Completely brain-melted terf
i honestly don’t know other activist transphobes than the completely brain-melted kind. The main difference is if they’re ex-feminist-turned-fascist, clericofascist, or techbro fascist, but all of them are rotten, vile, totally unhinged monomaniacs.
I’ve seen Umberto Eco’s checklist simultaneously be rejected and accepted by the left. Some will say that it’s non-Marxist and prefer not to use it, but if anybody here says “the enemy is both strong and weak,” nobody (that I’ve seen) rejects that rhetoric device.
Ur-fascism should be understood and used as what it is, an essay on the semiotics of fascism. It works as a critique of ideology, and it works very well in that regard. What it does not achieve at all, because that lies outside of the scope of that essay, is explaining the historic and material roots of fascism, which is where the usual Marxist explanations come into play, such as the essay you’re quoting, or the definition by Dimitroff that expanded upon Stalin’s theory of social fascism, Trotzkis counterpoints to that (that put more emphasis on the role of the petit bourgeoisie), the (debatable and in my opinion subcomplex) “agent theory” used in the DDR or later post-colonial variations like the concept of Foucault’s Boomerang or Fanon’s writings. When used correctly, Eco isn’t contradictory to these, but complementary.

or don’t, be gay and do crime, both are good options
Usually better opinions on current events than people my age
I’d even say that young people today have better opinions on current events than people my age had when they were their age. Most late Gen Xers were always awful about politics, just pure end of history garbage. We’re the generation that grew up with AES being replaced by Pizza Hut and shock therapy, and the kids these days grow up with the planet being set on fire by capitalism, so this shouldn’t surprise anybody.

what does being visibly trans mean to you? like, emotionally. do you think it’s important? is it something that you’re comfortable with?
Well first of all, i have no fucking idea what “being visibly trans” entails as long as you do not hold up a sign saying “out and proud trans warrior”. I’m a bit over one and a half years into the physical part my transition (you can add two more years for questioning and transitioning socially) and i wouldn’t say that i have had particularly great starting conditions for passing, but it actually seems to work reasonably well for me since i got rid of my facial hair and started growing my boobs. I don’t feel as if i’m “visibly trans”, and that’s not even getting into how many trans people i know who do not have any commonly understood visible clichés of transness or how many cis people do have a ton of these supposed telltale signs. From my lived experience, i do not think that “being visibly trans” is a thing for most of us once we’re a few years into our transitions.
And then there’s girls who started transitioning literally 20 years earlier than me, who have much more visible curves, who i do not perceive as having bad passing at all, yet they make plausible claims that they’ve never gotten gendered correctly by strangers a single time in their life, and they have the history of being victims to hate crimes to prove it. And i seriously don’t know why they go through life with such hardships and i don’t. It makes zero sense to me. I don’t get what constitutes “visible transness”, there seems to be very little connecting the transfems i know who pass most of the time and there seems to be very little connecting those that don’t. It comes off as incredibly random in either case.
i think passing fully would be great but i don’t know who i’d be if i lost that thread tugging at my heart when i’m waiting in line at the store or whatever.
For me, it mostly meant that i stopped viewing transness as a deficit narrative and now view it entirely as a liberatory and subversive experience. When i do not pass, i violate established notions of gender because i refuse to be put in a neatly labeled box and confuse people with my gender presentation and when i do pass, i violate established notions of gender as well because i’m fully free from the restrictions people who want to assign me the wrong gender try to pin on me and because i prove the “you can always tell” crowd wrong. I win either way, cisnormativity loses either way.
And this is infinitely better than all this dysphoria-centric bs and all this passing-obsessed bs that i’m so fucking fed up with. I’m not a fan of how our community commonly talks about the trans experience, hexbear isn’t even a particularly bad place in this regard and reading the mega is still a minefield of self hatred and internalised transphobia where i just scroll past all the spoilers, and past all the shit that should be spoilered and wonder what i’m doing here. I do not let myself be defined by suffering and pain and never being good enough, fuck that noise. I’m free in a hundred ways cishets can’t even conceive off, i’m out there finally being me and finally living the life i’ve always deserved, why should i feel anything but joy about being trans? And don’t give me any of this “but being cis would be so much easier” crap, i do not know a single cis woman who’s happy in the way i am.
crushing on two cute trans girls at the same time and knowing that both are fine with that feels so good omg

lmao i need some of those
Yeah, it absolutely is absurd, but a ton of libs out there don’t even clear that bar and will fold to transphobes as soon as they face backlash like that.

potential red flag tbh
are you in any way dependent on the guy? Like, does the place you live require psychological gatekeeping such as recommendation letters for gender affirming care?
“lol” said the scorpion, “lmao”
I’m going for a very similar process (main difference being that the triangular pieces that are removed in the gif towards the end get added to the vaginal walls for more depth, and that the procedure involves removing all scrotal follicles from the inside so i don’t have to get that done through electrolysis in advance) and from what several of my friends told me, the pain is manageable. Really strong painkillers are normally only needed in the first few days.
Had the urge to upbear immediately without even reading the thread. I’m glad for you that you made that decision, i can say for myself that getting off all the hellsites was a pretty big improvement for my mental health, general mood and blood pressure.
