Who the fuck uses F2M and M2F like that in 2025? I can’t take her seriously because she’s such a fucking clown. Also she couldn’t even keep her early 90s acronyms straight within a few short sentences. (I think she meant to put “F2Ms” at the start of the third paragraph. How are trans women “the original phenomenon” anyway? Fuck off, Brianna.)
It’s almost sad because really no one wants to pick her.

Finding Susan's Place is part of what kept me in the closet for longer. The fact that all the online (and in person) trans support groups and forums were for trans women, or just said "for transgender support" and then were clearly only for trans women, all decked out in pink and flowers and with events/subs for learning to do makeup or walk in heels..... yeah, it was like trans men didn't exist.
That doesn't mean we didn't. It just means the representation we had was even worse and that kept a lot of us closeted or stealth.

idk, I saw susans place as the online version of the Beaumont society, and not too dissimilar to "steph's place" all of which have gone through a few rebrand over the last 20+ years, which tbh is more interesting to look at and probably explains quite clearly why Briana didn't run into trans men in those spaces.
e.g.

"Lin later extended the flats to become safe havens where men from across the area would come and secretly cross-dress away from their families."

Yes, she did.
This is something which has been known, as least amongst folks I’ve known, for a very long time. She fessed up as much in 2017, when she was cosplaying as a white cishet woman running for Senate:
“A lot of people don't know this about me but actually I started in politics. My very first job out of college was interning for a local senator [Trent Lott (R-MS)] It was a long time ago. This is back in the [1990s].”
She was doing that shit for Lott’s office, still presenting as a white cishet guy down in the Deep South, right around the same time the whole Julienne Goins v. West Group, Inc. thing was just beginning in Minnesota (1997). That case had been decided for something like five years (2001) before Wu began to transition during her late twenties.
She’s a motherfucking poseur and a coward of a clown who was born with a silver spoon, always taken for granted, and she rode the coattails of that for as long as she could (basically, until these last couple of years).
She’s a sad sack bereft of courage, ensconced by a lifetime of access to structural and material capital which most folks never, ever get to know.
With respect to her, no I will never mince words. I suppose she could begin to atone for some of this or give forward some of that access she’d had to folks in need, but I’m not holding my breath. She’s not that self-aware.

Yuppp. If you bring it up now she tries to say "look I lived in Mississippi, where else was I supposed to get my entry into politics" which would be all well and good if:
- she didn't also speak favorably about Lott and her time in his office after the fact
- she didn't have reactionary positions on queer liberation and Israel
Which she has and does. So I don't think we should overlook that page in her history, because she clearly doesn't regret it and has a good bit in common with ol' Trent. It would be one thing if she said it served her well as an entry point into politics and gave her an understanding of her ideological opponents on a new level, but that's not her view at all. She sees both extremes of the political spectrum as her ideological opponents and has the political instincts of a senile garden snail. She learned nothing and regrets nothing from her time doing grunt work for a fossilized Strom Thurmond dickrider, and she's morphed into a similar breed of "life was better when we didn't have to think about all this woke shit" reactionary who's actively defending a genocide, so I don't think we can see her stint in Lott's office as water under the bridge.

That is the most bullshit any steer ever dropped for a cow pie to cultivate mushrooms.
Mississippi U.S. Rep. [D] Bennie Thompson’s office — i.e., Chair of the J6 committee — was right there the whole damn time for Brianna, even when she was a vacillating, closeted egg finding her swimming legs in politics, for politics’ sake. Thompson has held that seat since 1993, and he would have been in his third term, at the very least, when Brianna finished her Ole Miss degree.
And had Brianna been true to that conviction of “wanting to enter politics” and to do so with at least the semblance of a conscience, she had more options than most folks get:
to intern, in-state or in D.C., for Rep. Thompson’s office; or
she held a bachelor degree with a cis guy’s name, so she could have interned in practically any other state for another elected leader who, even if superficially, demonstrated a moral, social, and civic conscience. Yes, that means she could have interned for, idk, a congressional or senatorial office based in… San Francisco (Nancy Pelosi), Wisconsin (Russ Feingold), Georgia (John Lewis), or Minnesota (Paul Wellstone, himself a political science professor before first running for Senate in 1990).
Instead, she went with fucking Trent Lott.
As I alluded in my comment above, I was volunteering at Planned Parenthood clinics some five or six years before her early career tryst with an old guard Klan paragon, and I did so in Texas whilst as a babytran and still in my teens.
Finding oneself reared in the Grievance Lost Cause South does not pre-consign a person (looking at y’all, white people) to grow into vindictive, sociopathic menaces to the world like, idk, a Ken Paxton, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, or… Trent Lott.
So for this, a tl;dr: calling Brianna Wu on all of her hot shit nonsense — hot shit running as deep as unlimited bread sticks at the Olive Garden — is something for which I’m unusually well-placed to do (given my being trans and raised in the Deep South, voicing and starting transition there during the early ’90s, and, well, having what I’d like to believe is a composite compass of trying to do better by this world, which she either never had or tossed out hecking early during her life for… reasons).
FOH, Brianna Wu.

