in the data.i do appreciate you posting that canadian study though, i have been looking for data on sexual violence in the canadian trans community for ages, and that really helped me out!143683

lime-peaches666Reblogged queeranarchismgenderkoolaidFollowAnonymous asked:The transandrophobia brainrot has hit tiktok hard. There's a sound going around right now that uses the T slur in a reclamatory way, but whenever a transmasc person uses the sound people lose their minds saying it's transmisogynistic for them to use that word. But when cis male drag queens use the audio it's a slay.genderkoolaid answered:My answer to those people is Get Kate Bornstein'd:Tranny. Many people don’t know the history of the word, they assume it was an assigned hate term or slur along the lines of the “n” word. That’s not how it happened. Tranny was invented by us in Sydney, Australia in the 1970s where drag was a big deal, and still the best drag shows ever are in Sydney, Australia – they’re amazing. So a lot of trans-identified women who were assigned male at birth did drag, that’s how you made your living. And so they were transsexuals, transvestites, drag queens, and they were all doing drag to make money. They all bickered amongst each other who is better than who, “Well the drag queens are better,” “No, the transsexuals are better.” “You are all freaks, we’re better.” And on and on and on. But they worked together and they were family together, so they came up with a word that would say family and that was tranny. In Australia they do the diminutive, that’s how they come up with words. So tranny. I learned the word in the mid-1980s, late 1980s from my drag mom in San Francisco, Doris Fish, who was the city’s preeminent drag queen and she’d come from Sydney. And she schooled me in this word tranny, she said, “This way it means we’re family, darling.” “Thank you mama.” [...] So we used it and we were trannies together. And F to M was just beginning to start, the trans men were just beginning to become visible, Lou Sullivan was a neighbor of mine around the corner, and he was the first big out trans man, wrote his book. So trans men and cross dressers . . . cross dressers were also family. Transsexuals, we were all trannies and that felt good. That got into the sex industry and became a genre – there was tranny porn, there were tranny sex workers – chicks with dicks, she-males. [...] And, my only guess is that people who . . . because the only way they would have found out about the word is if they were watching tranny porn or having been with a tranny sex worker and then hated themselves so much that they turned it into a curse word. So it’s not really technically correct to say we’re reclaiming a word – it was always ours. So, many people mistake the word for the hatred behind the word and, in my generation, and I’m sure in future generations of trans people, tranny is going to be a radicalized, sexualized identity of trans in the same way that faggot is a prideful identity in the gay male community – not all gay men are faggots, but those who are are proudly fags and those who are dykes are proudly dykes within the lesbian community, trannies are proudly tranny within the transgender community. Does that mean we can’t call ourselves that because some trans woman does not want to be called a tranny? No. I’m going to keep calling myself a tranny. To the trans woman who gets called tranny, I’m sorry – as soon as . . . you’ve got to look at why you’re getting called tranny and if you don’t pass, you’re going to be read as a transgender person and then you fall back on the cultural view of trans folk which is freak, disgusting, not worth living, we can hurt you. It has nothing to do with the word, it has everything to do with the cultural attitude. So the word has stirred up a shit storm, but it’s not the word.^ From this interviewFour weeks ago, Bear posted a call for submissions on his blog. In the interests of keeping the call as open as possible, we agreed to include as many trans-identities as we knew, so we used the word "tranny." And that's where the activist shit hit the postmodern fan base. People have been pissed. Here's their argument: FTMs are co-opting a word that belongs to MTFs. The word "tranny" belongs to MTFs, reason those who were hurt by our use of the word, because it was a denigrating term reclaimed by MTFs—ergo, only MTFs could be known as trannies. I spoke with Bear, and we agree that’s wrong on several counts:Tranny began as a uniting term amongst ourselves. Of course it’s going to be picked up and used as a denigrating term by mean people in the world. But even if we manage to get them to stop saying tranny like a thrown rock, mean people will come up with another word to wound us with. So, let’s get back to using tranny as a uniting term amongst ourselves. That would make Doris Fish very happy.It's our first own language word for ourselves that has no medical-legacy. Even if (like gay) hate-filled people try to make tranny into a bad word, our most positive response is to own the word (a word invented by the queerest of the queer of their day). We have the opportunity to re-create tranny as a positive in the world.Saying that FTMs can’t call themselves trannies eerily echoes the 1980s lesbians who said I couldn’t use the word woman to identify myself, and the 1990s lesbians who said I couldn’t use the word dyke. At one phase in the evolution of transpeople-as-tribe, it was the male-to-females who were visible and representative of trans to the rest of the world. They were the trannies. Today? Ironically true to the binary we’re in the process of shattering, the pendulum has swung so that it's now female-to-males who are the archetypal trannies of the day. The generation coming up beyond the next generation, i.e. my tribal grandchildren are the young boys who transition to young girls at the age of five or six. They’re the next trannies. None of us can own the word. We can only be grateful that our tribe is so much larger than we had thought it would be. How to come together—now that’s the job of the next generation of gender outlaws.^ From Who You Calling A Tranny?We've been having this debate forever and its been stupid forever. And its an increasingly outdated debate. More people know about trans men&mascs than ever and there are plenty of trans men&mascs who have been called tranny by transphobes who don't give a shit about this distinction. And not just people who have been mistaken for transfems, either, but men like Andrew Jonathan Blake-Newton and Saye Skye who were attacked by people who knew them. Do they have more or less of a right to say tranny than a trans girl whose never been called it by a transphobe? (Neither. Because no one owns this word.)genderkoolaidfixed the linked to Who You Calling A Tranny (it seems there's issues with Bornstein's site, but lots of archived links) & also wanna add this other post of hers from 2014 also on this subject:“How I define #tranny: ANYONE who messes around w gender w little or no care as to how tht might effect their standing in mainstream culture.” To my way of thinking, a proper and productive response to a proffered definition is to agree with it, disagree and refine it, or disprove it. The majority of responses to my tweet were all about how the word tranny has effected people’s lives. One person, however, managed to refute my definition by saying: “I fuck with gender. I am not a t*****.” For this person, I’m clarifying my definition. What I didn’t spell out is that I understand “tranny” to be a radical, sex-positive gender identity. Tranny is to trans person as fag is to gay man and dyke is to lesbian. More to the point of agreeing or disagreeing with tranny as a gender identity for oneself: I’ve been saying since I wrote the book, Gender Outlaw 20 years ago, that the only person who can name our gender identities is ourselves. In my own life, I’ve rejected the gender identities of both man and woman—despite the fact that I managed to live up to many cultural definitions of both those identities. I pass as a woman, I’m called she by strangers. AND I reject the gender identity of woman. Accordingly, if someone fits my definition of tranny and rejects that identity, then I respect their rejection of the identity. [...]     — FTMs are not allowed to use the word for themselves. FTMs are certainly included in my definition if they want to be.  [...]     — Why all this fuss, just to protect an edgy word? It’s more than an edgy word. Tranny is a valid, vibrant, and vital identity. Protecting that identity is what I’m making the fuss about. In closing: that people are offended by what I call myself is simply not my problem. Transphobia is our communal problem, and I have stood and will stand shoulder to shoulder with anyone who’s fighting that hatred. OK, done now. I’m going to get back to healing my body. Auntie loves you. Have good sex and fun with gender. Kiss Kiss.241,2801,977
