THE ONE WITH THE TRANS GIRL VOCALOID COVER SINGER IN IT BETTER WIN THIS, TUMBLR, I KNOW YOU ALL HAVEN'T BEEN OUT HERE PICKING FIGHTS WITH THE TRANSMISOGYNISTS ABOUT HER EVERY WEEK JUST TO THROW IN THE TOWEL WHEN SHE'S ON THE ROPES AGAINST HARLEEN
Tbh, having either type of character would be great to me, but I'd rather have characters like Sallie May because she has the confidence to show off her body however she pleases, even if she still has a penis on some of her merch
Also, Sallie's VA called out Erin on Twitter for her transphobic bullshit and, honestly, I stan her for doing so 👏
"i'm not being transphobic, i, a cis person, just had this trans man already planned for the supporting cast of side characters and it would feel unnecessarily forced to make a trans woman part of the main cast when i already included him" is such a hysterically familiar song and dance at this point, you know? such a fine-grained example of using being technically correct to hide the actual prejudice involved. because technically, she's not being transphobic! she's being very specifically transmisogynist, and using a false narrative about having already designed a trans man in the story as a stalking horse to prove she's perfectly fine with trans people (trans women not included) to cover it up.
it's like cis people trying this line think only trans women will care about, much less notice, the lie - wait, that's exactly what it looks like is happening here!
gotta give credit to everyone else involved for immediately calling bullshit this time. gives me hope for the world, and not from a place i would've ever gone looking to find it, myself.

In Nebraska it’s illegal to talk about the ocean
i showed this to my dad and he said “nebraskans should stay in nebraska because the culture shock of talking to people who know what the ocean is would kill them instantly” and im not over it
Your own source paints you as a liar...... it says "AMAB people face a 1 in 5 sexual assault rate, vs AFAB 1 in 4" that's afabs getting more raped... sorry, but it's all transmisandry. It said up to FIVE PERCENT of trans women get raped, vs 45% of trans men according to multiple surveys... that's even LOWER than cis men.
Honestly I'm not even sure where to begin with this one anon.
Perhaps we can start with the fact that you are trying to use statistics about AMABs (a group that is 99% cis men) and AFABs and using that to draw conclusions about trans women, who represent less than 1% of all "AMABs".
If your point is to say that cishet men are less likely to experience sexual assault than "AFABs" then you'll get no argument from me, but trying to make claims about how trans women are treated by using statistics where trans women comprise less than 1% of the group you are looking at (in this case people who were assigned male at birth) then your analysis is going to be inherently flawed.
The sentence you are referencing about 5% of trans women being raped from my source is actually a typo on the author's part, and the source it references and the rest of that sentence should have probably made that obvious.
What was meant by that sentence was that ~5% of prison rapes in men's prison happen to trans women, despite trans women making up less than .6% of the population in men's prisons. This means that trans women in mens prisons are over 8 times as likely to be raped in men's prisons as cis men are.
I hope I was able to clear up the misconception brought on by the authors of that paper anon, and I also hope the rest of your day gets better. You seem to have a lot of pent up aggression and resentment that you are dealing with in what I'm not sure is the healthiest way. 💛
This man took so much longer to crack than I would have what a PROFESSIONAL
Plotting, scheming, etc.
THANK YOU FOR THIS IMPORTANT ADDITION.
I have enjoyed this video so much and am very happy to share ways to help the babies!!

“This is a quote from a hematologist who understands chronic pain better than most doctors and specialists: “Chronic pain patients hide it so well, you can’t go by how they look on the outside. They have to learn how to function with pain, you can’t just roll around on the floor all day screaming in agony. Medical personnel in hospitals don’t even realize this. A chronic pain patient can function with a pain level that would incapacitate any other person.”
End Description.)
That is correct. Most of the chronic pain sufferers I know have experienced "incapacitating" injuries and walked them off. I myself have ignored broken bones and not even realized I had sprains, dislocations, and torn ligaments
I had a mutual on twitter lose her temper and blast me for saying this, insisting that it’s impossible for this to be true. Telling me that pain I have been in would make it impossible for me to do anything but scream in pain...but you learn how to cope with pain eventually. Many people really do not understand chronic pain and don’t listen to those who do.
Also Semi trucks have lifted seats so the driver CAN SEE ANY ROAD HAZARDS
Also, like, in the United States, huge semis are mostly driving on the major highways and Interstates. They're long-haul trucks designed to travel cross-country on specialized roads. They're not vehicles for small residential streets in the slightest.
I've known a lot of truckers. They literally cannot use a lot of the roads that regular cars do. But the big fuckoff vanity trucks barrel through those same roads without a care in the world.
