imagining a fantasy world where transmisogyny has recently been like... cut in half. and fandom people have to deal with their #fruity guy blorbos actually transitioning and becoming women. imagine june egbert but its happening to MCU fans.

strawberry-crocodile

i just want it to happen once. god, please. let one of the mediocre Sad Man television shows that tumblr gets obsessed with reveal tumblr's favorite Tortured Angsty Guy has been a trans woman the whole time.

VERY IMPORTANT this needs to happen after AT LEAST one season so the fandom can get a whole year's worth of obsession before they discover he's not fruity in a fun dismissable yaoi boy way but is actually a she/her transgender woman.

strawberry-crocodile

and of course she will continue to be a main character and will transition and present as a girl and get a dozen A- and B- plots about the transfeminine experience and these fuckers will have to explain why they suddenly stopped watching after episode 2.2 Meet Bonnibel

I'm sorry, but I had to forcefem Weird Al Yankovich.

five-crows-sharing-a-laptop

Yeah she's Weird Alice now.

five-crows-sharing-a-laptop

See, people kept comparing curly haired trans women to her.

five-crows-sharing-a-laptop

Yeah the trans women didn't like being compared to a man so: the forcefem and all that.

five-crows-sharing-a-laptop

It sounds like a convoluted plan to you, sure, but it was easier than getting tme people to listen and adjust their behavior I promise.

sometimes artists draw a trans woman but call her something else

I do not care about the artist’s opinion because it invariably sucks ass

ashenmind

an artist’s views permeate their work and how they view their own work

most artists are transmisogynists

∴ I am stealing your “femboy” and telling her she don’t have to call herself that anymore

“I always remember having this fight with a random dude who claimed that ‘straight white men’ were the only true innovators. His prime example for this was the computer… the computer… THE COMPUTER!!! THE COM-PU-TER!!!

Alan Turing - Gay man and ‘father of computing’ Wren operating Bombe - The code cracking computers of the 2nd world war were entirely run by women Katherine Johnson - African American NASA mathematician and ‘Human computer’ Ada Lovelace - arguably the 1st computer programmer”

- Sacha Coward

Also Margaret Hamilton - NASA computer scientist who put the first man on the moon - an as-yet-unmatched feet of software engineering, here pictured beside the full source of that computer programme. #myhero

Grace Hopper - the woman that coined the term “bug”

- @robinlayfield

hylocereus--undatus

Grace Hopper did more than coin the term “bug”. She invented the first program linker in the early 1950s, for the UNIVAC I. A program linker translates instructions from one language to another (for example, numerical codes that represent instructions translated to machine code that computers can read), which is the very foundation of how computer’s operate independently. she also pulled a steve rogers and tried to enlist in the military a bunch of times and was denied. then, an exception was made for her when she joined the navy reserves, and she ended up serving for over 40 years (half of which was active duty). she retired from the navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper. she was born in NYC in 1906. Grace Hopper was a fucking badass.

also computing was typically a job for women (many of whom were black women that made incredible contributions) back in the day, so it’s absolutely fucking wild that straight white men think they are the foundation of computer innovation. men PUSHED women out and took the credit.

Also, just about every computerized device outside of desktops is running ARM chips now. Your phone, your keyboard, your car, your watch. Basically everything.

And ARM was primarily designed by Sophie Wilson, a trans woman.

Please don’t forget Hedy Lamarr. Screwed over by the US government. She helped develop spread spectrum communication, which in part led to the development of WiFi and Bluetooth tech.

LED, LCD and CRT colour monitors are built upon the design of Guillermo González Camarena, Mexican inventor of the colour television. Without him, computers would still be black and white. Without colour screens, video games wouldn’t have become as popular as they are now, and movies with digital effects would be almost impossible, meaning computers as a whole wouldn’t have grown to be as powerful as they currently are, because a lot of money in modern computer research comes from the film and video game industries.

Even now it’s way too common for people to automatically assume interest in computers = boy for some inscrutable reason. Just a couple of decades ago it was even a common joke that “there are no girls on the internet”.

I’d like to also add Judith Love Cohen who helped to program guidance computers for the minuteman missile and the Apollo 13 mission as well as save 13 when an oxygen tank exploded and took out their guidance system!

(Less importantly she’s also the mother of Jack Black)

Anonymous asked:

I really admire your confidence, honesty, directness and ability to take things seriously and communicate like an adult. A lot of trans women i know are so self infantilizing - you always feel like a woman who knows her responsibilities for good or ill. I respect you and I'm proud to be your mutual. I think about reaching out more but i never want to be a bother. Still your reblogs and notes make me kick my feet like a schoolgirl with a crush (nonromantic)

houndmother answered:

I’ve been holding onto this one for a while. It’s not sitting easy with me. It’s nice to be acknowledged because like, I’ve worked very fucking hard for this confidence and it certainly isn’t a trait that everyone loves about me.

I also refuse to accept a compliment that like, compares me to the other women in my world, and puts them down as part of that. if I say thank you and accept this compliment, I’m validating your opinions of other trans women as self infantilizing.

I understand the logic of the thought, and I certainly know some women who have left me frustrated because it feels like they won’t take responsibility for themselves. But to leave it at that, and to leave it unexamined, entirely fails to take into account the world that trans women live in and the transmisogyny/oppression we face near constantly. I’m lucky because I’ve got a good resume from before my transition, i’ve got a stable job that pays my bills, and i’ve got a loving boyfriend and some long time friends who support me. Dismissing certain trans women, or i’m reading your ask correctly, most trans women, as self infantilizing fails to take into account how fucking hard it is to be a tranny. the amount of work that goes into staying afloat. is she self infantilizing or does she face constant misogyny. is she self infantilizing or does she get misgendered, stared at, and outright harassed half the times she leaves their house. is she self infantilizing or does she see job interviewers eyes glaze over every time they clock her. is she self infantilizing or did she lose her support network when she came out. is she self infantilizing or do viscous rumors follow her, online and off. is she self infantilizing or does rely on sex work for survival and get her blog deleted every time she starts to build a following again.
