It is urgently critical to operationalize gender expression when considering the experiences of TNB women and feminine individuals, and even more so with those who are transmisogyny-affected, because policing and weaponizing of feminine gender expression is done with higher intensity for TMA than TME people.
Char lays bare the ethos of those seeking to stymy opaque, challenging discussion in the context of transmisogyny on Tumblr, which has manifested most often in salacious call-out posts leading to harassment, ostracism, doxxing, and, ultimately, departure of many transmisogyny-affected (TMA) users from the platform.

This chapter is based on sixteen in-depth, semi-structured interviews with US-based transgender sex workers on the trans masculine spectrum; specifically, the sample includes seven nonbinary individuals and nine trans men who are TME (trans misogyny exempt).
Additionally, trans women and other trans feminine individuals face far elevated levels of mental and physical trauma and violence compared to their transmisogyny-exempt (TME) peers, directly related to their gender and gender expression through pervasive transmisogyny
Perhaps most famous among contemporary accounts of such condemnation is Porpentine Charity Heartscape’s (2015) pivotal text on transfeminine disposability, “Hot Allostatic Load,” which describes conditions of abjection faced by victims of unsubstantiated callouts, abuse, and ultimate abandonment. In it Heartscape traces a pattern of incorporation, exploitation, and abandonment that characterizes transfeminine involvement in self-identified “queer spaces” dominated by transmisogyny-exempt (TME) people.

examples: Katie Czarniecki Hill, 28, a program associate for Open Field who came up with the idea, thinks it is about time the cat video community joined forces IRL (“In Real Life” in meme-speak).
Dubbed “The Biles” it involves the 19-year-old completing two laid-out backflips with a half twist before landing on two feet and throwing her arms in the air in victory. Or in meme-speak, it involves her leaping into the stratosphere and rotating endlessly in her rightful place among the stars.
The Skrillex track, “The Distance,” is an R&B; ballad with an electro-pop coating and a Ty Dolla $ign feature that sounds new, but old. The Blood Orange/Slick Rick collaboration “Giving Me Life” is like-minded, but clumsier, one of several songs that uses meme-speak to sound current but will sound dated in three months.
De-centered, Trumpish times — when every social norm seems to have been upended — have given Lipsyte plenty of satirical fodder. Indeed, the well is practically bottomless, and finding humor in it — that isn’t just meme-speak and Twitter zingers — is an accomplishment.

In a helpful note from last year, Fitch says “high double leverage could signal difficulty in the [bank holding company] meeting its debt obligations without upstreaming capital from its operating subsidiaries.” But all of this largely backs up one broad view: Silicon Valley Bank’s profitability and now share price are becoming casualties of rising US interest rates. Or, to mangle a bank fundraising deck into meme-speak: SVB Financial’s “We have excellent capital and funding!” T-shirt has people asking lot of questions already answered by its shirt.
The boorish, antidemocratic fare seems unlikely to help him in the real world. But his outrageousness may serve him well in another sphere: “WE’RE DOMINATING [HARRIS] ON SOCIAL MEDIA,” Trump posted Wednesday. “WE’RE BEATING HER ‘LIKE A DRUM,” he continued, LIKE WE WILL BEAT HER ON NOVEMBER 5TH.” It’s a telling line: For all the meme-speak and social media savvy of the Harris campaign, Trump remains the online candidate.

But also, there were parts that looked very dubious indeed—long, whirling discharges of words, unabsorbed in the novel, unrelated to the proper business of fiction, badly if not altogether unacceptable writing, raw gobs of emotion, aimless and quite meaningless jabber, claptrap, belches, grunts, and Tarzan-like screams.
I could have easily been in the Congo. Trees, Tarzan-like vines, creepy crawlies, spiders and more spiders.
European tour referee John Paramor came up with a pair of binoculars for Lane to try to see the ball. And when that did not work Joey Jones, a caddie who was watching at the time, clambered up the trunk and then ventured into the branches Tarzanlike in a valiant and daring attempt to help.
