Sorry for the shitty image. Had trouble finding the original that wasn't composited over something else.
Anyway, above image reminds me of this one.
The I'm sorry girls line kills me.

Trans Inclusive Radical Misogyny
Trans women are woman and that's why they belong in the kitchen
/tirm
"Of course trans women are women. Only a woman would be dumb enough to want to be a woman!" 🤣
It's so ridiculous I can't help but love it.
There was a Reddit comment (I think?) once where someone said their grandma believed trans women were women, because nobody would voluntarily put the societal hardships of being a woman upon themselves.
I mean, that's straight-up truth. That's not misogynistic at all. You give up a ton of privilege and safety going from being read as male by strangers to being read as female. And all the career disadvantages that women experience you will now experience. Plus the additional ones that come with being trans.
That's not the kind of thing anyone would do without a damn good reason.
I know, the OOP and everyone in the comments said exactly that, and thought it was cute. Although regarding the career disadvantages, that absolutely depends on when in life you transition. Remember, not everyone is out at 20 years old. Some might take a few decades more.
Unless you're already retired, it will affect your career.
In the sense that it takes time off your job, yes. But if you have already built your career, have a high-ranking job, and can afford some time off (does gender-affirming surgery count as treatment of an illness?), the impact will be less than if you went into the market as a woman from the beginning.
It goes way beyond the time off required. Oh, I agree the impact is less the further you are in your career. My point is that it's going to have a strong impact regardless of what age you do it, unless you're already retired. People often see their decades-long careers ended abruptly upon coming out. I've known people that's happened to, even within just the last 15 years. A few decades ago, a common piece of advice among some (particularly white middle class trans women) was to handle transition this way, even if you knew you were trans at 18:
- Live as male.
- Choose a career that pays as high as possible. Don't focus on what you want to do. Just focus on what pays the most.
- Pursue a strategy of what would today be called FIRE. Think "work as a lawyer or doctor but live like a college student."
- Make as much money as humanly possible while spending as little as possible. Reach early retirement money as soon as possible. Save up enough for transition as well.
- Retire some time before 40 and only come out and start transitioning then.
In a time when job discrimination was so much worse than today, this was a strategy pursued by a lot of people. It was common advice to just assume coming out meant setting your career on fire. Of course there were people that came out even at 18, even 50 years ago, but most of them ended up in sex work.
See, this is why I think JK Rowling is a trans man. He has no idea why women want to be women. Cis women want to be women too. But Robert Galbraith thinks that womanhood is about wearing your oppression as a badge of honour.
Reminds me of "The guy" post from a while ago who managed to defeat someone's eating disorder, managed to be radically trans inclusive for the weirdest reasons and a whole bunch of other stuff. Hold while I try to find it, I did save it.
EDIT: Found it
Ok, that is bonkers. Refuses to misgender trans men because we "stole them." XD
HE'S OUR'S NOW
Deeply misogynist allies are a new lore that I need to explore. Fucking hilarious.
Yeah, I want more trans inclusive radical misogynist stories. Like they're so incredibly blursed and funny.
Strangely society could learn from them.
Imagine how many misogynistic transphobes out there could be transformed into just raging misogynists.
We could start healing as a people.
This is amazing.
I wanna tell this guy about My genital nullification surgery and see his reaction
Incredible. Thank you for this
Nothing but the true truth.
Hear hear
Can I be real? I'm afab and whenever I stumble into any girlposting community I absolutely can't tell whether it's intended to be from a trans-fem point of view or not. Like the posts in !femcelmemes@lemmy.blahaj.zone are perfectly relatable.
I think femcelmemes is intended to be from a general fem point of view, it's just that the Lemmy demographics, and specifically lemmy.blahaj.zone demographics, have a lot more transfems than afab fems.
I have a legitimate question. Is the term "cis fems" frowned upon now or is "afab fems" just a personal preference of yours? In this context the former feels far more obvious to use to me. I'm probably overthinking it but I'd rather err on the side of caution.
it's just a personal preference. I'm not quite sure if I'm actually cis so I don't use it when talking about myself.
TBH I just used it because you mentioned "afab" in your comment. I'm not super hip with the lingo ...
Regarding the „cis fems“ (no iOS, I don‘t want to type cos), cis (here) is simply the opposite of trans (across). There are reports of cis people being insulted by the term, but in my view, they have similar credibility to „I don‘t have pronouns, pronouns boy!!11!“
That's my understanding too, hence why I started (over)thinking the parent commenter's choice of words. Thanks for confirming!
Do you congratulate for cake day on Lemmy? If so: Happy cake day! Otherwise, please disregard this message.
No idea if we do it here, I don't see it much. Thank you nonetheless! I didn't even realize it's today.
The only notes are the ones I'm taking.
Curious if any of these are experienced by trans men as well.
The last one definitely is.
🙌🙌🙌🙌 NOTHING BUT FACTS!
Preaching hard facts.
Men are allowed to be angry? Jesus fuck, that's news to me.
