Hello! Local Fascism Expert Here, And I'm Gonna Be Talking About A Common Transandrophobic Theme That

Hello! Local fascism expert here, and I'm gonna be talking about a common transandrophobic theme that I see a lot, and how it's actually a sign of fascism!

I'd like to introduce you to the philosopher/medievalist/social commentator Umberto Eco. He grew up in Fascist Italy under Mussolini, the OG Fascist (he literally invented the term).

Eco wrote an essay titled "Ur-Fascism" which has a list of 14 "criteria" or "features" that you'll see in fascist regimes

You can find a translated copy of this book here (as the original was in Italian)

I'd like to point you to point 8, pasted here for your ease of reading:

The followers must feel humiliated by the ostentatious wealth and force of their enemies. When I was a boy I was taught to think of Englishmen as the five-meal people. They ate more frequently than the poor but sober Italians. Jews are rich and help each other through a secret web of mutual assistance. However, the followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak. Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy.

An element of fascism is painting those you see as the "enemy" or "inferiors" (here, Jewish people) as both "ultra powerful", and "weak" at the same time. Another modern example is what Americans saw with Trump painting Biden as this ultra powerful, scheming mastermind who rigged elections in his favor, as well as a senile old fart who can't tell his hands from his feet. Strong... but weak.

Now, what other group of people are painted as both these ultra powerful monsters who hold power, privilege, and are sexual and violent predators, while also being weak, pathetic, little softbois who contribute nothing to the world?

Time and time again, you see trans men and transmascs painted as evil predators who are a threat, while also being "weak, frail, ex-women". This is legitimate fascist rhetoric, and I'm surprised that nobody else has picked up on the direct link between this contradiction and the emerging threat (or existing threat) of fascism that we see every single day.

Hell, there's a few other traits in that essay that fit their rhetoric as well, but I wanted to keep this post focused on the most commonly seen one.

So, yeah, TMA/TME users really are only one step away from being fascists (if anything, they're fascism enablers), and they need to realize this before it's too late.

I'm just gonna say it: people using the term "transandrobros" gives me the exact same vibe as people saying "feminazis".

Aside from the compulsion to claim historical trans men as women for feminist history, I've also noticed attempts to neutralize trans men into non binary figures.

Of course, language surrounding non binary identities in the western world is relatively new, so someone from the 1800s might have had some long winded way of saying they were non binary.

But take the case of Megillus from Lucien's writings in Ancient Greece, who will say "I am entirely a man" and still have people being like, oh they're just a confused little girl product of restricted language. There is no way they really mean it when they say explicitly they are 100% a man. Obvious example of non-binary identity.

Obviously non binary people deserve to see themselves in history, but like...c'mon...

Just something I've noticed in my research into trans men of the past

whenever a bigot says they do not trust a minority because one of them hurt them there will be someone who isn't part of that minority who says something like "well they never hurt me or made me feel bad!"

and I understand where this comes from, I understand that it's trying to form allyship with said minority and tell the bigot that not everyone is bad

but it really feels like conditional acceptance

I've seen some shit in my years, I've seen lesbian radfems, gay men tehms, trans women who try to trigger trans men on purpose and trans men who try to trigger trans women right back, aro and ace separatists, the list goes on and on (and this is just in the queer community the stuff I've seen in the disabled community is even worse)

and absolutely none of this has ever made me go "well this minority must then be filled with evil people who deserve to feel bad, or do not deserve to be talking about their oppression"

minorities are composed of human beings and as human beings we aren't perfect all the time. and I understand allies that want to tell bigots that we aren't all bad. but simply saying "well *I* never got treated badly by this group" isn't actually gonna make any bigot change their mind. and please, don't change your mind if one person of said group *does* treat you badly

That's because a certain contingent of these folks think that tranny is a term only trans women get to claim since, apparently, trans mascs are never the victim of this word (they say, while calling us shit like trannyboy as if adding the word boy to it makes it not the same word)

trans men who talk about how much ~male privilege~ they have are fucking class traitors lmao. like congrats on your extremely fucking conditional shield from violence but a lot of us don't pass like that and even if we do we're still at risk of violence if anyone figures out we aren't actually what cis society considers "real men". stop throwing other trans men under the bus just because You Specifically have managed not to be clockable in cis society, lol.
