#transmisogyny — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #transmisogyny, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Today, I'm chewing on Kate Manne's theory of misogyny as a social force for policing the roles of "human giver" and "human being" in what it has to say about the shapes of transmisogyny. I'm not sure if others have developed it in this way, but here's the thoughts it spurred in me.

    It's especially this summary of Manne's framework in Nagoski & Nagoski's "Burnout" that got me thinking:

    "Kate Manne describes a system in which one class of people, the “human givers,” are expected to offer their time, attention, affection, and bodies willingly, placidly, to the other class of people, the “human beings.” The implication in these terms is that human beings have a moral obligation to be or express their humanity, while human givers have a moral obligation to give their humanity to the human beings." (Nagoski & Nagoski, p. 8)

    Of course, cis women are expected to be and socialized into the role of "human giver" while cis men are expected to be and socialized into the role of "human being," and if a woman should choose to act as a human being, rather than solely a giver, she is then punished - this is how the system of misogyny is enforced.

  4. CW: Transphobia, objectification and sexual assault, child abuse

    The 21st century trans panic was engineered by the world's elite club of pedophiles who want to render trans women as sex slaves and trans men entirely destroyed. It's likely the entire modern GC movement is sourced from them.

  7. CW: trans* exclusion, friendship, needs advice

    Turns out a pol. left feminist friend, which I valued for her very solidarity w/ marginalised ppl, does exclude transfem* people from women. To her, they remain being men for alleged double privileges in life. I calmly disagreed to her but couldn't get into a debate.

    My very first personal *terf*y experience after coming out and I just wasn't up for it, I felt completely overwhelmed. Luckily I had queer peers and compassionate allies to get to grips w/ it.

    She's aware I don't identify as a woman, I'm a transfem* presenting enby. There's some trans*ness inside of me which I feel open & curious about to explore. You might imagine how on a personal level, her insolidarity with transfem*s, her reasoning, both devastated me personally and generally.

  8. i'm not invested in "#harrypotter was never good" conversations because it doesn't matter if it's good or not. quality does not positively correlate with socio-political #praxis. it could be a really good piece of #art, but if it's still supporting a vocal proponent of #transmisogyny and #transphobia, i don't give a shit. harry potter good or bad, who cares, its success is unambiguiously providing #financial and social capital for a #morally #despicable #person.

  10. In a story that's not really making many waves in the US media because transphobia, transmisogyny, and hating incarcerated people are all bipartisan establishment positions, the Trump administration is also transferring incarcerated trans women to men's prisons; despite the fact that it's both illegal, and multiple judges have issued restraining orders to prevent the regime from doing so:

    theguardian.com/us-news/2025/m

    Trans women transferred to men’s prisons despite rulings against Trump’s order

    "Transgender women incarcerated in the US prison system have been transferred to men’s facilities under Donald Trump’s executive order, despite multiple court rulings blocking the president’s policy, according to civil rights lawyers and accounts from behind bars.

    Trump’s day-one “gender ideology” order, one of several sweeping attacks on trans rights, said the attorney general “shall ensure that males are not detained in women’s prisons or housed in women’s detention centers” and that no federal funds go to gender-affirming treatment or procedures for people in custody.

    The executive order was quickly challenged in court. In three lawsuits filed on behalf of trans women housed in women’s prisons, federal judges have ruled that the US Bureau of Prisons (BOP) cannot withhold their medical treatment and was barred from moving them to men’s facilities. One judge said the plaintiffs had “straightforwardly demonstrated that irreparable harm will follow."

    Lawyers fighting Trump’s directive say the court rulings prevented the transfers of 17 trans women who are plaintiffs in the cases, but others not included in the litigation are now facing placements in men’s facilities."

    In case you're missing the shell game going on here, the Trump administration is pretending that only the 17 specific trans women mentioned in the cases to block this cruel fuckery are covered, while simply going ahead to target other trans women who are not specifically mentioned in the court orders. Not only is this an abnormal, malicious violation of the spirit of the judge's orders, but it's also literally straight up illegal:

    "Prisons are required under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (Prea), a longstanding federal law, to screen incarcerated people for sexual assault risk and consider LGBTQ+ status when making housing decisions. Legal experts say Trump’s blanket policy of housing trans women in men’s facilities clearly violates Prea."

    This is a hard story to read, because it demonstrates a pattern of pointless, wonton cruelty towards trans women by Trump's Bureau of Prisons; in addition to moving trans women to men only facilities that put them in very real danger, the BOP has also issued *orders* for guards to deadname prisoners and use incorrect pronouns, change their gender markers on official forms, deny requests for gender appropriate clothing, and to allow male guards to pat down trans women prisoners. Furthermore because this administration (and some would say, American society) hates trans women more than they like ice cream, nobody is making any effort here to prevent abuses that would seemingly go even beyond Trump's fascist executive order. There are already reports of male guards "groping" trans women prisoners, prison officials seizing the bras and underwear of trans women prisoners like they were contraband, threats to force detransition incarcerated trans women by denying their hormone therapy, and even one report of a woman who had gender-affirming surgeries before her incarceration, being moved to a men's prison. As one lawyer noted, this "is essentially sanctioning sexual assault in some instances."

    Of course, given that trans people represent a microscopic minority inside the U.S. population, and 17 trans women are being protected by temporary restraining orders, only a small number of trans women are subject to what I'd describe as a form of psychological torture and the constant threat of violence; perhaps that's why the US political and media establishment in the "opposition" doesn't care, rather than their well established indifference towards trans lives, if not outright transphobia. I would however argue that the fact that the Trump administration is plowing ahead to target such a small number of trans women demonstrates that this isn't about safety or the rule of law; the cruelty is indeed the point, and a Trump regime that cares little about malnourished children, seniors living check to check on social security, or American workers, is clearly prepared to move heaven and earth to make existence so intolerable for trans women that they simply stop existing.

  11. CW: Trans misogyny

    Was catcalled for the first time this morning. I went on a bike ride at 6:30 wearing a sports bra and yoga pants and when I was waiting at a red light to cross an intersection, a truck full of construction workers honked at me and was waving and whistling at me. At first I thought they were honking at someone else, then I realized they were all waving and looking right at me.

    It was at the same time weirdly affirming, and also a reminder of how random people look at me out in public.

  13. We should be mindful about how we form our opinions especially on what is fair/unfair - a good start by LISTENING FIRST to the people most affected. It's been happening more and more, trans people, especially trans women, have been used as political punching bags and when we repeat "it's just biology" and such callous remarks, reducing the complexity of human beings this way, we are causing harm.

  17. @Emily I'm pretty shure they also talked to some lawyers and found out that complying with such as pushed forward by |n-led would literally be a in and other juristictions.

    I really hope @antidiskriminierung will literally go after [not just sports] associations that do or general [not just anti-#trans] discrimination!

    and thus precondition to any "#negotiations"!!!

    plz...

  20. "being so fr when I say that #transmisogyny has put #feminism back like 50 years"

    "what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of #women to #vaginas and #wombs and the ability to bear #children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for #men.’ i thought we progressed past the #idea that #someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly #feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that #trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made"

  23. Russian women are strip-searched at work.

    This will happen in the US when the government starts genital inspections of girls and women to see if they find any trans girls or women playing sports.

    Notice it is men who are doing the inspections in Russia.