And like, it is NOT hard to lose your CDL FOR-DAMN-EVER, preventing you from ever driving a semi ever again. Fuck up in a semi, they won't let you touch one of the damn things ever again.
a gang of transgender identity extremists has taken over the sistine chapel and are demanding the pope add a visible penis to every statue of the holy virgin
The funny thing is that they have a huge tourism business, and no one will want to visit if their children will be taken away for being “at risk” of being supported. They’re kneecapping a major part of the economy
Forgive the bad underlining, I'm fucking shaking with rage is all
in light of the exposed emails about the media obsession with transphobia being a manufactured moral panic to increase conservative votes id like to remind you that we've been saying for years that the right will try to divide and conquer the queer community. and you are a traitor if you are a cis LGB person who let the right sucker you into transphobia and voting for politicians who will put laws in against us. they will come for you next.
ppl pulling the 'just let people enjoy Wizard Game' are often met with 'JKR funds anti-trans groups!' and that's. entirely true. but doesn't actually go far enough.
like if you're on team Let People Enjoy Wizard Game hey. did you know. that in my city RIGHT NOW JKR is sole funder and key board member of an unregulated private agab-policed rape crisis shelter set up specifically to Own The Transes
and which now sits on several gendered violence prevention boards alongside representatives from the (publicly funded and accountable) existing Rape Crisis Centre, against the staff of which her friends and followers have been involved in a years-long harassment campaign purely and explicitly because they run trans-inclusive support services and bc their CEO is a trans woman of colour.
(my friend works there and the pure volume of transphobic harassment has caused several long standing members of staff to quit. which I'm really fucking angry about bc I would not be here today if the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre hadn't been there to help me)
and that on those boards they're known for supporting increased police harassment and approaches that disproportionately criminalise trans people, unhoused people and sex workers and provably don't positively impact the issue of gendered violence.
what I'm saying is that yes JKR funds anti-trans groups but she is also pretty directly involved in materials worsening conditions for vulnerable people at a local and personal level too!!!! she's running an unregulated crisis shelter out of spite and using that to legitimise her political lobbying!!!!!! fuck you!
So I'm copying this from another post because I think it really should be on its own.
A lot of people I think don't... get TMA/TME (transmisogyny affected/exempt). Its all just transphobia right?
The explicit thing the term was coined for was describing how AMAB trans people (referred to as MTF and the spectrum) receives far, far more attention than AFAB trans people (referred to as FTM and the spectrum) from cis society, and how that affects trans women specifically.
When I was young, very young, I watched Shrek 2. There is a scene where a character who is ostensibly a boy is revealed to be wearing panties, by force. This is treated as a joke. For reasons I don't know at the time, I find the scene deeply upsetting.
I grow older, and learn more about trans people. I am exposed to trans womanhood that is not a joke, and in the course of a year come to accept that I am a trans woman. It feels like I am alive for the first time; getting to be called a girl, "she", wearing girl's shirts and growing my hair long. Genuinely, I thought of myself as basically a walking corpse pre-transition, and that feeling is gone.
But all the while, those jokes from when I was a child are still in my head. And here's the thing- its not just Shrek. There were jokes about trannies and men in dresses at school growing up. So many cartoon shows and movies make a punchline out of the idea that a man would look ugly in a dress, or that a boy character would be shamed for wearing a dress. Or that a puppet wearing panties, secretly, is something funny. Think about a culture where that kind of a joke is so normal it makes its way into like, half of all kid's shows. Think about growing up in that culture.
I don't know how to explain to you that the thing that makes me feel like a living person, the thing that makes me happier than I've ever been, is something that people know of, that people think is wrong, and that I have known that, through jokes and through art and through the people around me, for as long as I have known anything.
I have known I was a trans woman for five years, and I have not worn a pair of panties.
And, to be clear, this is just a single leg of the lumbering cultural behemoth that is transmisogyny. There's the fact we earn a full 10% less than TME trans people, the fact callouts and the resulting harassment and ostracisation and death threats disproportionately affects trans women on this website, the fact that like it or not TERFs primary target is trans women... it's so much and I am simply begging you to open your eyes and pay attention.
In case anyone needed any further proof that the transunity blog was just a front for certain people to launder their gross transmisogynist beliefs, the recent announcement of them shutting down the blog should be the final nail in the proverbial coffin.
Several people, myself especially, pushed back on the movement's irresponsible misunderstanding and misframing of trans women's oppression. However Luke, the transunity moderator who made the announcement, cannot see this as anything other than being an attack on and hatred of transmascs. Here's what he said:
This is concerning to me, and should be concerning to anyone who was following this blog, because Luke is blatantly lying here. In none of my posts criticizing their movement and their manifesto have I had anything negative to say about transmascs or the way they frame other forms of transphobic oppression, transandrophobia chief among them.
It was actually a very careful and very deliberate choice on my part to limit my criticisms of transunity solely and specifically to where I felt they were wrong about trans women's oppression, but that isn't good enough for someone like Luke.
The problem with people like Luke is that he wants to have it both ways. He doesn't think people who aren't transmasc should be able to define the oppression faced by trans men, but he also thinks that letting transfems be authorities on and define our own oppression is a personal slight against him.
