@RealWolfAubrey sweet dreams aubrey

everyone say “sweet dreams aubrey” i’m gonna take a nap

@venusruledfemme omg i love it. so stunning btw

@aletheia327 what 😭

In the transgender green room

@jeannestradiol @broimpissedasf "why didn't you include the one where i think trans women are categorically white and wealthy" lmao

@broimpissedasf @DeliciousAthena This happens to black trans women.

idk much about that paris girl, but that she can post an emotional tiktok and get immense support of terfs shows how any cis woman can tap into her cisness for sympathy within the frame that she's being bullied by the aggressive and bigoted Trans Community (ran by tw, of course)

“Cis women can share their experience and trans women can share their own experiences too” yea well you’re obscuring the epistemic asymmetry at hand here. Cis women have a obligation to explicitly advocate for trans women in their feminism, anything short enables TERFs

This has been met-thank you! Unpinning this now

@0x091r they've always been political markers more than they've been about "representing real people". my body hair is very light in color and thin (virtually unnoticeable), for example, and has always been like that, but the prominent depictions of trans women are one-note

part of why trans women hate non-trans women depicting us w/ masculine features is that dysphoria-as we experience it-is not only having masculine features we don't want, but imagining masculine features we don't have. it takes the form of a severe epistemic disadvantage. (1/3)

stop asking silly questions

the same one that established itself through multiple genocides that are still ongoing

The core of TERFism as an ideology is the redirection of patriarchal violence away from ciswomen and onto trans women and the transfeminine. It's a genocidal ideology and you should never give them the benefit of the doubt

@blkcatgirlsplz we're made to answer for cis "allies" like we are cis(het) men

trans women on tiktok to """cancel""" her. whatever she was upset about probably came from cis mouthpieces and not actual trans women because trans women just don't really talk to cis women on that app esp bc nobody agrees with us there

it's so funny that cis women think they can be "cancelled" by trans women. paris was upset because she felt like her words were being misinterpreted and that she'd be seen as something she doesn't believe she is. she wasnt crying because of "backlash" there aren't even enough

@SchizoMellie @broimpissedasf joke is i didn't even have to look. this was at the top of the timeline when i checked lol

@broimpissedasf @DeliciousAthena You are a terf

@venusruledfemme like this 🤞

@venusruledfemme one word

you all are getting way too close to just saying "heterophobia is real" and i'd really appreciate you stop trying to tie transmisogyny to misandry. you don't have to take their words at face value

i need ppl to stop thinking that 'hating men too much' overflows into a special form of misogyny targeting only (cis) het and bi women, and produces "transphobia". (trans)misogyny is never the outcome of that. rhetoric around being "tainted by maleness" actually begins with us

@dolljointsangel there's a reason it looks the same!

@DeliciousAthena The moment I saw that apology video I immediately thought "cissexual tears"

i got accused of trying to "workshop" a way of saying (cis) nonwhite women can do ww tears, but cisfemininity draws upon the same image of innocence as whiteness since it's an operation of both. it's negotiating humanity and monopolizing em/sym/pathy thru transmisogynoir