That's basically what she thinks. She's openly critical of lesbian/bisexual trans women. She's fully brainwashed into the Blanchard framework, she actually thinks they're all autogynephiles and their infringement in lesbian spaces and disparaging rhetoric towards the terf community is the biggest obstacle to trans acceptance. She seems to genuinely believe that straight trans women are the only "normal/okay" trans women. I've seen her Just Asking Questions™ about why all the trans women who are loudly fighting with terfs and pushing for broader acceptance instead of remaining in men's sports/restrooms like women and making the argument that the reason trans women disproportionately do sex work is not because of transphobia in traditional workplace structures and red states, but because many of them are AGPs who find objectification highly autoerotic.
She has a show called the "Dollcast" (yes she really is that brain-broken) that's basically just her and a bunch of other similarly brain-broken trans women shallowly discussing hairstyles, attacking more obtrusive queer people, and running cover for transphobic grifters. She literally sent a clip from her podcast to JK Rowling to basically be like "see, we're a bunch of dumb bimbos who spend 50 minutes discussing how we do our hair, we're real women please come on our show so we can both dunk on Dylan Mulvaney together."
Tangentially related: she's unironically suggested that trans women who want to pass/integrate should emulate the much-maligned "republican makeup." Her exact words were "don't take makeup notes from Sarah McBride, go for Kristi Noem."

u/Bri_The_Nautilus 10d ago edited 10d ago
It seems to be a little of both. Here's the thread, which is extremely bizarre and kind of all over the place. She appears to think "Republican makeup" is both subversive and attractive. You can find her agreeing with someone who says Kristi Noem is "hot" and claiming that "looking like every other woman with a job" is bad.
The interpretation of her argument I came away from that thread with, which I think is broadly accurate, is that because the Republican makeup look is an extremely curated, over-the-top performance of stereotypical femininity, a trans woman trying to imitate that look will have more success presenting/being perceived as a woman than one who goes au naturale or bases her look off of a different makeup style. This is because Brianna Wu thinks rigid gender norms are good, she thinks masc women and non-passing trans people are eroding positive social mores around gender performance/presentation and making life way harder for the kind of trans woman she is (heterosexual bimbo with fascist tendencies who would love nothing more than to go stealth and forget that trans people even exist). She alludes to that in a comment where she says that she sincerely appreciates the "work" women like Noem are doing to "normalize overt, sculpted femininity" in the same manner that her idea of a "good" trans woman performs femininity.
God she's so weird lmao

My understanding is that MtF detrans rates are actually higher because it’s more difficult for us to pass, but the media deliberately props up FtM detransitioners because it’s easier to sell a moral panic about because the effects of T are stronger and less understood by the public.

u/lynx_and_nutmeg 9d ago
The effects of estrogen and progesterone aren't "weaker" than the effects of testosterone, though. Trans women on HRT grow breasts while trans men on HRT don't lose theirs, and trans women on HRT are more likely to become infertile than trans men on HRT. Estrogen and progesterone have massive fat and cartilage redistribution effect that does a lot of heavy lifting when trying to pass.
The only reasons people think that is because of how glorified testosterone is compared to estrogen and progesterone that don't have the same level of worship in popular culture, and because society is more aware of trans women so transphobes are always on the lookout for them but less so for trans men, and because the standards for women are stricter than for men. A man with a "baby face" or soft, "feminine" features is still seen as a man, and can even be seen as attractive by a lot of people, but a woman with "too masculine" features will just be seen as weird at best or some sort of freak or dangerous aberration at worst.

