On Kindness.

Figured ppl on here would want to know Silas (sweatermuppet) doesn't support any usage of terms to describe the system of oppression against trans mascs

"TERFs don't actually hate men; they actually see trans women as women because they engage in transmisogyny against us!"

I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't think that "ExterminatetheYchromosome.tumblr.com" thinks that we're women because we say we are...

In this article, Devon Price claims that this study, while showing that people are more vocally prejudiced against gay men than lesbian women, doesn't mean gay men are more oppressed than lesbians. He also claims that this study, that shows people are more vocally prejudiced against trans women than trans men, does mean trans women are more oppressed than trans men. These conclusions are logically inconsistent and it's frustrating that he is willing to acknowledge the less explicit, often erased bigotry that lesbians face, but not that same kind of bigotry that trans men face.

RB to give prev a fresh and warm loaf of challah

what the actual fuck...

I'll take "things that didn't happen" for 500, please.

discrimination is when sex toys apparently

I put this in the comments but I figured I'd put it in reblogs too

I think what anon is referring to is not the coining of the term nonbinary itself, but instead the person who made the nonbinary flag. Here's one of the posts stating why they pushed for the term and flag.

#we can't have anything focused on our mascness and all more general trans terms ('egg'/'t-slur'/'t4t') all actually Belong to trans women#we're chock full of cooties and if we use the wrong words or try to make our own we're just gonna infect the trans community with them

can I add just remember non-binary got made because “too many” afab genderqueer people were in the tags so it was made for amab ones.?? Still don’t know how any of that worked but I will never use nb over genderqueer after finding that out

I was trying to look into this but couldn't find anything indicating that. Would you mind sharing where you heard that from? The term seems to have been coined on its own but not popularized until the 2010s or so; I wouldn't be surprised if negative sentiment towards people afab identifying as genderqueer heavily contributed to that popularity considering how certain people have talked about us. But I'd still like to find that information for myself if you have any direction towards it.
