General Leftism

I believe that there cannot and should not be anarchism without communism. Mutual aid should be the main goal of everyone everywhere in the short term. That said, I like to learn from different kinds of leftists.

Antitransmasculinity

Readings on antitransmasculinity as a force in society, overwhelmingly wielded by cis people, against people perceived to be transmasculine.

I strongly disagree with the usage of the words "transandrophobia" and "transmisandry" as they imply that misandry is real. Instead, I think transmasculine and transfeminine people face equal, though sometimes different, types of violence and transphobia.
