Trans Rights: You’re doing it wrong

If you think someone’s identity is valid and/or they count as experiencing cissexism/transmisogyny only if they

  • Identify as “transsexual” - a word with not so great history/connotations
  • Identify within the binary
  • Use only male or female pronouns - or maybe “they” although that’s stretching it
  • Appease the cis majority (by avoiding, for example, expressions like “die cis scum”)

You are not fighting trans oppression.  You’re fighting for True Transsexual superiority over other trans* people.  You are TruScum, and I do not want your internalized cissexism in my life.

Seriously, trans* folks already have to fight cis people to be given the very bare minimum of respect for our identities.  We should not have to fight these assholes as well. >_>

Not to mention invalidating people’s opinions by calling them Internet activists or something.  That’s ableist as fuck and given the amount of disability in the trans* community, definitely something we do not need.



Wow, this is genuinely and truly the most laughable rag of tumblr bs I have ever been exposed to.
Because erasing the actual identity turmoil of transsexuals and their crippling dysphoria with your bullshit attention-seeking, special-snowflake genderfluidqueertrans*asteriskasterisk transtrending is really shaking the yoke of oppression.
Their biological reality is their greatest hurdle in life.
Yours is apparently a mythical glittery-assed leprechaun, tripping balls and frolicking freely in the enchanted gender forest.
And you’re not even embarrassed.

I am a male-designated-at-birth transsexual woman so I’m actually one of the folks who “counts” in you folks’ eyes? >_>

Cissexist cis people: “HAHAHA what do you mean you’re not the gender you were assigned at birth?  FREAK!!”

Transsexual elitists: “HAHAHA what do you mean you’re neither a woman nor a man?  FREAK!!”

Not really sure why the only gender dysphoria that counts is the sort that folks with binary identities / folks who ID as TS experience.  Not really sure how the natural next step after fighting one’s ass off to get the minimum amount of respect for one’s identity is to dictate whose identities “count” out of those with gender-nonconforming identities.

Internalized cissexism OUT THE ASS.

lol@ puzznbootz
bcuz policing other people’s identities and sitting in your little tower of theory deciding who is and isn’t allowed to experience dysphoria and upholding the pillar of the patriarchy that is the gender binary like a caryatid on steroids is really shaking the yoke of oppression


good job
another win for the oppressed
all you have to do is find someone who makes society even more uncomfortable than you make it, then cooperate with your oppressors to oppress those people instead.
it’s brilliant

congratulations
you win social justice
