trans woman sociology experiment:
a post-op trans woman who is androgynous to pass as anything she wants, does the following:
- presents as femme/andro
- presents as butch/andro
- claims to be DMAB trans*
- claims to be DFAB trans*
and, combine all 4 for a total of 4 options.
she goes to clubs multiple times as one set and the following happens:
when presenting as femme, she is picked up less often
when presenting as butch, she is picked up more often (except when ID’ing as DMAB, is then turned down after coming out)
This demonstrates the privileging of masculinity we see in queer circles
now for the other half:
when claiming to be DMAB trans*, she is almost never invited for hookups after being picked up
when claiming to be DFAB trans*, she is almost always invited for hookups after being picked up
wow transmisogyny and anti-femininity all rolled into one ball
but you know, daring to declare the ways in which trans women are desexualized in queer “women’s” communities, is rape culture
what I like most about this is how many camab trans people are commenting to say ”oh, yeah, i’ve done this too”- its like, even before it was a ~thing~ that we talked about or whatever, its something we’ve been experimenting with for a while because the disparity, even before named, is intuitively understood. And so, lol, same experience over here~