He doesn't want to let other people define his oppression, and simultaneously acts like he should be allowed to define the oppression of others, and he calls anyone who pushes back against this a separatist.
"Show absolute deference to me and my beliefs" is not how you foster unity. it's how you build a cult.
This is all especially egregious when coupled with the transunity blog's pattern of targeting and driving harassment against trans women, like when they recently dredged up a literally decade old post by an indigenous trans woman while also erasing her identity and background by calling her white as a clever "get out of transmisogyny free card".
I'm not sure what else there really is to say except that I am deeply disappointed and sadly unsurprised by this development. I wish Luke well and I hope he is eventually able to get over his seemingly paternalistic need to make trans women be subordinate to him and his beliefs instead of letting us be authorities on our own oppression.
we need personally tailored hormone cocktails. if u want estrogen curves a non functional dick and a flat chest u should be able to get that. if u want huge tits hard cock huge loads we should promote that. when i’m president we’ll kill all real estate agents in the street like dogs.
"Trans men don't know what it's like to be treated like predators!" Yes we literally do? There's countless accounts of trans men, especially MoC, talking about how even in queer spaces people will start treating them as inherently more threatening once they start looking actually masc. I can't link on anon, but tumblr user doberbutts has talked about this from a black trans man's perspective. I'm willing to concede that transunity/transandrophobia guys don't understand the transfem experience, but you are greatly misinformed about the transmasc experience and it's counterproductive.
I'm not entirely sure how I'm supposed to respond to this one anon. I've gotta say I'm not sure exactly who it is that said that quote at the beginning of your ask, but I'm fairly confident in saying that I've never said it, so I'm really having trouble understanding why you are ascribing it to me as if it's something I said or believe.
What seems to have happened here is you saw one of my posts talking about how transmisogyny works and how transfems are oppressed, and then you projected ideas onto me that I haven't actually said and that I don't actually believe. I said "I like pancakes", and now you are coming into my asks like "Oh so you hate waffles?!"
I never said I hated hate waffles (for the record I usually cannot eat them since I am vegan and gluten free), and I've never said that trans men don't know what it's like to be treated as predators.
I'd really like you to think about what you think you are accomplishing by lying about me and my beliefs like this anon. Gaslighting people and yelling at them for saying things they never actually said isn't cool. Take some time to consider what biases/prejudices you may be harboring against trans women if this is how you respond when you see one of us talking about our oppression.
I know it's been talked about before but I still don't think it's been emphasized how *fucked* today's internet experience is for children. I didn't know what the word "discourse" was when I was 8, or 10, or even 13. I was too busy playing the nigh-limitless amount of flash games out there on the internet and making sure my neopets were fed. Like I cannot stress enough that if I had free time on the computer, 9 times out of 10 I could go and play a jaunty little game someone had whipped up and put out there for no other reason than that creating games was awesome and easy to do. Or go to some page that existed just to collect memes; you see back then there were more than 4 sites, and you didn't need accounts to visit them. I didn't get targeted ads. I wasn't exposed to any sort of political ideology. I spent a lot of time on the computer but no one site monopolized my time or tried to fucking manipulate me into using it more. The internet was for more than one thing back then, and honestly I don't think enough people realize how much has been stolen from us.
I understand the feelings of despair, but the rest of the internet is still very much out there. There’s a growing and dedicated movement to take it back from corporations. I’ll link a few of the neat little websites I’ve found on Neocities and in various other places. https://sadgrl.online/ - A good jumping-off point that has html guides, links to webrings, and other cool stuff.
https://deathgenerator.com - You ever wanted to make one of those funny fake video game screenshots, but you don’t have the patience to do the image editing? Well, here you go!
https://signal.vercel.app/edit - A neat little free online midi editor! You can upload midi files or compose your own!
https://dan-ball.jp/en/javagame/dust/ - A cool falling-sand-type game. The website it’s hosted on is full of other cool games, most of which are free and don’t require flash (rip flash)
https://webshark.neocities.org/gamepages - Speaking of games that don’t require flash, here’s a whole page of ‘em. Most are fairly simple, but they’re still a lot of fun.
https://ocremix.org/ and https://vgmusic.com/ - Two websites that have been around since almost forever. OCRemix is home to video game music remixes, and VGMusic has a MASSIVE library of video game midis! I used to spend a lot of time on VGMusic in particular when I was a kid.
https://cooltext.com/ - You can make cool-looking text! They also have free fonts you can download.
And this is by no means a comprehensive list, no. This is just a sampling. There’s so much out there just waiting to be discovered-- you just have to go looking for it! (And remember, kids, be careful out there-- computer viruses and malware are still very much a threat, so I encourage you to get uBlock Origin or NoScript-- or both-- for your web browser before you start web surfing! Also never give out any personal information! And for the love of all that is good, and for your own safety, please stay away from the porn sites if you’re under the age of 18.)
Have fun, stay safe, and
