genuinely have had numerous people tell me that as a trans man i'm "a men's rights activist invading trans spaces".
so many people legitimately do not see trans men as trans.
i need people to understand that so many people for some reason have the idea that trans = feminine or woman. it's a real issue.
how are trans men invading trans spaces? this is where we live. and of course we're gonna advocate for our own rights. why wouldn't we? we don't exist to self flagellate because the idea of transsexual and transgender manhood and masculinity frightens you. i'm a trans man. i'm trans. i'm not invading my own community.
I’m so sick of transandrophobia & enbyphobia istg.
I’m so sick of trans “advocates” leaving transmascs and nonbinary folks like myself out of conversations.
I’m so sick of us ONLY sometimes being brought up in convos when it’s about getting pregnant/the ability to get pregnant, or only being brought up as a “gotcha” in the bathroom debate. By “gotcha” I mean when people say “well, you don’t want transmascs in the women’s, do you?”
I’m sick of talks about abortion & birth control being solely centered around cisgender women when I’m directly affected, too. I’m sick of them being called “women’s rights” when they’re MY rights, too.
I’m sick of people speaking on my chest size like I can control it & I’m sick of transmasc bodies being mocked and policed.
I’m sick of being the first transmasc/nonbinary person most people have met.
I’m sick of the fear mongering around T.
I’m sick of the side effects of T being mocked or treated as “gross.”
I’m sick of being forced into the binary as a “confused trans man” & being told I don’t understand my own gender.
I’m sick of getting tips to “be more feminine” in my transition.
TW: trans violence and suicides
This has been shared a few times but have you ever sorted by violence type? Have you scrolled to the suicide section? Have you seen how many children there are? How many children over all? Have you read any of their stories?
Don't push yourself into reading if you don't have the emotional capacity, it's rough. I don't understand how people can claim we aren't abused
