1. La Transfobia como una Forma de Sexismo.
La idea central es que la transfobia es fundamentalmente sexismo. Los argumentos transfóbicos se basan en creencias sexistas sobre la inferioridad de las mujeres, la rigidez de los roles de género y la definición de las personas por sus genitales, reciclando viejas narrativas misóginas.
- It is really important to understand that transphobia is foremost a type of sexism.
- This is not an original observation at all but transphobia really is just sexism. All of their arguments boil down to "women are weak little idiots compared to men and they must be separated".
- Transphobia is sexist. Homophobia is sexist. Feminism which fails to protect these groups is sexist. Trans people are the first line of defense against sexism. Transphobia hurts everyone.
- Never forget transphobia is just repackaged homophobia which is just repackaged misogyny and sexism.
- You can tell transphobia is actually just sexism because every transphobe will just ignore the existence of trans males every time they slide their unwashed asses into a trans creator's comments or replies and go "tr** are men lul". All anti-trans language is distinctly aimed at trans females.
2. Misoginia: El Motor del Odio Anti-Trans.
La transfobia, especialmente la transmisoginia, se nutre del odio y la devaluación de lo femenino. Se ataca a las mujeres trans por "convertirse" en mujeres, un género considerado inferior, mientras que los hombres trans son a menudo borrados o infantilizados, lo que también refleja una visión misógina que les niega la agencia.
- Transphobia is cheaply disguised misogyny. Make claims about saving women and children, then you can co-opt women and use them as a shield against claims of sexism, all the while passing legislation that hurts all queer/femme people at once.
- Most notably transphobia comes directly from sexism and misogyny, if you see a transphobe, you see a sexist piece of shit.
- The routine erasure of trans men is just an expression of misogyny. And the routine vilification of trans women is just an expression of . Misogyny. Transphobia is just sexism .
- Ultimately it’s sexism. Hear me out. You see how they never talk about trans men. It’s all trans women bc to a sexist “wanting to be a woman” makes them even worse than women themselves. To them. They hate women but hate trans women more.
3. El Sexismo Oposicional y la Imposición de Roles.
La transfobia se basa en el "sexismo oposicional", la creencia de que hombres y mujeres son categorías rígidas, opuestas y mutuamente excluyentes. Las personas trans desafían esta idea, lo que provoca una reacción violenta que busca reforzar los roles de género tradicionales y castigar a quienes los transgreden.
- This is a classic example of what . Calls "oppositional sexism" in whipping girl: the idea that men and women are functionally different species, behaviorally, cognitively, and physically. It's the basis for 90% of the gc movement's transphobic bullshit.
- Trans women suffer both oppositional sexism (how dare you transgress the immutable gender binary) and traditional sexism (women are inferior to men).
- Transphobia from what i've seen at least reinforces sexism, across the board. It mandates people be a certain way according to their genitals and it gatekeeps people from their gender, even if they're born that gender.
- Transphobia is sexism if you have a penis you must have these characteristics if you have a vagina you must have these characteristics the more transphobic a person is the more sexist they are the more sexist a society is the more transphobic it is this should be obvious but apparently it isn't.
4. La Intersección con Otros Prejuicios.
La transfobia no existe en el vacío; está intrínsecamente ligada a otras formas de odio como el racismo, la homofobia y el capacitismo. Estos prejuicios comparten una raíz común en la defensa de jerarquías sociales y la penalización de quienes se desvían de una norma restrictiva.
- I believe the biggest open secret of transphobia is "transphobia is secretly ableism, sexism, and racism all thrown into one package".
- Sexism, racism, homophobia and transphobia are all the same thing. They are all the fretful, desperate response of an insecure person to the idea that people different from them have something to offer the world.
- The transphobia is knotted up with racism, sexism and homophobia! it’s all about setting a very narrow model of white male humanity at the top and punishing everyone else based on our distance from that “ideal.”.
- Transphobia, racism, and sexism overlap. H/t .
5. Un Ataque que Perjudica a Todos.
Al reforzar normas de género estrictas, la transfobia no solo daña a las personas trans, sino también a las personas cis. Se convierte en un vehículo para reintroducir el sexismo en la sociedad bajo la apariencia de "proteger" a las mujeres, lo que en última instancia limita la libertad de expresión de género de todos.
- It kind of sucks to convince some people to care about transphobia i have to make them realise it's hate against all non conforming identities, it seeks to push gender roles further into place and therefore affects even cis people through extreme sexism.
- If a trans woman's womanhood can be denied or questioned, anyone's womanhood can be denied or questioned. Transphobia is an expression of sexism.
- Yeah i keep telling people that transphobia is the vehicle in which sexists were allowed to bring sexism back and be lauded for it after the brief anti-sexism cultural shift in the 2010s.
- It was never about trans women, it was about all women. Transphobia is just the precursor for classic sexism.
