Gregory's Server@Anya_Adora saying something happens is not the same as endorsing it. Allies and even trans people sometimes say transphobic things on accident. So it's good to educate on why it's transphobic.
Trans women are women. If you're not trying to argue otherwise, perhaps you chose the wrong hill to die on.

@Anya_Adora are you saying that wanting to be known as trans disqualifies someone from being a woman? Here, let me break it down for you: @Anya_Adora if by "women 11 months out of the year until pride month comes along" you mean "don't tell people they're trans except for pride month but tell people they're women," those women are still women during pride month... if you mean people who detransition for pride month or AFAB trans people who detransition for the rest of the year, idk how they're relevant to this conversation @briellebouquet @raphaelmorgan Some trans fems use the word 'Tranny' to describe themselves, even here, openly, in jest. If you want to continue this then tell me how that's ok and not having a space between two words is somehow the end of the world for us. Because apparently some folks think i'm a bigot for not caring about the space which was made clear in this thread. Let's move on to a real slur. @briellebouquet @raphaelmorgan Also, let me make this very clear. None of you or any trans person anywhere gets to decide my 'credentials' as a trans person. Ever. @Anya_Adora @briellebouquet she was literally saying that we weren't trying to do that... are you just the type of person who scans posts for a few words that you can take out of context so that you can attack other trans people? Please untag me from future conversation because I am *done* with that sort of behavior along with the bootlicking @Anya_Adora @raphaelmorgan more importantly, accepting compromise on our right to label ourselves because we dont want to push cis people away feels cowardly and adjacent to cis gays who join the LGB alliance bc they think trans people make gay rights harder to sell to cishets. we are who we are. im not trying to buy acceptance from the cishets by compromising who i am or how im seen for public relations. i want respect and i want my womanhood recognized, now. @briellebouquet @raphaelmorgan That's fine, feel however you wish. I just wish you could understand that your womanhood isn't defined by them. You are obviously their slave because a space between two words or not matters so much it can destroy your dignity. To me that's problematic and i refuse to let others decide who i am or what i am. But you all do you and fight the world over a space between words to maintain your dignity. |
@raphaelmorgan Some trans women are trans women, other trans women are women 11 months out of the year until Pride Month comes along.
Some trans women are proud to be trans and want that to be made known any time of the year.
Other trans women are binary and passing and never want anyone to know they are trans and are extremely upset by being known as trans and reject being around other trans women who don't pass, they don't want to get 'clocked' as the community calls it.
I'll die on this hill, being 110% real with you in response to your comment.
