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. See also my boyfriend's politics page.

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.

• Making Sense Out of the Murders of Trans Men: "The common misgendering of trans murder victims obscures any remotely accurate numbers we could quote about the actual prevalence of this phenomenon.".
• : "...trans men's relationship to gender cannot be understood by adding the privilege of maleness to the oppression of transness; the interaction between these axes substantively transforms both such that it generates an experience qualitatively different from either alone."
