how does one find a community of friends they can build meaningful connections with when it feels like too much of a risk to put trust in anyone and open up to them again? i'm unsure where i can go that will be safe. i've tried it all and still end up trapped

genuinely have to wonder if the people who argue tma/tme are sex essentialist terms are just forgetting that gender-conforming cisperisex men usually aren't affected by transmisogyny or what

god seeing every trans-positive space (online and offline) that i used to consider safe become gradually more and more toxic to transfem people over the past year and a half or so has been genuinely heart shattering. it's been affecting me for a while but it didn't fully hit me until the other day when one of the last places i expected it to show up started complaining about TMA/TME terminology. i'm glad all of my close actual friends are actually safe for me and willing to confront transmisogynistic ideology now but seriously. when are we going to be allowed to say that we're oppressed on the intersectional axis? when are we going to be listened to? when is anything going to change?
