Saw a post complaining that “TME people” make jokes about men in dresses. I don’t think trans men are responsible for those jokes.

Thinking about that guy a while ago—some kind of gamer or streamer, I hadn’t heard of him prior—who torpedoed his career for the sake of what’s right. No matter if it cost him sponsorships, he had to speak out against all those drag queens sexually harassing children. That there is why a sense of conviction is no substitute for a brain.

I should respond to more political strategy with “I don’t know that, and neither do you.” Like that person who said the Democrats would win more elections if they called transphobes “weird.” I argued with that on linguistic grounds—if transphobes are this common, they’re the normies—but thinking about it on strategic grounds, I have no way to tell whether calling transphobes “weird” would help or not. And you don’t know that either, unless you’ve been doing opinion surveys. You’re just stating something that feels to you like it should be right, and things that feel right may or may not be right.

You: angry that trans men purchase blue IKEA sharks, because those are supposed to be for trans women.

Me: annoyed that trans men purchase blue IKEA sharks, because IKEA already made more than enough money out of getting trans women to associate its brand with their identity.

How the fuck is a black trans woman supporting people who use the phrase “transandrobro”? Do you not fucking get that these people think you’re basically a guy because you’re black?

On Tumblr today: “trans men are predators against trans women” has evolved into “trans men aren’t actually trans.” I hate you all.

Hmm . . . That one person talked about trans women being stereotyped as tops, and that other person talked about trans women being stereotyped as bottoms. I think both of these exist at the same time, but I’m not sure how. Are there separate groups of bigots?

The Yakuza series never really changed its sense of humor as it got more PC. It just went from “aren’t trans people weird?” to “aren’t diaper fetishists weird?”

That’s it; I’m blocking everyone who tells me trans men oppress trans women. This has to be some kind of radfem false flag.

If you think “TME” is a meaningful concept I will hunt you for sport.

A mental trap: asserting that human-created meaning exists outside of humans. For instance, wavelengths of light exist, but humans are the ones who categorize some wavelengths as “yellow.” If you talk about yellow as an objective property and philosophize about the true nature of yellow, you’re overprivileging the human perspective.

Also a mental trap: thinking that someone is asserting human-created meaning when they’re not. Someone talks about the wavelengths of light that are commonly considered “yellow,” and you get mad and lecture them about how yellow isn’t real. They weren’t trying to assert yellow as real; they were just trying to talk about the properties of light in a concise and easy to understand way.

Both mental traps constantly snap shut when people talk about sex chromosomes.

I should probably argue that Musk’s freedom of speech should be protected, but I can’t muster up the sympathy. Get the ACLU on it or something.

(No comment on Rowling because I don’t know the British laws.)

Trans people offline: “It’s fine if you don’t want to have sex with us. We just hate how you talk about how fuckable or not fuckable we are every single time you see us. We exist for more reasons than to have sex with you.”

Trans people on AO3: “you’re transphobic if you can’t masturbate to trans porn.”

A lot of people would think the Pure are contradictory. They're very Christian, but also very Rationalist. They're superstitious, but they pay lip service to studying and finding things out for yourself. To me, they represent something specific.

Someone on social media said that wearing COVID masks made children forget how to smile. People asked her where she was getting this from, and she said she looked and saw it. It was bizarre, but it was her observation, and she wouldn't be dissuaded.

The Pure are the ultimate triumph of her way of looking at the world. The Pure are the treatment of one's subjective view as the true objective, rational view, with no room to doubt or reconsider. Whatever you know must be true, that's what you perceive, and because you perceive it, you know it must be true. Anything outside what you can imagine simply doesn't exist, and if it persists, you make it not exist. Any person who isn't part of your social order will be killed and forgotten, and it will be like they were never there.

When people use a cherry-picked study to argue that gay men are proven to be bad fathers, that's the Pure. When someone said trans women rape cis women all the time, but the mainstream media covers it up, that's the Pure. Hell, that RWBY fan who said it's morally bad to ship Yang and Blake, because it's obvious two people traumatized by the same abuser will inevitably retraumatize each other? They're small-scale, but they're still the Pure. The Pure are in every conspiracy theory, and every attempt to make the world "make sense" that pretends the world has an obligation to make sense to you.

For the sake of honesty, “transmisandry doesn’t exist” should be followed by “so I’m creating it.”

A comparison: when someone argues that it’s an exaggeration to say that women who accuse men of rape have their reputations destroyed. The inevitable followup is to attempt to destroy women’s reputations.

I don’t think the people who say trans women have male privilege and the people who say trans men have male privilege realize they’re mirrors of each other.

Just saw TME discourse in the wild, and discovered it’s just tucute discourse for people who would have been berated as tucute. This is not fucking Among Us!