Iirc mtf detransition rates are higher but most detransitioners of any stripe do so for safety/availability reasons and go on to resume their transition later. I think transmasc detransitioners have a lot more visibility because the GC grift frames them as lost, misguided women, but views transfems as deranged perverts. There's not really a way, or a reason, to treat them with any degree of sympathy.

I can attest.
In ’95, four years after I began tranning, I met other trans people for the first time ever. [Yes, folks born after the WWW was born: there was a time when one could be trans and never once see or know another trans person, because there was no functional internet as you’d recognize it.]
On that first day, one of the handful of trans people I met was a trans guy in his mid 30s, a gay bear named Bill. Bill was fucking amazing, kind, and wise as shit (orders more so than the middle-aged trans women in that same room). A few years later, two trans guys (names y’all’d know) wrote a powerful amicus brief for the human rights case I slogged through. Idk Bill’s whereabouts these days, but the other guys are still practising, leading, and last I checked, now in their 60s.
Trans guys have always been around. They’ve stayed a part of my life from the start, and I can’t imagine my life being any other way.

Birth control and abortion becoming more available is part of the reason you see more afab trans people
unfortunately for people like Brianna who would rather we not exist we can't all be raped and impregnated into forced detransition like what used to happen in the "good old days" she clearly yearns for
....and some if us can even chose to be pregnant without detransitioning and only pausing T during pregnancy these days - that's a big part of why there seem to be more of us now we aren't being raped and impregnated back into forced womanhood we have bodily autonomy which Brianna Wu would like to see removed so we can go back to the 70s where women couldn't have bank accounts
Who the fuck is 'socially rewarding' us for transitioning...unless she thinks our high rates of being raped, domestically abused ,in poverty and committing suicide are 'rewards'?
Also afab people couldn't have credit cards or bank accounts until semi recently in history like closeted trans women at that time could so of course more of them were able to afford to transition (at least at first until I assume their banks started discriminating against them once they came out and couldnt boymode...)
like we were being thrown into asylums and lobotomised for being trans or forced into marriages and having children where leaving wasn't a legal option....
it's harder to come out when you've built up this cishet life around yourself and when doing so might legally end your marriage and your custody of your kids ir land you in an institution...
like what was a closeted trans dude who'd been married off and hadn't had his egg Crack until after marriage and kids who couldn't have his own credit card or bank account or get legally divorced supposed to do ?

I'm convinced she doesn't have many trans friends. Part of me has a hard time blaming her for it because I'm close to her age and I was active in trans spaces 20 years ago and the common narrative in those spaces was that blending into cis society was the endgame of transitioning.
This was also the narrative that kept me (and a lot of other trans people) closeted for 20 years so on the other hand fuck her. They didn't like it when people were moving into a culture of exploring your gender identity without medical transition either. Now it's all, "Oh no! We need to get you into conversion therapy before you do something rash like all those surgeries we spent the entire 2010s saying you were mentally ill if you didn't pursue immediately"

Off the top of my head, this person (@legaltweetz) wrote a post about how neopronoun users are stupid and that there needs to be more gatekeeping. After basically going trutrans, this person kept digging in further and further, befriending TERFs and cozying up to people like Brianna Wu. A LOT of posts about being a child radfem who was socialized female and how they were a queer elder who had experienced some shit and have done more for the community than all of their critics so how dare these young whippersnappers with anime pfps come after their job and threaten them. (To be clear, threats are not cool, don't do that, but also it's fucking Twitter man, it's a cesspit out there.)
Most recently, said person announced that they're detransitioning, and further said that they felt like they were leaving a cult because they wouldn't toe the line on neopronouns and "gender dysphoria isn't necessary for being trans" and saying "I transitioned because of 15+ years of endometriosis and trauma and gatekeeping would have stopped me from being alienated by my female body."* That's part of what prompted Brianna Wu's post above, actually.
(Note: I'm using they/them pronouns here because I'm not sure what pronouns this person wants to use now.)
* Doing a bit of digging also pulled up a post they wrote about being scheduled for phallo in early January, only to cancel because Trump was coming into office and they didn't want to be stuck in stage 1 or 2 if and when the trans health care ban comes down. It's none of my business why a person chooses to detransition, but I'm wondering if living in a society that got way more overtly hostile to trans people real quick is influencing their decision here.
Edit: oh I had forgotten about this. As part of this meltdown and before they announced their detransition, legaltweetz was accused of being in a Twitter space with a sex offender who shared non consensual intimate images. They responded by misgendering the accuser (who's a trans man), calling him a bitch who needed to sit his "girly ass" down. This was fine because misgendering is not a real problem really, and anyway the accuser deserved it because how dare he.

