1. Find and follow blogs by/for trans women and non binary, assigned-male trans people. Read, read, read. Reblog posts that need to be shared. Don’t comment or ask questions unless specifically invited to. If the blog says “for transwomen” or “for people who are assigned male” then it’s probably not a good idea to add any commentary if you’re not either of those.



2. If someone is not a man, they do not have male privilege. Period. End of story. It doesn’t matter how they present or if they’re out or not. You have to be a man, any kind of man, to have male privilege. That’s why it’s called male privilege (and trans guys, you can have male privilege without cis privilege. There is a difference, and being trans does not erase male privilege regardless of presentation or anything else).



3. No one is saying that people who are assigned female never experience oppression. The type of oppression that trans women and non binary people who are assigned male face, however, is a LOT more prevalent, violent, and deadly than the type of oppression people who are assigned female face. Dealing with transphobia is bad enough, but imagine dealing with transphobia AND transmisogyny all at once.



4. Don’t just follow white trans people. TWOC and male-assigned POC are the most vulnerable in our community. Only listening to and supporting those who are white is not progress whatsoever. Also don’t just follow able-bodied, neurotypical, wealthy, skinny trans people either.



5. Always reblog crowdfunding links, even if you can’t donate.



6. Do not use trans* with the asterisk. This was used as a way to silence trans women and non binary people. Just use trans.



I’m sure there’s more I could add but I’m sick right now and mentally foggy.
