After 20 years in the Army, Master Sergeant Amiah Sale’s future hangs in the balance.
The Trump administration has made it a mission to purge all transgender service members from the military, but as the trans military ban makes its way through the courts, some service members, like Sale, are spending their days in limbo.
Well, to my understanding, Hegseth wants extra-Teed up dudes, yes? And she is not an extra-Teed up dude. This is actually gender-affirming.
Bet they’d take a trans dude who’s already on T and give him even more.

yea, rowling was pretty hateful towards MTF, she is silent FTM types. its probably msygoyny in play though. come to think of it, we rarely hear hate/critcism towards FTM, so i think its also pure misogyny.
I don’t think it’s pure misogyny. I think in particular terfs are not motivated by misogyny but by fear. I think there’s also the fact that trans men just tend to pass better.
I’ve thought about this before, but don’t see it as misogyny. After all, they don’t see MTF as women. I think it has something in common with gay men receiving more hate and being bigger victims of violence than lesbian women. Maybe it does have something to do with rejecting traditional masculinity - which can be related to misogyny, but is a separate thing.
And yet she posted an upskirt of a trans woman to silence her. They say they don’t see us as women, but aside from comfort using assault they tend to attack us in ways associated with misogyny. A special class of women, certainly, but ultimately there’s a misogynistic character to it that I don’t see in how gay men are mistreated.
Didn’t know about that. That’s… Certainly something. Like I knew about stuff she said and believed, but had no clue it ever got to that point.
Anyway, purely on the discussion of word choice and the psychology behind it, I’m still not sure sure if that would classify as misogyny. I assume she posted that picture because she saw it as “proof” (in her eyes) that that person was a man. So, from her point of view, the hate is being directed towards men and not women. Even if they are women from our POV, the hate is really coming from a place of hate towards men IMO, or at least what they see as unmanly men. If it was mainly stemming from a hate of women, I imagine a lot more of them would target trans men instead.
Yeah that’s a common conclusion transfeminists come to. And yeah, a lot of transmisogyny seems to come from the anger and confusion at the fact that we’re rejecting the more powerful social role (and body type) for one that they see as inferior in some way or that they recognize as having it harder.
Please rethink keeping it, transformers is sadly often used as a slur against us.
Also assuming you intended to say ‘men to women transgenders’, that’s not much better. ‘Male to female transgender people’ is respectful however.

On the first point, it’s a bit different if someone is saying it about themselves/their people. And is probably something better kept for in-group chats where that context is known.
Thanks for changing that and I know you didn’t mean any disrespect.
On the second, hmm bit trickier. I could see arguments for/against. I’ve personally never seen that wording used, most people say something like ‘mtf trans’, trans woman, or trans femme which includes more than just trans women but still those who would face such transmisogyny.

“Take me back to the good old days… Back when men were men, and women were men, and the children were men!”
he wants to be surrounded by HIGH-T men, strapping,muscular men.
Yeah, who doesn’t?
Lesbians?
Me, they’re usually dicks. Supplementing too much extra T makes the brain go wonky, especially with the kind of men that tend to do that sort of thing.
