1. ¿Qué es la transfobia?
La transfobia se manifiesta de diversas formas, desde el uso incorrecto intencional de pronombres hasta la negación del derecho a existir de las personas trans. Muchos usuarios enfatizan que la transfobia no se limita a acciones directas, sino que también incluye actitudes y creencias subyacentes.
- "that's literally what the transphobia is. If you misgender someone intentionally it's transphobia".
- "transphobia isn't just repeatedly misgendering and deadnaming. Transphobia includes believing that trans people don't have the right to exist as who they are.".
- "transphobia is basically finding dangerous for society to let people choose their own name and fashion style. How fucking stupid is that.".
2. El 'Misgendering' y el 'Deadnaming' como actos de transfobia.
El uso incorrecto de pronombres (misgendering) y el uso del nombre anterior de una persona trans (deadnaming) son identificados consistentemente como actos de transfobia, incluso cuando se dirigen a personas trans que son consideradas "malas" o "terribles". La comunidad trans considera estas acciones como dañinas y perjudiciales para todos los individuos trans.
- "deadnaming someone is transphobia. Point blank. No nuance to be had there. If you do it, you're being transphobic. How fucking hard is that to comprehend?".
- "misgendering a transphobe is still transphobia. Deadnaming a trans woman who supports a political ideology that will hurt her is transphobia. Just because people are terrible doesn’t mean that you get to have a little transphobia as a treat.".
- "it's not suddenly okay to misgender and deadname a person to "prove a point" because you're making trans support contingent on perceived morality. Transphobia against an awful person is still transphobia. This isn't hard.".
3. Transfobia internalizada y la comunidad Trans.
El documento también aborda la transfobia internalizada, incluso dentro de la comunidad trans. Se discute cómo algunos individuos trans pueden perpetuar la transfobia hacia otros, a menudo a través de juicios sobre la validez de las identidades de género o expresiones de género.
- "internalized transphobia they need to confront cause why tf you misgendering strangers.".
- "when i get the "i'm trans" but doesn't even put pronouns in bio, i wonder about their internalized transphobia.".
- "real trans people won't misgender even those we hate. She is caitlyn and abandoning that fundamental borderline basic acceptance is wrong. Stop projecting your internalised transphobia.".
4. El uso de "They/Them" y la transfobia.
El uso de pronombres neutros como "they/them" es un tema complejo. Si bien puede ser apropiado en ciertas situaciones, como cuando los pronombres de una persona son desconocidos, el uso persistente de "they/them" para referirse a una persona trans que usa otros pronombres se considera transfóbico.
- "using they passively and otherwise gendering her correctly is not transphobia. Get over yourself.".
- "that “they” is not the correct way to refer to someone when you know their pronouns, especially after using my pronouns correctly before then. That doesn’t make you a transphobe, it is just something i’d ask you to refrain from doing in future.".
- "only using gender neutral pronouns for a trans woman is degendering the goal is to "other" us because we "don't deserve to be grouped in with real women." it is subtle transphobia and allies just brush it off because we aren't being outright misgendered".
5. Combatir la transfobia: Educación y respeto.
El documento enfatiza la importancia de la educación y el respeto como herramientas clave para combatir la transfobia. Esto incluye escuchar a las personas trans, respetar sus identidades y pronombres, y desafiar activamente los comportamientos y actitudes transfóbicas.
- "fellow cis people, listen to what trans people are saying about this! misgendering, deadnaming, and all other forms of transphobia are the weapons of the enemy. We don't need them. We will not use them.".
- "if someone’s brave enough to be openly trans, you can be brave enough to call out transphobia. Make it awkward. Make it public.".
- "transphobia is not a punishment you dish out to trans people you've deemed as unworthy. All trans people deserve to have their names & pronouns respected.".
