This just in: transandrophobia discourse hits Twitter as a popular blue transfem influencer suddenly swerves into hating trans men completely out of left field

Her “apology” to the transmasc community was literally just posting an image of a dog shitting on a tree. I wish I was kidding. whatever

the good news is that the majority of people seem to be recognizing this for what it is (bigotry) and rightfully calling her out for it. As shitty as it might feel to be a trans guy right now, I think this is a pretty nice reminder that we do have people on our side. I’ve seen so many people coming out of the woodwork to post transmasc positivity lately bc of this whole debacle, and it’s giving me a lot of hope

also the best addition to come out of all this

Transgender men faced the greatest risk of IPV in the past year. This study expands upon existing research documenting the elevated prevalence of experiencing violence within TGD communities to look at a broad range of violence experiences and documenting differences within TGD subgroups. Our work shows that the association between gender identity and violence was in many instances greatest among transgender men, a demographic group that has often been excluded from GBV research. Nearly half (47%) of transgender men in our study reported experiencing at least 1 form of IPV in the past year. This was over 40% higher than cisgender women and nearly 30% higher than transgender women. These results are in line with previous research that has documented the critically high levels of IPV facing transgender communities. Much of the literature on IPV among transgender communities has centered on transgender women. This is likely because much of the transgender and violence research has come from HIV funding, studying populations at disproportionately high risk of acquiring HIV through penile-anal sexual intercourse. While important, given that transgender men were much more likely to experience IPV in our study, more attention to transgender men and their risk for violence is needed. As such, our results add to the limited body of literature exploring differences in experiences of violence within the transgender community. When we explored these experiences by the type of IPV experienced, transgender men were more likely to report both emotional, controlling, or threatening IPV as well as physical or sexual IPV, with 31% of transgender men reporting experiencing physical or sexual IPV in the past year, compared with only 3% of the total sample. Given these stark numbers, it is essential that IPV screening and services are expanded to ensure they are accessible and safe for transgender men. Current IPV services are often framed as violence against women services and thus may not feel welcoming or accessible for transgender men.

now think about every ""joke"" post about trans men being kept in the closet or detransitioned by their abusive cis boyfriend. that blames the trans man and makes it seem like an embarrassment on his part. this is why the trans community needs the word transandrophobia because we have so much shit we need to discuss and unwork

Masterpost of Transmasc Theory

The following is a list of posts, articles, sites etc that talk about transandrophobia and/or anti-transmasculinity, or broader issues and experiences of transmascs that may not use (or even like) this language. I think it's important to look at works from people of all perspectives, and I think it's important for us to be able to look at others' works and see if we can apply our own frameworks (i.e anti-transmasculinity) to the ideas they're presenting as well.

I have also included some texts that I consider foundational to these theories, and I highly recommend reading them to see the frameworks a lot of us are building upon.

Some of these works are much more academic in nature, which I understand is an entry barrier. If anyone needs help with parts of works that you may not understand or would like a second opinion, feel free to DM me or send me an ask and I'll try my best to help out if spoons and time is available.

** = contains more links you should also click through and read thoroughly. Some links may be repeated here, because I think they're also foundational and/or exceptional works.

Hot take: at the end of the day, privilege is a material, measurable phenomenon. We identify privilege when we identify that the privileged group, taken as a statistical block, experiences a range of particular improved outcomes versus the overall population average.

Whenever I see people talking about whether or not trans men experience male privilege, I see them talking about hypotheticals and anecdotes. "What if a trans man who has had...." or "well this one trans guy I know has said he..." Privilege isn't about a trans man or some trans men. Does the population of trans men experience this?

Pointing at individuals to argue against the disprivilege of groups is nonsensical. Alice Walton is worth US$101 billion; her fortune does not disprove the overall economic subjugation of women. Stephen Hawking was a household name, and remains easily recognizable years after his death; his prominence does not disprove the overall public marginalization and invisibility of disabled people.

When you're talking privileges, you're talking the concrete aggregate experiences of real people, not the demographic equivalent of a perfectly spherical cow in a vacuum. That's what your hypothetical fully passing trans man who has had all possible surgeries is; he has no inconvenient biology, he has no social ties to his previous life, he has no history, and he ultimately has no material reality. And somehow, he gets treated as though if he can be admitted into the patriarchal class of the privileged, then that must be the ultimate truth of the transmasculine experience.

Perfectly Passing Georg is an outlier and should not have been counted.

[therapatical]

historical silence of an entire demographic should fill you with horror, fear, and dread, wondering "what happened here?", and not blanket assumptions that nothing happened at all. there is no mass demographic of human beings who simply sit around and do nothing, have no history, have no stories. if an entire demographic has its history missing, there is a reason for that. and that reason is damn near always violent.
