I saw Underground Transgender Mafia absolutely smash it with hours of relentless gabber at a four day Teknival in Czechia back in 98.

Great to see NYC supporting youth gender-affirming care! So needed in a time of federal transphobia and private hospital cowardice.
I don't know how important this is, but it seems like it might be relevant to the trans rights discussion: I think that a lot of people 50 and younger do not remember when no one was gay. I am 64, and I was raised in a conservative household, and I absolutely remember this.
usually every bigotry is either The Animalistic Subhumans Are Coming For Our Women or The Scheming Puppeteers Have Secret Control Of All Of Society. transphobia is fun because it is, in this regard, nonbinary
Trans NGO's and activists are a waste of space. They haven't achieved a single thing in the 16 years I've been held back and fucked around by the NHS. Nobody who matters listens and you only ever see them when they want something. It's fucking bullshit.
Look, I'm in a few discords with high proportions of trans folx, and if they were running this country they'd actually get shit done. They might even have found Liz Truss a job where she can be a productive member of society.
all other aspects of this recent terf wizardy resurgence are bad enough on their own, but objectively speaking "malfoid" is a stupid fucking name. it sounds like a slimy space creature at best, and a disease at worst. I'm gonna call refer to this trend as "Malfoid Fever" with the disgust it deserves
I don't think it's a coincidence that so much discourse around marginalized people tends to revolve around how some of them CAN conform. They focus on ace people who like to have sex, autistics who are "high functioning," lesbians who have sex with men, non dysphoric trans people. This is presented
Honestly, seeing this image, I think I'm going to have to write up a blog post that talks about /why/ I find these stories/depictions so affirming and empowering. I think a lot of it is simply that everyone in the world seems to be allowed to be cool except for transmasc folks?
trans tipping point was a giant cis wielded cultural magnifying glass that insisted hypervisibility was the final step in a cementing of our social existence.
The normalisation of transphobia is complete in the UK. Most cis people don't even see it in plain sight.
An undeground transgender mafia that can bring down a prime minister but can't access basic healthcare?
A certain strain of "feminist" of the anti-trans variety loves Bari Weiss' glorified blog hub, and that kind of feminist will totally ignore this.
because if it works for pathologizing trans people, you can move to weaponizing it against other vulnerable groups
I really hate it when people describe trans bathroom bans (like in the UK) as "segregation". NO. Segregation at least PRETENDED to be "separate but equal". There were bathrooms, however shoddily built, built specifically for Black people. Trans people don't even get THAT. bsky.app/profile/moxi...
Brexit opened Pandora's box of hatred. Every movement animated by bigotry invariably ends up targeting the same vulnerable groups and minorities.
Seeing reviews for het t4t books where they say something to the effect of "this feels like it's basically for straight readers" disappoints me. Like het t4t where they both have had bottom surgery isn't "comformist" lol--since when is transitioning "conforming"?
the thing about trans people with “any pronouns” in bio i feel is sometimes it means they don’t have a preference, but sometimes it means that they are tired of people asking and don’t want to advertise the easiest way to hurt them
Still waiting for the underground transgender mafia to do something about the stripping of my fucking healthcare and inability to find work Don Transgender needs to step the fuck up
i wish people didnt just make up how transohobia works. this myth that transphobia is the "normal" opinion now has people imagining transphobes as some sort of grassroots organizing we can learn from, and not that its been personally bankrolled and defended by JK Rowling and Oil Billionaires 🤪🤪
Im so tired of trans infighting. "This subset group is why we aren't taken seriously" No. We aren't taken seriously, because those trying to cast us out can't imagine someone with a lived experience different than their own. And apparently neither can half of you?? It's just so frustrating to watch.
Can someone please explain to Evan Urquhart that going to Jupiter to get more stupider is not a firm requirement for being a trans guy?
There is no safe state for trans people right now. Period.
my hot take as a trans person is that i'm less worried about if someone uses the right terms for me, and more about if they're voting for people who want to put me in a camp.
transfemmanellain adds new and exciting layers to the mari/emm parallels* *some of these parallels are definitely marielle projecting though
i should sleep soon but man,, in a world of suffering, trans folks need to support each other better instead of just leaving their poorer (and especially nonwhite) fellow trans peers to just fight over scraps and shun them for not fitting into tight cliques and wealth brackets too. it's so dreadful
Dunno how to articulate this but some of the worst displays of misogyny I've seen honestly come from the way white cis woman talk about queer and POC women.
All right, listen, despite being cishet you're welcome to organize with the queer liberation org, but I need you to stop calling yourself "reverse Ernst Rohm"
THIS IS INCREDIBLE!! THIS NEEDS TO BE STANDARD!! ACTUALLY SAVE THE KIDS!!! Abusing them into hating themselves only hurts them. Loving and giving care for trans kids is the best way! #lgbt #Healthcare #trans #mandani #justice
Trans rights and immigrant rights are human rights.
I feel like I blinked and missed when it happened but I’m glad the word queer has gotten more popularized as a unifying descriptor for the community in place of a clunky acronym and the only people you see hiss at the word now are just transphobic gays who’s garbage opinions can be ignored lmao
I don't know anything about trans demographics. are there more trans men or women, are more of us gay or straight or bi, binary or nonbinary? I haven't a clue
i think non binary people owe themselves transitioning (what exactly that entails depends on the specific person)
Btw, I also have stopped following any cosplayers who cosplay anything in the Harry Potter universe. It's 2026 and everyone knows what JK Rowling is doing with her money, so even socially supporting the brand is hurting trans people. Stop it already.
Every trans meme I see makes me think "huh, maybe there is a gender in here somewhere" But surely that doesn't mean anything, right?
The only possible response to "every trans woman you know is having a uniquely bad time for causally completely independent reasons" is to become Weirder
