transmasculine erasure is just so wild. its genuinely like people have blinders. you'd think it would be impossible for someone to make a ludicrous statement like "masculinity is always rewarded and encouraged over femininity" or "a trans man couldn't be mocked for his masculinity, because that would mean questioning masculinity itself," you'd think people would automatically go "well obviously that's not true, people seen as women are actively encouraged to be feminine and to not be masculine, yes femininity is seen as lesser but people seen as women are meant to be lesser and are supposed to be okay with and enjoy this, like this should be so obvious that we shouldn't even need to go over specific examples of how untrue it is" but no. you can say stupid bullshit like that and people will not only take it fully seriously but will genuinely get mad at you if you point out how blatantly wrong it is.
genuinely anti-transmasculinity feels like this ominous looming black void in the middle of feminism that everyone just pretends isn't there, and you are meant to stand around it and act totally normal, and if you go "hey um isn't it weird how no one talks about the ominious looming black void? it makes me feel kind of uncomfortable" everyone looks at you like you are insane and gets mad at you and tells you there is no void and thinking there's a void makes you a misogynist and also if there was a void it would be your fault it exists in the first place. and also it would be kind of a funny, perhaps even good, thing if you think about it. but there is no void! so shut up :)
you can say these things and not only a bunch of people fail to challenge you on it, you can even publish it! those quotes are literally lines out of whipping girl!!!!
What if I told you this void wasn't just about the trans kind of masculinity, and feminism is just hatefully wrong, proudly ignorant, and openly malicious about all kinds of masculinity?
