trans men will write multiple pages about how they're erased from feminism and not mention trans women once. classic man shit
I can only assume you are referring to the quotes I posted from Jude Doyle's article called Eraserhead which talks about the erasure of trans men/mascs and Doyle's experience as a prominent feminist who realized he was trans and the hostility and erasure he experienced throughout his transition.
Trans women were not mentioned because not everything is about trans women. When trans women talk about their experiences, we don't expect them to talk about trans men, because it's not about trans men.
This is also about the life of one specific person- Jude Doyle: A trans masculine person who was a prominent feminist before transition, and whose transition led to them being a target for mass harassment, violence, transandrophobia and transphobia. To police someone's life story is violence and erasure, which you would know if you read Doyle's words in full instead of sending a reactionary ask based on a gut reaction to a trans man talking about his unique oppression.
"They call it erasure, when this happens. I wasn't prepared for how literal the term was. Every day, I could feel myself disappear. I fall silent, because a person who can't exist can't argue."
[...]
"I can't imagine a person who is willing to hear me. I can't foresee anything but hostility coming from the other side of the screen."
You are proving everything Doyle said to be true.
I also notice you say "class man shit", completely erasing the "trans" part of "trans man" which is something Doyle talked about in said article. The erasure of "trans" from that statement is quite telling of your intentions.
"This wasn't about accountability. This was people tactically forgetting my entire life, including incidents from my life they had personally witnessed or been involved in, so that they could shame me for transitioning. It was bad for me to be a man; if I was a man, I was a bad man, I was all the worst things men are. I was hulking, I was threatening, I was predatory, I was violent."
"I would go from being all the worst things about men to being all the worst things about women. I was treated as both genders, but only the most monstrous stereotype of each one."
If you see someone tentatively finding their voice after being silenced for so long, and your reaction is to try to silence them again, then you are a horrid person.
For long, I have remained silent in the wake of such asks and comments. I didn't want to platform and spread such violent words and sentiments, however, as I've seen others choose to contest such statements and cruelty, I have seen the importance in challenging these statements. I have found comfort in other's counter-arguments towards such statements and have seen minds and hearts change in a way that sparks hope. So I've decided to not remain silent on such matters any longer.
"If you don't speak, someone will speak for you."
And I will not be spoken for.
I will not have my reality defined on someone else's terms.
I will not be made invisible.
"whatever I'm afraid of saying is already true, and denial will not change it. I remind myself that the wrong people benefit from my silence, and will use it to write a version of my life I can't recognize, or just write me out of the world."
[...]
"I cannot give you every man's story, every trans man's story, every trans person's story; I don't know them. What I do know is that every new story helps map the territory."
Doyle never claimed to speak for all trans people. He only claimed to speak for himself, and encourages others to share their own stories.
So, why do you attempt to silence another trans person's story when you could have instead shared your own story?
What do you gain from sending such an ask?
Don't wrap your violence towards trans men within a performative care for trans women.
Doyle's work has come to mean a lot to me. It has given me a voice of my own.
I hope for all trans people to someday find this voice- all marginalized people. You will not find your voice by trying to take the voice of others.
Dear anon, I hope you find something more meaningful to do with your time than stalking the transandrophobia tag to leave cruel asks on blogs less than an hour old. I hope your activism becomes something near substantial one day, and you learn to love trans women more than you hate trans men.
I also hope you learn to read things in full, or even in half, before falling into a blind rage over nothing.
