i wonder why there is a general perception, especially among tme ppl both cis and trans, that trans women are overrepresented in social spaces despite there being fewer of us. i wonder if there is a larger societal force that trans women are subject to that leads to this distorted conception of trans women's visibility.

explicitly canonizing a character being cisfem because you don't like the idea of writing transfem characters don't want to claim representation you didn't write or whatever the excuse ends up being is exhausting but like i basically expect it from tme ppl. but when i see fellow transfems going off on "she wasn't being explicitly hostile to us" like...

please, my sisters, we can demand better, we can expect better, we deserve better. you do not need to defend someone from 'accusations of transphobia'. all tme ppl benefit from transmisogyny, this is a factual description of reality. if you disagree, then you do not understand the concepts we are working with. that is how this works.

frankly i already find it exhausting how almost every public discussion of media i see ends up embracing the language and aesthetic of advertisement but going so far as to act as a PR team for the creator, too, in the most liberal way possible. like. please. please believe that you deserve better. celebrating token representation is the path of assimilationism and will only see our more marginalized sisters abandoned. we deserve better.

I really hate the "dude" conversation cuz like it's literally such a nothingburger in and of itself but it is a great example of the ways that people--even many tme lgbt ppl--are willing to treat trans women at the drop of a hat, but then any time it gets used as an example, it's the only thing TME ppl wanna address cuz, well, the nature of micro aggressions is that they're often plausibly deniable, so then they go and say "NUH UH" and we write three paragraphs explaining "YEAH UH" and then the whole fucking thing gets derailed into this stupid bullshit that just ends up with us being the butt of the joke anyway, like the bro/dude/man shit is to the '20s as "did you just assume my gender" shit was to the '10s

god bless em for trying but can you imagine how funny it would be if this worked
