i honestly and earnestly hope that transfems can feel more welcome in the lolisho/cub community, cuz as it stands... i don't know many transfems here. especially ones that continue to exist in this space.
there's a lot at hand as to why we're not that prevalent here, so many interweaving and complex discussions that it's not worth trying to talk about in just a single post. at that point it just breaks down into general feminist discussion points.
it's a god damn battle just trying to stay alive, and try to understand everything ever that happens to us, i wouldn't be surprised to know there are a lot more transfem people in this community... that just don't want to signal as such, because that makes them a giant target to literally everyone, queer or not, and within this very community or not.
i guess this is moreso a post complaining about transmisogyny, but it does directly impact my ability to interact with this space, and it's impacted me in ways i couldn't have accounted for.
i feel uniquely isolated and alone here, even with my own instance i've built, with a big motivator being cultivating a space for other transfems to safely interact with this stuff. and solidarity only goes so far when push comes to shove, and suddenly i'm being alienated by people i once trusted in this space.
