people are hating on @predstrogen for "bringing tumblr attitudes to cohost" and it's just fucking dawned on me that was the exact thing people said when i was The Discourse Of The Week on here. and that was over a fucking Twitter-themed CSS post generator.

didn't even cross my mind once at the time but now i cannot fucking help but reevaluate the backlash i got. how much of the issue was me "bringing Twitter vibes to Cohost" and how much of it was a style of posting you didn't like from a gobby tranny who didn't match the vibes but still gained traction??

either:

  1. people on cohost fucking hate trans women
  2. people on here are so concerned with maintaining the "Vibes" of Cohost that they're willing to repeatedly make trans women feel alienated

and i'd honestly rather it was point number 1. at least then it's just straight-up transmisogyny. but it's looking more like point number 2: a lot of people on here value ~Vibes~ over, y'know, actual real people. Vibes are more important than *checks smudged note* Tranned Womens

to be adored and gawked over as an object, a curiosity to be fetishized and to be dissected at every possible moment, to have your identity be scooped out by others in order to become more palatable for them and to be wholly divorced from you and your identity.

and, in the same breath--to be scorned and to be crushed underfoot entirely, to be viewed as not a woman nor a man, but as a thing to be discarded and ignored at the earliest possible convenience. to be something seen as inherently sexual and hostile, an anti-human who's identity is to be innately invalidated and to be kicked with steel-toed boots lest it become too vocal and inconvenient. to be a thing to be forced into a sieve to become smaller and smaller. to be repeatedly denied access and resources, where others get impartial safe passage without any question.

to be viewed as a grendel, a monster to be hunted, to be chased out for the safety of the community at large.

this is how it is. this is how it is like as a transfem. as a TMA person.

do you understand?
