I was attempting to write a term paper on the "how trans men can be misogynistic towards trans women" topic, but there just isn't enough academic material out there that qualifies. And having a space like this even in casual writing is important. I hope you can keep going with this blog. :-) Gotta say, this is kind of brilliant.

My focus in this post wasn't on female assigned genderqueers and other non-male identified, female assigned transgender people. But taking your comment as is, I think given that what "woman" means is "identifying as a woman" then anyone identified as a man would necessarily be included in what I was talking about here. Frankly, the W4W category is binary, so i am talking about people in the binary (in one way or another) here. Honestly, I also have met plenty of trans men who will twist their own identities just to continue accessing space where cissexual men would not be allowed. But in general, i didn't write this post to try to police women's spaces. It was a piece to encourage further thought. Thanks for stopping by.

(e.g., Man in the streets, dyke in the sheets; been on hormones but had no surgery and no plan to do so) According to you, do they fit in the wfw section?

Seems to me that besides participating in transmisogyny, enforcing binary gender ideology, and undermining the "realness" of a trans guy's male status, what posting in W4W does is *stop trans men from transforming masculinity from the inside." OK, so there's mass frustration that women avoid M4W because tons of guys are creeps. Well, if people actually tapped that frustration and collaborated to change the creepculture, then it would serve women who use the board and trans men who want female partners well. I mean, that's a lot harder (collective action, work) then just freeloading on W4W. But in the long term it would be sooooo much better for everyone involved. Even creepy cis guys who could benefit from a little consciousness raising. Great post.

I do think ftms (and some, but as far as I can tell fewer, male-identified transitioned men) participating in a space by virtue of genitalia or chromosome status (add an "assumed" in front of both of those) or nebulous ideas around socialization *does* harm trans women who wish to participate in those spaces (particularly if they identify themselves as trans women). that's the yes. but the no is -- butchfemmematchmaker is not a "lesbian" website as far as I can tell, and many people in butch femme communities don't identity as women and would be offended and think it presumptuous to be assumed to identify as women. Butchfemmematchmaker explicitly allows trans men to take part if they are willing to label themselves ftms----women's space seems to me to be different. I think if craigslist could be moved to create a queer4queer or ftm4w category, that might be a slightly more apt comparison to butchfemmematchmaker.

I agree with everything he said but think you have a point about butchfemmematchmaker too. What do you disagree with, Raicalyffe?
