On 4chan'
s /lgbt/ board (/tttt/), a pejorative for trans
people (particularly trans women) who attempt to win the support/approval of transphobes by catering to them. These
people often denigrate themselves to fall just outside transphobes' claims as to why trans
people are bad (thus allowing themselves to be "one of the good ones") while looking down on other trans
people (the "bad ones").
One notable Auntie
Tom is Blaire White. Like many transmedicalists and conservatives, she ridicules non-binary
people, has said to trans women "you are not trans", is "against" transgender children being allowed to transition in any form (medical or social), and that even acknowledging a child's transness is "grooming". (Blaire voted for
Trump in 2016,
2020, and 2024.)
Like Uncle Toms, Auntie Toms fail to realize they are only "one of the good ones" as a matter of convenience. As a historic parallel, consider the Association of German National Jews, a Jewish organization that supported Adolf Hitler because they believed the Nazis would only wipe out the "racially inferior" Eastern European Jews right up until they were all sent to the concentration camps.
In much the same way, Auntie Toms are also tokens, tokens which
will eventually be spent. When they get upset over transphobic laws stripping their rights, conservatives shrug and move on because they don't actually care about the "good ones". And if trans death camps ever get built, Auntie Toms
will also meet their demise.
