re: that post about kalvin garrah i feel like a lot of the people who use him as an excuse to shit on trans men either don't know or don't care that like 90% of the people he was harassing and harming were other transmascs. i don't wanna diminish the harm he did to any other trans people, but i do think that it's... interesting that people use the harm he did to transmascs as a reason for themselves to also harm transmascs

on one side trans men get "of course you face gendered oppression youre FEMALE get over this ftm thing and start shaving your legs again" on the other side trans men get "i think youre making things up, you dont experience gendered oppression, youre MALE!" do we not see the problem here
a big contributing factor to transmasc invisibility is that the nuance of their existence shatters the men = perpetrators and women = victims dogma. you are not gonna meaningfully unpack transphobia until you realize that cisness and conformity is intrinsic to male privilege. and that defining gender by suffering is incredibly harmful.

plural/system tumblr is p cool but unfortunately it is full of Posters with no poetic sensibility. it's all "which OSDD subtype do you have" and discourse about "the validity of endogenic systems." i want to ask everybody about whether or not [ENTERING THE STATIC OCEAN] relieves or worsens [THE RATTLING] for them but like nobody is gonna know what im talking about