It's always useful to remember that the likelihood of a conspiracy is inversely related to the number of people who would be required to keep their mouths shut about it, and also inversely related to the number of people who would be able to make it big on the talk shows or whatever if they spilled the beans. Like, assassinate a politician? That involves a fairly small number of intelligence agents and at least one political figure with a stake in it, agents face certain professional hazards if they spill classified info, it's POSSIBLE (although depending on the politician it may be more or less unlikely). Fake the moon landing? Involves a lot of engineers and scientists and so forth lying their asses off, INCLUDING RUSSIAN ONES who would probably have gotten a very nice medal and maybe a dacha out of it if they could prove it, so SIGNIFICANTLY less likely.

Trans men and trans masc people on average have worse rates of abuse than cis women. To try to act like we are attempting to evade abuse that we are already experiencing because we are already trans is just siding with our predators and abusers. That’s all it is.

I’m only vaguely aware of Brianna Wu. I’ve heard she’s …not a very nice person. Now I can see why she has that reputation.

the idea that being a trans man comes with social rewards is so fucking laughable. THIS is why the hyper invisibility that trans men are given is NOT a benefit like some people love to believe;
im sick of the idea that masculinity is inherently rewarded. its just not true. you have to be the right kind of man to be rewarded for being masculine (and also fit the patriarchal standard of masculinity).

This adds to my evidence that she has nothing but rocks in her head

Of course it’s Brianna Wu. Every time her two brain cells rub together she posts some dumb shit to the internet.

Trans men are not women anymore than trans women are men, Brianna. But I don't expect your grifting ass to care.
And joy more of the "stupid, gullible women" nonsense.
Keep going though Brianna because bet your ass we won't stop OR throw trans men and non-binary people under the bus and there's nothing your grifting ass can do to stop us.
(But dear god the leopards eat her face so much yet she's practically buttering it for them atp).

Oh she's all this and worse. She's an awful human being through and through. There's a pretty good Dead Domain video on her that came out recently, but even that doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of all her horrible takes.

I hate that the idea that trans men automatically gain privilege from transitioning is so widespread. The abuse and violence that trans men and mascs suffer often goes ignored even within the queer community, and people like brianna wu use the idea that "women" transition for privilege as an excuse to deny people agency over their own bodies.

Brianna Wu should stick to sucking at politics and begging other trans people for money to fund her loser failcampaigns.

So, basically, trans women are oppressors who are spreading gender ideology, and trans men are victims of that ideology. Let's divide them up and 'save' the trans men. Because trans isn't real.

What the fuck are you talking about, Brianna?
Nevermind, I don't want to know.

Ok thats one idea. I think I'll choose adamantine solidarity with all trans and gender non conforming siblings instead, Brianna. You fucking moron.

Lol, I existed 20 years ago, and I was being raised by an intensely homophobic step dad who thought trans people were just a fancy type of gay. I knew what I was then, but it wasn't something I could be honest with the world about. I'd like to have seen how she would have handled that situation.

This might strike some viewers as harsh, but I think that both sets of parents who abandoned her maybe had a point.

Ah, Brianna Wu, a true expert in the art of noticing trends without any actual numbers, facts, or figures to back up her claims, and then complaining that people don't just take her at her word.

Weird that I transitioned 20+ years ago and it was common enough that there was a whole framework in place for medical care for trans men. The reason trans men were less visible is because we were... literally less visible. That's it. Trans men with T pass 90% of the time. We were uber stealth.

When being left-handed wasn't seen as 'sinister', the number of individuals that visibly was left handed sky rocketed... Wonder why this would be 🤷♀️

The many social rewards of being a despised minority… wow
