"Antitransmasculinity and transmisogyny are therefore mutually reinforcing realities and the groups we should center here are Black, poor, disabled transfems and transmascs. Tired of yt ppl nonsense clogging up my feed."

My current Work In Progress (WIP) starts off with an American transwoman living in exile in Canada because getting caught existing while trans had become a felony in the U.S.. Several beta readers laughed at this, refusing to believe that this would ever be a possibility here in the good ol' U.S. of A.
In New Hampshire, not only have lawmakers proposed that any transwoman using the "wrong" bathroom is guilty of "willful trespass", but House Bill 1442 makes this applicable to private businesses, not just state-owned properties.
Oddly, the law would only apply to transwomen, not transmen. I invite you to speculate wildly on that point.

What surprised me wasn’t the outrage from the right. It was the frustration from some corners of our own community.
“Of course they picked the pretty ones.”
“Yes, but how is that helpful to us when they all have passing privilege?”
“Where are the trans women who look like us?”

It must become a moral imperative for the #dolls to fight, from the bottom up, with commitment and #fury. Fighting means #organizing, studying, being humble, not repeating the same dynamics that #cissexism imposes, and above all remembering that, as dolls, as #TransWomen, we are part, whether we like it or not, of a lineage of dolls before us who fought fiercely to give us the two rights we have, and that the community we deserve will never fall from the sky by divine grace, but we must build it ourselves, with our nails and teeth, in order to have dignified material conditions. For us european dolls, the US may seem far away, but those of us with our eyes open know that it is just around the corner.
We need practices and methods that are adapted to our conditions and do not seek assimilation. We need to learn to name the faces of our oppression because it goes beyond simple #transphobia. What dolls suffer from is #transmisogyny and as such it must be defined, just as all other facets need their own name. We need our own commitment because there are no messiahs or prince charming ready to save us.

"While I believe that creating space for people who exist outside of the male/female binary remains a cause worth fighting for, those of us who are transsexual must begin to simultaneously develop our own language and concepts that accurately articulate our unique experiences and perspectives and to fill in the many gaps that exist in both gatekeeper and transgender activist language. I contend that this work should begin with a thorough critique of cissexual privilege" - Julia Serano
Can we please discuss it? As a baby #TranssexualWoman, I truly don't feel represented by the overall #trans discourse, which I find, in one word, assimilationist. Love xoxo Selini⚧︎

What a summer it was. I'm 25 weeks on E, I've studied like crazy (and I keep doing it, especially #JuliaSerano), I've had my first true experience with #TransMisogyny when I was forced to flee the apartment in which I had been living for a year and a half because my ex flatmate was abusive and the landlord didn't care, I started a #queer collective and I left it a few days ago because the rest of the members did not care (and at one point someone wanted to admit a cis straight man eww), I started psychotherapy...and a lot more than I can remember now. I never got bored in my life but dammit it was the longest journey so far and, honestly? I can't wait to see what's coming next.

Instead of wondering why so many trans boys are seeking gender-affirming care in adolescence, the research leaves us asking: why aren’t more trans girls seeking gender-affirming care in adolescence, and instead waiting until they’re older to seek treatment — and, presumably, to come out as trans?
